Henry Worth Thornton

Logansport, Indiana, is the native town of Henry Worth Thornton, who. as general manager of the Great Eas- tern Railway of England, has trans ported hundreds of thousands of Brit ish troops and has thus played a high ly important part in the war. MT. Thornton will be forty-six years old tomorrow and was educated at St. Paups School, Concord. N. H., and at the University of Pennsylvania, where he took the civil engineering course
 He began his railroad career in 1924 with the Pennsylvania system, and in 1911 he was made general superinten- dent of the Long Island railroad. He was holding that job in February 1914 when the directorate of the Great Eastern, one of the leading British lines with 1,133 miles of road, threw a bombshell into British railway cir cles by announcing their intention of importing the Hoosier to take charge of the system as executive. MT. afterward. Several months later the war broke out and he has been one of the busiest men in England ever since. He has undergone the severest kind of test, for the transportation of troops to the point of authorization is no easy task. The railroads had to adjust themseves immediately to the
 new conditions imposed by war, and whereas the railroads in the United States had considerable time to pre- |ipare for the handling of the troops now being sent to France, and of the conscripts being sent to concentration camps, MT. Thornton and other rail- road managers in England were given sixty hours in which to have their equipment In working order. MT. Thornton was a recognized leader in working out the plans, and within less than the allotted time the government was informed that the roads were ready. Train after train loaded with troops, cannon, ammunition, horses, carts, wagons ambulances and all the various other supplies and munitions were dispatched over the roads, with hardly hitch. Since that Hateful day In 1914 the resources of the railroads have been strained to the utmost, but they have met all demands, and in apportioning the credit the young ex- ecutive from Logansport is given his fuli share of praise.

PLANS TO RAISE FUNDS FOR

Well Attended Meeting in New Haven Saturday to Start Campaign in Connecticut-Does Not Cover Activities of Y. M. C. A. or the R. of c. in Camps.

I Hartford, Nov. 5-In preparation
 for a national campaign to raise a
 fund of $3,500,000 for the War Camp
 Community Recreation Fund. a state
 wide organization meeting was held Saturday in the Chamber of Cont
 merce Hall, No. 1855 Church street,
 New Haven. Active campaigns have
 already been arranged for Hartford,
 New Haven and New London and
 plans were considered for extending
 the campaign to the other cities and communities of the state. Among the organizations represented at the
 meeting were the Chamber of Com
 merce of Connecticut and various Ro-
 tary clubs and lWomen's clubs.
 The campaign in full swing from
 November 5 to 10, has the hearty en-
 dorsemert of President Wilson, Secre- .tary of War Baker, Secretary of the Navy Daniels, the Connecticut State Council of Defense, the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, the International Association of Rotary clubs and other organizations.
 The campaign Is no way competitive with those of the Young Mems Chris tian association or the Knights of Columbus, and the objects for which
 tn emoney Is needed are different since the two latter organizations are concerned chiefly with recreation within military camps while the Ma tional War Camp Recreation Com mission is interested almost wholly in activities outside the camps and in Che communities surrounding them or nearby.
