In Traffic the War in Europe i
Expected to Cause in
This Country.
tsr1elAt TO Inr TrLsosAs,

BALTIMORE. Md, Aug, 12-
Returning from an inspection OF the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad lines
and trip through the Middle West,
which was begun prior to the dec
laratton Of war in Europe, Vice Pres
ident A. w. Thompson, head of the
railroads operating department, re-
ported that the railroad was in good
physical condition and prepared to
handle the large traffic which is ex-
pected to move to Atlantic ports for
export as soon as an outlet is eff
fected.
Mr.. Thompson left Baltimore on
the inspection trip in order to direct
the preparations which the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad was making to
handle the grain and other export
business before war was declared,
and while on the road he took charge
OF the situation which developed
when his road placed it's EMBRACE on
foreign shipments.
The work of placing the cars and
locomotives in condition to handle
the fall business was we'll under way
before the order went out that ex-
port shipments be held up. When
that occurred. Mr.. Thompson stated.
several thousand box cars had been
made ready for the grain and re-
pairs on the locomotives were well
under way.
At the present time the Baltimore
and Ohio has 700 box cars stored in
Chicago for the grain movement and
equipment is being held at other
points ready to be placed in the
trade. Two hundred engines that
were overhauled have been covered
with white lead until such time as
business conditions may require them
to be placed in service.
While getting the equipment ready
for the grain and other export traf-
tic, refrigerator cars were laso put
in condition for the peach trade in
Maryland, West Virginia and vir-
ginia, SO that the fruit can be hauled
10 the distributing markets without
delay The peach crop promises to
be better than was at first anticipated.
Except for the unrest created by
the European war, Mr.. Thompson re-
ported business conditions in the
Central West and in Baltimore and
Ohio territory in general seemed
promising. 1t is his opinion that
when the suspense shall have lifted
traffic volume will come up to the
predictions made earlier in the sea-
son.
Asked what effect the European
situation and the embargo on foreign
trade was likely to have on the Bal
timore and Ohio employees, Mr..
Thompson said that while sweeping
reductions in the forces were not
contemplated. the company was ar
ranging to hold its men in the SER
vice and that 1t would try to tide
sover the slump resulting from the

PURE RICH BLOOD

Bad blood,-that is, blood that is
impure or impoverished, thin and

1t affects every organ and function.
In some cases it causes catarrh; in
others, dyspepsia; in others, rheuma-

languid feelings and worse troubles.
1t is responsible for rundown

cause Of disease.
