The boy After a year of Federal Control, the Pree property, which makes up the Bell Telephone System, is today returned to its owners by the United States Government. Nee Paes ACO HILE the has been properly maintained, it is on August 1, 1918. It is not as adequate for its job or as well manned as it was; that it is not, is in no way the fault of Federal control which was eminently fair. It is due to causes for which neither the Government nor the companies are to blame. ‘A year ago today we were at war. Labor and materials needed for both telephone operation and construction were turned to military uses. Some materials were #0 vital to the carrying on of the war that even the work of providing tele- phone facilities for the Government was retarded and no part of them could be spared for commercial telephone pur- poses. No less vital was the Government need for those skilled to create, maintain and operate the vast intercommunication system necessary in modern warfare and in the conduct of the vastly increased Government services. Thousands of telephone men were al- ready at the battlefront. Thousands more were under arms, and still tele- phone experts and skilled operators went into the service of the Government and contributory industries by the tens of thousands. The reserves of plant and equipment were drawn upon until they were entire- ly used up, and the experienced staff was gradually depleted. To find others to take the places of those who had gone was ‘ifficult, to train them takes time. During the year came victory and the armistice; and instantly the business world sprang into intense activity. The sh demands for telephone service passed all former records. To replace the exhausted reserves which had been carried for just such purposes and to replace the tidllell. forces to meet this unprecedented emergency, there began a rush for construction, for read- justment, for high pressure repairs, for feverish extensions. All these must be continued with increasing effort. The return of the property comes in the very midst of this race between an over- powering demand, and an upbuilding of a system whose growth was held back and whose forces were scattered by the vital needs of war. Much progress has been made in the up- building of this system, but far more is still required to meet the swift of business; and also to give “first aid” to every other business and every other service struggling against an unprece- dented demand. The prosperity which creates this emer- gency in service creates also a scarcity of those desiring employment in the service. Under such conditions telephone serv- ice generally has not been and could not be up to the pre-war standard. It is be- yond human power to immediately over- come the handicap which the situation imposes. There are no people in any public or private endeavor who are working more tirelessly or strenuously for the common good than those of the telephone com- panies, Service has always been given. More of it must be given and it must be improved. That improvement in some cases will take months. Eventually serv- ice must win the race with demand, NEW YORK TELEPHONE CoO. ‘| tenants are worrying about. to lay @ ghost~a ghost which yanks [or COSTS THREE 20 YEARS Dedelothes off! beds and jumps from the roof to the yard of @ three-story apartment ‘and, presumably, jumps going in both directions, and emits long = drown-out, hollow echoing moans, which cause the blood of Jiateners to run cold, Ocoupants of the apartment boure owned by Joseph Schwartz at No. 436 Walnut Street, in the Nodine Hill district, are convinced that such a ghost is camping in their midst and announce that if the police are un- able to evict It they ‘will have to move. Schwarts visited Poflce Head- quarters in Yonkers yesterday and hesitatingly approached Lieut. Dennis Cooper. The landlord is a sensible man, and he opened up by requestin; the Neutenant not to laugh at him. “I came Here,” said Schwarta, “to complain about a ghost.
