THE STREET RAILWAYS

According 10 statements Of men
who should be in position TO know
what they are talking about, there is
a chaotic condition among the street
railways of the United States. This
condition is not confined TO the east
but prevails IN the west where street
railways, particularly interurban
lines, have been developed to great
er extent than along the Atlantic
coast.
At one of tho hearings held in
Washington before commission ap
pointed BY the president to make an
investigation and recommend meas
ures for the financial relief of the
street railways, one statistical expert
stated that siXty-two companies with
1912 miles of single track were in
the hands of receivers, sixty compan.i
les with 763 miles of track had dis.
mantled the properties and thirty
eight companies with 267 miles of
track had ceased operations The
total said the expert, represents
nearly sixteen per cent of the electric
railroad mileage in the country
This country must have its electric
railroads, not only the urban but
suburban lines, for without them in
dustry of all kinds would be checked
to degree that would almost mean
national disaster. The big factor in
The operating of electric lines in all
parts of the country Is the transport
ing of people from the places where
they live TO the places where they
work and without such facilities
thousands of manufacturing plants
would be unable to continue opera
ton.
The suburan and interurban cleo
tire railroads have partially solved
one Of the big problems of the coun-
try, the congestion OF population in
the larger cities This congestion is
not restricted to the large cities but
is feature Of community life in
many of the smaller villages. The
section of country between this viii
lage and North Bennington, on u
small scale, affords an example of
population distribution We're il not
for the trolley lines few OF The
houses on the road between the two
villages would have been built.
Should the trolley line be abandoned
these houses would become far less
desirable and the owners and ocou-
pants many Of whom are employed
in the mills and factories, would at
once begin seeking places to live
nearer their work. This would mean
more growing into Bennington and
North Bennington where it is now
practically impossible to find va
cant tenement
Throughout the country there are
thousands of situations similar 20
that presented on tho route OF the
trolley lines between the two villages
in this town. Under existing oondi-
lions the men and women who bring
home the weekly pay envelope and
who keep this country in motion
must have means Of travel TO and
from their places of employment. The
trolley car has met the requirements
during the past twenty years and
more and it is probable that the men
who have their billions invested in
the stocks of the different companies
VIII find some way out of the predic-
ament in which they now find them
selves.

of his great pleasure of seeing his
adversary fall. The Lieutenant him.
self was finally wounded and his ma
chine brot down behind German lines.
He told about secreting himself in a
German dugout, of an attack on him
by vicious looking Hun who carried
revolver; how the Hun entered the
dugout and the fight that ensued and
how finally the revolver went off and
the Hun fell dead He had shot him
self accidentally. Knots was finally
captured and marched back of the
lines. His flying boots were taken
away from him and for hours he was
compelled to march over the roads
barefoot, his feet bleeding. The pris-
oners in the camp where he was taken,
numbering about thousand, were so
poorly fed that none of them weighed
over 100 pounds and there were deaths
from starvation each day. The acorn
coffee was poor and there was insuffic-
lent bread. The prisoners seldom got
their Red Cross boxes. Often the
food sent to them was thrown out in
the dung piles in Belgium and it was
not unusual to see the poor emaciated
fellows out in the piles digging for
something to eat. Finally, when the
arnistice was signed, the Germans
turned their prisoners loose and let
them shift for themselves. The noble
Belgians took them. in, bathed them
and gave them food. Knots says that
his wound had gangrene in it At the
Belgian home where he was admitted,
the noble woman treated the wound,
and put him to bed between soft blan-
kets, the only ones left in the house
He remained with the Belgians for

people, who love the Americans. He
