In the recent campaign for the sale

COURTESY IS RULE NO.
ONE SOUTHERN RAILWAY

Atlanta, Ca, February 10.-Courte-
sv is Rule No. on the Southern Rail-
way as shown in the new manual OF
rules and regulations for the guidance
of ticket and baggage agents, sondue-
tors, train and baggage men which
has just been issued.
Instructions both to station and
train employees begin with the fol-
lowing:
"a railroad is first of all a public
servant. It follows that the success
of railroad as business enterprise
depends, in a large measure, not only
upon the efficiency of the transporta-
ton it affords, but upon the personal
treatment which those doing busl-
ness with the railroad receive at the
hands of it's officers and employees" ="
The agent is reminded that at sta
tions he is the railway and that the
reputation of the company depends
on the courtesy with which the pup
lie is met Conductors and other
train employees are admonished not
only to be courteous to passengers
but to give responsive and intelligent
answers to questions about anything
that may happen on the road.

exceeded his authority in dealing WITH
the ships or their crews. The gov
ernments instructions have been that
legal technicalities should be waived
in order to avoid any appearance Oh
depriving the Germans Of any OF their
rights. This has been done at all
ports of the continental United States
and where officials in the Philippines
and elsewhere have undertaken IL
guard against the ships becoming
menaces to navigation, orders have
been issued to confine such efforts
strictly to surveillance with action
only when essential.
Germany's redetention Of the Var
rowdale prisoners, who had been
ordered released upon the demand or
the United States just before the
break in relations, has aroused keen
indignation, the incident almost over
shadowing temporarily other issues OF
the grave situation.
