COTJLKN, (CotrJIonde,nco of

(the Ameiicuns began withdrawing
from Germany the United States
army hadperfected one ofthe fin

Fiom thuiieadquurlers of the, Third"!
Arny In Cobleni'fifty dong distance
lines had been set up and it is pos
sible for the coWuuiirting gomral
to sit in hl, office and'talfc 'with
Anyilum ofricers io 'J.ouiion. ller
lin,e Vienna, Nutterlam, Brussels,
Antoevji. l'arlse and various otlter
points in Vixiuco.
The Anny of pccuplo his a
telephone svstvm closely resemb
ling the best commercial sifctom in,
the United States On the top floor
of the hcadqifartors building in
Coblens a nine position switchboard
was. installed' soon after the Anier
irtins reached Ihe Rhine. Scattered
throughout Cobleni aro twenty pri
vato biauch exchanges of the var
ious' units of httuliiimrters. Connect
ed to this, system are more than
four hundred "subset ibers" In ad
dition to' the, fifty long distance
lines.
Within the German occupied "area
thero has bee,n established by the
Signal Corps under the direction ot
Colonel Parker." Hltt. chief signal
officer, a network of wires connect
ing tire various units of tho Third
army. Direct lines 'connect with
all the corps and divisions, approxi.
nijali'lj; lG.OOO miles of wire being
in service.
I This . extensive, plant has not
however, been built by the Third
army, but .consists almost altogeth
er of the German lines taken over
i by the Signal Corps and so arrang
ed to .moot the needs of the army.
Sufficient circuits were left, how
evor, for tho civilian population to
crjiry on their business.
More than 15,00.0 calls are reg
istered daily on the Coblenz switch
board. With tho establishment of
exch.-.nge in Cobleni it was neces
sary to employ operators who could
sneak English French tnnd Gemini)
Tho 'fifteen operutors on 'duty In
Coblenz are all members of the
Women's Telephone cerps and have
been in the sorvlce more than a
year. The chief operator, Miss Hel
en Cook, was a former employe of
1 tho American Telephone & Tele
graph Company In New York. Pre
vious to Joining tho American Ex
peditionary Ft:ce, Miss Cook spent
'six years as instructor for tho Hell
system in offices in Chicago, Minne
apolis, Omaha, Cleveland, Detroit
and Memphis.
I The word "Doodlebug" Is the
code name of the Third army
itiwitchbmwd in Coblenz, tho corps
'and. divisions also retaining the cod"
names tliet were assigned them dur
ing the war. On the l:tck of a twen-tyjpay-t.'lephone
idirectory issued
by tho Third army tho artist's con
ception of a "doodlebug" has. been
reproduced in Ihu sliapo pf a but;
made, up of a combination of
stibies, rirics and an aerial bomb.
.All the apparatus, Including
switch boards , telephone instru
ments and in fact everything ex
cepl Uic wires. Is of American man
nfactuic and it to bo taken out
whfn the Amerirans in force say
goodbye, to the Rhine and start to'
France and home.
