GERMAN RADIO STATION CAN
SIGNAL RAIDERS ON EVERY SEA
Letter From Nephew ot
George Sexton Tells
About Turmoil in Aus
tralia and Other News.
Information which shows that
there is a radio station at Eilvese.
near Hamburg, Germany, capable ot
sending messages to every part of the
seven seas, is contained in a letter
just received here by George Sexton,
from his nephew Dean Farran, radio
operator on the S. S. Ventura, of the
Oceanic Steamship company, which
contains information not made public
before.
Young Farran says that on the last
trip of the Ventura from San Fran
cisco to Australia, signals from the
Eilvese station were read without dif
< ticulty. when they were just half way
around the world from Germany,
which is 1,100 miles further than any
j previous signals have been intelli
j gable.
The letter which gives an interest
ing insight into affairs in Australia.
[ as well, says in part:
“Things are in a very poor shape
for visitors in Australia at present,,
due to the war conditions, but 1 im
| agine it would bo a great country in j
! time of peace, it it would ever be
given a chance. The government is j
very unprogressive, and labor condi
tions make anything in the way of
buisenss enterprise almost impossible,
as at present there is the total taxa
tion rate of nearly seventy-five per
cent on all incomes. Labor and capi
tal are the national political issues at
present, with the labor in power.
Union labor is absolutely required,
and while conditions are fine for the;
laboring man, they are impossible;
from the standpoint of investment..
The nature of the country is, in gen-|
oral, verv similar to the United |
States, and. if things adjust them-;
selves later on, will probably be one;

of course, is the greatest it is possible
to cover and still stay on earth, and
is at present some 1,100 miles further
