WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION. By Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyright. (Received November 4, 4.45 p.m.) London, November 3. At the Wireless Congress in Berlin the British delegates, while agreeing to the general principle of the interchange of ethergrams, secured the right of every country to exempt certain stations from the obligation of compulsory communications. Britain restricted herself to a reasonable provision for the exchange of messages between ships and. land. A resolution, submitted by the American delegates, making intercommunication between ships and ships compulsory was carried despite Britain's opposition, on the ground that- it was impracticable and also an improper restriction of individual rights ; but Britain carried a resolution making the American motion a separate article in the agreement to which the signatory Powers are not necessarily compelled to adhere. The treaty will operate from July, 1908.
