PENNSY PLANS
ANOTHER MERGER
Takes in All Lines West of
Pittsburgh; Directors
to Act Later

Philadelphia, Nov. 22.-Samuel
Rea, president of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, answering the
published rumors of an amalgama-
ton of the eastern and western lines
of the Pennsylvania system said:
"The board of directors is con-
sidering the acquisition by the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company of the
Pennsylvania Company, with view
to assuming directly the operation
of the western lines comprising in
the northwest system, chiefly the
Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago
Railway, the Cleveland and Pitts
burgh Railroad, the Erie and Pitts
hurgh Railroad, and other roads now
entirely owned and operated by the
Pennsylvania Company. All the cap
ital stock of the Pennsylvania Com
pany is owned by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company.
Merger Lines
The lines marked for immediate
merging are the Pittsburgh, Fort
Wayne and Chicago Railway, the
Cleveland and Pittsburgh Railroad
and the Erie and Pittsburgh Rail-
road.
Consolidation of the subsidiary
lines has been taking place for sew
eral years in the effort of the rail-
road company to bring the relation
ship of controlled companies closer
to the operating head of the sys-
tenn.
The Pennsylvania Railroad has
115 separate roads embraced in its
system, "114 of which, said Mr..
Rea, should be eliminated" The
elimination of the expense necessary
for making up reports in each of
these companies, he pointed out. was
needless In the entire country there
are more than 1900 roads. which,
said Mr.. Rea. could be included in
a dozen of the most important sys-
TENS. Continuing, President Rea
said:
In Line With Policy
THE acquisition of the Pennsyl-
vania Company. which the directors
are considering, is in line with our
policy of eliminating unnecessary
corporations and duplicate account
ing and financing. Whether it is
finally consummated or not, it will
not disturb the experienced and eff
ficient organization of the Pennsyl-
vania system now at Pittsburgh,
which has charge of the administra-
ton and operation of the western
lines. Under the present pressure
of traffic and in order to assist most
effectively in the prosecution of the
war, we need more experienced off,
GERS instead of decreasing the num-
ber."

The first damage to the new motor
apparatus was sustained when q
Citizen truck was struck by a street
car at Second and Swatara streets
late yesterday afternoon. Charles e.
Kramer, assistant chief of the de-
partment and first assistant driver of
the Citizen company was driving the
truck. Newton McCaney, driver of
the Citizen truck was on the truck
at the time. Both tenders of the
apparatus were badly bent. Neither
occupants of the truck were injured.
According to Chief Malehorn, per-

take the truck to Harrisburg for
repairs. On his return he was to
have placed it in the firehouse but
proceeded down town, the chief
said.

CHAPTER Nv.
Fighting and Studying.

GO the years go for Pershing in the
y west. There is some fighting,
much marching and drilling, with
official commentator for duty well
performed. But promotion lags. The
call of Blackstone and Kent still tries
to lure him from the profession of
arms, but it is not until 1898, when he
has just completed a years term as
military instructor at the University
of Nebraska, that he wins his degree
of bachelor of laws. He has put in
all his spare time in the study of the
law. He will make a good lawyer,
for his keen mind is used to reasoning
out closely the problems that confront
him. But he has spent eleven years
in the army. including the four years
as the Military academy, and it is
hard to break away from long associa-
tons. He will remain in the service,
for awhile at least, he thinks. His
men think well of him, especially the
colored troopers of the Tenth cavalry.
in command of whom he has acquired
the sobriquet of BLACK Jack" He has
also served as an instructor at the
military academy.
In the meantime his belief that the
United States will never become in
vOlyed in another war is in a fair way
to be disprOved. For a century or
more the black cloud of revolt has
hung over Cuba and the Philippines,
and the severity of the Spanish gov
eminent in the Pearl of the Antilles
has evoked protests from the United
States. Then come the destruction of
the Maine, the fevered debates in con-
gress, the declaration of war, and ev-
cry regular army officer is burning to
get into the scrap in Cuba. Of course
BLACK jack Pershing was one.
1t is on the day of Ell Caney. one of
the hottest fights of the short war,
that the colonel of the Tenth cavalry
turns to his orderly. "Who commands
those troopers there ON the right?' he
asks.
That's Pershing, sir"
"By Jove, l thought so! He's the
man. See him go up that hill! I've
been through the civil war and I've
seen men under fire many time, but
ON my word, he's the bravest and cool
est man under fire | ever saw in my
life! Washington shall hear of this,
sirr'
And Washington did hear of it, to
such good effect that Lieutenant Perish
ing. now major of volunteers, went to
the Philippines when that bunch of I'M
ruly islands needed cleaning up. In
the meantime he had shown his fine
administrative abilities as organizer
and first chief of the bureau on insular
affairs. 1t was hard work, almost like
setting up new department of the
Ladysmith news-budget. [volume] (Ladysmith, Rusk County, Wis.) 1907-1927, 1917-11-16

had not called off the expedition?
Surely not any army man who knows
Pershing. When he started after Villa
we just knew that Villas future was
settled. But the great war in Europe
was threatening to involve the United
States, CarranZa was bitterly hostile.
and Villa displayed the qualities of a
will-o'-the-wisp. No one was more dis
appointed than Pershing when the or
ders to return were issued and he, the
soldier in Mexico, had to hear them
and obey.
The great war was devastating the
world, and America, after more than
two years of waiting, was called upon
to make the world safe for democ-
racy." Foreign countries sent their
ENJOYS here to discuss with the pres
ident and the government the manner
in which America could make its
weight tell in the shortest time.
"Send us some of your men, that our
soldiers may see them at their side and
be heartened in the fight against Ger
man autocracy," said Balfour and Jof-
fire to President Wilson and Secretary
of War Baker.
"We shall send them," said President
Wilson, "Mr. Baker, whom shall we
send to command our troops in
Frances?
"Send Pershing," said Mr.. Baker.
'All America knows what Pershing can
do We know him to be not only a
brave, resourceful fighter, but man of
high administrative ability. We must
send our French and British allies a
man who will be able not only to lead
our men in the field and show that he
is conversant with the latest advances
in military science, but also man
who can manage our soldiers before
they get into the battle line. He must
represent us to the French and the
British worthily, as we should want to
be represented
"You are right, Mr.. Secretary" said
President Wilson. "And from what
have heard of Pershing and seen of
him he is the man to send"
With absolute secrecy, without the
blare of single bugle note or the roll
of single drum, Pershing sailed for
Europe. Not until he landed in Eng
land did the American. public know
