While the limit Of commercial overhead talking
had increased from strictly local to 1000 miles
early as 1898. IL not until 1905 that CONVEX
sation could be had over ong-dstance circuits of
which as much as 20 miles was in underground
cables BY 1906 underground talking distance had
increased to 90 miles BY 1912 il possible
to talk underground from New York to Washing
ton.
II then that the construction Of underground
conduits from Boston to Washington de-
termined upon-not that il expected to get
a through underground talk between those places,
but in of storm blizzard, to utilize inter-
mediate sections in connection with the overhead.
Our persistent study and incessant experimental
ton have produced results more remarkable still
We have perfected cables. apparatus and meth
DDS that have overcome obstacles heretofore
garded insuperable both to long -distance over
head and underground conversation.
Underground conversation is now possible be-
tween Boston and Washington, four times the
length OF the longest European underground line.
This enabled the Bell System in the recent great
storm. so destructive land and sea, to maintain
communication for the public between all the
principal points on the Atlantic seaboard
Telephone communication is established between
New York and Denver, is potentially possible be-
tween all points in the United States. and by 1915
will be an accomplished fact between New York and
San Francisco.
In our use of methods apparatus. we are COM
mitted to system. We own control or
have the right to use inventions necessary to
operate any system recognized or accepted as the
most efficient The Bell System must always
recognize, and in its selection must always be
governed by the necessities of national service
with its complex requirements, which is infinitely
more exacting than local limited service
These achievements represent expenditures
OF money and immense concentration Of effort
which have been justified by results of inmeasur-
able benefit to the public. No local company un-
aided. could bear the financial scientific burden
OF this work Such results are possible only
through centralized general staff avoiding waste
full duplication of effort, working out problems
common to all, for the benefit of all
The pioneers of the Bell System recognized that
telephone service as they it. was in the broad
est sense public utility; that upon them rested
public obligation to give the best possible service
at the most reasonable consistent with risk
investment and the continued Improvement and
maintenance of the property
Without this expenditure of millions and concen
ration of effort the telephone art as it exists could
not have been developed
What we have done in working out these great
Prooiems IN the past should be accepted as guar
antee of what we will do in the future

vEROUN IS VERY IMPORTANT
FRENCH FORTIFIED POSITION A
STRATEGIC POINT.
If Germans Take 1t, as Believed In.
evitable, Great Body of Troops
Will Be Imperiled.

London, Oct. 21.-Verdun appears
to be doomed. The French fortified
position, which is the main support
of the French right wing army and
from which the offensive operations
of the defenders of France have been
carried along the Meuse and in the
direction of Metz, has been under con-
slant bombardment for over hree
weeks and several of the forts in the
outer ring of the city's defenses are
reported in official dispatches from
Berlin to have been reduced.
verdun Outer Redoubts Fall.
Credence is given the German claim
because it has been known from other
sources for the week past that the
outer redoubts which had been bear
ing the brunt of the German shell fire
had been seriously damaged and that
the French commander was contem-
plating their abandonment and with
drawal of the batteries to the inner
, circle where the main resistance upon
which will hang the fate of the strong
hold is to be fought.
Main Attack Begins.
The Berlin report says the Germans
have captured some of the forts
surrounding Verdun," thus opening
the way for an attack on the main
Notifications, preparations for which
are now being made"
A Strategic Point.
With Verdun in his possession and
the guns turned the other way, the
crown prince under their cover might
be able to retrieve his losses along
the Meuse, operating from st. Mihiel
and be in a position to threaten dam
gerously the French right wing army,
and, with sufficient support, might
even turn it.
To the east, along the line from
Verdun to Metz and south of this line,
the French have been conducting ex-
tremely vigorous offensive operations
against the German Notifications.
Once deprived of the support of the
guns at Verdun, these heavy detach-
ments would be placed in perilous
position.
