experience of the nations carriers il
an avalance of traffic such as al
history never saw before.
|, Despite the extraordinary achieve
ments and efforts of the railroads
war board in cutting car shortage
from 14S,O00 in April to about go,
600 on September 1, the increasing
pressure of fall crops and govern.
ment needs, has forced the figure
now to 10000.
Moreover there is every indication
that as America proceeds with the
war, the strain upon the railroads
will grow greater. Traffic of the
country is increasing at the rate of
LIS per cent month. Crops are
unusually heavy, factories all over
the country are clamoring for fuel
and demanding twice as many cars
for their output as normal conditions
would mean. The strike of coal
miners in the east now throws upon
the burden of hauling to the cities
in one month all the coal which they
have been given two months to haul
The roads at the present time are
getting out of each locomotive and
car approximately so per cent more
use Lnan they did two years ago,
but there is an obvious limit to hui
man possibilities. The carrier can
get no reinforcements in the way of
new equipment, for practically the
entire output of American locomo-
tive and car shops is needed by the
government for use abroad.
The draft has increased the diff
ficulties, which many railroads are
experiencing in securing an adequate
supply of labor, particularly unskill-
ed labor for maintenance of track
and roadway.
The Southern Pacific company is
urging it's employees all over the sys-
tenn to redouble their exertions and
is seeking to enlist the sympathetic
cooperation and moral support of
shippers and commercial bodies
along it's lines.
Heavier car loading, quicker re-
lease and more intelligent use of the
box car equipment are the only
weapons the railroads have available
now to wage the great war, and VIC
tory can only be achieved in shippers
load and unload promptly, load cars
full, and assist Loyalty in every way
to make one car suffice to do the
work of two.
1t has been said that this is now
a Railroads war" The railroads Of
France saved that country in the
battle of the Marne American rail-
roads will preserve it. BY the use
of railroad systems it has been pos
sible to transport whole armies from
one front to another-a thing that
has kept Germany from defeat more
than once. The railroads are now
it possible to feed and sup
ply the millions of men in the field
to the extent hitherto undreamed Of
by military experts. Here in Ameri-
ca the railroads were the first to or
ganize on a military basis and it
was thru their agency that the can
comments were built, a million men
kept supplied daily and
everything that went to the allies
moved to the Atlantic seaboard.
Now we are approaching the peak
Of the war time freight movement.

AGED MAN ON TRIAL;
MURDER IN CHARGE

| IDAHO FALLS.-The trail of Will
liam Hawkins, charged with the
murder of R. Lee Rose at a sheep
camp near Gray's lake on June 10,
began Monday morning. Hawkins,
man 70 years of age, and Rose
were alone at the camp at breakfast
time. Hawkins had previously bor-
rowed a rife from the owner of the
sheep. He came to the owner of the
sheep and said he would quit, and
wanted his pay. He told the owner
there was no one with the sheep
and he had better look after them,
and left, taking the rifle he had bor-
rowed few days before.
Going to the camp the body Of
Rose was found lying near the
wagon, his mouth full of food. Haw-
kins was found about ten miles from
camp and arrested and has been con-
fined in jail since that time. Rose
was young man Of good habits and
had been in the camp for a long
time, while Hawkins had been there
only few days.

WHAT THE ARMY

now it is getting to be worldwide
Like the Red Cross it is known fol

to service for the other fellow. II
is endorsed by the men highest in
the government of the United States
and in the army and navy. 1t goes
with the men in the training camps
and keeps open house behind the
firing lines where men rest from the
strain of battles. The boys who
leave home in answer to the call to
duty are supplied with writing ma
terials and reading matter at the
~" and no matter how busy or
how dismal the camps, the "Y'' is
open with big welcome for them
at any time they can get to it. The
"Y" tries to take the influence of a
good home and maintain it wherever
the men are. 1t carries with it the
very opposite of the canteen and the
red light-twin evils to which SOL
diers have always been exposed in
other wars. But Uncle Sam will
have none of that now, and is doing
everything possible to maintain a
clean moral atmosphere at the camps
and for miles around.
The organization erects buildings
40x120 feet in size for a social
center or Hut" for serving certain
territory of the camp. Each million
men require 500 centers; 1000 ex-
perienced workers; 500 pianos; 500
motion picture machines; 500 talk
ing machines; $4,000 records;
100000 feet of films day; 3,OOO,-
600 sheets of paper a day; $4,000
chess and checker boards; $4,000
magazines a week; 100000 bibles
and testaments.
A hut" costs about $4,000 in the
United States, and when shipped to
France ready to set up it costs $751;
900. The "Y' is following the SOL
oilers to France, Russia and Italy,
and is planning to look after the
prisoners of war as we lose men to
the enemy's country. A soldier
writing from Camp Stewart says:

If the railroads can hold the first
