Edtotn r. Hill calculations of a
speakers voice, so that conversation
can be carried on by word-of-mouth
between persons in different rooms,
different streets, or in different towns"
Il believe" he said, "in the future
wires will unite the head offices Of
telephone companies in different cities
and a man in one part of the country
may communicate by word-of-mouth
with another in a distant place."
Telephone conversations may now
be held between about forty leading
countries Of the world, which are
served by 32,500,OOO telephones, which
is approximately 80 per cent of the
total number In the world.
Only recently transoceanic radio tel.
ephone service has crossed the Pacific
to the Hawaiian Islands. The first
conversation was made by Secretary
Of the Interior Ray Lyman Wilbur
from his office In Washington to Gov
ernor Lawrence M. Judd of the islands.
A few days previously Secretary of
State Henry L. Stimson conversed
with the president of Brazil at Rio de
Janeiro, and Assistant Secretary Of
State William R. Castle spoke with
state authorities in Bermuda.
These extensions OF foreign tele-
phone service further emphasize the
prophecy of DR.. Bell. who had the faith
that the telephone would become g
great instrument of service not only
to people within a city or community,
but to the whole world Rerent events
prove that this prophecy is becoming
a true realization more aud more every
year.
