TO TEST ARMY TRUCKS.
Quartermaster's Department Plans
to Aid in Freight Problem.

A train of Army motor trucks is on its
way from Detroit to Atlantic seaboard,
in a practical test of the Army's plan
for relieving congestion in freight ter
minals. Quartermaster General Sharpe
said II the plan proves successful it is
estimated that the total relief to the
railroads. through the shipment to the
coast under their own power of the
10000 war trucks the Army has under
construction. will amount to 500. 900
tons, and also will permit the transpor-
ton of 10000 tons of government ma
teriais to the coast from the interior
storage depots.
The plan will serve also another ur-
gent needy said Gen. Sharpe. that of
providing adequate opportunity for the
training of an effective corps Of trans
port drivers and officers. The trainine 2
which our men will receive in driyin 3
loaded Army trucks from factory TO
seaport under the trying conditions !
which will be encountered this winter
will, as nearly as possible, reproduce
the actual service conditions abroad"

lantry against the Indians in Arizona
he was awarded the congressional

needles to go to the poorest boy who

from Mrs. Sarah NJ. Nelson Of the Post
Offce Department. who writes: please
send this sweater to a shiyering boy
at Admission: 1t isn't home-knit. but l
hope il will keep him warm for a time;
bundle of eight sweaters and four
teen scarfs came from the war relief
committee of the Catholic Alumnae,'
Miss Edna J. Sheehy. 91S = street
northwest, chairman. From Miss Mary
W. Pierce. the Marlborough. came
pair of wristlets.
Mrs. Nelson's gift suggests that there
may be others who would like to make
a Christmas gift to District soldier
and who has no time, OF, perhaps, no
skill at knitting. to do the work.
Sweaters may be bought at the stores
and will serve quite as well as those
knitted at home. Thus men may join
in this worthy work of keeping the
shivering soldiers warm this winter in
the camps.
In another way help can be rendered
to flI the reauisition. Those who want
to contribute can send yarn or money
for the purchase of yarn. There are
several groups Of knitters eager to
work who have no funds for the buy
ing Of yarn and whose needles should
be kept busy. Therefore any person
who wants to do bit toward making
the District soldiers comfortable while
they are in training for the big task
"over there" may contribute cash to
The District Soldiers Sweater Fund"
in care of The. Evening Star, and all
such gifts will be promptly acknowl-
edged and put to immediate use.
Early giving Is desirable on two
grounds: First, because the sweaters
are needed now in the chilly camp at
Admission. and. second. because yarn is
rising steadily in price. Send the
checks quickly and they will yield a
bigger product than later.

no Study Problem.

1t is understood the President ex-
poets to give more time ~ the study
Of the railroad problem IT, week. The
principal problems involved -s-e fiscal
and legal. and that is why he has
sought the advice of Messrs. MoAdoo
and Gregory.
Other difficulties in the way of gov-
ernrnent control have cleared away.
The railroads have assured the Presi-
dent they will cooperate in any pro-
gram he may adopt. and they are seek
ing to carry out that promise to the
letter by abstaining from issuing any
statements that might influence public
opinion at this time. The brother
hoods. at first opposed to government
control, now are reconciled to it. and
they have SO informed the President.
Little doubt about the willingness of
Congress to give the President free
rein in this regard Is expressed II he
desires additional legislation it Is con-
sidered likely that he will get it II
Is the belief in many quarters that he
already has enough authority to exc
cute even the most drastic measures In
operating the railroads during the war

1t was indicated today that President

1t was intimated he would make his

ing the roads to continue operation
under his supervision, 1t is generally
conceded that he already has that
power.
The President also has consulted
Secretary McAdoo about the financial
problems involved in various phases
of government operation. These con-
ferences with the Secretary of the
Treasury gave rise to the report that
Mr.. McAdoo is being considered for
the railroad administratorship. This
possibility is somewhat discounted bv
the fact that the Treasury head already
has work that keeps him going at high

unlikely that he would be asked to
