FURNITURE----'PHONE 63-W UNDERTAKING Day and Night Service r.i cen£tr^msime:i What the Bell System Is Doing THE. value of our navv depends largely upon the effi­ciency of Jthe people ' 'back home." Adequate means of communication are a tremen­ dous factor in national defense. In demonstration of its ability to supply almost instant service over the whole country,' the Bell System, a short time before the declar­ ation ky the President of a state of war, arranged a forty- hour mobilization test of its facilities. Communication was established between the Navy Department at Washington and all naval stations ir the United States, including such widely separated points asPuget Sound, Wash.; Pensacola, Flu.; San Diego, Cal., and Nev Orleans, La. Over fifty-three thousand miles of wire and the services of six hundred employes engaged in making the test. An average of thirty seconds was taken to make most of the connections. Later, by wireless telephony, Secretary Daniels talked from 1^'s desk in the Navy Department with the com­ mander of the Battleship New Hampshire, somewhere on the Atlantic. These demonstrations were of importance to every cit­ izen of the country in that they showed the value of the telephone as a means of National defense.
