The increase in telephones in the United States during the seven- year period was 39.7%, the average for the world being 40,092, This in- crease in the United States was at- tained in spite of the fact that in 1914 the United States had by far the best development in the world.

In Germany the num- ber of telephones apparently in- creased slightly throughout most, if not all, of the war period; and, de- spite its territorial losses, the absolute gain in_telephones during the seven years, 1914-1020, was greater in Ger- raany than in any other KEuropean country, The increases in the continents other than Europe were larger than for.
