SHIPPING DAY
in NEW FIELDS
Pennsy Inaugurates System in
NewJersey Territory; Issues
Guides and Posters

Pennsylvania railroad freight OFF,
cials to-day completed the revision
of it's methods of handling less than
carload freight, extending it to all
lines in Northern New Jersey. To-
day the shipping day" or Sailing
date" plan. which has been already
established in New York, Philadel-
phia, Buffalo and Baltimore, was
inaugurated at Trenton, Phillipsburg,
Easton. Bristol, New Brunswick and
other stations on the New York and
New Jersey divisions.
The custom of accepting freight in
less than carload lots indiscriminate-
ly at all stations, or at any time of
the day. for shipment to any point,
will be discontinued. Under the new
plan. which will be substituted in its
place. freight destined for various
points will be accepted only at speci'
fled stations and on designated days
furthermore, closing hours will be es-
tablished at the various stations,
ranging from 8 o'clock to o'clock
p. m, after which freight will not
be accepted for shipment.
Helps in Transfer
The purpose of the shipping day
or sailing date" plan, is to eliminate
as far as possible the rehandling OF
freight at transfer stations, and,
whenever practicable. to consolidate
less than carload freight into full
carloads at the point of origin. This
will reduce the time that freight. is
in transit. 1t will increase the num-
Der of cars available for both COM
mercial freight and government sup
plies, enlarge the capacity of the
whole railroad plant. release track
age and locomotives for troop move
ments and greatly lessen the liabil-
ity of loss and damage to merchan-
disc by eliminating rehandling after
the car is once loaded.
shipping day. guides have been
prepared for Trenton, Phillipsburg,
Easton, Bristol and New Brunswick.
For the other stations in this ter
ritory posters containing specific
schedules 70 reach individual station
have been issued. These guides and
posters give complete information as
to the days on which freight will be
accepted at any particular station,
for all parts of the United States and
Canada, as well as the closing hour
at each station for the various points
of destination.

RAILROAD RUMBLES
PENNSY LIBERAL
TO ALL EMPLOYEES
Grant Fucloughs and Will
Help All Men Called
to War Duty

Announcement is made from AL
toona that the Pennsylvania Rail-
road will take care of all employees
past and future who have been or
may be called for war duty. This
means the new men who are now
being hired to help out in the short
age of men in various departments.
1t promises to be a big help in get
ting new men, according to official
belief The Altoona Mirror says:
Reports have gotten in circulation
that only men in the service of the
railroad company for considerable
time would be granted furloughs on
enlisting. with their jobs to be kept
open for them until they return after
the war: but it was stated at the gem
eral offices of the company to-day
that length of service had nothing to
do with the granting of a furlough.
FurIOughs Granted
Ever since the war began the
Pennsy has granted furloughs to all
its employees who enter the Govern
ment service. whether in the actual
Army, Navy or Marine Corps, or in
any other branch of War Department
energy, and this policy will be con-
tinued throughout the war. Even IL
a man has only worked for very
brief period for the company his job
will be open for him when he comes
back.
In addition to the jobs being kept
open, the Pennsy will pay the relief
department fees of all men who enter
Uncle Sans service, as long as the
Government requires them, so that
no empIoye will lose his insurance or
benefits in the relief by enlisting or
being drafted.

Steel Companies Are

New York, Nov. 19.-That steel

more readily to distributors and are

IN FRENCH ARMY
TELLS OF THE WAR

A letter to Miss Bessie Snider
from her cousin, Dennison Paden,
with the American Ambulance Corps
in France, tells of thethrilling ad-
ventures and of the hardships I'M
dergone by the army men. The let
ter says:
We have to go to trenches quite
close to the front This morning,
March 8, when we went to the dug
out hospital near the trenches to
get the wounded the communication
trenches we had to go through were
fired on by the Germans. The shells
were flying about ten feet above
our heads Luckily they did not
touch the trenches but hit about
100 feet beyond. I was on duty the
other night and the road we were
travelling was being watched by the
Germans but they did not fire on
US They had a searchlight on the
road all night.
1--WE will probably stay here for
a long time because 1t Is one of the
most important sections on the
whole front line 1t is showing quite
hard and that makes the work more
difficult but everybody is anxious
to be on the go all the time.
1.-The other night we carried 230
men There were so many because
the Germans made an attack on the
French The French returned the
attack the next night SO we did not
have to carry so many We work in
three shifts so that we are on / 2
hours and then have "a hours to
rest and get the car in order. They
are very strict about gasoline so we
cannot run around at all.
Il had to get another pair of
army shoes and pay $l1 for them;
they are not worth 1t at all, but you
cannot get good shoes for love or
money. We have good quarters
here but they are cold as a barn.
| slept in the loft of barn my first
night and nearly froze to death.
am sleeping on a stretcher now and
il is very comfortable We have to
wear helmet and carry gas mask
when we go to the hospital We
haven't run into a gas attack yet.
but we have to be prepared for one
at any time. Each ambulance car
ries four men who are wounded but
can sit up, or three who have to lie
down. A report just came that the
French are going to attack the
Dutch. Hope they do and wipe them
out"

lie condemns twenty or thirty hens
and tells the farmer they will have
to be killed because they are dis
eased He very kindly offers to take
the chickens and do the killing
If the farmer consents the
man takes the chickens to the near
