ignated by tho local committees,
hnd nftor carefully considering

Thousands of tho finest of Ne

In ItG-tlefcnso. Thoso who remain

The Nation's Fighters
Depend on the Telephone
The telephone business was among the
first to be called on for unusual service In
the war.
All over the country the Important rail
road points, the bridges, the big grain ele
vatore, munition factories and water-supply
systemo have been guarded, first by detach
ments of the national guard and now by
private watchmen.
This need Is requiring special telephone
service, and the total amount of telephone
Work to provide It Is enormous.
The call to arms brought to tho Bell Tele
phone System imperative duties and reopon
slbllltles. No nation entered the war with any
where near tho number of skilled telephone
men, or as dependable and comprehensive
telephone service as this country possessed.
More than 6,800 former Bell Telephone
employees are now In some branch of the
military service In Europe, or In training
camps here.

Only the telephone companies could fur
nlsh the skilled telophono men the govern
ment needed in the army signal corps.
When the war came, telephone plants had
to be built or enlarged at all the army posts,
training camps, navy yards and department
headquarters. Similar telophono systems
have had to be installed in the American
training camps, army headquarters, hospl
talc, etc., In Europe.
In addition to the military demands for
telephone service, business activity, acceler
ated and Increased by the war, has required
enormous amounts of telephone service and
equipment.
In spite of the war and what It has meant to this company in the
Increased number of telephone messages to handle, the enlistment of
bo many of our trained men, the shortage of equipment, the scarcity
of labor and the high cost of telephone materials
In spite of all these obstacles, we are meeting the needs of the
publlo for telephone service In a remarkably successful way.
