How Men of the P. R. R. Are
Helping Their Country to Victory
The Government of the United States has no more loyal sup
porters in the War than the employes of the Pennsylvania
Railroad. This article tells what some of them are doing,
in practical ways, in their daily lives, their homes and their
work, to help their Country win.

You want to know "What I have
done to help America win the war.
At first I di<l not know that 1
could answer you' very much, since
1 have read your letter I have been
thinking considerably.
You remember when President
Wilson made an appeal to the peo
ple to help to reduce the high cost
of living and thus create more crops
to feed the Allies, 1 applied at that
time to the Supervisor for an acre
of land. On that acre of land I
made one of the best gardens that
you ever saw, I got enough pota
toes to supply my family, raised to
matoes, lettuce, beans and nil kinds
of greens. I must admit that this
garden was a great help to me and
my family.
Then, later came along the "Lib
erty Loan" and I subscribed. Be
sides subscribing myself, I encour
aged nearly every man in my gang
who could pay for It.
I have a good gang of men, and
we do first-class work to keep the
track so that the trains of the com
pany can carry the soldiers, their

NEXT DRAFT TO
CALL 800,000 MEN
DURING THE YEAR
Will Be Drawn to Embarrass
Coming Harvest as Little
as Possible
Washington, March B.—While a
large number of men will be called
out during the present year to fill
up the Army and complete its or
ganization, it was learned yesterday
that War Department plans do not
call for the creation of any addi
tional divisions in 1918. The an
nouncement concerning the second
draft expected soon from Provost
Marshal General Crowder may out
line the manner in which less than
1,000,000 men—probably not much
in excess of 800,000 —are to be sum
moned gradually during the year
to complete the existing organiza
tions.
Delay it* the announcement as to
when the next draft is to be expected
is true to the uncertainty as to which
method of allotting quotas to the
states is to be followed. The Sen
ate already has passed, and the
House military committee has fa
vorably reported, an amendment to
the law to base the quota on the
number of men in class one, instead
of upon the total registration of a
state. This change is regarded as
certain to be made but the depart
ment is prepared to act under the
old system.
Will Not Delay Harvest
As to the date of the second draft,
members of Congress from agricul
tural sections have been practically
assured that no withdrawal of men
from civil life was contemplated
which would embarrass harvesting.
It has been indicated, l.owever, that
a relatively small number of men
must be called to the colors prior to
June 1, and that process may start
in April, when equipment, clothing
and quarters will be available. The
men are needed to till up to full
strength divisions slated for early
departure to Europe and also for
field army and corps troops not at-1
tached to divisions. The replace
ment detachments also must go for
ward at an accelerating rate, since
American troops are now actually |
holding- a sector of the French front,
and men are being killed or wound
ed in action every day.
■The completion of the full pro
gram of t}ie "War Department with
out creating any additional divi
sions probably will absorb in the
of 600,000 men. The
extent to which it has been neces
sary to increase artillery quotas
throughout the Army and to add
special units of all sorts has sur
prised every officer and accounts for
the existing shortages to a large
extent.
Replacement Troops
The number of replacement troops
necessary is worked out in a scientific
way, based on experience at the
front. A fixed percentage for each
arm of th'e service is established.
Among the noncombatant arms, this
is very small; but it is quite high
among front line troops. While of
ficial figures are not available, it is
estimated that something more than
200,000 will be necessary for the
1918 program, making 800,000 nec
essary to call out during this year.
The last increments if the first
draft now in process of mobilization,
totaling about 80,000, are being used
to (ill regular and Nations Guard
divisions shown by their efficiency
rey)ort,s to be available for early duty
abroad. Some of the luen are be
ing used also to fill up the special
forces, although an additional source
