Telephone Conditions

While the property has been properly maintained, it is not
the same property which the government took over on August 1,
1918. 1t is not as adequate for it's job or as well manned as it
was. That it is not is in no way the fault of Federal control,
which was eminently fair. It is due to causes for which neither
the government nor the companies are to blame.
A year ago today we were at war. Labor and materials
needed for both telephone operation and construction were
turned to military uses. Some materials were 50 vital to the
carrying on of the war that even the work of providing tele-
phone facilities for the government was retarded, and no part
of them could be spared for commercial telephone purposes.
No less vital was the government need for those skilled to
create, maintain and operate the vast i~ntercommunicaton sys-
TENS necessary in modern warfare and in the conduct of the
vastly increased government services.
Thousands Of telephone men were already at the battle
front. Thousands more were under arms, and still telephone
experts and skilled operators went into the service of the govern
ment and c%ontributory industries by the tens of thousands.
The reserves Of plant and equipment were drawn upon until
they were entirely used up, and the experienced staff was grad
ually depleted. To find others to take the places of those who
had gone was difficult. To train them takes time.
During the year came victory and the armistce; and in
stantly the business world sprang into intense activity. The
demands for telephone service passed all former records.
To replace the exhausted reserves which had been carried
for just such purposes and to replace the skilled forces to meet
this unprecedented emergency there began a rush for constrrc-
ton, for reimbursement, for high pressure repairs, for feverish
extensions. Ali these must be continued with increasing effort.
The return of the property comes in the very midst of this
race between an overpowering demand and an upbuilding of a
system whose growth was held back and whose forces were scat
tered by the vital needs Of war.
Much progress has been made in the upbuilding of this sys-
tenn. but far more is still required to meet the swift growth of
business; and also to give "first aid" to every other business
and every other service struggling against an unprecedented de-
mand.
The prosperity which creates this emergency in service
creates also a scarcity of those desiring employment in the
service.
Under such conditions telephone service generally has not
been and could not be up to the pre-war standard. 1t is beyond
human power to immediately overcome the handicap which the
situation imposes.
There are no people in any public or private endeavor who
are working more trelessly or strenuously for the common good
than those of the telephone companies. Service has always
been given; more of it must be given and it must be improved.
That improvement in some cases will take months. Eventually
service must win the race with demand.

RYAN PARTY OFF
 FOR COAST WORK

MT. and Mrs. w. A. Ryan, G. w. Gamble, Charles H. Hall and Pete Mcdonald left on the train yes terday morning for the end of steel, enroute to Anchorage via the Broad Pass trail. Mr Ryan, who is the personal representative of Secretary Lane, assisted by G. W. Gamble was engaged in inventorying the physical property of the Alaskan Engineering commission on this division and employed quite a staff of clerks to do the work. Of the staff, Messrs Hall and Mcdonald ac- company the party to engage in sim liar work at Anchorage
 A large number of friends were on hand to bid goodbye to MT. and Mrs. Ryan and party and few of them went out on the train as far dS lle SIoSSHlS, IttuIlliS lO IoWIi late at night.
 A stop was made at the track camp for lunch, shortly after which the journey was resumed, the Cross ing being reached about two o'clock. Of the three dog teams engaged to take the Ryan party over the trail, only one met them at the Crossing and consequently a team belonging to the A. E. C. was requisitioned to take the party and some of their supplies as far as the Lignite road house, where they expected to find the two other dog teams.
 The party spent the night at Lig- nite and quite probably took the trail this morning.
 The telephone line south of town is out of commission this morning, so news from the Crossing ana U. yond cannot be obtained.

BELGIAN PRIMATE
GIVES THANKS
TO RED CROSS
Spiritual Hero of the War
Speaks of the Quality"
of American Hearts

Through a pelting rain Cardinal
Mercier, heroic primate of Belgium,
went to national headquarters of the
American Red Cross during his recent
stay in Capital personally to thank
the OF zation for its work in be-
half of the people of his country dur
ing the war.
Willoughby Walling, Vice Chairman
of the Central Committee, acting as
chairman, greeted His Eminence and
presented to him the heads of the va
rious departments. The entire head
quarters staff gathered in the main
hall, and amid a rousing American
greeting the Cardinal, standing before
the service flag that occupies a place
of honor in memory Of the Red Cross
nurses who gave their lives in the
war, was introduced to the assem-
blage.
Responding to the address of wei
come by Mr.. Walling. Cardinal Mer-
cier said:
"Mr. President, the accent of SINGER
ity in your words and the applause Of
the assemblage move me deeply. 1
feel a proper sympathy for your work.
During the sorrowful years among a
people who had much to suffer I I'M
derstood the Importance of your work
what you did for the wounded, not
only for those who were sick on their
beds, but for their families. 1t was a
great satisfaction for the father and
mother to know that those who were
wounded in the war were being cared
for, fraternally and materially. by
you.
Il express to you my deep gratitude.
l express it to you personally, and l
express my gratitude in the nam of
my people to those who are afar,
whom your distinguished Vice Presi-
dent mentioned. I thank you also for
your great work of Red Cross. | know
your membership has grown from
100000 to, l think it is, 5000, 900 or
20, 5000. This is splendid progress
in a splendid movement.
Still. there is one thing which ap-
preciate more than quantity-it is
quality. Quantity is one thing you
have. For the quality of your hearts,
with your charity for mankind-for
all this l offer you my expression of
admiration. And when l shall be back
home, after some time, l shall tell my
people that not only were you doing
during the war, but you are already
