BY FAIRFAX HARRISON
Chairman the Railroads War Board.

During TIE coming winter American
railroads viii face the greatest trans
po-tatlon problem in their history.
The war demands have increased the
railroads burden virtually over night
by millions Of tons OF freight.
Some conception OF this may be
CLEANED from the fact that the add
tlonal service demanded this year is
equivalent to carrying 100 billion tons
Of freight one mile.
This Increase alone IS more than the
combined freight traffic for one year
OF Great Britain, France, Austria, Rus
sia and Germany.
Moreover, frankly the railroads will
have 10 handle 1t with inadequate IA
cllities Cars, locomotives, terminals, all
the other equipment, track space-can-
not be built over night.
To make the situation more diflcult.
practically al the steel which can be
spared for locomotives and cars has
been appropriated for use abroad eth
err by the United States or by our
allies AS q result United States rail-
roads must face their task with prao-
tically no Increase in equipment.
Despite conditions, the railroad army
is not pessimistic. Il is, on the CON
trary, still on TIP toe 10 control the
tremendous traflc so suddenly thrust
upon 10. But all railroad men now re-
cognize that to keep pace the rail-
roads viii not only have to increase

Those who contend the draft law in
itself is unconstitutional rely on the

bids involuntary servitude, baslng their
argument on the contention that en-

ment urged by Thomas Watson. Of

SPAN OF TWO LONG LINES.

The late Henry Gassaway Davis
once a vice presidential candidate,
saw and heard as a boy in Baltimore
in 1928 the ceremonies at the official
beginning of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad.
The parsonage of the occasion, the
driver Of NE first spike,'' as we
should say nowadays, was the last
surviving signer Of the Declaration
Of independence, the richest American
of the eighteenth century, the great
gentlman and illustrious patriot
Charles Carroll of Carrollton.
Born in 1897 Charles Carroll had
yet four years to live. Thus these
two lives are an arch of nearly 1870
years between the American colonies
of George lis time and the third
year of Mr. Wilson's administration,
when Mr.. Davis long life came to an
end. The year Of his birth was
1928
A mere two dozen or such lives as
CAROLS and Davis, a dozen of their
united span of years, would take us
back to the first Punic war. Charles
Carroll and Henry Gassaway Davis,
who saw him, together take us from
the sedan chair period to that of the

WAR and RELIGION

What effect will the war have upon
religion? Will the hold Of Christian
ity upon the world be increased or di-
minished by this bloody struggle
These are questions which open up
many lines Of speculation, but the
answers depend largely upon the out
come of the war. History shows that
as a general rule, Ia victorious war is
usually followed by period of relig-
ious exaltation for the victors, while
among the vanquished there is usual
ly a pronounced tendency toward the
decay of faith. The heretical ten
denotes of the Germans, which were
coupled with political radicalism and
republicanism, were very pronounced
in the decades preceding the Austro-
Prussian and the Franco-Prussian
wars After the latter struggle the
victorious Teutons became noted for
their piety, and, except for few in
tellectuals, opposition to Christianity
and its teachings was almost unknown
until the socialist movement became
powerful In France, on the con-
trary, religion began to decay. Beat
en- in battle, the French began to lose
faith in the religion of their fathers
and the irreligious philosophy of the
revolutionary era was revived in in
fidel France" That German tri-
umph would bring about a great re-
vival Nof religious feeling may safely
be predicted, and the same is prob
ably true of Russia. In France it is
doubtful if victory would haye this re-
suit. It is a government and an army
largely headed by freethinkers which
are fighting the battles of France, and
which would claim the applause show
cred upon the victors. The Anglo
Saxon. is little affected in his relig-
ious views by war, and, In past wars
of Great Britain and the United States,
religion has neither gained nor lost
any advantage.
