Army signaling deemed superior to foreign powers
Brigadier General James Allen, chief signal officer of the U S Army, returned from the International Conference on Applied Electricity in Marseilles and said no army has a signal system superior to the U S Army. He noted ongoing improvements but stressed the army would buy any better wireless devices rather than develop secret tools, and that wireless telephony could reach six miles in theory though not yet field ready.
