New and pressing problems have
confronted thoae who are responsible j
fur the commerce of the country. Eu
ropean experience at the outset of the'
war Illustrated the absolute necessity
for keeping- the country's railroad .
service In a conJ.tlon as near to thatj
of normal times as wa possible, j
Thanks to this lesson and the realiza-;
lion of Its supreme Importance, the.
railroads have been able to a lart,e
extent to meet unusual problems of
transportation and to avoid .-riou4,

and the American engineering dm-
mission is now in Russia. The operat
ing eff:clency of the railroads must be
maintained for a successful mobillza-i
tion. but there will have to be a thoro,arn
economizing on rolling rtock. While
pa'senger service Itself should be kept
commensurate with the needs of the
traveling public, some of the luxuries'
of travel, such as parlor, chair, obser-
vatlon. fln.l nnr-inir cars. etc.. Willi
have to be cut down. AM special ex
cursion trains, local accommodation
trains poorly patronized, may have
to be reduced for the duration of the
war. The authorities controlling

function to perform In fixing the,,.. u;, i v.. rmittd tn denw the
priority of freight. War Industries
must have the fust call on cars for
hlpment and for transporting raw
material. Industry will feel the pres
sure of war here as scarcely anywhere
else, and much criticism and many
hardships are bound to occur. With
limited rolling stock, "business as
usual" In all branches Is scarcely
possible.
The railroads of the United States,
as part of their effort under the di
rection of the railroads war board to
make available a maximum of trans
portation energy for the movement of
freight necessary for the successful
conduct of the war, report the elimi
nation of pasenger trains aggregating
16.267.02S miles of train service pet
year. This Is done by the railroads to save
man power, fuel, and motive power,
that they may be applied to the tran
portaiion of necepsities.
Every ton of coal, every locomotive,
every mile of track space, every man
whose duties are absorbed by an un
necessary passenger train can bo put
to effective use in freight service, and
nothing Is more neces-ary at the mo
ment to Insure the safety and proK
peuty of the country than that tho
lailroad. be ublo to handle the utmost
possible amount nf freight. The rail
roads gave in April some 13 per cent
more freight service, with practically
tho same facilities, as In the same
month last year.
The elimination of passenger serv

able for other purposes over 1.120,000
