...same moment that war is proclaimed giant fleets of airplanes, airships and U-boats will be informed by wireless. Merchantmen will be destroyed immediately and a nation unprepared for war will be exterminated within 48 hours. On land and sea new and pernicious gases and explosives, unknown in Germany, will be employed and annihilate the weaker nations within a moment...
...stay on his course. Inventor Jenkins proposed to equip land lighthouses such as those now winking over the Alleghenies with automatic radio transmitters, each unit costing only $250 and manageable by the present lighthouse attendants. Each station would broadcast on a short wavelength measured to light up a wireless light bulb in the cockpit of a passing plane. Darkness, fog, rain, sleet or snow have virtually no effect on radio waves. But distance lessens their strength. If a pilot started straying off his course, the bulb on his dashboard, a "pilot light" indeed, would grow dim. As he steered back...

A scarehead newspaper heard his prophecy that soon ships at sea would call electrically for help, to other ships or shore stations, without having any wired connection. The scarehead editor, well aware of his sheet's reputation, said: "We could not afford to print such a piece of inventive lunacy...
Sometimes he visits his experimental plants in Colorado and on Long Island. Six years ago he said: "The matter of transmitting power by wireless is now so well in hand that I can say I am ready now to transmit 100,000 horsepower by wireless without a loss of more than 5% in transmission. The plant required to transmit this amount will be much smaller than some of the wireless telegraph plants now existing and will cost only $10,000,000, including water development and electrical apparatus. The effect will be the same whether the distance is one mile...
