The nation’s capital and the various mili tary headquarters and camps are linked with all the great industrial centers by the long distance lines of the Bell Telephone System, which reach 70,000 communities. I Thousands of miles of special telephone wires have been turned over to the govern ment for its exclusive use. % One man in every six from the mainten ance and construction forces of this com pany is now in the telephone signal corps of the army, or in some other branch of the military service. Not only our men have answered their country’s call, but the telephone operators are “doing their bit," too. The faithfu,l young women at the tele phone switchboards realize the tremendous dependence the nation places on rapid com munication in this crisis, and are accepting cheerfully the heavy responsibilities thrust upon them. In spite of the war and what it has meant to this company in tha increased number of telephone messages to handle, the enlistment of so 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 public for telephone service in a remarkably successful way.
