TO PRESERVE HISTORICAL CAR.
Coach in Which Armistice was Signed
VIII Be stored Away

The car in which the armistice was
signed on November II, 1918, is to be
preserved as a souvenir of the victory
of the allies over the Huns. Recently
a journey to Verdun was made In this
restaurant car by NJ. Millerand, presi-
dent of the French republic. M. Poin-
care, Marshals Joffre and Foch, and
others.
The historic carriage, which had
been converted into a restaurant car.
was one of the sleeping-cars modified
at the beginning of the war. 1t was
handed over to the French general
headquarters staff, and when General
Foch was nominated commander-1n-
chief of the allied armies in 1918 1t
formed part of the train placed at his
disposal The telegraph and telephone
were installed in it, and that part or 1t
used as a dining-room became the Of
flee of the future marshal. The Off
GERS of his staff were accommodated
in a small room. and the kitchen was
used by soldier typists.
1t was from this car that Marshal
Foch directed what was called the
Battle of France" or Battle or Lib
Grafton, and just as the armist1ce was
signed in it so were the renewals of
the armistice signed on December 10,
1918, and January 10, 1913.
There are two inscriptions at each
end of the carriage. The first reads:
I'm this carriage was signed, at Franc
Port, near Compiegne, on November
IL. 1918, at o'clock in the morning,
the armistice convention imposed on
the Germans by the victories of the
allied armies. For the allied govern

Wemyss, first lord of the British adj

A FREIGHT CARS YEAR.
Fourteen Weeks of Year Is Spent in
Loading and Unloading.

The typical freight car spends four
teen weeks of the year on loading and
unloading tracks and six weeks being
switched to and from these tracks, two
weeks awaiting ship. ers' orders and
three weeks of sheer idleness because
Of arrival at destination on Sundays
and holidays. Thus half the year is
spent in the work of being loaded and
unloaded.
When the car gets under way with
it's load, it is again subject to various
delays. 1t spends five weeks going
thru intermediate yards, where trains
are broken UP and remade for move
ment to various destinations and nine
weeks more on interchange tracks
where freight is transferred from one
railroad to another. This leaves thir-
teen weeks of the year. but nearly five
of these are needed for repairs. In
addition in a normal year. the car is
stored about two weeks for lack of
tonnage in slack season. So there is
left about six weeks of the year in
which the car is actually moving along
the main line. Road delays-wrecks,
Washouts, breakdowns, congestion
reduce the normal road movement to
thirty-seven days or one-tenth of the
year.-Santa Fe Magazine.

by any name the Cleveland Indians
were full of it and it didn't blow away
during the winter.
iris Speaker is with his tribe in
Dallas without a "holdout" He didn't
have one. The worlds champions all

ON the other hand, four of the
Brooklyn clubs bulwarks-Grimes,
Smith, Myers and Wheat, captain of
the club, are pressing their demands
from the club.
- Uncle Robby, however, isn't the only
manager with holdout worries. Pat
Moran's whole Cincinnati infield is
on a strike. George Gibson is without
a pitching ace and two of Miller Hug
gins's promising young Yanks are
missing.
Holding out is just game of en-
durance with the spoils for the side
that holds out longest. The magnates
this year say they are going to hold
out till the well known cows come
home.
Charley Ebbets says he'll trade his
obstinate Robins and go thru the sea-
son without them. Pat Moran says he
has already filled the places of Groh.

Altho this winter has been unusually
