CABLE TELEPHONE DEVELOPMENTS.

WEDNESDAY. APRIL 13. 1921.

London, April 12.. Enormous strides in long-distance wire cable telephony were revealed at Washington yesterday.

Fresident Harding conversed with the President of Cuba after

which a succession of conversations were engaged in between twenty- aix towns, the remotest baing Cuba speaking with Catalina nearly six thousand miles distant. Although the voice was automatically relayed at intermediate stations listeners had not the slightest difficulty in henring.

The organiser of the scheme lays stress on the unimaginable political consequences that are likely to arise from its development for the British Empire, pointing out that the equipment would enable London to keep in direct communication with Cape Town, Calcutta and even Hongkong, Shanghai and Peking via Calcutta.

SENSATIONAL RUMOURS IN LONDON.

London, April 12.

Rumour mongers had a field day yesterday when fantastic stories were circulated like wild fire about heavy British casualties sustained on the Rhineland. It was stated that two train loads of wounded soldiers were injured in the fighting and arrived in London via Dover- and that large consignments of coffins were sent from Waterloo Station. People from far distant centres rang up London newspaper offices who endeavoured to track the origin of the reports by official enquiry and private investigation, Eventually the War Office issued a statement uscribing the myth to Bolshevik attempts to deter re- cruiting for the Defence Force. The War Minister described as sheer nonsense the tale that the defence force was created to suppress a German rising or to collect the German indemnity.

THE COAL STRIKE.

London, April 12.

The coal negotiations entered a delicate stage to-day. The owners and miners each stated their case yesterday. Mr. Lloyd Gdorge to-day heard the parties soparately. No proposal has yet been submitted that is likely to lead to a settlement, but though the position is serious no breakdown of the negotiations is anticipated such as to precipitate a Triple Alliance strike, the threat whereof remains in abeyance.

There was much criticism at the inopportune publication last night of the Triple Alliance manifesto declaring that the sloppage of the railwaymen and transport workers would begin unless an offer was made to the miners which the Triple Alliance was justified in recommending them to accept. The manifesto stated the owners offer fixes the standard at fifty per cent. below the cost of living and accuses the Government, of not being an impartial arbitrator but an active partisan.
