Plan to Pool Freight
Would Give $1,000 Cars

approximately 5000 cars will be added
to the available freight equipment Of the
railroads, it is believed, by a plan for
pooling shipments Of coal on the Great
Lakes through Lake Erie ports, an
nounced yesterday by Fairfax Harrison,
president OF the Southern Railway and
chairman of the war board Of the
American Railway Association.
The practice heretofore has been. for in
diyidual shippers to send coal to some
Lake Erie port, where It accumulated
until full shipload was on hand. In
the meantime thousands of cars were
held up and the switching facilities of
the railroads were taxed to the utmost
Under the pooling" arrangement the
various producers will send their coal
to certain ports where II will be put
in common pool and dispatched to tn.
Northwest as fast as vessels are ready
to take II.

and compIimented Lieut.. N. B. Brtscoe,
U. 8. A, who was assigned to drill the
cadets by the War Department.
President Wilson has been invited to

tary offcers with the French and English
commissions who are in Washington are

number have sent acceptances. All the
school ofncials will be on hand also.
The cadets have been so thoroughly
trained by Lieut.. Briscoe that many are
quite competent to serve in the armies

their service, that in some cases ex-
tends over two or three years, many of
the boys have been far more thoroughly
