265. My attention has been called to the fact that the use of wireless stations in the United States by clerks [Germans?] constitutes an unneutral service.

The British Admiralty informs the naval attaché that a number of German merchant vessels have been diverted from their courses, with the object of evading British war vessels, by wireless instruction from Telefunken Company’s station, Sayville, in anticipation of war with this country, and hopes that some means may be found to prevent this if England goes to war.
