Telephones Brains.
AMERICAN PRAISE OF BRITISH SERVICE. LONDON, March 24. Sir William Noble, speaking in London said they heard a great deal of chaff at the expense of the Civil Service nowadays, but he might say that the new Prime Minister of the Irish Free State was once a junior post' office official, and that the Minister for Defence of that State was one of his own clerks. That showed, at any rate, that the Civil Service had some ability.
They bad in thle post office service at the present time some of the best telephone brains in the world, and they were working seven days a week to improve the service. He had it on the authority of American engineers, who had recently been here on a tour of inspection, that the London telephone service was equal, if not superior, to the service in New York. Sir Wilfred Atla.v, chairman of the Stock Exchange, said that, so far as the Stock Exchange were concerned, they had nothing hut praise for the way the Government had done everything they had asked them to do to improve the telephone sj&rvice.
