New York October 3-(Speciai) )-Si- lently and with well guarded secrecy the railroads of the United States, operating in full coordination as a single unit. have matched. according to high au- thority for the statement the highest railroad efficiency that was reached in England al least year after the war be- gan, and that was established in Ger many before the outbreak of the war. For the railroads of the United States have since September 1 transported to various cantonments several hundred thousand troops. This was done without
 interfering perceptibly with customary passenger traffic and in the movement of great quantities of freight. All that the public knew was that troops had de-
 parted from their recruiting places or
 home towns and in the course of few
 hours or a day or two at most were es-
 tablished in the camps to which they were assigned
 The wonderful efficiency of the German
 army at least in the first two years of the war; was in great measure due to the
 speed and facility with which great mum bers of troops moved by rail from one
 point to another. The German govern
 ment owned and operated the railroads
 and the empire has been occupied for years In perfecting it's transportation fa- cilities so that they could be thoroughly
 unified.
 In March of this year the various Ar,aricon roflu,ov cvetens Uera nnera f. ing under stringent government regula-
 tion and statutes which semed to compel competition in one way, and seemed to prohibit competition in another way. The systems were at heads and tails, so to speak, for far as their relation one to the other was concerned.
 l Late in April shortly after we entered 1 the war the railway managers, acting
 under a pledge by the presidents of the ] American railroads and with the assur- ance that the government would not 1n- I terfere but would cooperate, appointed 1 a committee of five, whose duty 1t was to I coordinate the railroads of the Unlteo | States, so that they might be operated 1 as far as possible as a unit to the end | that the greatest possible efficiency as
 well as economy could be secured. Al 1 that Germany accomplished after years l of preparation and England obtained after calling an American railway man ager to aid in mobilizing English rail' roads for war purposes, has been accom- 1 plised by this small committee of railway l managers which sits every day in tht l week at Washington.
 The movement of troops which has beer ] accomplished this month is one or the best of the demonstrations Of what cal be achieved by private ownership or rail
 roads under highly competent leadership and through a practical suspension Of al I most all of the statutes which heretofore have so greatly embarrassed the American | railroads. l Before the end of the year 1t will DC possible to report with some detail many other remarkable achievements Tn ra.i al
 wa,, onerat tion under a substantial unifi | cation of the American railroads.

Smokes For Nurses, .
 the Latest Slogan

WNT LILLE the fighting man at the WV front has been given the solace of tobacco, the needs of the Red Cross nurse seem to have been overlooked. As a result, a call has been issued for cigarettes, says a New York dispatch, which the angels of mercy may puff while off duty.
 The cigarette has come to play an important role in war. Your dare devil aviator must have little white destroyer" the moment he lands on terra firma after thrilling battles in the air with the Boche. The weary, mud stained soldier in the trenches finds nepenthe, of sort, in few whiffs from cigarette, while back of the lines it is almost a universal panacea.
