peals for Help During
Coming Winter
DEMANDS OF WAR

But Patience and Patriotism Will Help
All Through the Crisis-Country Fears
Greatest Transportation Problem in
History.

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-Following
the announcement by Fairfax Harri
son, chairman of the railroads war
board, that more than 500 commodities
might soon be placed under war en-
barge, the American Railway associa-
ton, of which the war board is a
branch. through Mr.. Harrison, has is
sued an appeal to the public to give
further patience and cooperation to
the railroads during the coming win
ter, "whcn,' says Mr.. Harrison, . the
railroads Of the United States will
face the greatest transportation prob
lem in their history
despite conditions says the ap-
peal, 1.-the railroad army is not pessi
mistic. 1t is, on the contrary, still on
tip toe for It's fight to control the ire
mendous traffic that has been so sud-
denly thrust upon it. But all railroad
men now recognize that 10 keep pace
with the evcr-inereaSing transportation
demands of our country, the railroads
will not only have to increase their
own efforts, but they must count up
on the shippers, the consignees, aud the
public as a whole to increase the co
| operation which they have so generous,
| " given to the railroads since the
United States entered the war
1.-The war has created demands that
| have increased the railroads burden
virtuallvNvcr night by millions of tons
Of freight. Some conception of what
| this increase means may be CLEANED
from the fact that the additional serv-
ice which is being demanded of the rail.
| roads this year is equivalent to carry
ing l20Q0o,0O0 600 tons of freight one
mile. This increase alone is more than
: the combined freight traffic for one
| wear Of Great Britain, France, Austria
Russia. and Germany. Moreover, the
| railroads will have to handle it with
| facilities that, frankly speaking. are in
| adequate. Cars, locomotives, terminals
| and all the other equipment and track
! space that is needed to handle the in
creased freight traffic that war al
most simultaneously produces cannot be
built over night.

locomotives and ears has been appro
priated for use abroad, either by tn,

result the railroads of the United
States must face their task with prac
tieally no increase in equipment.
