 The increases in the continents other than Europe were larger than for Europe South America, 72.4 per cent; Asia, 61.3 per cent Africa, 57.o per cent; Oceania, 73.0 per cent Ma turally all increases should be cor1 sidered in the light of the situation as 1t existed in 1914, since in general the countries which were then most backward in regard to telephone development would normally be those in which, the greatest relative in-

Figures Based on Comparison
 With Rest of World

A compilation, Telephone and Tele- graph Statistics of the World, January l, 1921" has recently beer published and is the first of its kind since Janu- ary l, 1914.
 The compilation shows that the United States continues to occupy the commanding position in the telephone world. In 1914, the United States had 9,542,017 out of a world total of 14,r SSs.550 telephones, or 64.09%; in 1921, the United States had 13,329,379 out of 20,S50,550 telephones, or 6S.- 92M. The increase in telephones in the United States during the seven year period was 39.7R, the average for the world being 40.0N. This in- crease in the United States was at tained in spite of the fact that in 1914 the United States had by far. the best development in the world. In abso- Iute numbers, the increase in the United States is about 3,S00,000 tele- phones per 100 population, a stage of total number of telephones H,013.- O00) in use in all Europe on January l, 1914.
 In point of telephone development, inc United States leads all countries with 124 telephones per 100 popula- ton on January 1, 1921. The coun- tries next in rank are Canada, with 9.s telephones per 100 population. and Denmark with TT; these are countries in which private operation of tele.. phones predominates. Germany has only 30 telephones per 100 popula- ton, Great. Britain 2.1 and France 1.2. Europe, as whole. has only 1.2 tele- phones per 100 population, stagt Of development. reached in the United States as early as 1900.
 Gain In All Countries
 With very few exceptions, all coun- tries show substantial increases in the number of telephones from 1914 to 1921. many increases being over loo per cent. AZ might be expected Europe shows the smallest per cent increase, 31.9. Austria and Hungary show absolute losses, due to terri toriaI readjustment; Belgium shows slight loss, due probably to the German occupation. There was no doubt also loss in Russia, though accurate data were unobtainable. In France, Great Britain and Italy tele- phone growth was practically halted during the war, but substantial in creases were recorded in the years

Although this is $30,000 less than the sum hoped for by the com mission, it is believed that the wig orous present final weeks campaign will result in at least equalling the $80,047 total which was raised last year.
