Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Exploits of the Signal Corps in the War With Spain Instant communication is the insistent demand of the closing days of the nineteenth century, in both military and civil life. Cities are honeycombed, as it were, by telephone lines, penetrating even to the very separate rooms and desks in our great buildings; States and nations are enmeshed in intricate webs of telegraph and telephone lines, and the twelve parallel submarine cables across the Atlantic give but an indication of the bonding of the civilized world by that means of communication which knows neither time nor space. As great a change has taken place in the requirement for means of military communication since our last great war as has taken place in commercial life since the introduction of the telephone, and the demand for instant and efficient communication is more insistent in war than in peace in the proportion that war is more desperate and deadly than the peaceful pursuits of commerce and trade. This is an age of specialties, and the service of military communication is entrusted to a special department of the army, called the Signal Corps.
