simplified form. Bearings may thus
be taken rapidly. at any time, and
as often as desired.
Avoids Former Delays.
This system developed by the De-
partment of Commerce, Bureau of
standards. should be carefully dis
tinguished from another system of
determining positions by radio.
which is now in use. in which the
ship transmits signals to radio COM
pass stations on shore. which report
to the ship it's position, by radio.
This system avoids the delays and
errors likely to occur in depending
on radio compass stations on shore,
since with the latter. even under the
most favorable conditions, valuable
time may be consumed in making
request for bearings, taking bear
ings, and getting the information
back to the navigator on the ship.
The radio direction finder as used
by the Department of Commerce in
wolves a number of unique features.
1t is designed to be installed over
the ships pinnacle carrying the
magnetic compass card. so that the
radio bearings are read directly on
the magnetic compass card. An ad-
ditional scale is attached to the top
OF the pinnacle and marked with
the corrections obtained by cali
brating the radio direction finder.
By these means the radio bearings
are obtained in a simple and direct
manner. The electrical features
have been made such that the only
operations necessary when taking
radio bearing, are one adjustment in
the radio receiving set, and the ro-
tating of the direction finder coil.
Becomes National Beacon.
A radio transmitting station in
tended primarily for direction find
ing work is often called a radio
beacon" Radio beacons may be in
stalled at small expense on light
houses and lightvessels. The trans
mitting equipment may be designed
to operate automatically by simply
throwing a switch. so that no ad-
ditional personnel is necessary. The
radio transmitting equipment is set
into operation by the lightkeeper.
just as the other signaling devices
at the light station. The expense
of operation of the radio beacon is
therefore Small.
The Department of Commerce has
established three radio beacons at
the approaches to New York harbor,
on Ambrose LiGhtvessel, Fire Island
Lightvessel and at Sea Girt Light
house. Sea Girt. n. ]. These three
beacons are now in regular COM
mission and transmit waves of
frequency of 900 kilocycles per sec
ond (wave length-1, 900 meters). A
raaio beacon is being installed on
S& Francisco Lightvessel. No. 10.
These beacons have automatic
transmitting equipment so that no
operator is necessary.
Pamphlet Describes Device.
The Bureau of Standards has re-
Gently issued a publication describ-
ing this system of radio direction
finding. This publication shows
numerous photographs of a radio
direction finder of the type men,
toned above. as installed on the
pilot house of a lighthouse tender.
Actual courses are shown which
were run by means of radio bear
ings taken by the ships navigator,
on the three beacons at the ap-
proaches to New York harbor. In
these tests. positions were determ
ined by cross bearings on the three
radio beacons, and courses were set

PRESIDENT WOULD HAVE
10000 NAVY PERSONNEL
States to Republican Members of
House Committee Objections to
Drastic Reduction.

President Harding is understood to
have told republican members of the
House naval committee. at a White
House conference today. that while
he felt some reduction should be made
in the Navy personnel. the total num-
ber of enlisted men ought not to be
cut under $4,000.
The President also is said to have
strongly urged legislation for CONVEX
sion of two battle cruisers into air
plane carriers.
While the Question as to whether
the $40 members of the first-year class
at Annapolis, to be graduates in June,
should be commissioned was not con-
sidered in det1l, 1t was stated that
the President advocated a sharp re-
duction in the number of men to be
admitted to the academy each year in
the future.
Sentiment in the committee has
been expressed as favoring an ap-
preparation bill carrying around
S200, COO 900, as against the s35e.00o.-
600 asked by the Navy Department.
and provision for a Navy of $4,000
men, instead of the minimum Of co.

Poincare and Lloyd George
Meet at BouIegne for Pre-

BY the Associated Press.


BoCLOGNE, February 25.-Confer-
ences regarding the program for the
coming international economic and
financial conference at Genoa were
begun here this afternoon between
Premier Poincare of France and
Prime Minister Lloyd George of Great
Britain.
The French premier arrived at noon
to prepare for the conference. Mr..
Lloyd George reached here shortly
before o'clock, and at once Joined
NJ. Poincare in the parlors of the SUBJ
prefecture.
The discussion between the heads
of the two governments was in strict
privacy. the only other person present
being VI. Camerlynck, the French Off
cial interpreter.
The British premier, who had spent
the night at Lympne, England, cross
ed the channel to Calais and motorei
here. He was followed into BouiogEe
by large contingent of newspaper
men, who had been awaiting his Gp-
pearance along the Calais -Boulogne
road.
Genoa is receiving less and less
mention as the site for the interna-
tlCEal conference, ana the impression
is gaining ground that the premiers
may decide it inadvisa BILE to hold the
meeting in Italy.
Even until the arrival Of the noon
train from Paris Bouiogne, although
proud OF the honor at having the
premiers meet here, was not at all
sure OF it, as NJ. Poincare was under
stood to have SO arranged that he
could change the place of meeting If
pressed too closely by the crowd of
reporters trailing him.
The correspondents began arriving
yesterday, both here and at Calais
which had also been mentioned as the
site of the interview. and engaged all
available automobiles SO as to be
able to follow the premiers to their
meeting place, wherever it might be.
