Immediate Improvement
Communication with Chicago and with
the far West and Southwest via Chicago
is maintained over only two lines There
are no breaks on either the Lake Shore
Line or the Michigan Central. The few
washouts on the main line of the New
York Central in the Mohawk Valley ne
cessitates the detouring of trains from
Albany TO Syracuse by way of the West
Shore Line. This roadbed is about thirty
feet higher than is the New York Central
proper. and Is yet has suffered from no
washouts.
Trains arriving in New York and west
bound trains arriving at their destina-
tons are of necessity late because of
this upstate disturbance and also be-
cause OF the use OF the Lake Shore Line
by Pennsylvania and Erie trains in the
latter case bringing a congestion.

Send Out Work Trains.
Heroic efforts by the management OF
the railroads are being made to restore
service to the stricken area just as soon
as the food subsidies. Work trains, in
charge OF skilled men. have been ordered
West by the Pennsylvania, and the Erie
has six thousand workmen already in
the field. In one week. or, at the most.
ten days, sufficient repairing Will have
been done on these roads to allow the
movement OF trains in this territory.
Word was received at the Pennsylvania
station that four bridges on the Fort
Wayne route and numerous wasnouts
over a distance seventy miles in length
have been discovered. 1t will mean that
service on this branch cannot possibly
be restored until next week. TnIs Will
mean the abandonment OF transportation
facilities in this section. Trains for Chi
cago are detoured at Alliance, however,
and sent over the Lake Shore Line. The
Pennsylvania is cooperating in relief
work with Maj. James r. Normoyle,
U. 8. A. and Mai. James A. Logan. both
OF whom have been detailed to make a
preliminary report OF conditions in south

by the Pennsylvania by any accessible

POLICE RAISE MONEY
FOR FLOOD VICTIMS

Many Washington policemen yesterday
drew upon their savings account to con-
tribute to the fund being raised by the
members Of the local police force for the
relief Of the food sufferers. As soon as
1t became generally known to the MEM
bers OF the force that a fund was being
raised a generous response was made.
1t is expected that several hundred dol
lars will be raised.
An effort will be made to have the
money all in within the next few days
so that II can be turned over to the
American Red Cross to be used In pur-
chasing food, or in any way that will
afford relief to the food sufferers.
The fund was started yesterday by
Maj Sylvester and the officers at head
Quarters. Notices were posted in all OF
the station houses that subscriptions
would be received by the captains. All
contributions are purely voluntary.
