I know that you will eater into conference with the officers of ths navy In that spirit and with that feeling, and it makes me proud, gentlemen, that the busy men of America, the men who stand at the froat of their professions, should be willing la this way to associate themselves voluntarily with the gov- erament in the task la which It needs all sorts of expert and serious advice. Nothing ought to be done In this country by any single group of per sons everything ought to be done by all of us ualted together—sad I welcome this association la the most serious and grateful spirit.” The president's brief address, which greatly pleased the advocates of a large army and navy, was ad dressed to Thomas A.

William L. Saunders, Benjamin B. Thayer, J. W. Richards and Lawrence Addicks. They had called on Secretary Dan iels at his office before going to the White House. Mr. Daniels welcomed the members of the board and tried to impress upon them the Importance of their service to the nation. He reminded the scientists and in ventors that the old order of naval things is passing away and that “Old theories are crumbling daily into dust,’’ He explained why he had called the members of the board, who will receive no pay, to aid •him in formulating a plan to uphold the navy. “After consultation with the heads of the bureaus charged with ord nance, engineering and construction, a tentative plan has been thought out by which the experts in the navy and the civilian members of this board may work together to secure the desired results,” said Secretary Daniels. “Of course, we have not presumed to ask you gentlemen to take the laboring oar or to devote your time to the work that the navy Itself should do.* Mr. Edison has hap pily said that the naval experts com pose the attending physicians, while the members of the board are the consulting physicians. In the depart ment we must do the bulk of work, f£rm a clearing house for ideas and suggestions, and call upon you gen tlemen to aid in two ways: “1.

EK CABINET RESKNS; KINt TIWARTS VENIZELOS m BY WIRELESS H After Being Told by Constantine That His Support Would be With held, Premier Quite. p. King Constantine of Greece has ac cepted the resignation of the Venl- setOe cabinet, according to an official dispatch which reached London Wed nesday, being transmitted from the British capital to the United States. Athens reports via London Wed nesday: After his conference with King Constantine, Premier Venlxelos returned to the chamber of deputies and made statements of the causes of the disagreement. He then ah nounced the resignation of the entire cabinet. Sittings of the chamber were suspended. The position taken by King Con stantine of Greece In his interview with Premier Venlzelos, sayfc a Lon don dispatch, is said by the Athens correspondent of the Havas Agency to have been that he could not pur sue to the end the policy of the Venl zelos cabinet. Athens reports via Paris Wednes day: The resignation of Premier Venlzelos was altogether unexpected. He conversed with the correspondent of the Associated Press Wednesday at noon in a manner which Indicated the utmost confidence in the future course of his government. Mean while King Constantine came to Athens from Tatol, the summer resi dence of the royal family, and sum moned the premier to the palace. After a terse interview in which there was the plainest speaking, the premier proceeded to the chamber of deputies and announced that he had again disagreed with the king on the foreign policy, and had presented his resignation and that of his cabinet. This announcement led to a scene of wild disorder. The city is greatly excited. There is much discussion of the formation of a coalition cabinet A Reuter dispatch from Athens says: “It Is a long time since so grave a debate has taken place In the Greek chamber as that which occur red to-day, and never in the history of the country has a premier faced an opposition, determined to over throw him with greater self-coafl- dence and pluck. “Premier Venltelos defied his oppo nents to follow a different course than that which he took.” After Premier Venizelos had ex plained to the Chamber of Deputlee Tueeday the circumstancee connected with the landing of allied troop* at Salonlki the chamber paseed a vote of confidence in the government, says an Athens dispatch which comes via London. The vote waa 142 to 102. with thirteen members not voting.

Theodore N. Vail, President or the American Telephone and Telegraph company, picked up an instrnment from his desk in his office at New York Friday afternoon and said in quite an ordinary tone: “Hello, Carty. This Is Vail talk ing. Can you hear me?” In the wireless tower of the United States navy yard at Mare Island, California, which la in San Francisco Bay and something like 2,500 miles from 'New York City, John J. Carty, chief engineer of the corporation and leading scientist in the business of communication, caught the voice of his friend. “Yes, I hear you! This is fine! This is wonderful!” he said. Another feat of distance-oblitera tion had been accomplished. The sound of Mr. Vail’s voice had crossed the continent, had spanned the thou sand leagues of farmland, prairie and mountain, almost entirely through the air, almost entirely without the use of wires. The wireless telephone long sought, had been proved a com plete success. Secretary Daniels announced the successful transmission of wireless telephone messages from the United States naval radio station at Arling ton to the naval radio station at Mare Island, Cal., a distance of about 2,500 miles. All that was necessary to carry on thla trans-continental wireless telephone conversation was to connect the receiver and trans- mitterwxpparatus of the special tele phone outfit with the radio appar atus and send the message. Captain W. H. G. Bullard. U. 8. N„ who ia in charge of the Arlington station, and other officers of the navy conversed with officers of the navy on duty at the Mare Island yard The demonstration was the result of experiments that have been In pro gress for some time, and their success is expected to have a revolutionary Influence on communication between American naval vessels and shore stations. By means of this appar atus. which probably will be Install ed at all naval radio stations. It Is expected that officers of the navy, on land, will be abli to carry on wire less telephone conversations with of fleers at sea. Captain Bullard said that the ap paratus had been perfected to point where a person on shore might carry on a long distance wireless tele phone conversation with a friend on a trane-atlantlc liner In mid-ocean whenever shore station and liner were equipped with the apparatus. Mr. Vail’s words went from his of flee over a wire to the top of the United States naval radio tower at Arlington. Va.. which ia 650 feet high. From that point, without In terruption, they leaped into the ether and sped to the top of the naval radio station at Mare Island, which Is 350 feet above sea level. There Mr. Carty heard them. It was more than a wireless-tele phony test. It was a test of wire- then wireless communication. Had there been a radio tower of sufficient height In New York City, the message might have been went entirely through the air. But that would have been easier to do than what was actually done! Mr. Carty's reply to the president of the company was made over a wire-telephone—because there was no wireless sending apparatus at Mare Island. If there had been one, and a tower in New York City, the entire conversation would have been through the air. But—as if to make the thing more amazing than it really was—here was Mr. Vail in New York talking to his engineer across 2,500 miles of space and, the receiving end of the same instrument, hearing his reply over 2,500 miles of wire. “What a glorious success!” ex claimed Mr. Vail, as he listened to Mr. Carty's voice. “I want to con gratulate you and the others who have brought it about!” This went by wire-and-air. “What next?” answered the engi neer. “We can’t tell, eh?” This came by wire. Mr. Vail spoke certain sentences through the air and asked Mr. Carty to repeat them, to show he was ac tually-hearing. To the president of the company, and to a score or so of others who sat close to him, each with a receiver at his ear, came back the words, repeated exactly. ^ There.,was no doubt that the new marvel had been wrought success fully. It was the culmination of many months of tests at lesser dis tances. If became known at the New York offices of the telephone and tel egraph company that in August Mr. Carty had talked wltll Lieut. Cran- shaw, an army officer stationed at Panama, which is 1,800 miles away. The discovery is, of course, of tre mendous significance in the work of lx>ng distance communication. For instance, it would have been much easier, it waa declared by Mr. Carty from San Francisco to have talked to London, Paris or Berlin than to talk to San Francisco. Were It not for the war that vort thing would have been done. It will q^fallv he a vorr mimmlM matter ^4r.

I* aot have Ms teto- tho lag of wins, Mr. Carty axplalaed. will not bo necessary. Ths romoto hamd lot will simply have 1U wireless tals- phona.,. A reporter was permitted to have nearly an hour ol talk with Mr. Carty between 16 Day Street and the Bell main offices In San Francisco. It waa just at easy as though the re porter had been in the office of the engineer. When the San Francisco connec tion'was made, the reporter said: "Mr. Carty, this Is Mr. -, who wrote January 26 last 6f Ihe open ing of the transcontinental telephone wire. That waa supposed at the time to be a wonderful thing.” The readily recognizable tones of the engineer.responded: “Oh, yes—glad to hear from you again. Now we have a much more wonderful thing. It seems to be a complete success.” “Dr. 'Bell, the Inventor of the tel ephone. said a few months ago,” the reporter recalled to Mr. Carty, “that eventually human thought would be sent by wire or wireless.” “Who knows?” laughed the Engi neer 3,000 miles away. Mr. Carty was asked at this “point if he would describe the instruments and the electrical processes which were used in wireless telephony across the continent. He replied that because of the patents, and because this was not a final test by ftny means, he was obliged at present to decline to do so. “Will the wireless telephone ever replace the wire telephone?” “I do not think so,” Mr. -Carty re plied. “In my belief, the number of wireless telephone calls will remain in the thousands, while the wire calls run up into the billions. Wireless telephony is a much more difficult process. As I see it now, the great est value of the wireless telephone will be in reaching places where wires can not be strung>—for in stance. deserts. Jungles, remote mountain tops and so on.” “How about talking to a ship at sea?. How about talking across the ocean?” "Well, as things stand now,” the far away engineer answered, “the editor of your paper oould as readily call up his correspondent in London and give him instructions about send ing war news as he could call up your reporter In uptown New York. Yes. I think there is no doubt we could easily reach ships at sea. If they were properly equipped, and have wirel< telephonic cdmmunlcation with thoee on board.” ’’Will this be of value to the navy?” Mr. Carty was aaked. ”1 want to aay,” he replied, "that the navy baa been moat kind and courteous in allowing ua the use of Its towers and In eo-operatlng with us in every possible way. While the Invention is the property of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company alone. I would like to eey thnt the United Statee navy, and no other navy, will have it.” "Would It be poeelble to tend n secret meeeege by wireleee tele phony? Would It not be poeelble for any one having n receiving apparatus to listen to’?” Mr. Carty laughed. ”Yaa,” he aatd. “I guess it would As things are now, any one who could tnne a receiving Inetrnment In to the eeme pitch aa ours could hear everything thnt was said. In fart, 1 suppose Mr. Vail’s remarks to ms were heard by hundreds of persons throughout the country. As a mat ter of fact, more persons will be able to listen in on n wireless telephone conversation than now are able to listen in on n party-line wire tele phone.” The possibilities seemed to amuse him. “But perhaps that may be reme died some time.” he added Asked again about the faaciuating prospect of talking to ships at sea. Mr. Carty said: “We have to contend there with the same thing with which wireless telegraphy has to contend—that un explained electrical condition In the atmosphere which is called ‘static,’ which makes noises and interrupts our currents. There is a lot to be done, of course, but I am sure we will be able to talk to ships. ^Indeed, a lot of quiet, unsensational work is to be done yet with the whole mat ter of wireless telephony, but it has been demonstrated to-day as a suc cess. “Here is something I would like to have pointed out; we had better re sults to-day. talking across 3,000 miles of air, than Alexander Graham Bell, the still-living inventor of the wire telephone, had when he talked a few feet in Washington over the first wire Instrument—and that is really only a few years ago." “Do you require higher power for a wireless telephone than for a wire less telegraph?" was asked. “That is unsettled,” the engineer answered. "I may say that our ap paratus is much smaller than a wire less telegraph apparatus. As to the relative power, I’m not sure though I’m inclined to think we will require more power." This interview,- tlirftough it was over a span of 3,000-miles—and if It had been paid for, the rate would have been twenty-odd dollars for the first five minutes, and nearly as much per minute afterward—ran on for a considerable length of time. ME-L concea | e( j Carty was happy and enthusiastic, and was delighted to talk. His voice was just as distinct as though he had been uptown. The.reporter asked him to call up the San Francisco correspondent of the paper and have the San Francisco man send x story about how .the ex periment was received on the Pacific coast. This was promptly done. As a final question Mr. Carty was asked: “tVUl It be possible to start a telephone conversation over a wire, then have It go through the air, and then go aefoss another wire, finally? Could we * resident of San Francisco snd have the message go hi lift & AdlMfcttr , Mare Island, and then by wire agato Into a hose to Saw Francisco?” Certainly: thnt wotfld present no 1 dtmenmes.” the rtpBsd. rhscfcttmg ever the ai ■keel el the interrogator, vtMfc to bona audible S.6M alien away After Mr. Vail had made the first experiment, various other officials of the American Telephone and Tele graph company talked by wireless to Mr. Carty la San Francisco. Among them were Union. N. Bethefl, the senior vice president; John I. Water- burg, a director, and Bancroft Gher- ardl, engineer of the plant. Several scientists witnessed the tests.

All those present—as was the case in New York and San Francisco—were equipped with receiving Instruments so they might hear the conversation. President Theodore N, Vail of the American Telephone and Telegraph company later received a message from J. J. Carty, the company’s chief engineer, at Mare Island, Cal.'; a mes sage that earlier in the day Lloyd Espenschied, his representative at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, had cabled that the success of communication between the naval wireless station at Arlington, Va., and the station at Pearl Harbor Wednesday night had been repeated Thursday night. Bat the ifaost astounding part of Espenschied’» message was that on the mld-Paciflc island he was able to recognize clearly the voice of K. A. Heising, of the engineering staff of the Western "Electric company, who was talking to him from Arlington, four thousand miles away Thursday night. Mr. Espenscheid and *Mf. Heising are friends and know each other’s voice. Engineers of the telephone com pany pointed to the circumstance of Espenschied being able to identify the voice of the man talking to him as illustrating their claim that wire less telephony would bring persons into more reliable communication than Impersonal wireless telegraphy. The projection of personality through the ether waves they regard as a most important feature of the perfec tion of the wireless telephone. Espenschied’s message to Mr. Car ty said that Rear Admiral Rousch, Commander Furor and Lieutenant Lande, of the United States navy, stationed at Honolulu, had listened in while Mr. Heising was talking from Arlington and that their en thusiasm over the. success of the ex periment knew no bounds. The mechanical Inventions which made possible wireless telephony from Washington to Hawaii, and set a new milestone In the development of human Intercommunication, will he kept a profound secret because of their proposed use for national de fense. The secret W known only by high officials of the American Telephone and Telegraph company, which u>n ducted the successful experiments this week, and one or two navy offl cere, who aided the engineers of the telephone company These facta became known In reply to a request for a technical descrip tion of the apparatus which has made a reality of the dream sc tent lata have had for a decade. The request waa referred to Bancroft Gherardl, auper Intendent of plant for the telephone company, who worked with Chief 1 gineer J. J. Carty ip perfecting the invention, or inventiona. for wireless telephony represents many Inven tlons “The request Is not n reasonable one nt this time,” said Mr. Gherardl "In the first place oar company Is In terested to the commercial possibili ties of the project, for it means the expenditure of much work and money. We have not yet obtained the patents, and to reveal the details now would mean to give ourselves away.” "Suppose a foreign nation were to offer a vast sum of money for the rights to the Inventions,” was sug nested to Mr. Gherardl. “We would not listen for one mo ment.” was the reply. "This com pany and Its engineers will do every thing possible to safeguard the in terests of the American government in the wireless telephone.” . Mr. Gherardl said he desired to correct the report that the invention belonged to the government. It be longed to the telephone company, which would do everything to facili tate its use by the government, he ex plained. American Decisions Cited by Sir Ed* ward Grey Do Not Justify Opera tions of Blockading Forces—Block ade Ineffective, Illegal and to Vio lation of ML S. Sovereignty. The administration is satisfied that the German crisis has passed safely, and the president now has turned his attention to Great Britain. Many messages of congratulation were received at the White House on the successful culmination of the German controversy. Sir Cecjl Spring-Rice held a long conference with Secretary Lansing concerning the tfade situation. While neither Secretary Lansing nor the anjbassador would discuss the details of the conference, it Is understood that Sir Cecil made it plain that Great Britain is aaxious to accom modate American shippers. The belated statements made by the British ambassador will not in terfere with the administration’s plans to send to London, without de lay, the long, carefully prepared note protesting against the methods by which the British authorities have injured overseas trade of American shippers. The note has been completed. Sec retary Lansing probably will take it to the White House within the next twenty-four hours, to' go over th details with the President. It is probable the president wt make some changes before it is pu on the cable for London. It appears' likely the note may be dispatched to Ambassador Page for presentation to the foreign office before Sunday.
