Railways in War-Lighf Thrown by British
Experience on Probable Developments
infhe United States

The situation OF the railways OF the
United States in the important rart
which they must play in the war in
which we are now involved is some
what similar to the position OF the
railways of Great Britain i'm the inn
portant part which they have played
during the last 80 months. Therefore,
what has been done in the manage
ment of the railways there under the
conditions OF war may forecast what
will have TO be done here under SINH
lar conditions.
Some of the notable moves which
have been made by the Railway EX-
ecutive Committee in cooperation
with the government have been an
increase of 80 per cent in passenger
fares; the pooling Of freight car
equipment; and the institution Of
severe restrictions and economies in
all branches Of the service in order
to meet increases I'm employees wages
and enormous increases in the cost
OF materials. One of the most signif-
cant features Of Great Britain's pol
icy is that these increases in expeu-
SEES are automatically assumed by the
government. The large increase in
passenger fares has been made not to
increase revenue, but to reduce the
amount of passenger travel in order
to facilitate the movement of freight.
With this increase the third-Class
rate becomes 8 cents per passenger
per mile and the first-class rate a
cents per mile
Is These facts are brought out in an
Illuminating article in the current is
sue OF the Railway Age Gazette, by
julius II. Parmelee. u is a generally
recognized fact that the effectiveness
OF the part which the United States
will play in the war will,depend large.
~ upon the efficiency with which its
railways are operated. OF all the
countries now involved there is the
closest resemblance between the Uni
ted States and Great Britain. There
as here, the railways are privately
owned. There, as here. arrangements
have been made between the govern
ment and the railways by which. I'm
the main operation is left I'm the
hands of the railway officers. There,
as here, a committee of executive Off
GERS has been organized with almost
autocratic authority. In Great Britain,
however the government has guar.
anteed to the railways the same net
return as they made in the period i'm
mediately preceding the war, while
here the government makes no guar
antees regarding railway earnings
In view of this similarity Of condi
tons and partial similarity in the
plans adopted for handling the stu
alton some details OF the British plaI
outlined i'm Mr. Parmalees article are
of especial interest in this country
The Railway Executive Committee
acting under the authority of The
British Government. has found it ne

The ideal of No Idle Acre is not
easy to attain.
Everyone knows the necessity OF
increasing the food supply OF the
United States and It's allies for the
winning Of the war. But how can in
dividual effort be made available for
their service
Many land owners who would be
glad to do their Bit are confronted
with the lack OF labor. Efforts must
be undertaken to recruit armies for
the farm. to organize men and boys
for agriculture as a work OF patriot
ism.
But there is large field for in
creased production without any new
organizations. without any recruiting
of additional forces, by the mere turn
ing OF available land ana available
labor to the work Of commercial food
production
That field is the garden Of the cOun-
try estate, be il large or small.
In the suburbs OF all our cities are
a great number OF summer homes,
small and large. in which gardens are
maintained They have not been cul-

extent. They have furnished vege-
tables To- the tables OF their owners,
but rarely have they been cultivated
with the idea of getting the utmost
possible yield
In a large measure they have been
playthings. and their addition 70 food
resources has been incidental TO their
pleasure-givng power.
Now is the time for a change.
Let every garden be used to its full
est capacity for the production OF
staple foods.
n need be, let the flower garden be
neglected. as we'll as the fancy bor-
ders. Let the gardeners Of the. great
estates give their attention TO beets
cabbages, beans and potatoes.
These suburban and country es-
tate gardens have always been ca.
pable Of producing much more food
than they were ever called upon &c
raise. without significant increase in
labor. Their production was not linn
tied by SOL capacity or lack Of labor
but by lack Of demand.

Butler college basketball team
wasn't as bad as the Quakers and the
Irvingtonians profited to the extent
of rather dull game at the Coliseum
last night. Apparently both teams
were of form as neither faction dis
played any decided tendency to play
basketball.
Earlham's showing was a disap-
pointment. The Quakers have the
ability to defeat a team the calibre
of Butler but they failed to produce
that ability last night. With the pos
sible exception of Cutrell and Pitts,
center and guard, respectively, the
Earlham team failed to show the
brand of work it has shown symp-
toms of in previous games.
