TROOPS NOW
AT THE FRONT
Such is Information Giver,
to War Council by
General March.

Washington, July 6.-American
troops actually on the fighting lines in
Europe about July l numbered 251,-
900. according to Information given
today by General March, chief of
staff. and other members Of the war
council at their weekly conference
with members Of the senate military
committee.
This was the high water mark for
the United States in its front line par
ticipation, the senators were told, but
Of the million-odd Americans now
overseas or en- route, a substantial
portion, it was stated, soon will be
trained enough to insure a steady in
crease. 4+
Shipments Of American troops are
expected during the next few months
to be somewhat less than during the
recent three month period. Among
the reasons given were the doubt OF
ability to retain bottoms recently Sc
cured from the allies. and that large
part Of the troops given preliminary
seasoning in this country already
have been sent over.

General Foch probably will con-

PORTABLE PHONE FOR WOODS
How Forest Ranger Can "cut In" Any
where on Long Lines.

A forest officer of Missoula, Mont,
has invented very ingenious portable
telephone, weighing only two and
half pounds and so practical that 1t
has been adopted by the government
and is part Of the regular equipment
of patrol in the national forests this
season.
1t is said that a field man equipped
with this telephone, a few yards of
light emergency wire and short piece
of heavy wire to make the ground con-
nectiOn can "cut in" anywhere along
the more than 10000 miles of forest
service telephone lines and get in touch
with the headquarters of supervisor
or district ranger. To talk, one end OF
the emergency wire is thrown over the
telephone line, the two ends are con-
nected to the portable instrument, and
the instrument is connected to the
ground wire, the end of which must be
thrust into the damp earth or in water.
Contact with the line wire is made
possible by removal Of the insulation
from q few inches of the emergency
wire.
The instrument, writes e. L, G., in
st. Nicholas, does not ring the bell OF
the receiving telephone, but instead
causes screeching sound from
small megaphone-shaped apparatus de-
scriptively known as "howler." This
instrument is installed at the ranger
station telephone and is said to give
effective notice that someone is on the
wire. The transmission is equal to
any standard wall telephone, conversa-
tions having held with it for distance
Of 1000 miles.

HnW OCEAN CABLE DIFF
LIN w FERS FROM TEIE-

HOW OCEAN CABLE DIFF
AO w FERS FROM TELE-
GRAPH L1NE.-Although an
ocean cable Is in fact telegraph
line, it is so differently construct
ed that the rules for working
land lines are almost entirely dis
similar. With the first long cables,
great difficulties were encounter
ed in sending through them a
current of electricity of sufficient
power to record the messages
rapidly. The methods for over
coming these difficulties, and in
use at present, are described as
follows:
Keys which, when depressed,
transmit positive and negative
currents, are employed at the
sending station in connection
with the regulation battery. The
current of the battery does not
pass directly into the cable, but
into a condenser, which passes
it into the submarine line.
This greatly increases the
force of the current used and
serves to cut off interfering
ground currents.
The instrument first employed
in receiving cablegrams was E
rejecting galvanometer. Upon
the magnet of this instrument is
carried a small curved mirror.
A lamp is placed before the mir
rOr and behind a screen in which
there is a vertical slit. Flashes
of light moving across this slit
as the needles moved from left
to right, indicated to the trained
eyes of the operator the letters
in the message being trans
mitted.
But this method of recording
messages was found to tax the
eyesight of the operator severe
ly, a few years work often rem
dering them almost, if not total
ly blind. Recognizing the fact
that there must be something
wrong with such a system, in
ventors set about repairing the
defect, which resulted in perfect
ing the syphon galvanometer,
which has all but superseded all
other receiving devices.
