How the Germans solved the problem by means of a system of wired-wireless telephony is fully explained in the following artiole by Dr. A. Neuberger, Berlin correspondent of Popular Wireless.
As soon as radio-telephony was successfully accomplished; people began to try telephonic communi- cation from traine. They succeed- ed, it is true, to a certain exent, in

Trans-Pacific Radio Test.
On February 5th, the President of the Radio Trans-Pacific Test Committee, Melbourne, Mr. R. K. Love, made the following an nouncement:-" At a special. meeting of this committee, the log of the signals reported to have been received on the night of February 2nd, was carefully ex- amined, and it was decided that
not sufficient evidence of the origin of the signals was pro duced to justify this committee recognising the event as a world's record in amateur wireless redop. tion. It is not doubted that the signals were received from Ameri- on, but it will be necessary for absolute proof to be produced before this committee will re cognise the event as accomplish- ed. However, the wave length of the signals in question was some.. where in the neighbourhood of 1,050 metree, which, in itself, would debar the event from being recognised by this Committee as
world's record under our pro- ject. Our tests are to take place, commenting on May 1st, on a wave length of about 200 metres, and all registered participants will be advised of further parti- culars later."
