The State Cpllege~at Storrs cannot meet the demands made upon them and for that rezson every effort is be- ing made to increase the enrollment for this year.

SHADES “ALWAYS A TOUCH OF SMARTNESS” ° Mobilizing by Telephone Scattered all over the country, in every State in the Union, are the training and mobilization camps of the soldiers of the Republic. Here, men are being specially trained to lead; there, the raw recruits are being whipped into shape; here, men are learning the art of flying and there drilling with the big guns. It has been a part of the task of the Bell System to supply ‘telephone service and equipment for this important phase of the nation’s military activity and for the many camps where our citizen-soldiers have been temporarily concentrated. Each important camp has its special switchboards with a- trained operating forc - pole lines linking even the farthest outposts with headquarters, and bringing all under Many new lines have been built to give ample connections with the headquarters of military departments, state capitals and with the National capital. This has required large additions to central e equipment in adjacent towns and cities and large in- creases in the number of operators. The great military cantonments in various parts of the country now under construc- tion, which will house more than 600,000 men, will require a vast additional amount of telephone apparatus and equipment. * In addition to the constantly increasing needs of the Government for telephone setvice and equipment, we must also meet the great and growing needs of countless in- dustries expanded and accelerated by the war. Only by the most conservative use of every available resource can these great de- mands for telephone service be adequately met. The Southern New England,Télepfione Co. i [}
