Southern negroes. more active

Telephones
Held Vital

III the communications section
OF our armed forces were 10 fail TO
function, our entire military effort
would collapse asserted F. l..
Curtiss, director of customer rels-
tons for the Bell Telephone Com.
pany in Michigan in an address to
Rotarians this noon. In an interest.
ing survey of the past, present, and
future OF telephone communication,
Mr.. Curtiss contrasted the present
stage OF advancement with relative
slowness OF earlier times. Two days
were required, for example, TO car.
ry the news Of the victory OF York.
town to Philadelphia. Even in the
first World War. telephone com
munication was at first limited to
distance OF about two-thirds OF
the way across our continent. Dur
ing that war. however, IL became
possible TO talk from New York
to California, and, somewhat uncer-
tainly. between New York and
Paris. The fliers in World War |
had only one-way communication.
In the present war, OF course,
there Is two-way communication
both as between planes, and be-
tween planes and tanks. Mr.. Curtiss
displayed an ingenious transmit
ter, recently developed, which
makes 1t possible for the voice O.:
the pilot to be transmitted without
also including the roar OF guns, mo.
tors and exploding flax.
Mr.. Curtiss contrasted the use OF
telephones in this country with that
abroad by pointing out that there
are more telephones In New York
City alone than in the Japanese En-
pire. He predicted that our leader
ship would continue. and that in the
postwar period much employment
would be provided through the man.
