More Truth

SOMEWHERE AND SOMETIME.

Remarking with raucous and cyni-

That the man who wins out is the
guy with the brains.
Sometime or other Wen know all

Keen, fearless committees will lag
the truth bare,
All over the city the neWsbOys will

But the chap that went south

Somewhere or other an oily con-

Who knows how TO make his ras-
cality pay.
Sometime or other Wen know how
he did it,
The sleuths will disclose the
amount Of his crime,
And show what he grafted-but not
till he's hid IT
And taken a ship for some hap

Economically this scheme will defeat itself
through increasing idleness and slowing up the pro-

After-The-War Problems
Affect Telephone Service

VVIHlLE the nation was under the stress IN
M cident to winning the war, we asked our
subscribers and the public to be patient
with the telephone service and to limit its use as
much as practicable In order that we might handa
the urgent business Of the nation efficiently.
Now that the amistice has been signed and
hostilities have ceased, we are confronted with
problems OF the reconstruction period, which are
equally as serious and which will require time and
patience for solution.
The policy of frankness which we have prac-
ticed prompts us to make it clear that the difficult.
ties under which we are now operating are such
that it will be many months before we can bring
our service back to the standard Of efficiency pre-
vailing prior to the European war.
The abnormal increase IN the volume OF tele-
phone calls due to war activities created need
for greater number Of operators and we have
been diligently building up an enlarged operating
force. When this situation was very well In hand
last fall the Influenza epidemic played havoc with
our forces and our losses from illness and death
are still alarming As result of this combination
of circumstances, the percentage OF new and mex
perienced operators IS large and there is now a
serious shortage although our training schools are
graduating large classes every month.
Although our service has suffered from these
causes the public has been conslderate and we
have been able to handle heavier traffic than
seemed humanity possible and have installed
promptly and operated efficiently the telephone
plants required by the government at army camps
and other similar institutions.
The situation confronting our service is moro
seriou. now than i. was when fighting was In
progress. The public has relaxed from its ten
sion and IS inclined to expect our service to at
once assume its pre-war efficiency. We deem it
our duty to make this frank statement and urge
YOU to continue the conservation Of the service
which proved so helpful during the time of our
nations greatest need.
We are operating the telephone system as
agents for the federal government under the su.
pervison of the Postmaster General, and our loyal
organization is making patriotic effort perfect
the service. Your continued cooperation and
encouragement will be appreciated.
