ago the underground and undersea

known principles, and radio men said
II would be impossible to communi-

less a parsonage than Marconi. at a
dinner given him in Washington

had to come to the surface to receive
the ether waves. Wireless communi-
cation since has been accomplished
under earth and sea.

The underground system during the
war by the use OF loops was tested
out sin France by Lieutenant Priess
and found so efficient for directing
the forces on the battlefield from

OF this kind were sent from this coun-
try to France. and when other forms

In conclusion, DR.. Rogers stated
that the high development already at

DR.. Rogers said that he will direct

WOOD LIKELY TO
QUIT ARMY TO RUN

whether General Wood will, or will
not retire from the army, will not be
the only important matter to be up
for discussion. The generals boom
has grown to such proportions. 1t Is
said. that II Is now necessary to settle
various questions Of policy.
That Senator Borah's letter to Gen
eral Wood raised some of the i'm
portant issues which are among those
which General Wood and his friends
intend to face is considered certain.
This letter first sent to Governor
Lowdcn, Illinois favorite son, and
later to the general asks, first. IL he
believes the treaty should be submit
ted to the people as an issue, and.
second, if he favored "any policy, al
lance, or league of partnership
to abandon our tradition
al foreign policy and enter into un-
derstandings and combinations which
would embroil us in all European con-
flicts and turmoils."
SPOKE for G. O. p. Senators.
Senator Borah made it plain that
he was speaking for a number of Re-
publican Senators opposed to the
League of Nations; that he intended
to put the same question to all can
didates whose position on the ques-
ton is not already a matter If rec
ord and that he had no intention OF
'heckling" the candidate. He only
wanted candidates to make their
stand perfectly clear. inasmuch as
the policies involved must necessarily
come before the next Administration
regardless of whether America en-
tered the league.
Today Senator Borah stated that
General Wood had not replied to the
letter and, so far as he was aware.
no reply was contemplated.
81 think. said the Senator from
Idaho, that II is the first question
the General finds some difficulty in
answering, for that merely requires
a yes or mo- The second quSs-
tion he could answer as Governor
Lowden did. by going all around it."
Perhaps the generals position in
the army makes ii difficult for him
to discuss the League of Nations,
Americas foreign policy and such
questions" 1t was suggested.
"If a man is in a position where
he cannot make his opinions known"
the Senator replied, then he ought
not to be candidate"
what candidates stand for. Neither
Democrats nor Republicans are go
ing to vote for a man whose posi-
ton is In doubt. They are not goiig
to vote for a party: they are going to
vote for platform.
People Want To Know.
II am getting letters every day
from all sorts of people, rich and
poor, all saying the same thing.
There has never been a time like the
present. People want to know"
"Can General Wood remain in the
army, yet come out in the open on
these and similar problems7 Some
Of his hackers are of the opinion that
he can; others fear he cannot; so
despite the Secretary Of Wars de-
cision that his resignation is not nee
essary. the matter will come UP for
hgnal settlement Monday in Chicago,
probably with his full managerial
quorum present.
