A Globe-Girdling Wireless System

Secretary Meyer says that unless the United States builds two battle-ships a year, Japan will soon be ahead of us as a naval power, and then it will be difficult to wrest the advantage from her again. He also asks Congress to appropriate $1,000,000 for a "globe-girdling wireless system" by which the department could be in contact at all times with the entire navy. It has not been long since war-ships had to come into port for orders, but now they can be "spoken" anywhere on the high seas.
