TRAFFIC INCREASE
TREBLED SINCE 1898
Greater Efficiency Enabled Rail-
roads to Meet Country's
Growing Semands.

The American railroads are more
than one-third Of the railways Of the
world. The traffic hauled on the rail-
ways Of the United States Is now three
times as great as 1T was twenty years
ago. In four months now the railroads
carry as much freight and as many
passengers as they did then in year.
Ii the three months alone Of the har-
vest movement In 1919 the traffic equal
ed that Of the whole year of 1898.
In 1898 freight ton miles carried by
the railroads of the country were more
than 1OO,O00,OO0,000 a year. In 1910
they were more than go, O00, coo, 900,
in 1913 more than 100000, 100000 and
in 1918 more than 100000, 100000. Al
though the railway mileage increased
only about 60 per cent since 1890, i'm
provements in tracks, terminals, equip
ment, etc, have been so marked that
the volume of goods carried (measured
in the number of freight tons carried
one mile) increased more than five
times from 1890 to 1917.
Increased Efficiency.
Taking account of both freight and
passenger service, the railroads in 1909
hauled $4,000 traffic units freight
tons carried one mile, plus passengers
carried one mile) for each railway en-
ployee By 1917, the last year Of pri.
vate operation of the railroads prior to
the entry of the United States into the
wsr, that $4,000 had been increased
to 2Ss, 900.
The following table shows the in
crease In efficiency of American rail-
roads since 1900, which enabled the
railroads to keep pace with the growth
of the country:
Ton miles increased. $500. 1907
Passenger miles increased. 1909
Trackage increased ....... $500
Cars and engine increased. 1870
Workers increased ........ $3.50
Output per worker increased 60%
Average train load increased 1909
These figures show that the traffic
hauled by the railroads of the country
has increased more than three times
as fast as the trackage, more than
twice as fast as the equipment and
more than twice as fast as the number
| of workers. This has been made pos
sible by far-sighted investment of new
| capital to increase the efficiency of the
| transportation facilities and thereby
| enable the railroads to increase the
| amount of traffic handled and reduce
| the amount of labor required to handle

MUST HAVE AID T0ST0P GREAT
 LOSS OF LIFE

SPOKANE, Dec. 7.-Precipitating a new crisis in Amercinas rescue and reconstruction program in Asia Min or, having the seriousness of a na- tional tragedy, thousands of destitute women and children have again been forced to flight in severe weather of gathering winter before the advanc- ing army of Turkish Nationalists.
 This situation, demanding the re- doubling of relief efforts and supply of medicine as we'll as food and cloth ing. was today brought to the atten- tion of northwestern officials of the near east relief in a cablegram from Bayard Dodge. heading the organiza- tion's activities in the Syria-Aleppo area. To meet the emergency. speed ing up collection of publicly-sub- scribed funds. through which the work is financed, will be attempted immediately by local district direct tors of the relief body.
 Armenian refugees are pouring into Aleppo from the Turk frontier" says Mir. Dodge in a message to E. A. Potter northwestern executive sec retary of the near east relief. AT Pey- ton buildin, Spokane. Severe weath- CT is commencing. Women and chil- dren are homeless. Emergency work is imperative. Present appropriations must continue throughout the winter
 "The road from Central Armenia to Black Sea is damned with Armen- ian women and children. fleeing be- fore the Turkish army. They are un- fed and shoeless. Half naked refu- gees are crowding into Tiflis, also, for safety. Appeals are made to rush food, medicine and clothing"
 Tn connection with the Dodge cable. Charles V. Vickrey, general secretary of the near east relief has wired MT. Potter, saying:
 This unforeseen wholesale emer- gency amounting to national trag- edy greatly increases the amount of Restitution and calls for a great in crease in our budget unless we are willing to see tens of thousands of our former allies die in exile for lack of food and clothing, which we can | send if funds are provided.
 The Turkish Nationalists promise 1 safety to orphans, property and refu- gees under the protection of Ameri- can relief workers and the fact that such promises were faithfully kept | throughout four years of war gives | confidence that distinctly humanitar- | ian saving work will continue. Moreover hundreds of thousands of 1 orphans and destitute are in areas l entirely outside the control of the Nationalist forces. Redoubling of ef- forts to secure adequate funds are i'm | perative if a disastrous loss of life is to be avoided"

AMERICAN RELIEF FOR
 CHILDREN OF AUSTRIA

NEW YORK, Dec. 8 (by Associated Press).-One hundred thousand pairs of shoes, 100000 pairs of stockings to go with them, and 34O,O00 suits of boys and girls underwear will be dis tributed to needy Austrian children this winter by the American Relief administration European Children's fund, that organization announces.
 Without this clothing, more than 100000 children who come to the kitchens of the fund for daily hot meal will not be able to appear as soon as winter begins in earnest. In Vienna alone, 160,000 children are fed at the American kitchens; in all Aus tria, 3O0,O00. Agents of the relief ad- ministration say these children face death by starvation if the work of the relief stations does not continue through the winter. Herbert Hoover, chairman of the fund, estimates that $23,000,000 will insure the child well fare work in Austria, Poland, the Bal tic states and Czecho-Slovakia until next August, when the countries can depend upon their harvests.

NEW DIVISION OF
HIGHWAY ADVISED

The following is an interview given
the San Diego Union by {. b. Rucker
who has been the state highway man
supervising the construction OF the
mile of Wilhite pavement east OF
Holtville:
Creation of another division of the
state to take care of the highway con-
struction in San Diego, Riverside and
Imperial countries would expedite the
building of roads in the southland to
wonderful extent, in the opinion
Of Charles B. Rucker of Los Angeles.
who has been assistant to w. +. Bixby
resident engineer of state highway
work on the edge of the desert, where
a section of experimental pavement
has been in course of construction.
Rucker passed through San Diego
last night on his way home, whence
he will leave in few days for Siam,
where he has tin concessions from
| the Siamese government.
Disclaiming any authority to speak
officially on the matter, Rucker de-
clared that an immense saving OF
time and money would result from
the partition of the seventh division
which would mean a better distribu-
tion of engineers, materials and SIP
plies and of live stock for the vari,
Gus projects. <.
'1he three counties in question,
said Rucker. "are entitled to q diva
