new DEVICE Will
TRANSMIT PHOTO
OR HANDWRITING

CHRISTIANIA, Norway, April s.
Herwood Peterson, a chief engineer
in the government telegraph service,
has invented wire and cable sys-
TEN by which it is possible to trans
fer a picture or message in origi-
nal handwriting over a practically
unlimited distance. The device was
recently publicly tested here between
two 600-mile points and was report
ed successful.
Contrary to the present telegraph
system, Mr. Peterson uses an alter
mating electric current, allowing a
strictly synehronous work of the
sending and the receiving appara-
tus, a higher speed, and an enor-
nous saving of operating costs. The
system, it is claimed, also makes it
possible to transmit double the mum.
Der of words compared with any
other telegraphic system now used
and it operates automatically from
the moment the telegram picture or
drawing is received by the operator
until it is received at the place Of
delivery. No new wires or cables
are necessary.
The manuscript to be transferred
is placed on a metallic cylinder
somewhat resembling an original wax
phonograph cylinder-covered with a
Photographic film and exposed to a
strong arc light The manuscript is
copied on thee ylinder film, develop
ed and chromagraphically etched into
the metal. The cylinder is then
placed on the sending apparatus to
which is transmitted an electric cur
rent going to the receiving appara.
tus. When the cylinder rotates a
needle moves on ii, touching every
point on the cylinder Whenever it
touches the copied letters OF the

my AHeOclate0 FEesAI
WASHINGTON, d. c., April g.
President Harding is not committed
to any definite program with regard
to a congressional declaration to de
clare the state of war with Ger
many to be at an end.
While the president voted for the
Knox resolution when he was a
member of the senate, and spoke
favorably regarding it in his address
of acceptance, he is understood to
feel there is no occasion for precipi-
tate action at this time.
The presidents views regarding
the peace program are expected to
be made known at the opening ses-
sion of the new congress. which the
executive may address in person.
In the meantime, it is known the
president and his advisers are grow
ing more and more convinced that
there is no practical way to consider
the Versailles covenant.
