TELEPHONE SYSTEM
STANDS HARD TEST

Atlanta, Ca, Dec.11-In no
department of modern bust
ness and social life have the eff
fects of the war been felt
more heavily than telephone
service, and yet in spite of the
enormous demands laid upon
the Bell System by the loca-
ton Of so many training camps
in the southern states the pub
lie is hardly aware Of any diff
ference in the ordinarf run Of
telephone calls.
The calling rate of south
ern cities has always been the
highest in the country and
since the war it has increased
very heavily. The equipment
Of training camps with tele-
phone exchanges and trunk
lines connecting with the out
side world has absorbed ire
mendous quantity Of material
and apparatus. Copper and
steel and rubber and other ma
terials which 90 into the max
ing of telephone system have
been consumed by the war and
are hard to buy at any price
In addition to these factors of
service hundreds Of the tele-
phone employees have gone in
to the service, and others have
talren other employment
For these reasons, telephone

in effect in a number Of Euro
pean countries where the rail
roads are owned and operated
~ the government, notably in
France and Germany. In
other countries where the
roads have been taken over for
the period of the war, increas-
ed rates are being proposed as
the only means Of meeting the
heavy deficits caused by in
creased cost Of operation.

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 11-That
The petition OF American rail

a number of large Atlanta
shippers who will contribute

Young hyson teas and every sort of
China teas have advanced 100 per
cent. This advance is due, 40 per
cent of it and more, to the advance in
the cost of silver. The balance is due
to the advanced cost of labor, to an
extent, but principally to the enor-
UcuS advance in freight charges.
The prices on these teas necessarily
will have to be practically double what
they were last year at Wholesale, and
a heavy advance will have to be made
in retail prices. Even at that, teas
are not being shipped promptly, as

Correspondence of Associated Press
The Hague, Netherlands, Aug. 25.-
The potato riots at Amsterdam and
Rotterdam this month have given the
Dutch government one Of the most
severe jolts it has experienced.
The trouble began with request
on the part Of Germany that the ex-
port of new potatoes should be per-
mitted Immediately they began to
reach the market. AS it was backed
up by the intimation that only thus
could be obviated reduction of the
ration of German coal of 350,O0O tons
a month, on which the country and its
industries so vitality depend, the Min
lister of Agriculture, F. E. Posthuma,
gave way.
The standing agreement provided
that 10000 tons Of potatoes must be
delivered to great Britain before any
further export to Germany, and as
the British authorities insisted on the
strict fulfilment of this obligation the
result was that the home, for two
Or three weeks preceding the arrival
Of the new crop in any quantity, was
bereft Of its supplies of the old and
was practically bare.
Finding themselves, suddenly de-
prived of such a conspicuous item in
their daily menu, mobs of indignant
housewives at Amsterdam raided any
boats of wagons containing potatoes
they could get at, and apparently
managed to plunder a certain amount
destined for Great Britain, though
they neither knew nor cared where
the food was bound. Indeed, ther.
was suggestion whatever of the riot.

ports to Germany a little while before
the British supply had actually left
the country, and London apparently
has made its displeasure unpleasantly
plain to the Netherlands government
The market is now flooded with po
tatoes of the new crop, which, besides
supplying home needs is expected tc
