Establishing “<&4&~
T seems like pretty smooth sailing, when you get a clear
line and have a telephone talk with a party in another
city a thousand miles away.
You see nothing of the wonderful switchboards where
skillful operators handle your call and the lines are “hooked
up” to give your talk the right of way over two thousand
miles of copper wire, guarded every inch of the way from
all kinds of interference. ‘
You scarcely realize that during every mornent of your
thousand-mile telephone talk, telephone apparatus and plant
valued at from $150,000 to $200,000 are at your exclusive
service.
{ In the Bell Telephone system 26,000,000 connections
are made daily, giving clear tracks for the telephone talk of
the nation and requiring over one billion dollars’ worth of
telephone equipment.

western and Gulf railroad bridge over
the Kinchafoone creek was washed
away at midnight Monday night.
about one-hundred and sixty feet of
the bridge from upstream was washed
down against it. This will stop traf

crews whose headquarters are in Al
‘bany are tied up between washouts at
various places on the Central of Geor
gia. Most of them are on the Alabama
extension between Albany and Lock
hart, Aia:
The wor:} washouts in the history
of “this branch have resulted from
the nrevailing floods. The first big
washouts of Albany is at Notch
away creek, where 900 feet of fill
has gone and the water is so high
that the pile driver crew cannot get
to work. There are several similar
washouts between there and Lock
hart, and it will be ten days or two
weeks before trains will get through.

Mr. Aredondon has mnot disclosed
what Lhis instructions are, but from
other sources it has been learned that
the commission plan was favored by
General Carranza and his advisers, and
'would niot be opposed at the state de
!p;n‘imont. A formal aunouncement is
expectel soon.
Whetiier the question submitted to
| the commission will follow the defini
}..'mn of the matters in dispute laid
'down in General Carrena’s latest note
is not kflow& although Secretary Lan
sing’s leply apparently accepted that
definition. The Mexican note said the
reasoasble anxiety cof the ‘United
States over the security of its borders
and the feeling of the de facto 20V
ernment that the continued presence
of Amo>rican troops in Mexico menac
ed friendly relations constituted the
problem to which a sclution must be
found. .. =
! There are no present indications
‘that a commission would go into ques
’tions dependent upon these main is
sues, but not directly involved in a
gettlement. It is pbelieved probable,
ho&vevcr, that the whole subject of in
ternal conditions in Mexico, includ
ing the financial stress there, would
be reviewed to some extent, with the
possibl> result of some more far-reach
ing plan being proposed than one em
‘bracinz border conditions only.
