Cooley West McHenry, Illinois What the Bell System Is Doing ABOUT 2,500 practical telephone men have been temporarily released by the Bell System for service as officers and privates for The Signal Corps, and Coast-Defense Reserve. Two thousand employes are members of The National Guard or Naval Militia, or are otherwise under oath to present themselves when called for. About 150 employes have joined the Officers' Training Camps. More man-power may have to be appropriated to the service of our Country.' The Bell System takes great pride in the brav­ ery and loyalty of its employes, whose absence makes strenuous effort necessary, on the part of those who remain behind, in order that the tele­ phone service may be maintained at its high standard of excellence.
