Well, General Goethats at last has

next And what do you suppose it is?
He will build roads. Just plain

for man of Cocktails calber. Many

from private corporations. Goethals
could easily get 100000 a year If he

With the elimation of the non-es-

by the people for their subsistence.

Great, however, as are the diff
culties which the railways are en-.
countering in their efforts to render
adequate service, it is believed that
If the government and the people
will be patient and will continue to
give the Arrangements of the rail-
ways their cooperation, most of
these difficulties will be overcome. "
This paragraph occurs IN state
ment just issued by the Railroads
War Board in which it outlines
some of the difficulties under which
the railroads are endeavoring to
perform an adequate service under
conditions never before experienced
in the history of railroading in the
United States.
The statement sets out that
the roads have. with practically no
increase in facilities, moved 16 per
cent more freight during the first
five months Of the war than for a
similar period in 1915, and that the
freight handled during the first six
months of the war was greater than
that handled in any one year prior
to 1917. These results have been
accomplished through cooperation.
II is also set out that 10000 car
loads of freight have been handled
for the National Army and National
Guard camps; that passenger traffic
is HEAVIER than ever known, and that
with cooperation of the shippers
equipment is being loaded nearer its
maximum capacity than ever be-
fore, but still room for improvement
Looking to relieving conditions, a
list of 525 commodities has been
prepared, the transportation Of
which is regarded as non.essential

list are $50 commodities whose
