TELEPHONE IN War.

While the Japanese are greatly skilled
in the visual system of communication
the time-honored wigwag and hello
graph-yet in the present conflict they
have clearly demonstrated the supe-
riority of the telephone and the tele-
graph as a means of transmitting in
formation from point to point. Unlike
the heliograph and flag systems, the
electrical means of communication
operates irrespective of weather, dis
tance and typographical conditions. 1t
has the further advantage of being alb
solutely and entirely concealed from
the enemy. 1t is shrouded in mystery,
and there is no chance for the enemy
to gain an advantage by reading sig
nails, as has often happened in the past.
The character of the country in which
operations are being conducted has no
effect upon present military maneuvers.
Where bullock carts cannot penetrate
the Japanese have discovered that it is
very easy to transport wire by having
men carry it coiled upon their should
ers. These men advance the line at
rate of three miles or more an hour.
The telephones are constructed Of parts
similar to those of commercial instru-
ments. but are housed in boxes, which
make them more easily portable.-From
