This latter effort was made for the reason that , while many of the military teleg raphers diet most valiant service during the rebellion , there Is no official record of their work. Most of them were volunteers , \rerfl nerer mustered in or out of the sen-Ice. This natter has been , urged by the society for a number of years and a bill has passed the lower house ofconzress recognizing the services of the members of the society and ran king them. Closely allied to this society is the Old- Time telegraphers' association , composed of operators who were In active work at their calling prior to 1WJ7. This association has many of tlio members of the military Uue- grapbers society. At the coming meeting the constitution of this ns ? eintion will probablj bo changed to admit all operators who have been twenty- one years in active service. Mr. L. H.
