PARIS, November 10th.

"We will have Transatlantic wireless telephony before we have Transatlantic telephone cable lines," said Mr. C. G. Dubois, President of the Western Electric Company who is here inspecting the Western Electric French factory which manufactures much of the apparatus for the French telephode system.
