sO-called strategic railways of the Ger

her northern country far more rapidly
than otherwise would have been pos
s.ble. Already the telephone and tele-
graph lines are linked up with the
French official systems and represent
a permanent extension of those facili-
ties.
The telephone has played a wonderful
part in the war. When Canadian bat
tallion made a daylight raid on 400 yards
of German trenches a few days ago,
each company commander in the raid
had a telephone with him as he went
into action, the signal men in charge
unreeling the wires as they pressed for
ward. The instruments were connected
with battalion headquarters back in a
first line English dugout and there was
not a moment during the offensive thar
the contact was not complete. Through
the various telephone links leading from
battalion headquarters to brigade head
quarters, to division headquarters, corps
headquarters. army headquarters, gen
eral Headquarters and thence across the
English channel, it would have been pos
sible, If so desired, for the company
commanders in the thick of actual hand
to-hand fighting to talk direct from a
German trench to the war office in Lon
don.
The trunk telephone lines erected by
the British along the main highways to
the war represent the latest improve
ment of equipment. At some points
there are as many as thirty wires on
a single line of poles. with a second
line of sixteen wires being strung. From
the peaceful, pastoral scenes of nom
