GAR FY'S VISION OF Marvels Accomplished, the Latest Triumph Being the Cuba to Catalina Connection, Far Beyond Dreams of a Few Years Ago By WILLIS STEELL. HAVE fdith that we shall some day bulid up a great world telephone "system, making necessary to all th nations the use of a common language which will join all the peoples of the earth Into one brotherhood. "The possibilities of the future uses of the telephone are not to be limited; imagination cannot set a boundary to them. In five years a man and his ;wife, one at home and the other a thousand miles away, wrill talk with each other about the little happenings to either precisely as they do now when they face each other at the dinner table. Probably la their waking hours out of each twenty 'four they will be more in touch with each other than they are now when they are. only a few. city blocks apart. "In Are years a subscriber to a news paper phone mayentera booth,; one of a large number, "set up .in various parts of the city, .and raising the recei ver to 'his ear listen to a voice repeating the latest news of city and country and from abroad. This is already an accomplished thing in sonfe European cities, Budapest forgone. But It seems to be capable of vast increase and improvement. "In a few years the transmission of plays and operas by. phone to one's own fireside, where one can listen to either diversion without discomfort or even making any change in one's dress, will' undoubtedlj' be perfected. The principle has been known for long; air that Is - required is a to utilize it" This is the vision of Col. John J. Carty as he , reviewed the notable achievements resulting froni scientific research, inventive genius and engineering skill that have had part in establishing America's supremacy in the art of speech transmission. Such a review and such a prediction were essential corollaries of the latest exhibition of all that has been done in what must seem to many. the fairy realm of telephony, and no man could relate so adequately the vast things that have been done or predict what shall be accomplished in the years to come as the man whose vision falls into the words quoted above."" I dent Harding had telephonic conversation over the new submarine cable with President, Menoeal of Cuba, and members of the President's Cabinet talked with members of the Cuban Cabinet. Secretary of State 'illpshes talked with the Cuban Foreign Secretary and Gen. Pershing with the Cuban Minister of War. y Nor was this all. Greetings were ex-- , changed with picturesque Catalina Island in. the Pacific off Los Anjieles. As plainly as though the several hundred guests were face to face with operators in Havana and Catalina Island they heard Havana speaking to Catalina and Catalina answering. That April afternoon conversation was the longest, in point of distance ever held by phone. Messages passed through 110 mile of cableconnecting Havana and Key West. Florida; thence over the land wires connecting the chief cities of the Atlantic seaboard with New York, Chicago, Omaha, Salt Lake City, Sacramento, San Francisco, Fresno and Los Angeles. These were transmitted by a radio link twenty-nin- e miles in to of total distance The Catalina. length these messages that passed under water, by land wire and by radio was 5,600 miles. And tbe preliminary roll call of oierators in this wide flung area occupied but two minutes, scarcely so long as it sometime takes to get a city connection. It was described in a poetic way by a participator. J. D. Ellsworth, who said : "The vast area of America was rolled up, instantly like a scroll. Distance had been annihilated."' "Given the same telephonic equipment," said Col. Carty, "and these conversations might' just as. easily have been conducted between OLondon, by way of Paris, Constantinople, Bombay and Calcutta. It will not be long before they are so held. "In the hear future a man In London will be able to'cnll up Peking or the remotest city in Catbay. And with what has been shown it is scarce prediction; but almost certainty,' that such telephone conversations U.V P '"' , :? : .
