CHAIN OF WIRELESS IS
PROPOSED THROUGH
ALASKA TO SIBERIA
Additional details to what were
carried in press dispatches regarding
the plan to substitute the Alaska
cable for wireless stations are con
tained in the following from the
Seattle Times:
Erection of the big wireless stations
at Seattle and Fairbanks would furn
ish the first unit in a new line of com
munication between the United States
and the Orient for which the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce and Commer
cial Club has been campaigning, be
cause of congestion on the present
cable and the delay in receiving and
transmitting messages.
It has been suggested that the most
practicable way to span the space be
tween the United States and Asiatic
shores would be by way of Alaska and
Attu islands far westward from the
mainland.
Frank C. Doig, director of publicity
for the Chamber of Commerce, yes
terday outlined suggestions of Lieu
tenant-Colonel B. O. Lenoir, of the
United States Army Signal Corps who
is stationed at Seattle in charge of
the governments Alaska cable.
Lieutenant Colonel Lenoir was
quoted by Mr. Doig as advocating a
high power radio station at an
Alaskan point, suggesting Valdez and
then another on Attu island, with a
cable from that point on to Yoko
hama. The government proposes to
build a station at Fairbanks, which is
directly north and inland from Valdez,
and it is pointed out that the second
unit could extend from Fairbanks to
Attu island as well as from Valdez.
The army suggested using the pres
ent Alaska cable over the first unit.
Colonel Lenoir believes a cable
should be laid to the Japanese coast,
said Mr. Doig. At Attu island the
messages would be taken from the
radio station and transmitted to Yo
kohama by the projected cable.
By using a cable from Attu island
west, according to Colonel Lenoir, de
lays at relay points would be avoided
to a large extent. He points out that
if ever the entire distance to the
Orient messages were handled ex
clusively by wireless stations consid
erable delay would occur because of
one station interfering with another
while sending or receiving.
There is some difficulty in sending
and receiving radio messages at the
same station at the same time, ac
cording to the officer, and for this
reason he believes it would be a bet
ter plan to have a cable from Attu
island to Japan and relay the mes
sages by wireless between Attu island
and Alaska. In this way by having
one leg of the route covered by cable
and the next by wireless interference
would be avoided and service ex
pedited.
