"We know what you've been doing," was the message the detectives took to
the enemies of conscription. "We've come to tell you that this is the last warn
ing. Cut out this agitation against tomorrow's registration, or you'll be ar

STATE TROOP UNITS
WILL NOT BE SPLIT
Army Chiefs Deny Four
"Pennsylvania Regiments to
Go to France First
NO SHIFTS IN PLANS
By a Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON. June 4.
Unqualified denials of the report coming
from Philadelphia today that four Penn
sylvania regiments had been selected from
among those In the State to go to France
before the rest of the State troops was
made here today by Hrlgadler General Wil
liam A. Mann, chief of the division of mili
tia affairs, nnd Brigadier General Henry P.
McCain, adjutant general of the United
States army. The War Department has no
intention of sending the First. Thlid, Thir
teenth nnd Eighteenth Infantry Regiments
to Kurope ahead of the others because they
are already in the Federal service.
"We Intend to stick to our plans not to
break up divisions." said General Mann to
day "That means that all of the Penn
sylvania troop will go together. The en
tire country has been divided into division1
and all our plans hae been word out
along that line If we should take Indi
vidual regiments from the divisions ull our
plans would be shifted."
General Mann said today that for two
weeks after the national guardsmen aie
mustered Into the Federal service In July
they will be quartered In their armories, not
sent to the State mobilization camps, as
originally Intended. The Idea In keeping
them in their armories Is that It will facili
tate recruiting the companies to full war
strength, beoause the troops can parade in
the cities and town and do active tecrult
Ing work. Furthermore, the cantonments
will not be ready to receive them then, and

Great Italian Inventor De
clares Its Worth Proved
in Great War
HERE WITH COMMISSION
Points Out Vast Uses in Artil
lery Operations and In
fantry Movement
Bu a Staff Correpot.dtnl
WASHINGTON, June 4.
GURllelmo Marconi, senator In tho Itallam
Parliament, captain In tho Italian navy, an
Inventor-of tho wireless, today save his
first Interview since arrlvintr In the Unlt
.States with tho Boyal Italian Mission.
Naturally he talked about wireless. Its Im
portance In the present war and lis future.
He Is not one of .those ready-to-be-lnter-vlewed
men who pour out their thoughts
fluently. It took much persuading to make ,
him talk nt all. I asked him nrst what
ho thouRht the Greatest single accomplish
ment of tho wireless had been In the present
war. Ho said instantly:
Its uic by aeroplanes. The wireless
has reolutlonlzed artillery action. Here
tofore the gunner did not know whether
his shot landed accurately or not. Guns
nro frequently placed In such a way that
tho hills Intenenlng cut off direct obser
vatlon. Hut nowadays a big gun might
be 1 ted on low ground and actually
Hhoot ., nn elevation to low ground
on the ther side and be sure of Its aim
and range. For th'o wireless constitutes
the eyes ;f tho gun. Aviators remain In
the air above tho poslt!6n that Is at
tacked. They watch each shot. As It
falls they report back by wireless
whether it Is too far or too short. In
less than a minute after the shell has
burst, the commanding officer of the
artillery battery at tho point of orgln
has a report of the shot fired by each of
his guns.
AID TO INFANTItY
"Do the wireless Instruments work well
from aeroplanes?" Marconi was asked.
"Ves, very well. The radius Is short and
communication Is perfect."
"What has been tho experience of In
fantry forces with the wireless?"
"Tho wireless has been Invaluable to the
Infantry," said tho inventor, enthusias
tically. "Thuusands and thousands of
Held station-) arc set up along a battle
front. When a force gets Into a tight
position nnd needs help, It can easily call
for re-cnforcementH. On the extended
fronts, each unit can keep In close touch
with the other nowadays by wireless.
Think how uninformed one part of an army
used- to be witlr Its Harder thin or the ile
IaH that couriers meant and you have
some Idea of how the wireless has revolu
tionized Infantry warfare."
The inventor talks perfect English, slanr
and all. His long residence in England
accounts for that. He Is slender, youthful
looking, rnthcr Kngllsh In appearance, too.
1 sat with him In the parlor of the Letter
residence whero the Italian MIsBlon Is
quartered. Slgnor Marconi had Just re
covered from a week'H spell of Indigestion
and looked a trifle pale. But his eyes
beamed ns he talked about the wireless.
USE HV SUBMARINE
"What can tho wireless do for the sub
marine nnd against It?" I asked him.
"The submarlno couldn't really be effec
tive," he said, "without the wireless. It
must communicate with a base to get or
ders or to learn of the routes taken by
hhlps that It Is f-ceklng."
"Can a submarine use its wireless while
submerged?"
"No, It must come to the surface to
catch the air waves or at least stick Its
periscope sufficiently above water to pro
ject the antennae. Of course, this Is dan
gerous for the submarine, because the mo
ment It begins to use Us wireless torpedot
bont destroyers can hear It and they now
can detect tho exact location of a subma
rine that way."
"Wc hear n great deal In this country
about 'Jamming' wireless and otherwise In
terfering with messages, particularly If
your own wireless is more powerful than
tho enemy's Is that a practice In the air?"
"No, there Is really not very much of lt
