Railroad Revenues
500, 900, 900 Less
For Five Months

WASHINGTON, July .. Reduction
of t0S,196,S36 in the operating in
come of -l23 of the largest railroads
during the first FIVE months under
government control. compared with
the same period n year ago, was an
nounced to-day by the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
In May, last of the five months. the
roads were beginning to recover the
paralyzing effects of blizzard and en-
bargoes. and the operating income rose
to point nearer last years figures.
For the five months the total was 1885,
9Si la, compared with S295. .1S3.97O
curing that period last year, and for
May it was S64,276,S05, against s76.-
29o,6S0 last May.
In spite of the reduced operating
income, revenue of the roads actually
was larger for the five months this
year than last. 1t was $1,390, ,2S2,-
020, compared with $1.274. 4.97O.49S, Civ
ing margin which was more than
For May operating revenues were
1913 ,790,lS1. as against $2S4,7S2, $50 in
1917. Operating expenses for May,
1918, were $236,6SS,368, against $780,
793, ,l4O for May, 1917. The net rcve-
nue. from railway operations during
May, 1918, the commission found, was
$7|,l0l,Sl3, only $lO.OO0,O00 below the
net revenue in 1917, which was $751;
9S9,A10.
In reporting the figure on which gov
ernment compensation is based, which
is the railroad operating income less
certain debts for equipment and joint
facility rents, the commission found
that the net income of the 1923 rail-
roads for May, 1918, was 61,OO2,511,
against $75,57o,s2 in May, 1917.
Operating income of the Eastern
roads was $31,1s6,615 in May, 1918,
against S3S,923, ,4Ss. In the Western
district it was S22,565, 5,444, against $685.
334,0sS. Southern roads, with S1O,-
524,746, in May, 1918, against $9033,-
O54, exec eded the operating income fig
ure for the previous year.
Railway operating revenue, as re-
ported by the commission, is the net
figure between operating revenues and
operating expenses, after tax charges
and uncollectible revenues are sub
tracted. During May, 1918, the COM
mission found that railroad tax ac-
cruals were s12,794O32, against SILL
657, ,l39 fer May. 1917.

Homesickness Is Manifest
in Army Abroad, Says
Returned Investigator
Home News Sought
Fighters Are Cheered Up When
They Learn That Folks
Here Are Behind Them

"if every mother, wife and sister
would on the same day write sadly to
their men serving with the expedition
sry forces, in Europe that Little Willie
has the tonsillitis,' we would lose the
war"
This is the view of an American ma
jor general serving abroad of the i'm
portance Of the morale OF his men as
rejected by the news they get in their
letters from home.
Fred B. Smith, who has recently re-
turned from the fighting lines, said
this al luncheon yesterday at the
Lawyers Club given by H. L. Pratt,
vice president of the Standard Oil Com
pany of New York. Mr.. Pratt had in
yited leaders of industry and the pro-
fessons to bring to their attention the
urgent need of getting 1000 men of
the right sort for overseas service in
the Y. NJ. C. A.
"0ur men over there are in the dark.
They don't know how things are going.
They are homesick and lonesome. and
f;lhey need encouragement" said Mr.,
Smith. A thousand men are needed
within six weeks to help them. so that
the Y NJ. c. A. can continue to reach
every man in the army and care for
lheir needs"
"Our boys are being we'll cared for
as far as morals are concerned" Mr..
Pratt said. But they are terribly home
sick. They're the bluest bunch of BOYS
| ever saw. We need to give them the
glad hand IN order to keep up the
morale"
Since his return from Europe Mr.
Pratt has devoted much of his time to
enlisting men for the Y. NJ. C. A. He
is organizing the industries and pro
fessons of this city to send men fitted
to serve as big brothers" to cheer the
fighting men.
Representatives of oil. coal, hard
ware, publishing, insurance and rail-
road interests were present ct his
luncheon, as was also David II. Knott,
representing the hotels, which have al
ready organized committee to line up
atfable greeters for service abroad.
Beginning next week, the y. NJ. C. A.
is to enlist 1000 men of the right cal
bre in this city who are willing to
serve al least one year behind the
fighting lines. A preliminary course
of training vii be given at Columbia
University or at The Y. NJ. CA Col
leee in Springfield, Mass.
Of the thousand men sought, 600
are to serve as big brothers" in the
Red Triangle huts. hotels and can
teens, 100 are needed as chautfeurs,
100 as clerks. 100 as religious leaders
and 100 as play leaders. The expenses
are paid by the Y. NJ. c. A. and when
necessary an allowance is made for
supporting a family left behind.
