TELEPHONE SERVICES
BETWEEN LONDON AND CONTINENT Rugby’, October 31. The telephone service between London .and Vienna will be opened during the next few weeks. Satisfactory experimental conversations have already taken place between officials in the General Post Office in London and the Austrian authorities at Vienna, via Frankfort. Telephone services with Czecho-Slovakia are contemplated later. The Postmaster-General has given directions for a campaign to be undertaken at once to popularise Continental telephone services. A special booklet, giving details of overseas services, has been prepared, and canvassers will to-morrow begin a tour of business firms who are users, or potential users, of the telephone between Entrland and the various Continental countries. It is pointed out that telenhone sendees to the Continent will be greatly assisted by underground cables which have now been laid between Cape Gris Nez and Paris. Former!)’ overhead wires between the French capitavl and the coast were liable to damage in stormy weather. —British Official Wireless.
