TROOPS TO DRILL
BY RADIO ORDERS

A squad OF troops from Govern
or's Island drilling at the radio
phone commands of their officer
miles away will be one of the
sights arranged for the radio show
next week at the Seventy-nrst
Regiment Armory.
The army authorities are desir-
Gus Of showing to the public the
possibilities Of the perfected radio
telephone In modern warfare. They
believe the sole means Of COM
munication in future wars will be
the radio telephone.
During the exhibition drill the
officer in command will be at
nearby broadcasting station Thou
sands of 'listeners-in" will hear
the commands for military evolu-
tions. The commands will be
sounded in the Seventy-nrst Regi-
ment Armory from a huge ampli-

radio show technical advisory COM
mittee and formerly chief engineer

Universal Tongue

Belief that a universal language,
possibly Esperanto, will be the
logical outcome OF radio telephony.
was expressed by Prof. A. Christian.
fthe department of languages OF
the University of Glasgow, at the
headquarters of the Esperanto So
ciety. New York. Prof Christian
has arrived in the United States to
deliver a series of lectures at CO.
lumbia University. before the Ma
tional Geographic Society in WASH
ington, at the Universities of, Pitts
burggh and Pennsylvania, and be-
fore the Washington high schools
He had just accepted the appoint
ment by the management of the
New York radio show as consultant
to the shows advisory committee.
Prof Christian wilI deliver an ad-
dress in Esperanto through the
shows broadtasting station. 1t
will be the first time that Esper-
anto has been transmitted by radio.
Another authority on the uni
versal language to indorse the
Views of Prof. Christian Is Henry
W. Fisher. chief engineer of the
Standard Underground Cable Com
pany. at It's Perth Amboy plant.
Prof Christian disclosed informa-
tion indicating that the radio teic-
phone has been an important factor
at the Genoa conference.
The radio telephone" said PROF..
Christian, " has enabled diplomat
lists TO ascertain the views of their
home governments when time limi-
tation precluded the use of other
media OF communication.
Radio is doing more in Europe
to dissipate mistrust and i'll feeling

But no standard outfit to 40

Secretary Hoover has done much
to simplify varieties in the plate

poets to do much in the lumber
industry. And, II is understood. he
has in mind similar methods of
simplifiaction in the radio industry.
The new radio bill when passed
will probably not contain any pro-
visions for the simplification of

powers given the Secretary of
Commerce under the bill may be
interpreted, IT is said, to include
a friendly supervision over the

AUTOMATIC SOS
SIGNAL DEVELOPED

Progress has been made in Eng
land in developing an automatic
device for sending out S o S or
distress signals at sea. Instead of
using the usual telegraph key and
sending out the S o S call. the sys-
tenn is to send out by means Of an
automatic device a dasrr Of a GER
tain length at regular intervals.
Such signals serve to operate an
alarm bell on other ships within
range. The operator of the ship in
distress can then send specific in
structions. The signals do not con-
fict with other radio signals. Ten
ships are already equipped with
the new signaling device and
twenty-five more are being so
equipped. Satisfactory results have
been obtained over a radius of 100
miles. according to the Scientific
American.
