DON'T TELEPHONE
UNLESS IT'S VITAL
Exchange. Crippled by Illness OF
Operators, is Swamped With
Business.

Don't telephone unless you have TO;
Let this be the rule of your office ana
home until the influenza epidemic Is past
and conditions are once again norman.
There's a reason Like all other con-
cerns-like indeed thousands OF homes
the telephone company has been hard hit
bv Influenza. Just because she was
telephone operator and badly needed to
keep a great public utility moving was not
a good enough reason for the epidemic TO
spare her, and so many ot these hers
haven't been spared that the local eA-
change is badly crippled
That's why YOU re being asked not TO
use the telephone unless you have 10. 1T ;
also the reason why YOU are being asked
by.central If YOUR call Is important, where
fore there is no need to get sore and
say rude things into the transmitter.
Notwithstanding that the war activi-
ties have greatly increased the work of the
company. and the epidemic added further
TO the burden, il Is now giving this vastly
increased service, both local and long
distance, with force that has been de-
plcted by 50 operators, who are on the
sick list. or 40 percentum of normal force.
In addition to This handicap both the
chief operator and traffic manager are
absent because of sickness
II is fact, known To all, that even in
normal times there is unnecessary burden
put upon telephone companies by visit
ing on the phone and other trivial and
unnecessary use of the telephone service,
that has been borne with that courteous
patience for which the company has NJ
ways been commended. and IT Is dong 1t
today in face of lis handicapped working
conditions; but when tho patrons and
public in general fully realize Just what
hampered. conditions the company Is
under in these times Of stress and sick
ness. there will be less calls on the service.
The public is always generous when 1t Is
fully cognizant of need, and ever ready to
alleviate and aid and in this seit-sac-
rificing labor Of the local phone company
to answer all calls upon i, the public
will reduce its phone wants to minimum
to only necessary needs.
80, once again, dont telephone unless
y0u have to.

Brazil, now that it has entered

it has become more general even
than in some of the other belligerent
1t is only necessary for a
person to be foreigner and o
stranger in any Brazilian town to
become the object Of suspicious re-
gard by the people and even Of po-
lice surveillance.
Orders have gone out from Rio de
Janeiro for the arrest of large num-
bers of Germans, many Of whom ap-
pear to be innocent business men.
there is no doubt but that
German espionage is well organized
in Southern Brazil. Spies are report
ed to have been especially active in
the State of San Paulo and the gov
eminent has taken rigid measures
for watching all suspects there.
AS soon as the government began
those measures Of precautions, how
ever, large number of rich and
well-known German business men
VINO were under suspicion of being
German government agents, sue
ceeded in escaping into the Argen-
tine Republic with whatever secrets
they may have had.
