"HELLO, LEVIATHAN!"
'PHONE CALLS TO MID-OCEAN. RUSH FOR LICENSES. . « LONDON, December 20. Shipowners in Germany hope to gain a larger share of the Atlantic passenger trade by fitting their vessels with superwireless broadcasters sufficiently powerful to communicate with Germany ana America throughout the voyages, and. linking up with land lines, enabling telephone subscribers to speak direct to passengers. The conversation will cost from 10 to 20 shillings a minute. America's tests aboard the Leviathan were successful, and it is anticipated that British and American companies will forestall Germany's applications to their Governments for permission to connect with the telephone systems.
