PENNSY MAKES
TEST TO CUT
DOWN time
Mechanical Accountants May
Eventually fake Place Of
Many Clerks
NEW DEVICE THAT
SAVES MUCH TIME

With two pay days each month. it
is keeping the clerical forces of the
p B. and w. railway busy to get out
the pay rolls and at the same time
keep up with their other work. AS an
experiment the Pennsylvania railroad
is now installing number OF ma
chimes in the accounting department
OF the company at Philadelphia for
the auditing of freight receipts, dis
bursements and other statistics.
Should they demonstrate their capac-
ity to do the work claimed for them.
many will be purchased and distrib-
uted among the Offices throughout tie
system.
The machines are for the purpose Of
keeping time and filing cards showing
each mans record at work. One ma
chine, it is said. will do the work of
! eight clerks. but as far as is known
/ the clerks will not lose their positions
as there is plenty OF work to do be-
! sides keeping record of the time Of
+ the shopmcn and those employed on
! the road. Since the introduction of
semi-monthly pax days. extra clerks
J have been on duty. These men may
be furloughed, providing the labor
saving machinery proves a success.
Although the mechanism of the ma
chine now being tested is contemplat-
cd. it's operation is so simple that lit

paved are those placed on the list
last year and it is hoped to have them
completed during the coming sum-

much in excess Of s15O,0OC because
of the numerous streets to be paved.

British Transport Trains
Nearly Captured By Enemy

Aldershot. Eng. Nov. IA soldier at
Aldershot has received letter from
one of the military requisition clerks
serving with the fifth divisional tram
of the army service corps in France.
IT saws: when we had completed our
purchases at a place called Dour, where
the headquarters were at that moment
the troops had just started to retreat
NY officer had left the chauffeur and
myself in the car and when the general
saw US thus absolutely isolated he or
dered US to leave. The Germans were
within half a mile of US and shells were
constantly bursting over our hads-
For y days we were retreating with
the Germans close on our heels. At a
little place near st. Quentin the Uhlans
were but a mile away. We stopped
to rest the horses. Our wagons were
all drawn up in the street and we were
detailed with loaded rifles to defend
the place. We knew the Uhlans were
very near and expected a rush at any
moment But we were not attacked and
at daybreak we moved on, the enemy
little knowing how small a force was
guarding such large and important sup
plies. We had many scares like this
during the retreat"

across an open field to attract the fire
Of the Germans so the colonel could tell
where the enemy's trenches were and
what their probable strength was. A
hail of bullets was directed at the four
men. They made their way to a small
farmhouse where they climbed up on a
tile roof and from the shelter of a CHM
ney began firing at the Germans An
gered by the imprudence of the four
soldiers the Germans directed one of
their batteries on the house and RACED
it.
MY smartest patrol leader is gone"
the colonel remarked, as he saw the
building crumble. The three privates
were no more, nut the little sergeant
was soon seen running across the field
toward his command. When the ser
geant arrived breathless at headquar-
tiers the colonel asked with mock
severity why he did not stay to con-
tinue the fire.
Sorry sir, but the pigs knocked my
house down." was the reply.

Are Torn Up.
WOMEN ASSIST MEN
IN REQUISITIONING

n ETROGRAD RUSSIA, Nov. In
the vicinity of SuwaIki, the devas-
tation caused by the war is anor-
nous. The railroad crossing the Me
men was destroyed. so utterly by the
Germans that before the Russian en-
gineers began to repair it, no one
could guess that a railway had ever
passed through the district if it were
not for the entertainments and tele-
graph posts with their broken wires.
On the fields one sees the ravapes of
artillery projectiles-deep, conicaI holes
five or six feet in diameter. Here. too.
one finds shrapnel cases, spIinters of
shells, skeletons of horses, fragments
of blood stained clothing. cartridge
pouches, blue-gray coats. Of German
soldiers, empty schnaps and beer bot
ties.
Country Devastated.
In one trench there was a particu-
larly large number of empty bottles.
1t is evident that the German soldiers
invigorate themselves with alcohol be-
fore battle. Near one of these batteries
of bottles was a soldiers common grave.
Along the road are many burnt houses
and plundered farms
OF entire villages, in some cases, only
blackened ruins remain Inside the
houses that have not suffered this way.
nothing remains whole. Pillows and
quilts have been ripped open and the
down scattered about. SamOvars, dent
ed by heels of heavy boots, are lying
qhOuf the floor
drawers have been rummaged by bay
onets.
Destruction General.
What the Prussians could not carry
away they have spOilt. Whole for
ests have been hewn down or burnt
Wide areas have been cleared for fields
by fire Peasants gardens have been
stripped of their produce. Potatoes,
carrots and other vegetables have been
dug up wholesale and carried off.
In Suwalki itself the streets are
empty and silent. All the windows
are closely suffered. Signs Of life are
visible only in the central area. where
a few hops have opened and lights are
occasionally seen at night.
On their arrival in Suwalki, the Ger
mans ordered the confiscatiOn of all
provisions in the possession of the in
habitants. RequisitioninE was carried
out by women, who had arrived in
carts from frontier places in eastern
Prussia. As well as cOmestibles, these
German AmazOns carried off furniture,
linen and crOckery.
Houses Stripped.
When news was received of the de-
feat of Mindenberg's army, an order
was issued that all the inhabitants of
the town and the peasants in its vi
cinity should be pressed into the work
of Selling provisions. The Germans
had a list of addresses of all public Of
ficials, both military and civil. and all
moveables were taken from the homes
Of these people.
All houses where German officers
lived were completely cleared out.
