The official Telephone,

GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS CONNECTED BY UNDER
GROUND WIRES-THE SYSTEM SUCCESS
The departmental underground telephone sys-
TEN, which was described In THE STAR some time
ago, has been so far completed as to permit of a
thorough test of the practicabity and efficiency of
the system, which has proved in every way salts
factory. The circuit now includes the State, War
and Navy departments, Col. ROckwell's Office, the
White House, Treasury department and Capitol.
The Smithsonian Institution will be connected.
and the number OF telephones in the departments
will be increased, and all the different bureaus Will
be eventually included In the system. This tele-
phone line is intended for official use. and officials
In different departments can communicate with
each other without any danger of being inter-
rupted or overheard The telegraph operator in a
department Is supplied with a switch board, which
indicates the call OF any one in that department.
The operator is then Informed through the tele-
phone at his side what connection is wanted and
by transfer OF keys on the switch board it is
made and the caller and called can hold private
conversation The test Of this system has shown
conclusively that the underground cable Is as good
for telephOning telegraphing. The Wartng
cable is the one In use.
