When the young physician appeared

To this Moore agreed. Once he was
under the influence OF the drug, the
doctor took out a tiny pair of surgical
pincers. He pressed the jaws of the
instrument to the center of the all

- 81 HIS busy, progressive nation is today at
M H& the dawn of a new era of commercial
M ~ and social development. TLe means by
A9z4M which the human voice, with its slightest
infections and indications of personality,
can be carried across the continent Instantly,
have been provided. Talking by telephone from
New York to San Francisco is now an accom-
pshed fact
The celebration of this latest and greatest
triumph in the art of telephony has just taken
place. Within short time the public will have,
ready for its use, the product of American
brains. American initiative and American scien-
hi4c ana technical skill, transcoutinental tele-
phone service, the equal Of which is not even
approached in all the other nations of the world.
1t is a splendid scientific achievement of the
very highest character. The power that sends
the huroan voice out the telephone is scarcely
greater than that of a breath, yet the means
have been provided by which this tiny, almost
imaginary impulse, made up of as many as 1000
by delicate instrument, conserved over dis
lance of 3,400 miles, and reproduced perfectly
and instantly across the continent The human
voice has been made TO travel as fast as light,
faster than sound unaided by technical apparatus;
indeed, it rivals THOUGHT even, in the swift
ness Of its fight.
The imagination can but feebly grasp much
less attempt to measure, the far-reaching signif-
canoe of such a tremendous accomplishment.
One hundred million people will have for their
daily use system Of communication that knows
no East, no West no North, no South. Dialects,
provineialsms, sectional prejudiees, must event
ually yield to the closer union, the better under

standing, the more intimate comradeship that the
human voice establishes The neighborliness of
a whole nation is advanced by the brushing away
of the physical restraints of centuries.
This contribution TO the future happiness and
prosperity of more closely united people has
not been brought about, however, by the over
coming of few isolated, concrete difficulties.
Its success has depended upon the exercise Of
the highest engineering and technical skill and
the solution found only in the cumulative eff
feet of Improvements great and small, in tele-
phone, tran5mitter, line, cable, switchboard, and
every other piece of apparatus or plant required
in the transmission Of speech.
In this work the experimental and research
department Of the Bell System of which this
Company is part, has been engaged ever since
the telephone became a commercial possibility
less than 40 years ago. With traditions to
follow and no experience to guide, this depart
ment, which is directed by a staff of over
$50 engineers and scientists, including former
professors, post graduate students, scientific in
vestigators-the graduates of 140 universities
has created an entirely new art-the art of tele-
phony, and has given to the people of this coun-
try telephone service that has no equal.
1t has required vast expenditures OF money
and immense concentration Of effort, but these
have been justified by results of immeasurable
benefit to the public. The transcontnental tele-
phone line 34oo miles long, joining the Atlantic
and Pacific, is part of the Bell System of 81 100000
miles of wire connecting 100000 telephone sta
tons, located everywhere throughout the United
States Composing this system the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company and As
sociated CompTstes and connecting companies
giving universal Service to 1oo,0ooooo people

PAN-AMERICAN APPEAL FOR
WARDEO TO MEXICO BY THE
UNITED STATES.

WashingtOn.-Th Pan-American ap-
peal to all elements in Mexico TO cease
fighting and join in a sincere move
ment to restore constitutional govern
ment began to go forward from the
State Department.
The document was dispatched
in English to Mexico City, directed to
the various Latin-American legations,
With the appeal dispatched the
United States government will instl-
tute a friendly and persistent effort to
induce Mexican leaders who thus far
have shown a disposition to oppose
the movement, to sacrifice their per
sonal views in the common Mexican
interest That Gen. Carranza will
maintain the defiance he had indicated
in recent communications to his agen-
cy here on the subject is expected by
the administration, but it is regarded
as probable that many Of his generals
end other adherents can be induced to
Join in a peace convention.
Absolutely no resistance to the plan
is expected from any source other
than from Gen. Carranza, and in some
quarters here the feeling is growing
that even Carranza himself may re-
spond fayorably to the appeal after
he has studied it's friendly tone care
fully and sees that he has been misin-
formed regarding It's purposes.
