WONDERFUL WIRELESS.
STATEMENT BY SIR GODFREY ISAACS.
Received Jan. 20, 1 a.m. London, Jan. 27.
Sir Godfrey Isaacs, interviewed, said that 4000 ships were now equipped with Marconi apparatus, as compared with 1500 before the war, Wireless had greatly decreased the submarine danger. There had been 185 operators drowned owing to being torpedoed. Portable wireless machines on the battlefields saved tens of thousands of lives by giving the commanders vital information. A wireless telephone was now fitted to aeroplanes. Marconi had already telephoned 'JoO miles, and soon would be able to wirolessly telephone across the Atlantic. Signor Marconi, during the war, developed a special wireless, apparatus, by means of which it was possible to follow the movements of enemy airships, aeroplanes and men-of-war whenever they used their wireless.—Aus. and N.Z. Cable Assoc.
