CONTEST SUITS

Selection of Good Roads for

Il am glad, mighty glad. to see that

them and the means of getting them. Is
useful and a commendable project"
Supervisor Charles N. Arnold, chair
man of the road committee, feels the
same way about it, "If the entire city
gets interested in the subject, studies
1t and concentrates its attention on
1t, 1t will not be long before we have
good roads and plenty of them, for
then the necessity for a greater M
come for the municipality will be gen.
orally realized" he says. "A contest
such as the Sta: Bulletin is conducting
will do more than any other one thing
can think of to direct public atten-
ton to the subject. Thousands of peo-
pie will be studying the situation in
the city and county every Tuesday for
four weeks.
Merchants Distribute Cards.
The II merchants who have the SUBJ
marine chase cards had distributed
close to a thousand of them at noon
today. Il expected a rush, but not
the steady stream of demands that
there has been, said one of them this
morning.
Telephone inquiries regarding the
contest have been pouring into the
Star Bulletin office since the first pa

Tuesday afternoon. The inquiries have
como not only from people who want
to participate but from merchants who
want the cards. They are being dis

RAILROADS IN WAR TIMES
They Have Been the Salvation of Ger
many and Austria-Hungary.

In the cloak rooms of the capitol at
Washington some find fault with the
federal administration and the rail
roads, because Columbus, N. NJ, is on
a single track railroad which cannot
handle military troop and supply trains
rapidly. Congress is finding out how
much depends on the condition of the
railroads in time of war, yet it does
not show much inclination to help
them. We are lucky to have SO much
railroad accommodation along the
Mexican frontier. We cannot expect
Villa to pick out points where railroad
service is of the best wnen raiding
our frontier, and we cannot very well
ask the Southern Pacific to build a
four-track railroad parallel to the bor-
der when the government forces 1t to
carry parcel post matter at rates far
below the cost of transportation.
Strategic railroads have been the
salvation of Germany and Austria-Hun-
gary so far in this European war. The
largest army does not always win a
battle. Alexander the Great and all
successful generals since his time won
battles by striking the enemy hard at
one important point. In our day over
whelming forces can be concentrated
quickly by using railroads, and in no
other way. If we are to keep down
The size of our army, we must make it
as mobile as possible, and the only way
to do this is to organize the railroads.
1t would be easy to hurry troops to
New York, but there are many other
points of strategic Importance at which
troops could not be easily concentrat-
ed because the railroad service is in
adequate.
One of the difficulties our war de-
partment faces is shortage of cars for
Transporting troops and supplies. The
government can commander all the
cars it needs, but, if it has to do so,
the general trade of the country will
be paralyzed. War in Mexico will not
hurt business if it does not interfere
with the transportation of merchan-
disc. If the railroads had plenty of
rolling stock this could not happen,
but they would be tied up by govern
ment acquisitions, as it is, if we had
to put 100000 men in the field, and
