In any war, army engineers have good reason for taking care of the telephone system, and once hostilities are over, business can quickly revive. Last week, Mr. Behn pointed out that I. T. & T. has not only recovered its net loss of 10,525 telephones during the fighting at Shanghai in 1937, but gained 7,335 more...
