SIGNAL CORPS MEN MAKE CHANGES IN
 FRENCH LANDSCAPE
Many Associated Press Wire Men Are Among the Hun dreds of Experts
 With Army
By Associated Press

Headquarters American Expedition
 ary Force, France, November 2S.-In
 an army the size of this, scattered
 throughout the length and breadth of
 France, from the seacoast to the Swiss
 border. the problem of communication
 is second only. if not of equal import
 ance. to that of supplies.
 When the American forces came to
 France it was one of the first efforts
 to which the American ingenuity and
 invention was directed and the signal
 corps, under which communications
 falls. met it as have the other organi-
 cations of the American expeditionary force. Existing French telegraph and telephone systems were overb urdened. There was little left for us and Brig. Gen. F Russell. chief signal officer. and his staff of experts tackled the job.
 What they have done in construction is shown in some statistics furnished to the Associated Press. The signal corps has built approximately 176o miles of poles on which it has strung 4175 miles of wire. In addition about 200o miles of American wire has been strung
 on existing systems for our use and it has leased and operates more than 5000
 miles of French wire, Exchange lines to the extent of 12.750 miles have been built and to operate these lines it has 244 telephone offices. 1925 telephone stations and 102 tele- graph offices.
 All through France from the base ports to the front lines occupied by the American forces, throughout our training areas; in fact, nearly every where, the shining copper wires on American crossbar poles, so different from the European system, are a new feature of the landscape, and frequent ly one heard newly arrived American soldiers exclaim, That's American. On main line systems with many wires the French customarily use two poles side by side and the wires are strung on crossbars between and other on single insulators fastened direct to the pole.
 The long distance telegraph and tele- phone system constructed by the sig nal corps is entirely maintained by it's own personnel and in addition some 5000 miles of leased wires are main tained by it.
 All this construction has been made by the signal corps battalions with implements and material from the Unit ed States, with the single exception of poles, most of which were obtained in France In construction, maintenance and operation the standard practices of the United States have been followed and the American expeditionary force
 has been given service equal to the best obtainable in the commercial world and admittedly unrivalled in any army. Its men have followed troops wherever troops went, down front line trenches. over shell swept and machine gun raked

areas to lay and keep their wires so
 that communications might be main- tained. The signal corps has long list of brave dead and brave wounded,
 more honored perhaps, because they could not fight back.
 The telephone service of the corps was
 opened on June 24, 1917, and since then
 there have been handled nearly 1s,oo0,0o0 local calls and more than 100000 long
 distance calls.
 Since the signal corps telegraph sys- tenn began to function on August 19 of
 last year, more than five and one-hah
 million messages have been handled, az
 gregating more than one-third of bill
 lion words
 Manning these wires are many former
 members of the traffic department of
 the Associated Press, graduates of the key and the fastest wires in the world. Among them are Sergt. J. L. Belden. formerly of Dallas, Tex, who has charge of the base signal office at Bordeaux. Among the 50 men under his direction are
 Percy Hall. formerly at St. Louis, and w. k. Ryan of Burlington, Iowa. Sergt Ben Ton, formerly in the New York office of the Associated Press, is in
 charge of the base signal office at Tours and several Associated Press "stars' also are attached to that office. Corpl A. B. Phares of Fort Worth. Texas, is stationed at Bar-le-duc. Other former As sociated Press men scattered along the lines of communication include H. A. Goethe of Duluth, w. c. Doody of h. dianapolis, +. R. Kazmarek of Houston, 0. A. Rasenauer of Detroit. k. E. TUX ton of Michigan and Montana, E. J. Nor ris and Ben Hall of Philadelphia, Frank P. Johnson and J. F.. Jackson of Kansas City H. p. Fisher of Champaign, III. and re- c. Madison of Kansas City.

 frequent reiterations of these and other
 complaints by returning soldiers, John
 R. Mott, general secretary of the war
 work council, has asked that the entire
 administration of the Y. M. c. A. wal
 programme overseas be investigated by
 the inspector general.

 that these complaints should be frankly

New York Tim esq


There are signs that the combined
craftsmanship of the greater part Of
the world now sitting at what is
called a peace conference, but is praC-
tically receivership of several bank
rupt concerns is gong lat the prob
lens raised by the Hungarian reNolu-
ton in a somewhat more hopeful
spirit than THAT in whici' it has met
previous difficulties. Hesitation now
would be disastrous, and panic would
be no less disa strous. We hesitated
in Russia with the result that our
enemies seem more firmly seated
than ever, and our friends have been
ma sstcred, starved to death, or terri
fed into silence. In the last three
months we have come dangerously
near losing our friends elsewhere in
a fruitless effort to convert our en-
emies. That method has been tried
long enough. We have friends in
Eastern Europe, friends who are in
a difficult situation. We shall not
save them by trying to buy off thcir
enemies and ours.
Our four friends who are immedi-
ately exposed to the new danger are
Poland Czecho -Slovakia, Rumania,
and Jugo -Slava. All of them need
military support, munitions. and food;
their peoples need to be assured that
their vital national interests, terri
torial and economic, are not going
to be sacrificed in an attempt to
cOnciliatc those who have been our
enemies and are our enemies still.
We have been blamed for not feed
ing Hungary. Just as we have been
blamed for not feeding Germany.
But we have not fed the Poles, the
Czech -'SlovaNs the Runlanians, or
the Jugo-Slavs any better than we
have fed the Germans and Magyars.
Some of the difficulties in the way OF
supplying these hungry peoples have
just been removed, or are about to
be removed: some new obstacles
have just been removed or arc about
to be rem owed; some new obstacles
have been created by the Hungarian
affair. Such food as we have for
Easter Europe ought to be sent first
of all to these four peoples, who are
our frinds, an who are at present
our military Outposts against the Red
armies in Russia and the possible
revival Of German military power
