VALUE OF TELEPHONE
SERVICE GREATLY IN
EXCESS OF IT'S COST

Shortage of telephone facilities in
certain places throughout the United

3. Thayer, OF the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company, in notice
which has just gone out 20 the $500

There can lie no better demonstra-
ton that the value OF telephone serv-
ice 10 the public greatly exceeds its
cost" says Mr.. Thayer in the state
ment. than the continuing and in
creasing applications for exchange
service and the constantly increasing
use of toll and long distance lines.
After year of extraordinary plant
extension undertaken with the expec-
tation that by the end OF this year we
should have ample facilities and in
spite OF the fact that more lcphones
have been added than we expected,
we are confronted with only 4 sill ;htly
diminished shortage Of flci;itie-. In
a period of shortage of housing faci.i-
ties, the flow of population is often in
unexpected directions. City houses
are turned into apartment houses and
large suburban tracts. more or less
remote from city facilities, become
quickly covered with residences.
THE central Offices and the under
ground conduits to furnish service in
such districts must be of perman-
ent character to guarantee continuous
service. and require longer period
OF construction than the houses they
serve. In such districts, and on ac-
count of such districts, there is still a
shortage of facilities although a less
shortage than at the end of 1921.
In other respects. including quail
ity of service, financial operations and
financial results, the progress during
the past year has been gratifying.
Although complete and final earn
ings figures for 1922 are not yet ready
in detail. they will show, as usual.

quirements."
During 1923. $S,662 900 will be

Board of Prison Control, and
NJ. Hampton Magruder. Under the
constitution a county can have two
judges, but not more than one may
be an associate Judge Therefore.
Prince Georges Democrats are figur-
ing on the chief Judge and one as
sociate.
In the same counties the Repub-
licans so far have been talking of but
one candidate, and he is Wilson Ryon.
Over in Calvert it long was conced-
ed that State Senator ]. Frank Par
ran would be candidate for one of
the judgeships, but he is thought to
have handicapped himself greatly by
moving into Prince Georges county.
He practices law chiefly in Calvert
and it may he that he will be that
county's Republican candidate even
though there is talk that Arthur w.

nomination.

off, counsellor of the Embassy upon Sccre-
tarv of State Hughes and Under Secretary
of State Phillips late Saturday afternoon
There seems to be no doubt, however, that
the visit of the German counsellor to the

the French occupation OF the Kuhr, bat
whether or not any suggestions were carried
TO Secretary Hughes by the representatives OF
the German government that the United States
should use its good Offices and make repre-
sensations to France could not he aScertalned
I'm view OF the ofl-rcpcatcd position taken by
this government that the United States would
not Interfere in the Frdnco-German situation
unless assurances were received from the
French government that such tender would
meet with the approval OF France, DIR. DECK
offs visit could accomplish nothing in this
direction.
There was no comment forthcoming today
regarding the reports from Berlin that new
German plan for the settlement OF the repair
atoms question was about to be proposed,
provided the allied governments would agree
in advance to give consideration to the plan.
Adviccs to the State Department do not midi
