AMSTERDAM, July l2.--The military
contributor to the Norddeutsche Alloe-
meme Zettung in discussing Secretary OF
War Bakers receit announcement as to
the number of American soldiers sent
overseas evidently writes from official
inspiration. His arguments are similar
TO those Of Lieut., Gen. Won Ardenne, who
in the Dusseldorf Ndchrfchten last Tues
day asserted that he did not believe the
figures Of American man power and that
numbers do not count. anyhow
I'VE are unable TO verify the accuracy
of Secretary Bakers figures" writes the
Norddeutsche AU1emeine Zcitm0s cor
respondent. However. they are only
intended to throw dust into the eyes OF
the world The large number claimed
for the last three months seems to us
quite impossible IN view OF the shortage
of enemy tonnage" The writer then
presents calculation of his own and
comes to the conclusion "t can't be
done"
Let us assume that Secretary Bakers
figures are correct" he continues. I'VE
need not be alarmed. A nation which
has fought world OF enemies four years
cannot he frightened by the American
bogy We are unimpressed They are
only cannon fodder and not the equals
OF our war proved, unconquerable troops
What is a million Of Americans COM
pared TO the ten million well trained
and equipped Russians who have fallen
out OF the battle line" Where could the
Americans have raised the requisite
number of officers and non-commIssloned
officers so expeditiously?"
The writer then goes on to argue that
what Great Britain failed to do America
cannot accomplish. He asserts that the
American fighting men cannot he prop
eriy equipped because the American war
material manufacturers are swindlers.
Moreover" he says. "our experience
with the American soldiers has not
served to fill US with overmuch respect
for them, although many doubtless are
regulars and comparatively well trained.
We would not he afraid OF 5000. 900 Of
them. They do not know what they are
fighting for
After similar criticisms of the Amer
leans as fighting men the military con-
trbutor arrives at the following conclu-
sion; We do not believe that there Is
large number OF them in the battle
line. and even II 1t were true we will
whip them anyhow"

Handling Long Distance
Telephone Calls

XXIHEN a telephone sub
w scriber makes a long
distance call, the local opera
tor who first answers connects
the calling party with the long
distance switchboard, where
the operator replies, Long
Distance. " She is known as
the recording operator and
writes the details of the call
on a ticket designed especially
for the purpose.
This ticket is despatched
by pneumatic carrier to the
distributing table, to an opera
tor who handles calls for the
city wanted. In the larger
Offices, certain designated op-
orators handle calls to certain
points exclusively.

There are direct lines be-
tween important centers, but
when traffic is heavy II IS not
always possible ;c give The
subscriber direct connection.
In such cases the call has TO
be routed indirectly, some
times passing through one,
two, three, or more cities
that are many miles off the
direct line between the call
ing and the called points.
The policy of the Bell
System is to "get the call
through" by the direct line
if possible, but when nee
