Soon, every man his own wireless station, with the aid of an umbrella, is the promise made yesterday by an officer of the American De Forest Wireless Telegraph Company. He made this announcement while telling some details of Fridays efforts to reach Ireland from America by wireless. By the 'pocket wireless apparatus' any man with a knowledge of the Morse alphabet can telegraph from any point in New York city to Coney Isaland or further, even to ships at sea. Dr. Lee DeForest, the inventor of the system that bears his name is now in Ireland, guest of Lord Armstrong, president of the British branch of the company. While there, Dr. DeForest, has received 500 words from the Manhatten Beach station to a temporaily placed apparatus on top of Lord Armstrong's castle at Dursey Head in Southwest Ireland. Abraham White, president of the American DeForest Wireless Telegraph Compamy , gave out the statement about the 'pocket wireless apparatus' and said there will be an exhibition in a few weeks so everyone can see how easy it is to tell their troubles to someone twenty or more miles away.
