Express Trains Are
Ordered on Sea Beach
And West End Subway

To relieve the constant congestion
on the Sea Beach and West End trains
operating from Times Square and
Fourteenth Street in the Broadway
subway, the Public Service Commits
sion yesterday directed the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company to install an
express service on these lines from
the Chambers Street station in the
Municipal Building to Coney Island in
non-rush hours.
The express trains are to run on a
sufficiently frequent Roadway to take
care of the serious overlooking condi-
lions which exist on these lines.

From S to 10 Minutes
Lack of Service Causes
Heavy Congestion at
Brooklyn Bridge

Despite the numerous complaints
vice on the new III" subway system
since it's inception on August 1, and
repeated promises of betterment, there
was no appreciate improvement on
the lines yesterday.
A survey of the East Side branch
made by Tribune reporters yesterday
disclosed that twenty seven trains, in
Guiding express and local, were the
maximum number being operated by
the marlborough during the rush
hours. Of these fourteen were express
and thirteen we're locals. These fig
ures reveal that the company was oper-
ating its busiest line with fifteen trains
less than the forty per hour it had
promised, shortage of eight express
trains and seven locals.
At the Brooklyn Bridge platform OF
the Lexington Avenue line there was
an especial congestion during the
MONDAY rush. The express trains here
at 1880 p. m. were arriving on an av-
erage Of one every five minutes, with
intervals as long as ten minutes during
the height of the jam. There was an
evident attempt to mitigate conditions
on the local branch here by OBTAINING
these trains at the station until the
arrival Of the following local. Many
persons who had been waiting for
express trains got on the locals through
sheer impotence.
The patrons on the West Side branch
of the III" system Jared somewhat bet
ter, though even here the revised
schedule had not been attained. At
Times Square a reporter for The
Tribune counted fourteen northbound
local and express trains in half an
hour, seven Of which were expresses.
The schedule here appeared to be keep
ing the platforms we'll cleared. though
the cars were sufficiently crowded to
cause strap-hanging.

southern end Of the West End line

having passed that station in half an
hour at noon yesterday. The service
was very irregular, however, one Of
the trains arriving after an interval
of nine minutes.
There was still marked congestion
at the Grand Central station. Much Of
this, it appeared, was due to the
crowded condition Of the trains as they
arrived at the platform and the in
ability of those waiting to board them.
The schedule virtually was the same
as that existing at the Brooklyn Bridge
station.

WESTERN TITLE, STAKE
Movement On to Match Illinois and
Michigan Elevens for Grid
iron Championship.

CHICAGO, November PA pos
season foot ball game between the
University of Illinois and the Univer-
sity of Michigan, the only elevens un
beaten. by any western conference
rivals, may be played next Saturday
If number of obstacles can be over
come.
Illinois alumni of Chicago started a
movement today to bring about sucl
a contest, although the time for com
pleting the arrangements was con.
sidered short. Unofficial reports from
both schools stated that the athletic
authorities would not be averse tc
playing a game which would estab-
lish an undisputed claim to the west
ern conference championship.
Michigan has game scheduled will
Ohio State next Saturday which would
prevent the post-season contest on
that date, but Illinois alumni repre-
sentatives say they hope to induce the
Buckeye athletic authorities to can
Gel it. If Ohio should be willing to
forego its scheduled contest with
Michigan, consent OF the military au-
thorities at Illinois and Michigan
would still be necessary.
IN case it is found impossible to ar
range a game for next Saturday, the
promoters say December may be
available. Illinois closed its regular
schedule last Saturday. but it is said
upon to keep his team in training two
weeks longer for the chance Of es-
tablishing a clear title to the cham
pionship.

1t is likely that the incident will

A few here believe that Ingram ac-

touchdown. and that the ball should
have been declared dead. The gem

judgement as to the consequences
and herein lies the one great error
made by government officials, be-
cause they wanted to do every
thing possible for the new soldier.
What has been the result of all
this free intercourse between the
newly made soldier and the fam
lilies Of civilian people living close
to the camps, and can it be said
that this freedom offered the SOL
der into these homes has been
well for the home and it's inmates {?
The truth is, and sad indeed to
relate, that the young girls IN
these families, and the older wo-
men for that matter, have been
simply carried off their feet in
showing favors to these soldier
boys, who they formerly were, and
from whence city or country they
had come apparently not be-
ing matter Of moment SO long
as they wore uniform, and these
favOrs have not always stopped
at prudence.
Take any Of the towns and cit
les where these camps are located
and it is a common thing to see
girls Of fourteen to sixteen out at
midnigh with the soldiers. 60
into any Of the parks and byways
Of these cities and it is no I'M
common thing to see these couples
sitting, or walking, with arms
around the girls waist, and this
has become so usual in our capt.
tai city that it is customary to see
it done on the street cars in broad
daylight.
Can it be possible that mothers
and fathers have not yet realized
the danger to their girls? Surely
these girls, to whom the glitter
and glory Of the uniform Of Uncle
Sam s defenders is all that is re-
quired to start conversation & &C
quainance, should have some pro-
lection thrown around them, else
this war, the purpose for which
America has gone in to fight the
demon Of immortality, will cost
our citizenship a fearful price in
suffering and shame
