RAILROAD PULLMAN CARS ARE IN DEMAND Big Factor in Movement of Troops; Many Long Hauls; Man in Charge Troop movement figures to date indicate that the railroads of this country have safely transported ap proximately 1,500,000 soldiers to training camps and embarkation points since August 1. Five hundred thousand of these men have made journeys necessitating overnight travel and have been moved in tour ist or standard sleepers furnished by the Pullman Company. In one of the long hauls, 8,000 men were moved from a training camp on the western coast to a point on the eastern coast —a dis tance of 3,700 miles in a little less than a week. The men traveled In six teen sections, each section compris ing twelve tourist cars and two bag gage cars. In order to centralize the furnish ing of sleeping cars at points most convenient to the government and to utilize these cars to the best advan tage. the Pullman Company changed the supervision of the supply and movement of these cars from the headquarters of the company at Chi cago, to Washington, where they sta tioned C. W. Henry assistant to the superintendent of car service. In Close Touch Mr. Henry, in his headquarters at the offices of' the railroads' war board, has been In dally touch with the office of the quartermaster gen eral and on receipt of requests from , military authorities for sleeping car equipment has seen that the cars i were rushed at once to the points needed. As a result of this co-operation be tween the government, the railroads and the Pullman Company, half a million soldiers have been spared the discomforts of making long trips In day coaches. To assure the safety of the men in transit, the railroads have adopted an average speed of 25 miles an hour for all troop trains except when freight cars, needed for the trans portation of equipment, are included in the trains. The speed is then re duced to 20 miles an hour. Brakeman Gets Damages; Injured at Rutherford Hagorstown, Md., Nov. 24.—Ed-! ward O.

Need More Police "My relations with the other of ficials have been most pleasant and in all sessions of Council and various conferences I have always found these men to be deeply interested in the welfare of their city, making the municipality and its business their first consideration. "With regard to the important po lice department in particular, I want to say that the safeguarding of the persons and property of our citizens is the thing uppermost in the minds of the officers. Probably the great est weakness of the force is its lack of numbers. The recent introduc tion'of civil service regulations has remedied some defects of the old system. "After this brief service as Mayor the city manager plan appeals to me more strongly than ever before as the real stepping stone to effici ency and economy iri municipal ad ministration.
