Pioneer Office The Bell Telephone Links the Fighting Forces and the Great Industries The high development of telephone efficiency in this country gave the United States, when it entered the war, a superiority over all other nations for quick communication. __ The nation's capital and the various military headquarters are linked with all the great industrial centers by the long distance lines of the Bell'Telephone System. Thousands of miles of special telephone wires have been turned over to the government/or its exclusive use. j... Right-of-way is given to government telephone ,calls over all our lines. In its military activities the government has the effective co- operation of the Sell Telephone System, which reaches 70,000 com- munities and extends to every military camp in the United States. One man in every six from the maintenance and construction forces of this company is now in the telephone signal corps of the army, or in some other branch of the military service. t?$ Not only our men have answered their country's call, but the tele- phone opewtors are "doing their bit," too. These faithful young y%J women realize the tremendous dependence the nation places on rapid &$ communication in, this crisis, and are acc^ ting cheerfully the heavy responsibilities thrust upon them. In tplte of the war and what it has meant to this company in thtt increased number of telephone messages to handle, the enlistment of so many of out* 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 th public for telephone service in a remarkably successful way.
