That is acti\itydeveloped to its highest point. To furnish facilities for the transmission of this enormous, incomprehensible mass of messages is a gigantic undertaking. THE BELL SYSTEM is meeting its responsibili­ ties. There are delays but they are negligible when compared with the volume of the business. The public is helping; the people realize tlie pressure that the Telephone Companies are under. NOT LONG AGO, at a big Army Post, an event of great interest, long looked for, transpired and the soldier men wanted to get word home as quickly a* possible. A rush was made for every available telephone inside and outside the post. Result, calLs piled up to an unheard-of-number in the exchange serving the territory. There were delays, to be sure, but none of any great length, and finally m were cleared up. , » A NOTICEABLE AND GRATIFYING FEA­ TURE of the rush was the uniform good nature and patience of the soldiers. ^ This not only made^the work of attending to tlw?ir wants casm and pfew" anter, but it made it quicker.
