Administration Of Railways.
1t was necessary that the admin
istration of the railways should be
taken over by the government so
long as the war lasted. 1t would
have been impossible otherwise to
establish and carry through under a
single direction the necessary priori-
ties of shipment 1t would have been
Impossible otherwise to combine
maximum production at the factories
and mines and farms with the maxi

products to the ports and markets;
.impossible to ronte troop shipments
and freight shipments without re-

severally the traffic which could
best be carried by their respective
lines in the interest of expedition
and national economy.
