Eight Years' Lapse. -New Yorw, Jan. 21.--Clarenco (H. Mackay, president of 'Commercial Ca bles Postal Telegraph system has an nounced that his company has just completed a contract With the German Atlantic Cable company, a German corporation, .under the terms of which direct cable communication with Germany will 'be restored after a lapse of eight years. This contract, which has Just been signed, cills -for laying a new cable between 'New York and Emden, Ger many, with the cable touching at the Azores, to be completed and in op eration -by October 1923. The arrange ment -provides for the Commercial Ca ble company to lay a cable from New York to the Azores, (2,302 miles) and for the German company to make the connection between the Azores and Emden (1,888 miles). The iwo sections' will be joined at the Azores station and all messages will be transferrea automatically from one to the other, giving -what'.virtually will be instan taneous service between the two coun tries. The contract 'further provides that the Commercial Cables Postal Tele graph system shall handletto the Ger man company all messages collected by the United States destined for Ger Many and that the German company shall reciprocate 'by sending all Its American traffic via the Commercial Cables 'Postal Telegraph system. The laying of this new ca'ble is -the first attempt at resumption of direct communication 'between the United States and Germany. (During the war there was no cable communication be twieen Germany and the United States. Since the signing of the armistice all cable messages sent between the two countries have had to pass either through England or France. This plan has not proven satisfactory to Ameri can business interests and 'the new ca ble is being put down in response to a widespread demand on the part of commercial houses, banking institu tions and others interested in the trade relations of the United States and Germany 'for 'better communication fa cilities. Prior to the outbreak of the World War 'Ahere were two cables be tween the United States and Germany and .both were. operated by the Con emercial company alt-houlgh owned by the German-Atlantic Cable company. The first of these iwas laid in 1900 and the second in 1904. They extended from New York to the Azores, and thence to Emden, Germany. The sections between Emden and the Azores were cut in the English channel by the British admiralty within an hour after Great Britain de clared war upon Germany, August 5, 1914, -and from then until March, 1917, lay dormant. In March, 1917,- they again were cut by the British govern ment at a point more than 60O miles from New York, and one of the cables, under agreement between Great Brit ain and France, was diverted into Hal ifax, Nova Scotia, and IPenzance, Eng land, and since July 1, 1916 has been used 'by the British government as part of its Imperial Telegraph and Cable system. The French .government did not remove the othuer erstwhile Germr cable from American shores, but November, 1917, thie French cable shi) Jermanac, arrived at New' York and out .both cables some five miles from their landing place at tiho Commercial Cable company's station -at Far -Rocka way, and diverted one of theni into the French Cable company's station at Coney Island1 The~end diverted to the French Cable company station was put into operation by that company, under control of French government, between1 New York and Brest, France, via the Azores. *"The; disposition of these two ex German cables," said Mr. Mackay in his statement yesterday, is now in the hands of .the five allied powers to whom the. eables were- ceded by many under the treaty of peacc and the Com mercial Cable company has filed a very substantial claim aigaitnst thema On accouuit of .its former contract for the operation of these cables, which contract :was impossible of resumption at~ the 'elope of the war because of the seizure of. the calbles .by- t'he British and 'French governments. In mAking the contract for the laying of the new German cable. th~e Commercial Cable company in no way ceded any of its rights or claims against the allied pow-~ ets in oong1eptio nwith the former Ger~ mnanyi cables."
