"These plans are, briefly: The use Of
both verbal and printed propaganda to

with his customary foresight, saw Tx
possibilities of the Argentine republic
He obtained from the government q
concession near Cordoba, built an elec
trio power station there, purchased a
horse. car line in Buenos Aires, con.
verted it into trolley line, formed a
company and equipped it with the best
cars from the United States, bought
out all competing lines and gave the
city complete modern servic. The
company was composed largley of Brit
ish capitalists, and for some time Mr.
Vail had his headquarters in London,
When he retired from these activities
IN 1904. he returned to Vermont, but
three years later he was again called
upon to enter the telephone field as
president of the American Telephone
and Telegraph company, of which he
had been the first president.
One of the most ambitious projects
which he then planned was a merger of
the Western Union Telegraph company
with the telephone company, and in

came president of both these great cor
porations. He resigned as president of
the Western Union, however, on April
Is, 1914, when the telephone company
disposedof its interests in the Western
Union because of threatened action by
the government against the combina-
tion of these competing utilities.
While others may have marvelled at
the perfection of the great telephone
system, that now connects more than
10000 places in the United States, Mr..
Vail always believed in the greater
ahead. He believed it
would be only a short time before New
\ Nork would be able to carry on wireless
telephone conversation with European
points almost as easily as il may com
municate with San Francisco by land
lines to-day.
Mr.. Vail played as hard as he
worked He was fond of good music,
books and pictures, and the outdoor
life He had one of the finest libraries
n the state of Vermont. The hoase
IN his 3,j00-acre farm at Lyudonville,
although beautiful, was a home rather

le made the practice of bringing up
rom New York some of the finest mu.
icians to give a concert, to which he in
,ted the country people for miles
round. He also established a farm
