Although there was a strong cross wind blowing and the noise of pass- ing automobiles was almost constant, every word and the enunciation of each svllable could be heard distinct- 1y. To further test the amplifiers, several records were played on a talking machine in a sound-proof Toom, one of the transmitters being placed in front of the player, and the music could be heard on the steps of the Library, a block away. Though there are dry cells, storage batteries, generators, resistance coils, induction coils, switches and other electrical devices almost without num- ber involved in the process of amplifi- cation, the chief instrument is a Vacuum tube, resembling in size and shape an ordinary electric light bulb.

In 1569 a cable was laid from France to the United States. Other “cables were laid from the British Isles, and later direct con- nection was cptablished between Ger- { many and rica. By the beginning of the world war thirteen transat- {lantic cables were in operation be- {tween Europe and the United States. “Once the north Atlantic was bound | by the great metal strands, these fir- reaching tentacles of man's intelli- gence began to stretch out under the waters of all the earth’s oceans.

When we are ready, we shall find a pretext, even if peace is signed, to attack her.” ncentration of troops against the Baltic states and Finland was sug. gested as a preparation for any eventuality, Bessarabia, he said, would serve as a sufficicnt pretext to attack Rumania, and Lithuania and Georgia would serve as depots of tar against Poland and the near east. “Our relations with Germany,” Trotsky continued, “must be main- tained ‘at all costs.
