RAILROAD RUMBLES
Navy to Build First
Government Railroad Line

Washington, Dec. II. - Members
of the House Naval Affairs Commit
tee are ready to approve the recon-
mendation of Secretary Daniels that
the Navy Department be authorized
to construct and operate a railroad
from the naval proving ground at
Indian Head to the District of Column
bia. If this project goes through, the
Navy Department will be in control
of the first government-owned rail-
road in the United States.
Secretary Daniels went before the
committee in behalf Of the legisla-
ton which he has proposed in con-
nection with this railroad. A private
firm had proposed to build and oper-
ate the road on condition that the
government advance $360,000 of the
total estimated cost of 100000 and
would agree to reimburse for this ad-
vance through freight and other
transportation charges.

SOME RELIEF IN
COAL SHORTAGE
Steelton Store Company Gets
Shipment of Fuel This
Morning

Some relief wass felt in the coal
shortage here this morning when
a shipment of coal was received by
the Steelton Store Company. Ship
ments expected by other dealers did
not arrive but are expected in the
next twelve hours.
According to w. e. Abercrombie,
general superintendent of the Steel
ton Store Company the families
where sickness exists in their house
hold are supplied with fuel at once.
Sales in bushel lots are being made
to persons who come to the ware
house for 1t.
Hampered by the shortage OF
teams and labor, it is impossible to
deliver the coal at once, Mr.. Aber-
crombie continued. With ten teams
working it will take a week to fill
all the orders by delivery. Mr.. Aber-
crombie said that they would be in
good shape on orders in several
days.
Although a shipment of coal has
been received no orders are being
taken as the amount will not be
sufficient to fill the list now on file
No orders have been taken since
last Wednesday and will not be
taken until the present ones are
filled and more coal in sight. Mr.
Abercrombie was of the opinion that
the situation is easing up bit.
At the office of Detweiler Brothers
in Front street, it was reported this
morning that no shipment of Goa
has arrived and 1000 orders are or
file to be filled. Many more orders
are being placed daily.

TRAIN SERVICE
OVER NEW LINK
Shorten Freight Traffic Con-
nectionS Over Cumber-
land Valley Lines

Shippensburg, Pa. Dec. 17.-With
the placing in service to-day of a
new link connecting the Cumberland
Valley Railroad with the Western
Maryland, a new record was estab-
lished. This link was completed in
ten days. 1t is eight hundred feet
long and is a valuable freight traffic
acquisition to both railroad lines.
The first train passed over the new
link about 10 o'clock.
This new extension will be used to
facilitate the movement of freight in
compliance with Government orders
for the more rapid handling of war
shipments, coal, etc, under the stress
of the times. The movement of
freight from the Western Maryland
over the new link will be much
quicker owing to the Cumberland
Valley having lower grade north OF
Hagerstown and the fact that the lat
mage with the same motive power.
Besides, the Cumberland Valley has a
double track to Shippensburg. where
delivery is made to the Philadelphia
and Reading. The link closes the
triangle formed by the Western
Maryland and the Cumberland Valley
where they cross at North Junction.
Work Started Dec. )
Work was commenced on the con-
nection on December with the un-
derstanding that it was to be COM
pleted by December 10. About 100
men have been constantly employed
facing the rigors of the severe win
TT weather. owing to the cramped
conditions, however, no large ma
chinery could be used, air drills ano
derrick being the only serviceable
machinery employed. The tracks
were put down Saturday.
The contractors were Mason and
Hanger. The construction was In
charge of Harry Carmichael, of Phil
adelphia.
The Mason and Hanger Company
are now building for the Cumberland
Valley two sections of track, one be-
tween Shippensburg and Oakville, a
distance of six miles, and the other
from S. o. Tower to North Junction.
The company built the double track
for the Western Maryland between

Colonel Wants ''to Do Ger
many as Much Harm
as Possible"

Camp sherman, Chillicothe, Ohio,
Dec. 17.-Camp Sherman hauled down
its colors to Colonel Theodore Roose-
Welt on the occasion of his visit here
Saturday. The former leader of the
Rough Riders took the officers of the
Eighty-third Division, by storm in an
address in which he made a threefold
plea for answering loyalty to the
flag, for a speedy pushing through
of the war to a complete and over
whelning victory and for permanent
preparedness.
professional paciiists" and ''con-
scientious objectors" were scathingly
arraigned by Colonel Roosevelt in
enthusiastically vigorous fashion.
He urged that Congress should pass
a law immediately providing for uni
versal suffrage on the basis of uni
versal service.
I'VE have n threefold duty at pres
eut," said Colonel Roosevelt; first
that of Amcricanizatiou. There is no
sucE thing as tifty-ftty loyalty.
Our business is to help this nation
and keep ii one nation and see that
it doesn't become n polyglot board
inghousc. l would send all men who
think primarily of the old country
back to it. And 1 should like to
send along with them some OF our
native born Americans.
q "Since we want to do Germany as
much harm as possible, 1 should like
to give her Senator LaFollette, to be
used in the Reichstag.
Secondly, we must put this war
through and with no end in view save
a complete and overwhelming vic
tory. The only way to gain Ger
many's respect is through fear. An
inconclusive peace would simply
mean that we should have to fight it
all over again"
His statement that the only safe.
permanent policy was to provide uni
versal obligatory military training
for every young man and to deny
the vote to each until he was able to
present q certificate showing he had
completed his military service. was
greeted with tremendous applause by
the 1000 officers.
Referring to the pacifsts Colonel
Roosevelt vigorously asserted that
all such, together with the conscien-
tious objectors, like the professional
anarchists, should be excluded from
the country.
