HANDLING Of U. S. TROOPS
WAS BEST IN ALL HISTORY
Report Of Quartsrmaster General Com.
pllmsnts American Railways.
MILITIA MOVED PROMPTLY
splendid Results Attained by Cordial
Cooperation Of Railway En-
pIoyees and Officials With
War Department

washington, ID. C.--(Special.)-
There has been no case in history
where troops have been as well han
died and cared for as in the move
ment to the Mexican border during
the summer OF 1916, says the annual
report OF the Quartermaster General
of the U. S. Army, which has Just
been made public.
On behalf OF the railways, super.
vision of moving the troops was in
the hands Of special Committee on
Cooperation with the Military Author
tiles appointed by the American Rail.
way Association, at the request of the
War Department, and composed Of
Fairfax Harrison, president Of the
Southern Railway, chairman; r. H.
Ashton, president Of the Chicago and
Northwestern Railway; A. w. Thomp-
son, vice president of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad: w. G. Besler, pres.
ident of the Central Railroad Of New
Jersey.
The report tells of the uniformly
excellent handling given troops and
supplies through the cooperation OF
railway officials and employees Of ev.
cry rank with the War Department
officials. 1t states that to carry the
first 100000 of the National Guard
moved to the border. $50 trains, which,
IL combined, would have been nearly
80 miles long, were required, and that
they included 5000 passenger cars,
400 baggage cars, most OF them equip
ped as kitchen cars for serving hot
meals en- route, 1900 box cars, 1000
stock cars, and 500 fat cars. Approx
imately 1900 road locomotives and
crews had a part in handling this
movement, in addition to large mum.
ber Of yard engines and crews.
Striking sentences from the report
are as follows:
Considering the great distances
travelled by the militia from the vari-
Gus camps to the Mexican border, the
fact that there was but single ac-
cident, and that OF minor character,
the celebrity with which the trains
were moved and the entire absence
OF congestion or delay, it Is believed
that there has been no case In history
where troops have been as well and
safely transported or as we'll cared for
while en- route as in the recent mob
iliZation."
Every assistance possible was rem.
dered the Government by officials and
employees Of all railroads concerned,
from the presidents of the companies
down to the minor employees"
Although the movement Of the Or
ganized Militia to the border came
at a time when the commercial traf-
fic on railroads OF the United States
was the largest in years, the trans
portation Of the militia was performed
with very little interference with reg.
ular train service and with no conges.
tion whatever, either at initial or ter
minal points or en- route"
"It Is. OF course, impossible to com
pare the concentration of the United
States Militia on the Mexican border
with the mobilization In Europe in the
summer OF 1914. In Europe all civil
traffic wss stopped and the entire
railroad system given over to the mil.

FOOD CROP SHOULD

While live stock growing is benr

CLOSE MARGIN OF PROFIT
IN OPERATION OF RAILWAY
Large Amount OF Capital Risked For
Very Small Returns
OF VITAL INTERESTT0PUBLIC
Investors VIII Not Provide Money for
improvements Unless They Are
Assured a Reasonable Profit
on Their investment

Atlanta, Ga--(Special.)- )-The close
margin Of profit for railroad under
present conditions is strikingly shown
by figures submitted by President Har-
rison in the annual report Of South.
ern Railway Company for the fiscal
year ended June 30th, 1916. In the
most prosperous year Of the Compa-
ny's history the net operating income
($21, ,o04, ,005.09) represented only 5.3l
per cent on the investment ($395, 1922
7S5.06) in the railroad and equipment
which produced 1t.
1T may perhaps be said" said Mr..
Harrison, that there is no industry ex-
cept a railroad in which so large
capital is risked for such a return In
its most successful year."
At a time when the newspapers dsi-
ly are printing articles In regard to
increasing railroad gross earnings, as
indicating rising tide of general
prosperity, II Is well to bear in mind
the very small return on money in
vested in railroad property.
Many persons are misled into believ.
Ing that the railroads are fabulously
prosperous by the mere size Of the fig
ures in which the earnings of large
railroads are expressed, but It should
be remembered that an enormous sum
or money was required to construct
and equip their plants and that the
return on each dollar invested is rela-
lively small.
1t Is manifestly In the interest of
the employees of railroad and of
the public served that the railroad
secure new capital for additions and
improvements to its plant so that IL
may give better service and offer en-.
larged employment. However. this
can be accomplished only by allowing
the railroad to earn an amount on
the capital already invested sufficient
70 promise return on the additional
capital desired.
Governmental agencies may depress
rates and enact restrictive legislation
which will deprive the man who has
~NJ fA'SStSd OF a fair
, return on his investment, but no plan
has been devised for forcing the man
with money in the bank to put II
into railroad construction or improve.
ment. Unless the investment appears
attractive TO him and offers a fair
return he will put his money In soma
enterprise that cannot be affected bv
governmental agencies.
Every employee OF the Southern
Railway and every shipper served by
1t who recognizes his true interest will
do what he can to insure such a re-.
turn on the capital now invested in
the Southern Railway as will make the
securities Of the Company more ar.
tractive to investors. so the Company
will be able to secure the additional
capital needed to carry on a consist.
emily constructive program which will
/ mean increased prosperity for every
interest In the territory served by IL
