Mr. Washlnpton. who was radio officer for the Atlantic Klpet during the war, and to whom; genius has bppn credited much of the progress In radio made by the navy In the last few years, has been giving considerable attention recently to wireless telephony.

In cooperation with the French Line, he has been assisting in the broadcasting of concerts and conversations by Ku-ropean celebrities while they were on board the steamship Carls in the middle of the ocean, en route to this country. I Some of these mid-ocean concerts were partly spoiled by one of Mr. Washington's own brain-children the radio-compass signals sent out from naval stations as guides to ships during foggy weather. While Mr. Wash ington doewn't claim credit for invent ing i lie rarlto-compass system, he was instrumental in improving It and lu ll onucing it in the navy.

It consists of signals of dols and dashes, flashed at intervals ny shore stations, and from wnicn snips that are doubtful of their position can take as accurate a "heur-ing" as If (he sun were visible "ikiiuis oiieii i.i on the particular vvne-iengin chosen by the concert, liroadoaster, with the result.

As is generally known, there are stalions throughout the Central and Eastern Ma tea which give concerts every evening real merit, in addition to news Hi-ma, mantei reports, weather and ship reports, baseball and football Any one may Install apparatus to receive these concerts without a license. mis rado broadcasting has opened an entirely new field distinct from the old amateur Held. "In this country the amateur is allowed greater privileges than anywhere else in the world. He is allowed to transmit with powers up to one kilowatt, and for this tiansmis-Fion is only required to show a fair working knowledge of the code and pf his apparatus.

No charge is made for this license, and no license Is required for receiving. The result of this broadminded policy on the part of the Government is that there ars thousands of amateur transmitting stations operaiea ny men and hoys. These amateurs relay private messages hack and forth across the United States, covering astonishing distances, and handle their, with despatch American Radio Relay IvPagnc. "They are organized into a society known as the American Radio Relay League, of which Hiram Percy Maxim Is president. Thin organization has done wonders in forwarding the development of amateur radio, and in co-operating with commercial interests in reducing interference.

Recently they have completed a remarkable series of transatlantic tests. The power generally used by commercial companion for transatlantic work is from 100 to 500 kilowatts. These men are limited to 1 kilowatt. Approximately 30 amateur stations transmitted from various parts of the United States to Scotland, one station at Babylon, owned by Harry Collins, having covered this distance with an output of 30 watts, less power than is used by the ordinary incandescent light. "This class of amateurs are tecli-nicists, making their own apparatus largely, and in a sense corresponding to the early amateur photographer who made his own plates, did his own developing and pretty thoroughly understood photography.

"The future of radio communication is extremely hard to predict. We have already transmitted radio telegraph signals Vialf way round the globe, so that It might almost he fa'd that there are no more fields to conquer In this line, with the exception of extreme reliability and high-speed automatic sending. There is still, of course, the mortal enemy of the radio engineer, "static," atmospheric disturbances of more or less unknown origin, which sometimes drown out the signals In the receiver, no matter how strong they are."

The deed bore date Dec. 30, 1 640. A subsequent, deed was given by Indian sachems in 1 703. The relations of the Indians and the white settlers were, with few exceptions, most amicable.

Nowhere on eastern Long Island is associated with its early history such terrible massacres as occurred in other localities, or such bloody reprisals bv the English again the Indians.

New Am sterdam was seized by force by an English fleet. Charles II then violated the terms of the charter that had been granted to Connecticut, in 1662. and which included eastern Long island.

Rut the Dutch found difli-cnlty in forcing the Intrepid men to take the oath of allegiance. They sent the Dutch frigate, Zee-Hound, with their Commissioner on board.

A peaceful landing was made, but none would take the oath.
