ENGLISHMEN ON
RAILROAD TRIP
In Harrisburg Saturday; Stop
Off at Altoona to Visit Big
Shops at That Place
Prominent ' English railroad of
ficials were In Harrisburg Saturday.
They came here with President Sam
uel Rea. of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, and are on an Inspection trip
over the main road. The party in
cluded Sir Francis Dent, general
manager of the Southeastern and
Chatham Railwi a C. J. Bowen
Cooke, chief me> .lanical engineer,
London and Northwestern Railway,
and A. J. Hill, chief mechanical en
pineer of the Gret Eastern Railway
of England.
Mr. Cooke and Mr. Hill stopped off
at Altoona for a brief inspection of
the railroad shops at that point. The
British railway officers accompany
ing Mr. Rea are in this country in
connecUon with arrangements for the
repair and renewal of the steam
locomotives of the English railways.
Demund for Engines
There is a growing demand in this
country for locomotives for export.
Within the last two weeks orders
have been placed with the Baldwin
Locomotive Works and the Ameri
can Locomotive Company for 900
locomotives, of which 500 are for
Russia, 300 for France and 100 for
Great Britain. Some weeks ago rep
resentatives of foreign roads were
looking over the American market
with a view of purchasing second
hand engines, and a*, one time nego
tiations were progressing looking to
the purchase of 450 engines. The
deal fell through, however, as it was
realized that there is a great scarcity
of engines In this country and that
any engine that can be repaired for
service is badly needed here.
EXPECT TO LEAVE FOR FRAXCE
Employes of the Pennsylvania Rail
road who are members of the Ninth
Regiment, now camped in Philadel
phia, expect to leave this week for
France. They will build railways
and also play a large part In the con

Pennsy Women Employes
Fill Many Positions
American women and girls not
only are •willing but competent to do
their bit in war times by taking the
places in the business world of men
called to the colors.
This is proven by the experience
of the Pennsylvania Railroad, which
last spring open.ed avenues of em
ployment for them in as many lines
of work as possible. Since then
more than 2,000 have entered the
service of the lines East of Pitts
burgh and Erie, in the Operating
Department alone, making a total
of 2,360 In the service. The total
number of girls and women nt nron.
ent workinf In the Operating De- ]
partment Is 2.360. a<-"' the greater
part of these have been employed
during the last two months. This
includes 110 employed in Harrisburg.
Among the forms of nallroad ser
vice being performed by women, to
which' more than ordinary lntrest at
taches, are:
