Warships Talk With Capitals.

New York Times 100 years ago today, November 12, 1912:
French Admiral Uses Relay Vessel to Reach Paris by Wireless.
By Marconi Transatlantic Wireless Telegraph to The New York Times.
    PARIS, Nov. 11.— The Matin correspondent in Constantinople sends the  interesting information that Admiral D'Artige du Fournet had difficulty in getting into touch with the Eiffel tower by means of his wireless installation and had to make use of the cruiser Jules Ferry as a relaying station.
    The British cruiser Weymouth, on the other hand, is daily in direct communication with the Poldhu station, England.
    The electric disturbance, caused by the various warships endeavoring to communicate with their respective Governments at the same time, was so great that an arrangement had to be drawn up, whereby the ship of each nation had a specific hour of the day allotted in which to carry on its wireless telegraphing.
