n HERE is encouragement
W in reports of vastly in
creased business for the
railroads. A year ago the rail-
roads were croaking to some
extent about poor business.
Today they are unable to
handle the traffic and shippers
complain of car shortages.
A story from New York yes
terday is enlightening.
A general revival of freight
traffic, unequaled since 1907,
was reported today by almost
every railroad entering New
York City or with terminals on
the New Jersey shore across
the Hudson river.
At the office of the Erie
railroad it was said that ton
mage figures for last month,
available today, showed that
the business done in Septem-
ber, 1915, was the greatest
ever recorded on the books OF
the company during the oper-
alton of the road.
Tonnage on the Baltimore
/ & Ohio of shipments to New
York and for export has in.
creased 40 per cent, it was said
within the past 80 days.
The New Haven railroad il
moving more freight today, i
was said, than it has moved
for years before. The New
York Central lines report tha
business is so good that hun
dreds of extra men have beel
added to handle the traffic
and delivery of 5000 to 6OOI
cars recently ordered is be
ing hurried to care for the trat
fic.

been no financial stress. This
because at any time It has been
possible for national banks to
90 to the reserve banks and OBJ
tain money with farmers notes
as security. The farmers note,
backed by a growing or a har-
vested crop, is commercial pa
per. Prior to the reserve bank
system such loans were not so
honored and the farmer often
had to sell his product against
his will. The difference in
what a farmer can obtain for
his wheat now as compared
with the price a month or two
ago may be attributed to the
federal reserve system because
under old conditions a vast
of farmers would have
been obliged to sell, thus keep
ing the price down.
When the American people
meet around their ThankSgiv-
ing tables this year they will
have genuine reasons for good
cheer and there is one toast in
which we all may join: To
President WilSon-who guards
our peace, prosperity and free
dom.

BARBAROUS

VIZ II again CAlplAdnAASO " !
two occurrences, each of
them equally shocking to Am
erican instincts, says the San
Francisco Examiner.
One of these occurrences is
the execution of Miss Edith
Cavell by a German court
martial. The other is the sink
ing of a German submarine by
the inexcusable and cowardly !
misuse of the American flag
and the killing of the German
sailors as they swan about
after the destruction of their
vessel.
The execution of Miss Cavell
was strictly legal, under mill
tary law, and corresponds very
much to our own execution of
Mrs. Surratt for aiding and alb
citing Confederate conspira-
tors against the lives of the
president and his cabinet Off
GERS. But legal or illegal, it
shocks us Americans to see a
woman put to death by firing
squad, even for the serious
crime of military treason and
misuse of the privileges of a
nurse.
The consensus of maritime
military law permits the use of
a neutral flag to approach an
enemy, though not to fire upon
one, and if the British patrol
boat Baralong displayed the
British flag before firing upon
the submarine, she was tech
Inically within the law.
But legal or illegal, the use
of our flag to creep upon a foe
and the killing of helpless men
swimming about after resist
ance was ended, is as shocking
| to American instincts as the eX-
ecution of a woman, caught in
committing a military capital
crime.
The point we desire to en-
phasize is that the longer this
war continues the more savage
and hateful it becomes and the
more are the natural human
sentiments and characteristics
of Germans and Frenchmen
and Englishmen changed to
resemble the ferocious instincts
and cruel characteristics of
savages.
1t is a dreadful war and all
good hearts long for it's end.

National League Has Tried Over 2,OOO Men
 in Last Nine Seasons

National league clubs in the last nine seasons tried out 2365 players, ac- cording to the official rosters as print ed in the older organizations hand book. This is an average for each cam paign of 28S athletes! The high water mark was reached in 1913, when secre- try John Arnold Heydler had to keep the records for 30S athletes, in 1907 on- ly 221 men got into championship com bats. The next year when the nation aIs had their finest soap, the three handed mix-up between the Giants. Cubs and Pirates, 230 players were flung into action.
 It is Heydler's opinion that the fans will relish seeing fewer players in the lineup this year.
 prove a great thing for baseball" a,v- CTS secretary John, despite the criti- cism directed against the reduction. I believe the public will appreciate games in which fewer players par ticipate It was no unusual thing last year to have 16 or IS men in a game of ball, which, of course, is a travesty on a game calling for nine players on a side.''
 George Tweedy stallings, Miracle Man and Master Builder, enjoys the distinction of having tried out more contemporaries, esteemed or. other wise. The first year George of Geor- gia was in command Of the Braves he used no less than 46 pastiners, IA of these being. pitchers, seven being catch CTS, IS being inflelders and 12 being outfe1ders. Previously the greatest number of men tried out in any one season by a National league manager was 45. Clark Calvin Griffith gave opportun1- ties to this number of players when he was managing the Reds in 1909, and J. Faversham Tinker, command ing the same combination four years later, equalled the Old Fox's record. Cincinnati in nine seasons has tried 346 men, St. Louis PSI, Boston 314, Pittsburgh BOT, Chicago 2s1, Philadel- phia PIT, Brooklyn 260, and New York 259.
 When Frank Chance was winning pennants in the Windy City he never had to call on more than 27 athletes There were 2S Cubs in 1906, 24 in 1907 | 26 in 1908 and 27 in 1910.
 l Pittsburgh in 1909 won the banner with 29 men. Little Napoleon McGraw used 2s players when he won the championships of 1911 and 1912 and 3z when he repeated in 1913. It is quality that counts, not quantity.

E
 OF RING BATTLES

1so4-Young Corbett defeated Tommy MoWatt in rounds at Chi cago- This bout between the Denver ite and the Chicago Iightwed Eht, gave rise to a curious controversy among those who wagered their coin on the battle. All the betting was on whether Young Corbett would be able to knock out his opponent within the six-round limit of the bout MoWatt managed to evade the Denver boy'E soporific punch until the sixth and last round was nearing it's end, and the sports who had put their ka1e on MoWatt to stay the route were iubi- lant- Just at the finish Corbett landed a punch that sent NIowatt kicking and the referee started to count, but he had not reached the fatal ten before the bell rang. Those who had bet on NIowatt to stay the 8 rounds insisted that he had done so, and their view was finally upheld by the sporting authorities, inasmuch as the battle was officially over before Mowatt took the full count.
