SPECIAL FORM
OF WIRE USED
FORJHONES
WASHINGTON, May 17 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Official reports on
Signal Corps equipment for the war, 1
made public today, show that one
special form of telephone wire, un
known to a commercial use before the '
war, was being turned out at the rate
of 20,000 miles a month at a cost of
nearly $6,000,000 when the armistice
was signed.
The American telegraph and tele
phone system in France totalled 96,
000 miles when the fighting ended,
this being the semi-permanent instal
lations. When fighting was at its
peak, the corps was approximating
the use of 68,000 miles of output wire
a month in addition, one development
of the war being the necessity for two
wire circuits for front line operations
to prevent the enemy from "listening" i
in on the old style single wire equip- 1
ment. Wire wastage was enormous ^
as it had to be abandoned whenever
an advance was made.
There had been set up in France j
last Novembqr 282 American tele
phone exchanges with 14,956 lines
reaching to 8,959 stations. Even the
telephone instruments used were of
special design, combining both tele- (
piioiuc anu Leiegrapiuc cuuiuiuiiicu
tion and the production of these in
the quantity needed was a problem
in itself.
At the close of hostilities the
• United States had 133 fully equipped
telegraph stations in France, which
were handling a daily average of 43,
845 messages of 60 words each (luring
the last days of the fighting, or within
about 5,000 of the peak load.
An instance of the enormous de
mand that development for field
glasses, lenses for which before the
war largely were obtained from Ger
many, lies in the work of the Bausch
and Lomb Co., of Rochester, N. Y.,
which beginning with a capacity of
1,800 pairs of field glasses a year in <
1914 had reached an output of 3,500
pairs a week in November, 1918 and
was aiming toward an output of 8,500
pairs a week by January, 1919. jSim
ilar expansions of facilities werjjmep
essary in many other plants. The re- ,
quirement of the forces in France for
the six-power artillery glass alone
was approximately 100,000 pairs and
106,000 pairs were shipped from the
United States.
The report devotes considerable ^
space to discussion o£ the progress
made in motion picture photography
during the war. By these means, it is
pointed out, the signal corps has
created “a new kind of history of the
war, a history written entirely in
pictures for future generations to *
scan.”
Carrier pigeons, never before em
ployed extensively in the American
army, were widely used in France.
More than 15,000 were purchased and
trained for that service and the report i
adds that “in actual use on the field
the pigeons delivered more than 96
per cent of the messages entrusted to
them, flying safely through the heav
iest shell and gas barrages.

OHIO LIKELY
TO GO “DRY”
ON MAY 27
COLUMBUS, O., May 17 (by Asso- *
elated Press).—Just what Is going to
happen to the liquor traffic In Ohio
after May 27 when the prohibition
amendment to the state constitution,
adopted last autumn, becomes effec
tive, Is a problem that Is bothering <
state and local officials.
The state faces the situation of
having a dry constitution but no
statutes to enforce It. The general as
sembly enacted enforcement meas
ures but they must run the gauntlet <
of a referendum next November be
fore they can become operative and
should the voters disapprove of them
there will be no particular authority
by which to enforce prohibition, It Is
said. Anti-Saloon league officials say (
they have not given up hope of ob
taining some legislation that will be
effective May 27.
Most of the saloon keepers are
planning to quit business May 27 and
they may have to retire even before
that. The license year of saloonkeep
ers expires May 24. None has ap
plied for renewnJ »f license and the
Lime for making application has
passed.
The Ohio Home Rule Association,
the "wet” organization, is planning
Its campaign to defeat the enforce
ment bills next November. It Iras also
started a referendum on the resolu
tion ratifying the national prohibition
imendment, but this is being resisted
In the courts by the Anti-Saloon
league.
A late arrival from St. Patrick
jreek reports the first cleanup of the
teason on that creek. Bodin & Co.
made a cleanup of their large winter
lump and while the amount of the
lust recovered is not made known it
s stated to be highly satisfactory.
\mong others to report cleanups are
Webber & Co., on Ester creek. They
Inished running the dirt through the •
joxes yesterday morning and the
jleanup is said to be a sizeable one.
Within the next few days the bank
ng of the yellow metal will be a
jommon occurrence.
