For Military Training

portunity for the expression Of our
fidelity as a state to national ideals"
In discussing the state prison situa-
ton the Governor recommended that
more prisoners be used in highway
work and that the stone quarry opera
tons at Great Meadow be enlarged.
He called attention TO the fact that
steps were being taken now to supplant
the antiquated Sing Sing institution.
In this respect he said:
"The commission which ! appointed
pursuant to the provisions Of Chapter
594 of the Laws Of 1916 will soon select
a site for a new prison and proceed 10
erect additional accommodations for
those confined in state prisons. It is
essential that adequate appropriations
be made TO carry on this necessary
work.
AS a solution Of the problem Of the

/ said: "My judgment is that the state

old fashioned wayside station it is
often necessary to allow two hours.
Entraining is the ruling factor in
calculating troop movements, since
detraining does not take quite so
long.
Capacity of Lines.
The maximum normal capacity of
double-tracked line of railway in
England is figured by the military
specialists at six trains per hour each
way. In the early days of the war,
the trains containing the British ex-
peditionary force were run into the
docks at intervals of twelve minutes,
or at the rate of five per hour. On
line. three trains
hour can be worked each way
The principle adopted in moving
troops by train is that each train load
should be a complete subdivision of
a military unit. The size of such a
train load is definitely limited by the

WAR IMPROVES TRAIN
SERVICE IN ENGLAND
Standardization of Rolling
Stock Is One of Many
Results.
PLATFORMS WID E R
Rural Stations Are Rebuilt
to Expedite Entraining
of Troops.

Correspondence of the Associated Press
LONDON. Sept. 29.-One of tn,
greatest of war efforts has been il
the department of railway transport
both at home and abroad. Very littl,
has been said about this work, per
haps because it has gone on steadily
silently and unobserved. Some time
ago Aristide BRAND, then premier Of
France, visited a great railway work
shop behind the British lines in
France. THE great fault 1 have to
find with you English" he said upon
that occasion, lis that you do enor-
nous things, but nobody has any
idea of what you are doing"
At home, the war has put tre-
mendous strain on the railways. 1t
was an instance of Britains military
unpreparedness that military and
strategic considerations found no
place before the war in her railway
systems and management. The rail-
ways lacked uniformity. For exam
pie. there were three different types
of air-brake in use. so that rolling
stock of different companies often
could not be made up into one train
The width of cars and the clearance
space between tracks varied consid-
erably. Very few stations had ade-
quate platform accommodation for
rapidly entraining troops.
Old Platforms Replaced.
During the three years of war,
much progress has been made under
government control of the railways
toward standardization and such re-
as was feasible to reme-
dy the most serious shortcomings.
This is frequently noticeable at rural
stations, where platforms of the type
most suitable for military use have
replaced the old suburban platforms
and given military air to the 9TH
erwise peaceable countryside.
The proper platform for entaining
loops is wide one running the whole
length of the longest train. From
such a platform troop trains can be
loaded at the rate of one an hour. I
and this rate can be improved upon
with practiced troops. Where a rail- /.
way station possessed the most up-to- .
date platform facilities, such as all !
British stations will have by the time
The war is over, it is possible to load
.wo train simultaneously. and such a
station is called, in military parlance,
/ 'half-hour station" At an ordinary

THE PRO.AMERICAN

The American people today heal
much of the terms, Pro-German. Pro
British and similar expressions. The
terms have been used almost since
the beginning of the war and have
represented to some people a loyalty
to the United States, to some a re-
gard for one country at war in dis
elimination against another, but to
many a split in sentiment carrying
with it favoring one country with
out proper consideration for the
United States.
After all, why a Pro-British, a Pro-
French or Pro-Russian, even though
ii is fact that this country is at the
present time an ally of these three
powers? They are not primarily, or
even in a lesser sense, Pro-American,
except as they must be in a mere
business agreement. True they are
and were friendly to this government,
but not for a minute were they so ex-
cept when it was to their own best
interests to be friendly.
The United States is a world power
fully deserving of place along with
England, France and Russia. Her
navy, army. resources. all may be ia
vorably compared with those of any
nation. Why, then. an apparent look
ing up to the European powers? Why
the term Pro-British. Pro-French, as
applied to any American? In the

/ASAGRICULTURAL MOSES

Hp|Northeast Missouri they call hin
An Agricultural Moses"-his name i
Rudolph Miller The era he prophe
sled twenty years ago is here ant
those who believed in him and hi
teachings and followed him are nov
in the Land of Promise.
Miller came from Denmark; hi
found the creamery business abOu
played out in Missouri. Cows were al
right-every farmer should have one
or two. The farmers wife and his
daughters could look after the milk
and butter, but for a farmer to fool
with cows was a waste of time
Miller began preaching the doctrine
of restoring fertility to the WORKOUT
soil, and incidentally restoring the
bank account of the farmer, by select
ing high grade stock and starting
dairy farms. Some of the farmers
ventured into the new field by buying
a few dairy COWS. Then the North
east Missouri Industrial and Agricul-
tural Association was started
The officers of the association visited
prosperous agricultural centers and
wrote to agricultural experts. From
all sources came reports backing up
Miller's doctrine. Then the farmers
listened to the Agricultural Moses"
in earnest and made generous invest
ments in high grade cattle.
In the last twelve months the farm
ers of Northeast Missouri have pur-
chased more than 1,500 first-class
dairy cows and have organized twen-
ty-five calf clubs to interest the boys
in raising dairy stock. Now a fund
of $4,000 has been raised to promote
the dairy interest of the section.
This Moses" came from far-away
Denmark, where the farmers raised
dairy cattle intensively and became
experts. The Missourians listened,
doubted, listened some more and
then tried; now they believe.
