METHODS OF U.S..
FOR TELEPHONES
Have Only One Instrument
To Seventy six People,
Against One To
Seven Here.

French long-distance telephone lines
are now being constructed on Amer
lean principles, says M. Paul Laffont
Under1Secretary of State for Posts
.Telsgraphs and Telephones, in an in
terview recently published in the Pari
edition Of the New York Herald.
NJ Laffont pays high tribute to the
excellence Of American telephone
methods, and admits that In France
there 10 no universal system on Ii
no.delay basis" He attributes the
inferioFity of che French Government
owned telephone system to scarcity
OF funds, pointing out that ut hal
never had sufficient appropriations,
and these were allotted for the period
of the fiscal year"
A financial organization Of the De-
partment of Posts, Telegraphs and
Telephones has, however. been voted
by the Chamber Of Deputies and the
Financial Committee Of the Senate.
NJ. Laifont expresses the opinion that,
under the new arrangement. "the
postal administration will In future
aot on practical business principles"
and that the realisation OF It's develop
ment program will practically remedy
the present deficiencies OF the French
telephone system"
According to the latest available
figures, however, France has only one
telephone for every ~ persons, as
compared with one telephone for every
seven people in the United States.

Nothing Of The Kind Occur red.
Bethesda, Nd. Dec. 10, 1928.

Bethesda, Md, Dec. 10, 1928.
To the Editor of Sentinel, Rockville, Md,
Dear Sir II read in the Washington
Post, OF a recent date, that a mob of about
two hundred persons had attempted to
prevent witness, at a recent trial in
Rockville, from appearing to give his evil
dence.
l have heard rumors of similar mob
action in previous trials before the Mont
gomery county court at Rockville. 1t was
also reported that at the recent trial above
mentioned the verdict was received with
great cheers"
Before writing you, have written to
Judge Robert B. Peter, and his reply about
the situation is; From what can learn
absolutely nothing of the kind occurred
His reply to the statement about the great
cheers is: There was not sound in the
court room at the time. other than the
clerk asking the usual questions"
lnasmuch as the first OF these charges
impugns the free administration of justice
in our county court, and the second holds
our court up to scorn as a disorderly mob.
protest in the name of a highly civil
lized and law-abidins community against
charges which, if true. would degrade the
sense of justice amongst US and tend to
destroy our common liberty. protest
against such CHARGES, as they strike at the
fitness of our honored judge to administer
with dignity and zeal the affairs of our
county court man in whose honor and
ability every citizen of Montgomery county
puts implicit faith.
If these CHARGES are true the papers
which made them ought to substantiate
them. so that great evil may be righted.
Or If, as far as we can find out, that they
are false they ought to be withdrawn with
due apology. We ask this in the interest
of our American civilization and the rights
of an honorable. patriotic community, as
we'll as in justice to all those concerned in
the administration Of the laws amongst us.
Yours sincerely,
JAMES KIRKPATRICK.
