People are talking more in Wash- ugton these days than ever before in the history of the city—or, at least, since records have heen kept of the “talks.” 5 One can't count all the conversa- tions that take place in Washinton, ot course, but there are records showing the number of telephone calls, and these point which way the wind blows. They not only show an in- creasing’ spirit of loquacity in the capital, but <hey indicate that reviv. ing business and optimism have quite a bit to do with it. o This time last year an average of 300,000 telephone calls were belng made in Washington every day. In the last few weeks, the number has been at least 350,000 a day. Begin- ning early last week there was a tremendous increase that still con- tinues. 418,000 Calls November 10. This rise reached its peak on Thurs- day, the day before Armistice day. On ‘that day 418,000 telephone calls were made, which is the largest num- ber in the: history of the telephome company. Not even in the war days, when the company was taxed to the utmost to keep pace with the rush of calls, was that number exceeded. The nearest approach to it then wae 412,000. The Washington conference, the in- flux. of visitors for Armistice day and more_favorable business conditions are the cause of the remarkable in- crease, in the opinion of W. A. Con- git, traffic superintendent of the Ches pany in Washington. seems to be a tendency to use the telephone generally in social affairs, be has noticell. There has been a distinct ascension for several months, until early this month the avarage number of calls a day was 16, per cent higher than last year. Eight per cent of this in- orease can be accounted for by the fact that there are now 93,000 tele- phoné in Washington, compared with 86,000 a year ago. The other § per cent come from the fact that a year ago there were 3.5 calls a day to each telephone, and early this month the average was 3.8. Last Thursday it was about 4.5. = Flood of Calls Continues. On Friday, of course, it fell off b cause the business houses and gov-~ grnment departmenta were closed. But Saturdhy—half holiday, witha former average of 330,000 calls—the number aboard mail tralns running out of the terminal, will make a total force of |seventy-five’ marines guarding the | | WORKABLE LEAGUE CIT mails of the National Capital.

The man on duty during the morn- ing demonstrated that he was “on the job" by accosting Raymond Tal- bert, head of the wholesale stamp di- vision, when he went to inspect the automatic stamp-vending machine in the corridor. Talbert forgot about the marine und rattled a key in the lock of the machine, prepuritory to making an exainination. = He felt a hand on his shoulder, and the marine, demunded: ‘“Here—who are you, and what are you doing?"

It is now taking on more girls for training and will continue to do so until there is a force large enough to care permanently for any emergency. “There isn't a section that hasn't shown a big jump in telephone calls,” said Mr. Condit. “It is a little bit!tions were pe. greater in Main than in any of the other exchanges, because that is the business district, and apparently the business houses are doing more tele- phoning than ever. However, there has been considerable increase in North, Columbia_and the other residential sections. We take that to indicate that ocial affairs also figure in it.” ‘The increase In long-distance calls has not been as great as the local. About 2,900 long-distance calls origi- nate in Washington every day, which is just about the average expected by the company. Last Thursday, however, the number was 3,800, due, in all probability, to the great num- ber of visitors who called their homes.

The motor bus is com- ing because it can-go where the needs of the community requirs it. “The flexible instrument in mechani- cal development will gupplant that which is not flexible as surely as day follows night. Just am the lamp replaced .the citndle. and . the - alectric ht took the place of the lamp; so will the motor bus become the ultimate means of urban transportation.” . ..~ _Mr. Syme admitted - that the new route would tgké sonfe business from the lines: of the two sl t railway companies, but he sald “it is silly” to say it will make serlous inroads into the income of the companles at this time. N The former corporation counsel pointed out that there always has new things into the life of the world. He declared that when steam rail- roads were being. gatablished in this country there was an outery in the stute of Ohio over the prospect of having “some sort of an engine haul- ing a wagon through the state at the rate of fifteen miles an hour” . Answering Mr. Ham's argument that the streel car companies are subjected to a number of financial burdens not placed upon motor bus [lines, Mr. Syme sald: Says Trolleyn Were UnburdeRed. “Does any one imagine for a mo- ment that the present burdens were placed upon the street raillways when their tracks were firat laid? Thi burdens are placed on the companies when they have reached a. point where they can stand them. And it may be that Congress in future will place a tax on the revenues of bus lines if thesa linea come to stay.” Mr. Syme sald' there will be op- position to competition in all busi- ness as long as the world lasts. The street car companies themselves are ever watchful of competition, he de- clared. “A year ago when the people came before this commiesion to ask that the Capital Traction Company be per- mittéd to build a new line on 17th Electric Company objected becau such a line would cut into their opera- tions,” Syme declared. hn_E. Zimmerman, president of Washington-Virginia Railway Company, told of the results of bus competition with his company be- tween here and Alexandria. He also opposed bus competition with street car service. 3 Harry King, representing the Cham- ber of Commerce, entered objection to -the establishment of motor bus lines in direct competition with street rail- ways. PROPOSAL TO BAN SUB- MARINES MEETS WITH SOME U. S. SUPPORT (Continued from First Page.) I coming from the Navy Department with regard to the reductlon of the tonnage of the submarines proposed by the British, it was admitted by naval officers that the feeling among the public against the submarine, since its use against commercial ves- sels and hospital shipz by the Ger- mans was very strong.’' The fact that a vast amount of tonnage of the mer- chant marine of the world had been destroyed also was inclined to make the business men of this country and of other nations strongly oppose the undersea craft, it said, too. It may be, it was said, that the United States, will agree to some modification ot the Hughes plan so far as submarines are concerned, par- ticularly with respect to the ocean- going submarines, used by the Ger- mans, particularly as offensive rather than defensive weapons. ‘The submarines of the United States, bullt and bullding, have a to- tal tonnage of about 100,000 tons, it was sald. Some of this tonnage would be sacrificed if the Hughes plan as it stands should be adopted, and if fur- ther. cuts are made in the tonnage as suggested by the British, still more of these craft would have to be dis- carded.
