YOU CAN HELP NOW

II YOU find il difficult to get on a train
remember that the railroads and the Pull
man Company, by order of the Office Of
Defense Transportation, have withdrawn
from service all sleeping cars operating be-
tween points $50 miles or less apart. The
action was made necessary by unexpectedly
heavy arrivals of troops from Europe. p.
This action makes available an adj
ditional s95 Pullman cars and gives the mil
itmry the exclusive use of about half the
sleeping cars operating in the United States
These ears afford a greater measure of
comfort 10 our troops moving to the west
eoast prior TO embarkation to the Pacific
theatre.
Il Is interesting to note that in 1918,
with a total of approximately Al 900 coach
- aud sleeping cars. the railroads perform
ed 42,6T6.0O0, 900 passenger-miles of SER
vice.
In 1914, with approximately 27,700
passenger-earrying cars, the railroads per-
formed 95.575. 900, 900 passenger-miles and
the 1915 passenger load is expected to
mount to 10 per cent, to more than 100, OOO,-

"he-half times the 1918 passenger load
TO be moved in 30 per cent less passenger
carrying equipment.
On account of wartime restrictions, the
railroads have been unable to buy passen-
ger carrying ears. The hauling Job and the
maintenance job they have done with the
equipment at hand is almost beyond belief.
They have rendered service more expedet-
tlously' more courteously and with less
waste than in 1918 when there was vastly
more equipment. more engines and much
more manpOwer

BY WILLIAM F. BoNDI

AMSTERDAM. - There are
three primary factors in Hol-
lands reconstruction, each an
urgent problem i'm itself and each
completely enmeshed with the
other two. q
These factors are lack of coal,
lack of transport, and the need
to purge all public life of pro-
Nazi or collaborationist elements.
Industry and public utilities
cannot resume anything like full
production without coal. Coal
stacked up in the southern prov
ince of Limburg reaches produc-
ton centers only in minute guam
titles because of the shortage of
transport, but even if there were
coal and transport no enterprise
could hit peak operation until its
personnel had been cleansed
politically.
Some HeadwaY Made
In all three of these matters
there has been some Roadway.
Amsterdam and Rotterdam have
been getting enough coal by sea
for a limited supply of light pow
er to essential enterprises, and
the entir ecapital next week for
the first time will have cooking
gas IS minutes each evening.
To certain extent this will re-
move the necessity of standing in
line for hours in hope of buying
firewood for as much as guilder
a pound. or chopping up furni-
ture to build a. fire for cooking.

The physical rehabilition OF
the country also is a major task,
especially in the southern prov
inces of iceland, with its flooded
island of Walchern, North Bra

towns have adopted cities and

Economically Holland still is
in need of considerable help, but
the Dutch already are assuming
charge of administering Allied
supplies themselves. The general
feeling among Allied officials is
that the Dutch have been slow
to take matters in their own
hands but have done their work
very thoroughly.
Political Holland is likely to
swing considerably further left.

II Madge opened her bedroom
door. Then she got down on her
hands and knees and crawled in
TO the room. Fortunately. the
moonlight outlined every nook
and corner she knew by heart. as
she headed for q drawer in the
chiffonnier where she kept her
purse. Suddenly she stopped in
her tracks as she heard Mario
turn over in bed. When Mario
settled down again Madge con-
tinued her crawling. At last she
reached her destination and care
fully, ever so carefully, began to
pull the drawer open; to her con-
sternation, it squeaked! Finally.
after innumerable squeaks,
Madge had the drawer open, but
she also had succeeded in open
ing Marlo's eyes, which stared
straight up at the ceiling too
frightened to scan the room.
Madge rapidly felt around in
the drawer for the purse; she
found it, opened it and retrieved
the tiny vial. Then, TREMENDOUSLY,
she turned and started crawling
back toward the door.
Mario knew something was
crawling around on the floor. She
wanted to look, but the tide Of
fear had washed out her will

raise her trembling head just in
time to see something creep out
of the room. She wanted to
scream, but her throat was toe
throttled with horror as she
stared wild-eyed at the slowly
closing door.
Madge scrambled to her feet

way Development in War and
Peace" Last week before the met
rorolitan section of the American
Society of Civil Engineers in New

The mission of making our
water resources serve the NEEDS
- our people rather than destroy

However. there is no denial OF
the fact that flood control and nav

have contributed magnificently to
our present national welfare and
strength. The performance OF these
works provides a dependable in
dex for the planning of our future
efforts to control the waters OF our
rivers and to use them"
While natural waterways were
capable in general in meeting the
needs of pioneer times, Reybold
said. their value to the nation was
more potential then real. Like all
other natural resources the water
ways had to be developed by hu-
man ingenuity and effort.
