New York 1.-THE City of Million
Phones will be New York's title
within a year. At recent hearing,
G. w. Whitmore, valuation engineer
for the telephone company, announced
that with $4,000 telephones now in
use in the city, and with thousands of
applications piled up awaiting the
necessary equipment, the million mark
would easily be reached before the end
of next year. No other city in the
world can compare with us in this re-
gard. And we use our phones more
than most places. In no other few
square miles in the world are so many
phone bells jangling at once for "a
hours in the day.

Europe have a good opportunity tc
observe the effects of long continued
spare diet at this place, which is the
first station on Holland soil after
leaving German territory on the main
route from Berlin to Amsterdam.
Here Germans have the first oppor-

it is plenteous and sustaining and the

accomplished through self-govern-

left power and responsibility, the
