Fragmentary OCR shows a World War II era piece noting German appeals to continue fighting. It mentions a wireless plant in Africa and signals from the Nauen tower near Berlin. The text hints at American Army communications reacting to those messages.
A wartime investigation concludes German government used a mass of news and propaganda from the Nauen tower as a coded channel to Africa. After decoding, American experts show the messages were harmless but the German station could not match Yankee amplifiers. The Nauen operator admitted the inferiority and the African station went silent.
A large delegation advocates Philippine independence in the United States, arguing two main points.

They cite orderly governance, Filipino leadership, and wartime contributions by Filipinos including military service.
The article extols American rule in the Philippines, praising non Christian groups like Moros for peace and development. It notes increased schools, roads, and land under cultivation under Filipino and American governance, arguing education progress under U S oversight and a commitment to universal schooling for six years.
