WASHINGTON, Dec. s.-The inn
portance OF the telegraph and tele-
phone as a military adjunct has been
driven home as one OF the principal
lessons OF the European war Con-
gresham ID. j. Lewis, of Maryland. Is
much impressed with what he learns
of the use Of the telephone and tele-
graph IN actual conduct OF the vast
battles which are novelty I'm war
fare; and he finds in such use an ar
gument for government ownership
and operation OF the wire system In
this country.
Mr. Lewis has been getting informa-
ton al first hand from Charles Ed
ward Russell, who was caught In the
maelstrom OF war while on the conti-
nent, and who assisted Brand Whit
lock In caring for American refugees.
Mr. Russell says: "One thing that par
ticularly impre ssed me in the war
zone was the use that all the warning
nations made of the telegraph and
telephone In the army operations the
field telephone was Indispensable.
Every part of the vast battle line, 800
miles long, was kept in touch. ana
operated on coherent basis, mainly
through the wonderful telephone ser
vice. But the fact was just as import
ant that the whole telephone aud tele-
graph system of the country was In
the hands of the government. With.
out public ownership. the thing would
have been utterly impossible. Gener
al Joffre, for instance. was at all
times In communication with the mill
tary establishment and all branches
OF IL in every corner OF the Republic.
He could talk at any moment day or
night with HIS subordinates in Mar
settles or Nice as easily as he could
give an order IN his own headquarters
and he knew that all of the telephone
system and all OF the employees being
part OF the government, he could pro
coed with perfect safety. Sme OF
these facts rather dispose OF tie airy
refinements OF the hired writes that
have been picturing to American
magazine readers the beauties OF pri
yate ownership of public facilities
When war comes these things look
different. II France had been at the
outbreak OF the war. In the position
we are in. that is TO say, with all her
telegraphs and telephones in the hands
OF greedy private monopoly. and all
her railroad communication at the
mercy OF a geng OF railroad speculat
ors, she never could by any possibility
have done the things she has done to
preserve herself She could not have
modified her troops TO begin with

Looked at from a purely reasonable

We can never hope that war VIII

only supplant 1t by making a start
