Twenty Five Telegraph Wires Connected With the White House
Capt Montgomery who ran the war room during the Spanish War reports to the army signal corps chief. In 1900 the White House handled 53400 messages with 25 wires and added two duplex lines for a confidential cipher channel to New York. A new telephone exchange connects the White House to city branches and three trunk lines with 17 miles of exterior lines. A large new world map on the war room wall tracks daily army and navy movements. The White House telegraph bureau, created by McKinley, became a fixed office function.
