Denial of German links at Chapultepec wireless station
Mexico City July 26. El Heraldo de Mexico prints a statement by F. Frias director general of national telegraph lines denying charges that the Chapultepec wireless station communicated with Germany during World War I or employed Germans in key roles. He says construction from 1917 to 1919 prevented full operation thus making such communication impossible. He notes only some Germans work in shop annexes making wireless equipment. Mexicans run and operate the station. The Mexican wireless system comprises 23 stations eight coastal and interior stations including Chapultepec serving maritime and government needs, especially when other lines fail, a contingency common in the last decade.
