Train REDUC.
TONS new IDEA
IN ECONOMY
Government Desires Action to Hold
Rolling Stock in Readiness.
PASSENGER SERVICE HIT
Many Trains May Be Taken Off Dur
ing Transportation Of Troops.

Chicago, April 24.-The wave OF
war economy has hit the railroads
| and their transportation experts to.
day are figuring on how to reduce the
number of passenger trains to the
lowest possible number.
Passenger service is considered by
many Of the railroads as more or less
of an advertising luxury. They figure
that by cutting out part of their
trains the traveller, while losing his
present pleasure of "a train at any
hour" the roads would have the sat
isfaction of filing every seat in the
coaches and have two fares from
seats which now carry only one"
To many points, such as st. Paul,
Kansas City and st. Louis competing
roads run trains starting on identi-
cal minutes and arriving on the same
time. 1t is figured that by concerted
action many of these trains can be
eliminated and the remaining ones
will still be able to care for the traf-
fic.
1.-THE government is DESTROYS that
some such action be taken as it ex-
poets to be called to move large num-
bers of men on moments notice and
will need all the rolling stock avail
able" it was said at the Office of r.
n. Ashton, president of the Chicago
and Northwestern railway and one
Of President Wilson's national de-
Tense council.
"The actual working out of the de-
tails has not been completed. 1t is
POSSIBLE also that the reduction of
trains might be temporary, covering
only the time the government was
transporting troops"
Several roads have started weed
ing out unn cessary trains without
waiting fer government compnlsion.
One of the big roads is said to have
taken off sixty trains since the first
of the year, fifteen of that number
being discontinued this month.

i London, April "a. The British
are gaining more ground in con-

nearer Cambria and have captured
two more villages and reached the St.
Quentin canal.
The element of surprise is no long
err factor in the British attack. APP
parently large numbers of German
reserves are being thrown to the
front. The Germans delivered many
counter attacks yesterday regardless
of heavy losses. Prisoners taken in
yesterdays fighting numbered fifteen
thousand and there are more today.

1T threw our best individual forces

triotic Service on Part of People
in Time of National Peril.

New York, April 3.-"In view of
much that has been said of the ability
of the banks to take a great govern.
ment loan," says a statement issued
by the National City bank, cit is well
to emphasize that it is far more de-
sirable to have the loan taken by pri-
vate parties. If the banks create new
credit, the effect will be to initiate the
situation and increase reserve require
ments. Moreover, the bank situation
should be kept free and strong to deal
with the business situation. Whenever
the loans are offered they will come
thick and fast, and the American pub
lie should be prepared to take them as
a patriotic service. Saving for the
loans should be in order here as it has
been abroad
