Plans for the largest troop movement
ever scheduled in the history Of this cOun-
try are now being perfected by the Ameri-
can Railway Association at the request Of
the United States government. Altogether
$4,000 men will have to be transported
to sixteen environments that the govern
ment is building to house the new national
army. The movement will start Septem-
Der S. Between that date and September 8
the railroads will complete the entrainment
of 100000 men, or approximately 80 per
cent of the total number scheduled to be
moved.
II is expected that second movement
Of approximately 100000 men will begin
September 10. continuing for four days
thereafter. and third movement Of the
same size on October 3. Some conception
Of the magnitude Of the task confronting
the American Railway Association in pre-
pairing schedules that will assure the safe
and prompt transportation Of these armies
without interfering with regular traffic may
be cleaned from the fact that to move
merely one field army Of 10000 men re-
quires 1929 cars made up into 366 trains
with as many locomotives and train crews.
In addition to moving the 687 900 recruits
for the national army. the railroads have
been asked to supply transportation for
the $4,000 members of the national
guard to their training camps.

Briarley Forging Ahead.

The enrolment for the coming session
at Briarley Hall Military Academy, Pooles-
vile, Nd. has this early passed all pre-.
vious marks and everything points to the
greatest year that this most excellent in
stitution has experienced.
Many improvements about the buildings
and grounds have been made and all is in
readiness to greet the coming class. The
officials of the school report that many
States will, as usual. be represented, boys
being enrolled from Alabama, New York
Maine. West Virginia. Virginia. District Of
Columbia, Illinois. New Jersey. Ohio. Penn
sylvania and Maryland.
The Academy has completed five years
of splendid work and has established an
enviable reputation the country J,er for
its thorough instruction. high ideals, beau
tiful, spacious campus and up-to-date
equipment.
Graduates Of BriarIey Hall are attending
the leading colleges Of the country and are
rejecting credit upon their school. Others
who chose sooner to enter business circles
are succeeding in a way which speaks well
for their training.
Briarley Hall was founded in 1912 by its
head, Captain Sydney j. Lodge, and has
from its birth been absolutely military in
discipline and routine. The military de-
partment at this school is no mere side
issue, installed to answer popular call
during these trying times 1t has ever
been military and ever will be. its authOri-
ties having been convinced many years
ago that no boys school should be minus
this training. which today is recognized as
being a necessity. Besides the regular
Infantry drill. the Briarley cadets spend
much time upon the target range, in camp
and wall-scaling. During the coming SEES
sion many new phases OF military life will
be taken up and studied. Regular class
recitatiOns in Infantry Drill Regulations
will be held.
Though distinctly military. the schedule
Of the school is arranged so that academic

the same holds true OF the cadets athletic
life.
Briarley athletic teams have made envi-
able records in the past and have been
known for their clean. sportsmanlike tao
tics upon both foreign and home fields.
A thorough one-year Commercial Course
is now offered by the Academy and many
cadets from distance have enrolled in
this department.
The faculty for the coming session has
been chosen with infinite care from a large
field All are experienced instructors and
are degree men from leading colleges and
universities.
A new catalOg, view-bOok and two addi-
tional booklets Of information may be had
for the asking. 1t is sincerely hoped that
more Montgomery county parents will look
well into this Institution. which has -four
ished and made good within their midst
for five years, before sending their sons
further from home.

Farewell To Company X.
Silver Spring. Md. Adjust 81. 1871

Silver Spring, Nd, August 81, 1917.
Mr.. EDITOR AN impressive farewell to
the brave soldier boys Of Company X was
given by the citizens Of this county on
Friday afternoon and evening Of last week
at their camp at Silver Spring. From every
part of this county the loved ones and the
friends of these boys came to hear this
public farewell.
A baseball game between a team from
the company and the famous Brookeville
Tigers" was the first event of the after
noon. The soldier boys won, and the man
ner in which their comrades cheered them
on to victory reflected the real comrade-
ship existing between the men.
After the game was over. the company
formed in military fashion. and followed by
three or four hundred friends. marched
through the beautiful grounds Of the home
of Senator Blair Lee to their camp. Reach
ing there, splendid drill was given by
the company, upon the conclusion of which
the boys were brought before speaker s
stand and there, seated on the grass, they
listened to eloquent words Of farewell and
Godspeed by prominent men of this county.
Mr.. j. Dawson Williams was the first
speaker and introduced those who followed
him. Mr.. Williams said the people Of the
county could not let their soldier boys
leave their homes. their loved ones and
friends without public word Of farewell
and GOdspeed. and in graceful speech,
sincere and earnest. made certain to the
boys they would not be forgotten.
Mr.. Charles W. Prettyman was the next
speaker, and babe them keep their bodies.
their hearts and minds clean while away
from home association.
Senator Blair Lee and Judge Peter were
each introduced by Mr.. Williams as having
given two boys to the service Of their
country. Judge Peter made feeling adj
dress and said, while it was true his boys
had enlisted, that was no sacrifice COM
pared to what the boys before him were
to make. as they were willing. If need be,
to sacrifice their lives.
Darkness was fast setting over the an
cestral home of Blair Lee when he was
introduced to speak. His son Brooke is the
captain Of the company. and it was APP
parent to everyone how deeply he felt the
seriousness of the hour and Of the event.
He expressed his sincere gratitude that
all factionalism, all party strife. had
been put behind for all time and the event
made one long to be remembered.
Mr.. H. Maurice Talbot delivered the last
address. an eloquent and mastery one.
Darkness had settled when Mr.. Williams
concluded the farewell by asking that the
company arise. and. with all heads bowed,
Senator Lee walked to the front Of the
platform and he and Mr.. Williams led the
gathering in repeating the Lords Prayer
No soldier boys ever marched away with
more fitting goodbye and Godspeed than
the boys of Company X. and none will be
more joyously received when the war Is
ended than the same boys when they come
marching home.

Saved Tho Use or Many Cars.

Heavier loading enabled the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad TO save the use OF g.
238 cars in the handling Of less than car
load freight In July compared with the
same month last year. At the same time
the company handled 10000 more tons OF
this class Of freight in 1000 less cars, ac-
cording to the report Of the transportation
department which has just been complied.
Efficiency Of this sort is contributing
largely to the ability Of the railroads to
meet transportation requirements Of the
government In helping win the war while
providing the service called for by abnor-
NAL business needs Of the country.
Last month the Baltimore and Ohio han
died 1898, $50 cars in freight trains, $685.
884 Of which were loaded. While the
loaded car movement is indicative Of the
general business activity, hot weather in
terfered somewhat. II is expected that
the company will handle more than i.000,'
900 loaded cars monthly during the fall.
