RAILWAY REGIMENTS
TO HAVE SMOKES

Makers OF and dealers in railway
supplies have started nationwide
movement to provide $4,000 worth
OF smoking tobacco weekly for the
railroad officials and employees who
enlisted to construct and operate mil
itary railroads in France and other
allied countries.
Already nine railway regiments
have been raised. They have the
distinction OF being the first organ
lied contingent from the United
States to get into active war SER
vice in France. While building and
running the lines which carry mum
itions and other supplies to the
French front they have been the
targets of German artillery and air
men, but so far no casualties are re-
ported.
France has appealed for more Am
erican railway men and engineers,
and several regiments will be raised.
