It there were no wireless telegraphy the time for concentration would be doubled. That is to sy, if a floot, only capable of making ten knote an hour were 1,000 miles off in the Atlantic, it could be brought tone by means of wireless telegraphy in exactly the same time as a feet making twenty knots an hour if the only mean of communicating with that fleet was by the despatch of a twenty-knot despatch boat.

Wireless telegraphy, therefore, practically doubtless the speed by thing one half the distress on the toy the messenger bearing by merly to be traversed the ordere of the Admiralty.
