Following a number of experiments, General Squier said, he discovered that with the intensive amplifiers' now in use it was possible to receive messagas rrom all the principal European stations simply by laying a small wire netting on the ground beneath a tree and con necting an insulated 'wire to a nail driven into the tree well within the out line of the treetop. ; "It was soon found," General Squier added, "that a tree antennae-could be used efficiently as a multiple receiving set over widely different wave. lengths, receiving either from separate terminals at the same or different heights of the tree, or in series from the same term inal." . ? General Squier first started to experi ment' with trees as radios as early as 1604, he stated. He outlined at -length the - results of 1 his experiments in . the hope, he said, that members 'of . the Physical society might "see in them some points of departure for further re search." . . , The discovery.

The president's advisers say that even If Italy actually left the peace conference, the United States would probably con tinue, to give aid in food and money In the name of humanity. 'The Italian " charge ' that President Wilson" interrupted the - negotiations af. a time when they promised a solution of the Flume problem was - denied in olflclal French circles.

President Wilson did not Invite the Italians to confer with him on Thurs day afternoon, i On j the contrary he went-about his usual business, consid ering the Italian situation closed. It is now pointed out in official French circles that if the Italians offi cially Quit the conference the question would come up whether Italy had not violated the pact of Iondon by insisting upon the ownership of Flume, thus re leasing, the French and British. Fur thermore, attention was called to the fact that the allies. In accepting Presi dent Wilson's 14 principles, made reser vations only on freedom of the seas and reparations. Thus France and Great Britain might claim thetr release from the pact of London on that score. JODGlSlOlOlFER II Final Action on Head of New Court, However, Will Not Be Taken Until After.May 29.

It had been intended to send the rec ommendations In to the governor early in May, but an investigation of the pro visions of the act discloses the fact that the names are not to be sent In until after the taking effect of the law, which is May, 1919.
