PRESIDENT Vlll HAS
MPREREMS|vE PLAN
Declares For Unihcd System and Sng-
gcsts Legislation to Make
II Possible ---'------~--

WASHINGTON, Dec, "a compre-
hensfye scheme for q unified tele-
phone telegraph and cable system in
the United States has been presented
to the postmaster general by Theo-
deFe y. Vail. president of the Amer
lean Telephone and Telegraph com
pany. In letter to Mr.. Burleson CIV
en- out by him today Mr.. vait de-
clares for unified system and sus-
gests legislation to make 1t possible.
Mr.. Vail would have comprehen-
siye operating organization under one
experienced executive head. subject to
the postmaster general.
Three divisions under this head are
proposed: Telephone service. Tele-
graph service and maintenance and
manipulation of wires of the SYSTEM
each to be under the control of an
experienced operating head
Further details of the organization
Mr. Vail does not see necessary TO
suggest at this time. He says that un-
der it every experienced man in the
combined services could be employed
to the limit of his capacity.
"All The operations under this plan
could he SO correlated" Mr.. Vail says
and co-ordinated as TO bring about
very considera BILE increase in eff
. cheney and much economy without
doing any thing disturbing to the ac>
tnal property or which could not he
done nj the end OF the period Your
operating organization would at once
plan things which would work to-
wards that end desired and which
would not necessitatc any destructive
undoing a the end or government
control.
Mr.. Vail also suggests combination
OF the cables so as to distribute the
load. He also advocat ties extensions OF
the cables particularly to South Amer
lea and the establishments OF a cable
manufacturing industry in this coun-
try
Mr.. Vail says that German CONNER
ciai agents are already seeking to re-
establish prewar conditions in South
America and urges the extension Of
cable communication to assist Amer
lean exporters.

MEMBERS OF JUNIOR RED
CROSS TO DO RECON-
STRUCTION WORK

Reconstruction work for the
government will be included in
activities of members Of the Red
Cross Junior auxiliaries through
out the northern division, which
will be organized at the opening
of school this month, according to
Miss Helen Harrison Of Minneap-
oils, divisional director of the
Junior membership work.
Miss Harrison expects as many
as 100000 boys and girls to
join auxiliaries this fall. The
first two months will be devoted
primarily to organization and re-
organization Of the branches in
the big city schools as well as the
little red country schoolhouses.
The manual training work Of
the boys this year will be Of the
most practical nature-the filling
of a government request fo1

splints, crutches, peg legs, beside
tables, surgical and medical cas-
es, and various kinds Of chests.
The first allotment of these artic-
les is to be filled by November Is,
said Miss Harrison.
The little girls will continue
with their Red Cross sewing very
much along the same line as last
year, except that now they will do
no Red Cross work only on defin-
ite allotments received from the
division headquarters.
Friday afternoons will probably
be devoted to the sewing in the
rural schools suggested Miss Har-
rison, but in the cities there will
be no regular Red Cross periods

PROTECT YOUR PLEDGE
AS YOUR INSURANCE

The pledge to buy war savings
stamps should be held by the one
making it as a sacred obligation
to the brave men in the American
army who are pledging life itself
that liberty shall remain the her
itage Of not only the American
people, but of all nations striving
for it. The w. S. S. pledge is
promise to all the nations fighting
autocracy that we will do our
part, so far as we are able, to win
the war, and there should be no
yellow-streaked mental reserva-
tion regarding it's redemption.
The great hope of our country
lies in the vision Of the American
people to look forward to the
purchase of the securities Of their
government with the same enthu-
siasm with which they look tow
ard their own material prosper
ity. The becoming Of a stockhold-
er in ones own government
ought to be proud moment in
anyone's life, and things have
been so arranged that even the
poorest Of people can buy bond
Of some kind, and war savings
stamps are just as much bonds as
Uncle Sans obligations of larger
denomination.
View your war savings pledge
as a life insurance premium to be
paid in installments, for it is just
as vital to you as any life insur-
ance policy can be, for you insure
yourself and your country at the
same time.
