GIANT JOB FOR
ROADS TO MOVE
100000 men

Plans for the largest troop move
of this country are now being per-
| fected at Washington. Altogether $751;
900 men will have to be transported
| to. the various cantonments that the
government is building to house the
new national army. The movement
will start September 5. Between that
date and September 8 the railroads
will complete the entertainment of 2O0,-
900 men, or approximately 30 per
cent of the total number scheduled to
be moved to the various training
camps. 1t is expected that a second
movement of approximately 100000
men will begin September 10, contin-
uing for four days, and third move
ment of the same size October 3.
Some conception of the magnitude
Of the task confronting the Ameri-
can Railway association in preparing
schedules that will assure the safe
and prompt transportation of these
armies without interfering with reg
ular traffic, may be cleaned from the
fact that to move merely one field
army of $4,000 men requires 6,229
cars made up into 366 trains, with as
many locomotives and train crews.
Meanwhile, in addition to moving
the $4,000 recruits for the national
army, the railroads have been asked
to supply transportation for the $780,
900 members of the national guard
to their training camps. This guard
movement has already started, and
will continue in increasing volume.

SNAKE, ASHMAN, PANIC;
 POLICEMAN TAKES HAND

LOUISVILLE, Nov. 2.-A negro ashman, a rattIesnake-result, a panic.
 Shortly before noon yesterday, big rattlesnake, minus fangs, did crawl from the window of a dime show near by and, feling cold, coil ed in a garbage barrel. In the meantime the manager of the show learned that the snake had been re- leased by boys opening window, and went in search of the reptile.
 About this time along came Bill his assistant, threw the garbage can into the wagon and Jones dumped it. What he saw was a revelation. A serpent about eight 'feet long glided across his feet Then the snake was the only living thing in the cart.
 A policeman on the corner thought the negro was running from him and started chase. Now next to a snake a blue coat can scare a negro who is 'skeerabIe." The worked, and if time- keeper had been present new rec ord would have been set.
 The snowman found his snake and the negro peeped around cor ner and cautiously returned. You can't never tell whether a snake is kidding he philosophical.
