TELEPHONE AFFECTED BY WAR.
Manager Gowdey Says Government
Needs Must Be Met First.

In an interview relative to the effect of
the war on telephone business in general,
Manager Gowdey stated:
On account of the unusual conditions
resulting from our war with Germany
telephone companies are confronted not
only with an extremely limited but also
with very irregular source of supplies
as are necessary in extending service.
The practice of anticipating future
growth on the part of the New England
Tel. & Tel Co., and the hexibilty re-
sulting from centralizing its supplies in
the Western Electric company have al
lowed it in spite of these serious embar
easements in other lines of business to
provide for the unprecedented growth
in its business during the past three
years of the war.
Since the entry of the United States
into the war, however, the government
has called upoN the Bell Telephone com
panies very extensively for service of all
kinds and these requirements are bound
to increase in the future. Under such
conditions it is obvious that our plain
duty is to conserve our resources in ev-
cry way possible at least until such
time as we are sure that the govern
ment's needs have been taken care of
and that the irregularities in the sup
ply markets have been overcome so that
telephone companies may be able to OBJ
tain a reasonable amount of supplies and
also obtain them in manner that will
provide for completing such work as may
be started
| think that as a general proposition
our patrons recognize the disturbed con-
dition of the supply market together
with the necessity for every possible
economy, and realize that private bust
ness must be subordinated to govern
ment service. Under the circumstances
am sure that they will cooperate with
us in this patriotic service of conserving
our resources even if it results in Sc
rious inconvenience to them; since all
understand how vital it Is that provis-
ions for the government service take
precedence over everything else.
Such applications for service as are
warranted by conditions are TO be ac-
cepted subject to delay and If it is found
that service cannot be furnished within
the next few months the applicant will
be advised that it is impossible TO &C.
cept the order at this time.

TO the regular inspection of seed, fertil.
izer, feed and creamery glassware car
ried on for the benefit OF Vermont farm
ers.
One-third of the senior class OF the
college of medicine has enlisted in the
naval reserve corps and other members
have taken preliminary steps toward
entering the government service. Plans
are being made for the organization of a
hospital unit in which the college of
medicine will have important part. 1t
is expected that next fall medical ex-
tension course will be arranged whereby
members of the medical faculty will de-
liver in various parts of the state illus
trated lectures on various topics of in
terest connected with health and santa
ton.
Students from the college of engi-
neering are at the Plattsburg camp and
at the engineering training camp at Boil.
voir, Va. In order to meet the needs of
the present day, it is proposed to give
several courses in military engineering
subjects next year. These will include
camp sanitation, road construction as APP
piled to military necessities, railroad re-
building behind the lines, bridge con-
struction, special mechanics as related
to aviation, manufacturing munitions,
automobile and aeroplane engineering,
wireless telegraphy, searchlight work,
field telephone work and electric light
ing.
This summary does not include all the
activities of the university. Some men
nave gone into Red Cross service, Others
have enlisted in the marine corps and
in other forms of military and naval
service. There lis no disposition to evade
the service which the nation has right
to demand in its hour of need and in no
institution is college sentiment more
unanimous in proving the action of this
government in its defense of democracy
than in the University of Vermont.
