RAILROAD RUMBLES
Railroads Do Good Work
in Handling Soldiers

Coincident with the start of the
Third division of the new National
Army for the training camps to-day,
the Railroads War Board issued the
Following statement In connection
with the part which the railroads
have played in handling the biggest
troop movement ever attempted in
this country.
Including the National Guard, the
Regular Army and tho new National
Army, the railroads to date have
moved approximately 10000 SOL
diers from their homes to training
camps or embarkation points.
The great bulk of this Army-all
of 1t, in fact, except the 32.54 men
included in the first five per cent. of
the National Army that moved by
regular train on September 5-has
required special train service, in
volving the use of 800 passenger
cars, including 1900 Pullman and
tourist sleepers, 1000 baggage cars
and $500 freight cars.
The troop movement problem has
| been most difficult to handle, as 1T
comprises not only the movement of
the men selected for the National
Army to the National Army canton
mentS, but the movement of hun
| dreds of thousands of troops in the
National Guard and the Regular
Army as well. either to training
camps or embarkation points.
Some slight conception of what
this problem means may be deduced
| from the fact that in the National
Army movement alone the railroads
have had to prepare special sched-
ules covering the 4,531 towns and
cities designated by the Provost
Marshal General as the points OF
local concentration from which the
recruits to the new National Army
proceed to their cantonments.

COOPERATION
BRINGS RESULTS
Big Saving in Freight Cars on
Pennsy During July;
Records

How the cooperation of the
shipping public made possible a saw
ing of moro than $4,000 freight cars,
in single month, on the Pepnsyl-
vanla Railroad lines east of Pitts
burgh and Erie, is strikingly shown
by report on freight car loading,
which has just been compiled for
the month of July, 1917. AS a result
of the campaign to make freight
cars do more work, and of the will
ingness of shippers to aid in this
dire ection, the average load carried
per car in July of this year was SO. 81
tons. In July. 1916, the average
was 1887 tons.
The improvement this year was
391 tons per car, or more than 13
per cent, which means that the
shipping public made 13 per cent
better use of the freight car facil-
tiles of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
This effected n saving of S1,26S cars
in the number required to handle
the traffic of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road lines east, during July of the
| past summer.
Helps Railroad
| The saving achieved by this CO.
operation on the part of shippers
not only enabled the Pennsylvania
Railroad to handle n much larger
amount of commercial business than
would otherwise have been possible
with the facilities at hand, but .also
| aided materially in rendering effi-
cient military transportation serv.
| ice to the government. This applied
especially to the carrying of ma
| terials for the construction of the
various cantonments which were IL
process of building throughout the
| summer months.
While definite figures are not as
yet available for any period Later
than July, it is the belief of the
| management that when the result:
for August and September are as
certained, it will be found that al
even greater improvement in freight
| car loading has been achieved.

tering will be done by Cameron, of
the Engineers Society and the Colo
nial Club, and while the menu will

took the meeting by storm, and
5Ereeably surprised every one there
by his evident grasp of the situation
and determination to perform his task
successfully.

to-day when Il. J. Hockenbury wired
from Milwaukee. Wis, asking for a
place to be reserved for him. Other
members have reserved by wire and
telephone from Washington. ID. c.,

be made following the fiotation of the
second Liberty Loan.
This second war relief fund for the

pie will be asked to contribute, is de-
signed TO carry forward on an en-
larged scale what is now being DONE
in the event that the conflict shall
rage through next year.
1t appears, however, that the Red
Cross has not realized the full $11S.-
600, 600 which was counted upon Some
cities, especially New York, counted
in as contributions the total of Red
Cross dividends declared by many cor
porations. There could be no more
than a moral obligation upon the
recipients Of such dividends to pay
them over TO the Red Cross.
