ACROSS THE WORLD
RADIO FROM RUGBY NEW SHIPPING SERVICE INAUGURATED. JOURNALISTS CALL COMRADES. By Telegraph—Per Press Assn. —Copyright. LONDON, Feb. 1. The Rugby wireless service to ships outside the range of smaller stations has been inaugurated at 1/6 per word. Journalists assembled at the Post Office in London sent a message of greeting to their countrymen aboard ships throughout the world, and, standing beside the loud speaker heard Rugby’s morse broadcast almost the same instant as the message was transmitted from London over eighty miles of land lines. It is considered that the message will reach the farthest ships in Australian and New Zealand waters. A steamer in the Dutch East Indies has already acknowledged the message.
