was confronted with a fourteen
hour delay.
Long distance telephone service
such as the French government is
furnishing, despite public criticism
and protest, would not for one mo-
ment be tolerated by the American
people. And France is not the only
country which is hampered by its
telephone talk, as the condition de-
scribed above is more or less preve-
liant in all the countries which are
laboring under a governmental
monopoly of the telephone. Count
less examples of the woeful lack of
long distance lines between foreign
cities and towns and the apparent
incompetence in the handling of the
telephone traffic, have been cited in
the press of this country and of
Europe. Insufficient facilities for
handling even the ordinary traffic,
between foreign cities results in a
delay of one hour on calls between
London and Paris, twenty minutes
hetween London and Brussels.
thirty-six between Berlin and
Paris, and even longer periods on
calls between other of the large
European cities.

which has been compared with the

States for the purpose of pointing
out an unwarranted disparity of

GOVERNMENT
AND PHONES
District Manager Fairehild Tells Of
European Service and Some
Of Its BLESSINGS"
FRENCH CALLS ARE A JOKE

C.. R. Fairchild, district manager
of the Bell Telephone for Lambert
Vile and vicinity, says of the gov
eminent ownership of telephone
lines:
Bearing on the question of Gov
eminent Ownership of the tele-
phone lines, statistics have recently
been submitted to Congress which
nnrport to show that, in comparison
with the charges made in foreign
countries. the rates paid in this
country for toll and long distance
conversations are excessive. A
comparison of the prices of any two
articles to be of real value, how
ever. presupposes that the quality
of the two articles compared is
nearly equal. Nothing could be so
absurd as to compare the price OF
nair of roller skates with the price
of a bicycle. And yet both articles
are means of conveyance. So, too,
is it futile to measure, one against
the other, the costs of two services
which. while similar in name, are so
widely differing in character as the
long distance telephone services OF
American and Europe.
The rates for toll or long distance
+alenhone service in this country
and in Europe can only be properly
comnared after careful consider
alton as to the availability and
rapidityof the means of commun-
ication offered. The slower a tele-
nohe connection is established, the
less is the value of that connection,
for the telephone is essentially a
means of a ready when you want
# communication; otherwise it fails
utterly to fulfill its destined
function.
And what does brief investigation
show us as to the quality of service
furnished under Government Owner
shin? Let us consider France first.
A long distance call, even from
Paris. can be made only after ar
ranging for an appointment. A time
is set for the call. If he is not on
hand. the subscriber loses his place
on the appointment list and must
make new appointment. If he ex-
ceeds his time limit, the commun-
cation is cut off while he is still

to make an important toll call, re-

WELLS MADE A

Bordentown Attorney Talked En-
tertainingly at Sunday After
noon League Meeting.
W. E. BLACKMAN NEXT SUNDAY

The Meeting of Men for Men, held
in St. Andrews Hall Sunday after
noon, was addressed by Harold B.
Wells, a Bordentown attorney. who
spoke on First Things First" He
said, in substance, that many people
do the things of lesser Importance
in life first, rather than do the
greater.
He was well received, and deliver
ed many epigrammic remarks that
were especially appropriate.
He said that Lambertville people
do not need to seek Trenton, Phil
adelphia, or some other place in
which to find the pearls of happi-
ness, but that they might find them
right here in this city.
He said that if the student in the
Lambertville public schools devoted
no more time to the study of geog-
raphy than is devoted each year to
the study of religious subjects in the
Sunday Schools, it would take forty
odd years to complete the study of
one division.
The hall was well filled and Mr..
Wells was pronounced one of the
most entertaining and effective
speakers heard here in some time.
Van Sewers orchestra furnished
the music, and Chairman Charles NJ.
Dilts had the audience whistle the
choruses of some of the songs.
Counsellor William E. Blackman,
of the Mercer County Bar, will
speak at the Meeting of Men for
Men, to be held by the Sunday
Afternoon League, in St. Andrews
Hall, next Sunday from i to 5
o'clock.
His subject will be "A Lawyers

pairing to distribute to men through
out the city, special card forms of
invitation within the next week.

How Red Cross Seal
Money Must Be Spent

For the benefit of the numerous or
ganizations who helped to sell nearly
as 900 900 Rred Cross Seals last year,
and for the general public, the Amerl-
can Red Cross and The National Asso-
citation for the Study and prevention
of tuberculosis have framed de1nl-
tion of anti-tuberculosis work showing
how the proceeds from these holiday
stickers are to be used. The deflnl-
ton limits the expenditure of money
only for the year ending April 80, 1915.
The definition was framed at re-
cent meeting of the National Associa-
tion for the Study and Prevention OF
Tuberculosis and states that the term
"anti-tuberculosis work" as it relates
| to the expenditure of Red Cross Seal
money shall include the following
activities:
| The construction of hospitals or
1 sanatoria for the case of the tubercu-
lous. y

All, right there is the fly in the
operators buttermilk. The editors DO
not want the operators drivel. They

They know that it is untruthful; that
