the war. AS the president stood there

for 14,043 ears and the indications
that thes distribution of 13S,000 tons
of rails would be made this week have
had a good effect, disposing of the fear
that these awards might be postponed,
and thus affect other railroad business.
An interesting feature is the number
of steel box ears included in these or
ders. For one lot, $500 tons of sheets,
have been bought by car company,
and an equal amount will go into box
ears to be built at Altoona. All told,
the Pennsylvania car orders will give
the mills $4,000 tons of finished steel.
"Nearly half the 100000 tons of
rails Russia is to buy here have been
covered by contracts. OF the Russian
cars, less than 5000 have been definite

american Influence IN
EUROPE'S Great WAR
LOOKED upon az Power for Good by
Sufferers of All Nations-Tre-
mendous Need of People in Coun,
tries Devastated

The American nations. with tbe ex-
ceptlon OF Mexico, have enjoyed such
long era of peace and prosperity that
Few can remember the country raw
aged by war; thus the appreciation Of
the AID sent to the citizens of fame
swept Europe can scarcely be realized
by the opulent and sleek peoples of the
western hemisphere. Before the fall
of famous Galician fortress even
cats, dogs, rats and emaciated horses
sold for almost fabulous prices to the
starving; then imagine the good work
done by the American relief ships
which have sailed forth laden like ar
gosies to these sufferers.
Rules of war compelling the devasta-
tion of fertile areas by flooding, the
burning of all crops before the advance
of the enemy and the foraging of the
huge armies for wherewithal to keen
them alive in times of stress soon pro-
duced the woeful state of an empty
larder in the fighting zone.
Yet, just as the citizens Of Messina
returned to live at the base of their
volcanic mount, as soon as the molten
lava ceased to flow, so do these yeomeu
strive to exc out their existence in
lands where even crows would now
starve, and to them the gifts of food,
clothing and other necessities were
priceless.
The United States. government
placed at the disposal of committees
great sea-going vessels to carry these
contributions safely to port, and food,
medicines and hospital supplies, as well
as many volunteer doctors and nurses,
were steaming from this shore to the
scene of Europe's struggle.
Few people realize the tremendous
need of relief by these ravished people
within the fighting zone, and few can
realize the feeling of friendship which
these gifts engender. The "Natons
at War; deals frankly and fully with
every phase of the first six months of
this titanic struggle.
