free to fall into each others arms.

IN THE POSTAL SERVICE.
Experiments With the Telephone Being
Made in England.

According to United States Consul Lefeld
of Frieburg. in a report to the State De-
partment, the British post Office department
is conducting experiments designed to in
clude the telephone in the postal service.
The telegraph department of the general
post Office has established experimental sta
items in half a dozen villages, says Consul
Liefeld. with the special object of ascertain
ing If it is practicable to make village post
offices serve the purpose of public telephone
call offices. If successful the result will be
the removal of one of the disabilities at
taching to life in villages.
For the past six years. although the fact
Is not generally known, 1t has been the
practice to use the telephone, which official
ly Is telegraph instrument, to transmit
small village post offices. The installation
of a telephone wire is cheaper than the
telegraph installation, and the messages can
be sent more expeditiously than by the
needle instrument or the A B G. CODE the
methods generally used in village post Of
fees The messages are written out and
stamped by the sender and are sent over
the wire by the clerk.
In the selected villages 1t is now possible
for any member of the public to ring up
subscriber and use these post Office tele-
phones in the ordinary manner at the ordi-
nary rates. Should the person with whom
communication Is desired not be on the tele-
phone line the sender can telephone his
message to the nearest post Office and have
1t sent on by express messenger. In the
case of long messages the saving in ex-
pense, as compared with sending the same
message at telegraph rates, will be very
considerable. Similarly, the town dweller
will be able to communicate with the vii
lager. The point to be decided Is whether
this new arrangement meets real public
want.
