WIRELESS BADLY
PEKING, April 19. — 8ince the out
break of the Yunnan revolution anil
the invasion of Szechuen province by
the revolutionists, the central govern
ment has fully realized the necessity
for wireless telegraphs. The rebels
have constantly interfered with the
telegraph and telephone lines, and
consequently communication has been
extremely difficult between Peking
and Chengtu andi Chungking, the cen
ters from which the government has
been endeavoring to direct its efforts
against the rebels. Wireless stations
are to he erected immediately at both
Chengtu and Chungking, the minister
of communications having dispatched
ihe director of telegraps to Szechuen
province for the purpose of construct
ing the two wireless stations.
Plans are also under consideration
for the erection of wireless stations
along the great wall northwest of
Peking, where it will be possible to
check the operations of bandits more
effectively if the Peking government
can keep the various detachments of
troops in constant communication.

increased by the shipment of tungsten,
