This work is being done by the army

Important work is also being done
with view to perfecting the cable, tele

the mainland Of the United States and
Alaskan points. All Of these lines are to
be duplicated, or doubled, in order 10

The government now owns S,956 miles
of land cable and wireless systems in

under the control Of the army Signal
Corps. The military cable and telegraph
