WHY YOUR TRAIN WAS LATE.

AhC ANAho bdSlHcSS Is q
I that has given couriers in the old
world the right of way for many CEN
turies. An equally terse statement
may be offered by American railroads
for the delays of passenger and
freight trains in the last few months.
During the first period of the war, up
to and including October 30. a total
Of III. 469 cars containing government
supplies had been hauled from every
section Of the United States to vari-
Gus designated points. The six
teen National Army cantonments
required 1927; the sixteen Nation
al Guard camps, 2s.335; the thir-
teen aviation training camps, 6,s1S;
all other camps, 1854; the quar-
termasters' Training Camp. 81, and
the various ordnance, food, Council
OF National Defense and army annex
buildings demanded and received 47s
railway cars of every character. Some
idea Of what such a drain on the
available car supply means may be
obtained by an analysis of the figures.
Thirty cars are supposed to make up
one train Therefore. 3.74S trains are
represented in the total number of
cars utilized for government work up
to the present month. The average
lcHSIH VI inc cars was approximately
forty feet. This means that the ship
ments, If sent at one time, would have
required q train long enough to reach
from New York to Chicago. The en-
gine Of such train. sent from New
York to the South. would arrive in
Jacksonville, Fla. few minutes after
the caboose passed through Philadel-
phia- The cars and engines would fill
four tracks between New York and
Boston. or monopolize all space on
double-track system between Boston
and Washington. The train would be
longer than the distance between Ber-
lin and London. In view of these fig
ures it Is not surprising that Ameri-
cans have been annoyed by upset train
schedules since the United States di-
verted its genius for business to the
conduct of war.
