RAILROADS BUSY
MAKING PLANS
GREATEST TROOP MOVEMENT
IN HISTORY OF COUNTRY
BEING MAPPED OUT.
tiws

Plans for the largest troop move
ment ever scheduled in the history
oi this country are now being perfect
ed by the American Railway asso-
citation at the request of the United
States government Altogether 6S7,-
coo men will have to be transferred
TO the various environments that the
government is building to house the
new national army.
The movement will start Septem-
Der ). Between that date and Sep
tember 9 the railroads will complete
the entrainment of 100000 men or ap-
proXimately 80 per cent of the total
number scheduled to be moved to
the various training camps. 1t is eX-
pected that a second movement OF
approximately 200,0 men will begin
on September 10, continuing for four
days thereafter, and third move
ment of the same size on October 3.
Some conception of the magnitude
Railway association in preparing
schedules that will assure the safe
and prompt transportation of these
armies without interfering with reg
ular traffic may be CLEANED from the
fact that to move merely one field
army of 10000 men required 6,229
cars made up into 366 trains with
as many locomotives and train crews
Meanwhile in addition to moving the
GS7, 900 recruits for the national army
the railroads have been asked to sup
ply transportation for the $4,000
members of the national guard to
their training camps. This national
guard movement has already started
and will continue in increasing vol
ume until all have been moved.

REGULATIONS.

The following letter is published at
the request Of Capt G. V. Heidi, head
of the United States army recruiting
station in this district:
considerable confusion has result
ed from a misunderstanding on the
part of many men who are register
ed for military service under the
draft law. They are under the i'm
preston that after their number
have been drawn, they are no longe
able. under the law, TO volunteer. Thi
is not the case, as will be seen from
the fact that all numbers were draw
in the order in which they will BIZ
called to service should they be need
ed. 1t is tAc Gaze that after the loca
board has called. either by postin
number ard name, or notifying a reg
istered man, one may not volunteer
but must report for examination by
the local board and remain under
the jurisdiction of that board until
either accepted for service in the ma
tional army, CT furnished with com
plete discharge Even those who arc
given temporary exemption are not
permitted to volunteer. But so long
as the registered man has not been
notified, either by posting his name OF
otherwise, By his local board, he still
has the privilege of volunteering.
The war department has announc-
ed that all int1re commissions, with
the exception c. those to be given to
attendants at he second training
camps, will .G giVen to men in the
ranks of the regular army, the nation
al guard Or the national army. The
provost marshal general has recent
are not available for original appoint
ment to commissioned grades. There
fore, any registered man who desires
to secure a commission must serve
in the ranks OL~ene of the three
branches of the army before he has
any chance Of securing the desired
commission.
The general recruiting service of
the army is now charged with re-
cruiting for:
The regular army, the drafted ma
tional guard and the special and tech
nical units OF The national army
There are many opportunities in
the above list for men who desire to
serve their country as volunteers"

Conserving Bread and Meat.

Every citizen now realizes that
the two things in our food supply
that must be Conserved are bread
and meat. This can be effective
ly done only in their economical
use but also in using proper care
to protect and guard the supply.
1t is needless to say that now
is the time of all times when live
stock should be carefully protect
ed from disease. A loss of hogs or
other live stock of the meat pro-
ducing classes is not only loss
to the owner, but it is direct de-
crease in the food supply which
should have such careful guarding
at the present time.
A loss of food grains from i'm
proper care is another instance of
loss in the food supply. All food
grain should be watched very
carefully to see that it is remain
ing in proper condition. Food
grains should not be thrcshcd and
stored until they are in proper
condition, to store safely.
In many cases during the past
few months there have been Sc
we're losses of meat producing an
imals and food grains by fire. As
a part of our program of economy
greater precaution than ever
before should be taken to pre-
vent fires. Only in this way can
the losses of bread and meat to
the public be prevented.
Losses of the classes mentioned
above arc not such in all cases
that even the owner can protect
himself by insurance. and in no
case will insurance protect the
public. Just now the public is
interested in the bread and meat
itself and not in its value. While
every one of its citizens must be
protected against loss by any
means available to him. yet in ad-
dition to that it is his patriotic
duty just now to protect the bread
and meat supply OF the nation by
preventing its destruction il pos
siblc. because any food grains or
meat animals that are destroyed
are entirely lost to the public and
can not be restored. Guard the
grain and live stock with greater
care than is ordinarily used be-
cause the risk is now somewhat
greater than ordinary and it is a
patriotic duty. just now to do so.

Snapshots Of kaieidoseopIe Work.
In all the big cities in France where
our men pass through in large num-
bers, the Y. NJ c. A. is operating
hostels, where they can get beds and
meals at a minimum cost. In London
the American Y. NJ. c. A. mas erected
q large building for our soldiers and
clubhouse for American officers.
There are Y. NJ. C. A. dugouts right
behind the front line trenches. where
the soldiers can get hot drinks, crack.
ers and other comforts at all hours.
Over 1000 men who had been reject
ed on account of physical disability
have been able to get into the British
army by reason Of the physical work
Of the British Y. M. c. A.
A fleet of motor cars leaves the big
Y. M. c. A. headquarters in London at
midnight every night to pick up SOL
diers who are wandering about the
streets without any wholesome lodging
in which to spend the night. These
cars are operated by Englishwomen
OF position and refinement, who report
that they never meet any discourtesy
at the hands OF the soldiers. The i'm
portance OF this service can be esti
mated by the fact that at least $4,000
soldiers are on leave in London every
week. Over half Of these sleep In Y.
NJ. G. A. beds every night
Entertainment on Vast Scale.
