RAILROAD PATRIOTISM

That the railroads are rendering the gov
eminent excellent service none will deny.
They are handling more freight than ever
before, running more cars IN each train
and loading more freight in each car
There is need for all available transporta-
ton and that the railroads are striving to
provide it is commendable. But the rail
road managers are no more to be COM
mended than the farmers who planted
additional acres to wheat. or the steel
maker who runs his plant on three shifts
to meet the unusual demand. The rail-
roads are not rendering their additional
service gratis. Each pound of freight
crowded into a car and each car added to
a train means increased net earnings War
requirements have taught the railroads
new measures of efficiency and new oppor-
tunities for operating economies. For the
railroads to move all the freight their
equipment will handle is simply good bust
ness and is worthy of praise as such, but
is not to be. credited wholly to patriotism
on the part of the railroad managers.
From the viewpoint of the travelling
public, it is not patriotic at all. To the
man Inconvenience by shortened sched-
ules and who finally gets on a train rum
ming several hours late. it seems that the
railroads are actuated more by desire to
make money than to give the best service
possible.
Service is poor and, seemingly, growing
worse, so far as passenger traffic is con-
cerned, but there is little harsh criticism
The American people, especially those who
travel, are both fair-minded and patient
the fretters and tuners who cuss the rail
roads SO roundly are mostly transients and
shouldn't be classed with the regular trav-
e1ers. The seasoned travellers are willing
to accept any necessary inconvenience that
will help win the war. but it does rather
get on their nerves to hear all the talk of
the patriotism of railroads. while they
through putting up with the bad service, in
addition to paying the bills-feel that they
are the ones who should get the praise.

FRANK T. DREHER WANTS
GET BACK TO DIXIE LAND
Dear Journal

Dear Journal
wish I was in Dixie, do, for the
past fourteen days have been far from
agreeable. Ten days Of rain and hail
have caused about 10 per cent of our
men to suffer from sore throoat and
severe colds. It's all in the making
of a soldier tho, so we are ready to
endure most anything and take :
chance.
I consider myself fortunate in
getting with such a congenial body
of men who form our company. About
95 per cent are from the south. every
southern state is represented. The
other seven companies are made ur
of men from all over U. S.
We were all surprised by a visit
from a Canadian aviator of the Royal
Flying Corps. He arrived here at
noon last Thursday and spent several
days, making a beautiful landing and
flight afterward.
The Journal reaches me every
night and after reading the editorials.

ment of the men in service and the
weather report; begin to feel rather
homesick for Pensacola.
Sacketts Harbor, where Madison
Barracks is located, was made famous
during the war of 1912. An old his
tS>fc battlefield is on the outskirts
of the town and is visited by all new
Corners.
DR.. Guthrie, the discoverer Of
chloroform, was born in this town
and the people don't forget to men
ton it to a visitor. Several old houses
built in 1912 and 1914, are still stand
ing.
Every man in our company is
anxious to get settled and in France
and hope to have their wishes grant
ed by January.
Tomorrow we will receive our
''near-trench" shoes with hob nails
decorating the bottoms.
will make this brief letter as Tn

hope this finds you and all the men

HICKORY CAMP HIS
CAY NIGHT OF It

Hickory Camp No. II, w. O. W.,
had a gay old time last night when
a number of candidates were put
through the mysteries of the forest
and, it was claimed, everything in
the shop was given the new choppers,
as one of the Woodmen stated it.
Some of the old-timers were on the
job, and1when the new candidates
were finally allowed to rest, it is
claimed that they first wanted to
think it all over before they finally
settlel down and realized that it was
all o.,
Hickory camp is now enjoying quite
an addition in membership, and the
plan to conduct limitations on Thurs
days, when the business sessions are
held the night before, is meeting
with quite a lot of success. After
the initiatory ceremonies last night
refreshments of cake, coffee and sand
witches were enjoyed.

Germany-the real Germanv-is firing
of the war. The people are beginning to
see through the duplicitv of the war party,
they are slowly realizing that they cannot
win and that further struggle is a useless
sacrifice Of lives and money. They have
given up hope of territorial aggrandize-
ment and enormous indemnities from
France, England and America. The vision
of worldwide commercial supremacy is
vanishing and they are awakening to the
cold reality of ultimate defeat

faith of the German people in their leaders,
In some districts it is still strong, but
there are indications that it is wavering
