WIRELESS CLUB MEETS THURSDAY

Lieut. Blakeslee and Capt. Galler to Tell of Radio Service in War.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The Wireless Club will hold an open meeting in the clubroom in the basement of the Union Thursday evening at 8 o'clock. At this meeting Lieutenant Blakeslee, U. S. N., district communication superintendent of the Charlestown Navy Yard, will outline the part played by the radio corps of the Naval Training Reserve in time of war. He will especially urge all men interested in wireless telegraphy to join the Naval Training Reserve at once, as all operators for the proposed patrol boats in case of war will be drawn from this body. An operator seeking such a position after war had begun would have to join the regular navy first. Captain H. G. Galler, United States radio inspector for the New England district, will also speak on the importance of the wireless operator in time of war.

To Co-operate With R. O. T. C.

The club also announces a class in practical wireless telegraphy, to be given in conjunction with the R. O. T. C., which will give men who are interested but with experience an excellent opportunity to learn the code and get an actual working knowledge of the service. This class has the sanction and hearty approval of Captain Cordier. Enrollments in the Corps will be taken at the meeting Thursday night and hours for instruction will be arranged, probably on three evenings a week.
