EFFICIENCY TESTS HOLD
PENNSY'S MEN ALERT
Two Million Trials Made to Ascertain
Observance of Safety Rules
on Railroad.

Efficie ncy reports on the Pennsylvania
Railroad in 1913 covered the work OF OFF,
GERS as well as the rank and file. a COM
pilation Just made shows that during the
year more than two million efficiency
tests were made to ascertain the Oh
seryance of train salty rules. Out of
this enormous number OF tests 99.S per
cent showed employees living up to the
strict letter OF the rules.
This record accounts, probably more
than anything else, for the fact that last
year the Pennsylvania Railroad carried
Iii, 600 900 passengers without a single
one of them being killed in a train acci-
dent
Records for the year show that exactly
Sc s29 tests were made in the use OF sig
nails, and 994 per cent OF them indicated
perfect observance by employees. Out of
2705 signals set at caution all but eight
of the cases observed were duly obeyed.
Sixteen thousand and more tests were
made of observance by enginemen OF
fiagman's signals and in only eleven cases
did employees fail In their duty. One hun
dred and thirty three Thousand observa-
tions were made on rules for handling
explosives and infiammables, and l52 in
fractions were found. Observation was
made in 137, It's caes to ascertain wheth-
er trains were leaving Or arriving at sta

GRANT IN 1864,

Halleck was to be retained as chief OF
staff to the President who, by virtue OF
his Office, was Commander-in-Chief. In
fact. Gen. HaIleck had never been more.
Although highly educated in military
matters, he had never shown capacity
for ascertaining the responsibility of his
position.
Gen. Grant. who had arrived in Wash
ington - day before and lodged at
Willard's Hotel, arrived at the White
House a few minutes before O'Clock
and was ushered into the Cabinet
Room, where most of the Cabinet were
already assembled.
Grant was i'll at ease and embarrassed
when he was presented to these repre-
sentatiVes of the Government. He hal
perer associated enough with men in
public life to look upon them with con-
fidence He had a shy and constrained
way of shaking hands with them which
revealed his mental attitude toward
them.
Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles,
who kept a diary, noted that Grant dis
played "a degree of awkwardness' when
he met the President the night before at
a reception at the White House and that
he was now somewhat embarrassed"
Lincoln TO Grant.
Lincoln had arranged for a formal ex-
change of speeches in presenting Grant
with his commission and had supplied
Grant with a copy of what he intended
to say in order that Grant might write
a reply to it. He had also requested
Grant to say something that would 'ob-
viate any jealousy on the part of other
generals" and would put him "on as
good terms as possible with the Army of
the Potomac"
The company having all arrived. the
President. who had been seated, rose ard
stood before Gen. Grant Beside Grant
sod his young son and the two mem
bers of his staff The President read
from -, small slip of paper the follow
ing:
Gen. Grant: The nations appreciation
of what you have done. and its reliance
upon you for what remains TO be done,
in the existing great struggle, are now
presented with this commission consti-
tuting you lieutenant-general in the Army
of the United States. With this high
honor devolves upon you also a cores
ponding responsibility. As the country
herein trusts you, so. under God, it will
sustain YOU. l scarcely need to add that

will be due to those armies. and. above
all, to the favor of that Providence
which leads both nations and men,"
1t will be observed that Grant had
disregarded the Presidents request to
make specific mention of the Army of the
Potomac. although he bad covered .the
ground admirably in his reference to all
the armies. He had avoided any re-
ference whatever to other generals. In
this evidently he considered IL wiser not
to enter upon his duties with a declara-
ton that might be construed as an
evidence of weakness.
Grants character was so direct that
he could not sympathize with the more
subtle method of Lincoln. in endeavor-
iLg to introduce into the situation ut
terances that would soften the disap-
pointment Of men over whom Grant had
risen, or 10 bespeak the favor of the
soldiers in an army to which he was

enemy,
Grant next asked the President, what
special service was expected of him.
Lincoln replied that the country wanted
him to take Richmond, saying "Our gen.
erals have not been fortunate in their ef-
forts in that direction" and asked Grant
il he could do if.
Grant without hesitation answered that
he could if he had the troops. These, the
President assured him, he should have
