The great prob'em to radio-tele-phony at first was the question of suffli lent cne?gy control. It was bccmetry to develop transmitting atatlons capable of generating hlgh freqnency currents and radiating them so that the currents Induced In the receiving apparatns when recti fled would cause no disturbing noise to

the telephone receiver,

sary also to find the means by which the amplitude of the high frequency currents could be controlled and modulated by the voice so that .be amplitude of radiated wave* followed cloaely every variation In the voice.

It would appear now that these difficulties were being overcome for. according to reports from the battlefield* of France, the wireless telephone Is proving a mighty valuable asset to the maneuvers of modern warfare. despite all the gunfire and tho disturbed atmospheric conditions. Going over the top to trench warfare, the old reliable telephone was a handy In commulcatlng to tbe rear the results of the advance.
