RAILROAD RUMBLES
READING PLANS
MANY CHANGES
Four-Track System to This
City Is Included; Other
Improvements
Reading, Pa., May 22. —For many
years the Reading railway officials
have been planning improvements.
Increased business has brought about
the need for changes along the en
tire system.
Now that the government has
taken over all of the lines the Read
ing is to be allowed $13,386,387 for
additions and betterments, and sll,-
5 32,276 for equipment. The total is
$24,918,663.
According to a statement by a
prominent official here to-day large
expenditures will be made in and
about Harrisburg.
More sidings and yard room are
needed on the Lebanon Valley and
Kast Penn in order to take care of
the traffic. Enlarged terminal facil
ities are also needed in the vicinity
of Allentown to take care of the
business interchanged by the Le
high Valley and Central Railroad of
New Jersey and the Reading.
Cars and Ix>comotives
It is possible that the cutoff be
tween Sinking Spring and Blandon
may now be built. This would be of
preat importance to Heading. <t
would avoid the dragging of *nou
sands of cars through the city that
now pass over the East Penn branch.
It would also relieve the Reading
vdrd and prevent numerous block
ades and delays to traffic. More
room is needed at Woodlane, and
plans have been made to enlarge the
yard at that point to take care of
1,000 additional cars.
More engines, passenger coaches,
freight and coal cars are necessary,
and it is probable that they will be
built as rapidlv as the conditions will
permit. About a year ago the com
pany gave an order to the Harlan >v
Hollingsworth Co.. Wilmington, for
a number of passenger cars Loco
motives were also ordered from
Baldwins. These orders, for some
reason, were held up. It is now ex
pected that the passenger coaches
and locomotives will be built ana de
livered as soon as it is possible to
turn them out.
Four Tracks to Xhis City
The Reading railway shops are
equipped to build any number of lo
comotives, and it is believed that
since the government has taken
charge of all the railroads, the local
shop may in the future take care
of its own motive power. The gov
ernment officials who spent several
davs going through the Reading
shop, declared that it was one of the
best equipped in the country. All
that is needed is the necessary ma
terial. and there will be no trouble,
in building all the locomotives re
quired for the passenger, coal ,and|
freight service. Some of the fleetest i
locomotives in the country have been|
built by Reading's merchants, and
are now hauling the fastest trains in
the world.
Among other improvements con
templated and which are likely to
be started will be the building of
third and fourth tracks between
Harrisburg and Blading, with a view
of facilitating the movement of
traffic. A new station in this city
may be built.
Fire Railroad Leader;
Allege Inefficiency
Wanhlngton. May 22. Railways
Director McAdoo's first drastic step to
enforce, the carrying out of ordered
improvements was taken when he di
rected that C. W. Huntington presi
dent of t.he Virginia Railroad Com
pany. with offices in New York City,
withdraw from all corporate direc
tion of the company. In his place the
director appointed .J. H. Young, presi
dent of the Norfolk and Southern
Railway. . „
The Virginia Railroad Company is
one of the most important carriers of
bituminous coal in the East, much of
the liavv supply being transported
over its lines. When the roads were
taken over bv the Government, Mr.
McAdoo ordered that the Virginia
make certain improvements. Word
reached him that these were being un
necessarily delaved, and the removal
of Huntington as president resulted.
[ANNUALMEETING
OF P. R. R. VETS
Reunion Again in Altoona
This Year Because of War
Conditions
Notices have gone out for the
twenty-second annual meeting of
the Veteran Employes' Association
of the Middle division of the Penn
sylvania Railroad in Altoona Thurs
day, June 20. The meeting and
banquet will be held in Jaffa Tem
ple.
According to past arrangements,
this meeting should have been held
in Harrisburg this year. In explain
ing the change, N. W. Smith, super,
intendent of the Middle division,
says:
War Interferes
"Our reason for holding the an
nual meeting and banquet in Al
toona again this year, is oil account
of the war conditions, as our execu
tive committee did not deem it ad
visable to ask for any special trains
for use of members, and as we do
not have any suitable regular west
ward local train out of Harrisburg
to take the members home after the
banquet, it was necessary to hold it
in Altoona, as by doing so our mem
bers can accommodate themselves
on regular trains both coming and
going by using trains Nos. 661, 601
or 41 coming and train No. 10 leav
ing Altoona at 8.45 p. m., returning
, er . t ' le liquet.
"We will arrange for No. 10 to
make any extra stops, on that date,
that any of our members desire, to
leave them off, and members lesir
ing any stops on train No. 10, other
than its regular stops, will notify
the conductor, when he lifts their
transportation, immediately after
leaving Altoona station.
home of the Veteran Associations
of the Pennsylvania Railroad have
canceled their annual meeting and
banquet entirely this year on ac
count of war conditions, and our
members will have to realize that
these are war times, and for that
r ea *L on was necessary for us to
hold the annual meeting and ban
quet in Altoona, if we desired to
. i, at a "' anfl we sincerely hope
that all our members will feel en
tirely satisfied, as this is the time
for us all to do our 'bit' and do
e\ er> thing possible to help our gov
ernment. An interesting program
lias been arranged.

British General Boynton
Thrills With War Stories;
On His Way to Lecture
Melville Boynton. a general in the
British First Legion, sometimes
known as the Musketeers, an honor
ary organization composed entirely
of veterans with not less than one
medal gained in the present conflict,
a veteran of the Battle, of the Marne,
of the Aisne and of East African
conflicts, after being continually en
gaged in squabbles, revolutions and
wars of all sorts, is now in the
United States enjoying a short rest
and during this time he is working
in the interest of the great Ameri
can Red Cross.
While in Harrisburg last evening,
on his way to Williamsport, where
he will lecture in the interest of the
Red Cross, he related some thrill
ing- experiences.
On his left hand Boynton wears a
handsome opal ring taken from the
hand of a dead German officer. In
gruesome fashion he related to an
eager audience of listeners, how,
when he secured the ring from the
finger of the dead Hun, dead for
some time, he took the finger with
it. This ring, is valued at between
three and four hundred dollars, he
declares. Jewelers say that the ring
is of Flemish make.
General Boynton, the only Ameri
can wearing medals for service in
Central Africa and in German East
Africa, also has on his left breast a
handsome silver medal awarded to
him by King George after service in
the Battle of the Marne.
Boynton entered the service of the
[French army in August, 1914, arriv
ing there shortly after the war broke
out. Serving in the French army
until February, 1915, he entered the
service of the British army in March,
1915 and served in it until March,
1917, when he was wounded. At
that time he suffered a smashed el
bow from a spent shell. The only
other wound suffered by the war
veteran in this conflict is a shrapnel
wound in the neck, sustained while
in service along the Aisne.
Boynton, whose American home is
at Harper's Ferry, W. Va„ was in
Brazil in 1889 at the time of the
revolution and enlisted with his
friends in the Revolutionists' army
against Don Pedro, the Second. En
gaged in various conflicts iUmost
continually in the twenty-five suc
ceeding years. Boyntin at noon to
day says he has never been on the
losing side, and "I am d sure
that I am not on the loser's side this
time," he added.
In the great world war, he has
seen service In France, Flanders,
British East Africa, Uganda, Vic
toria Nyanza, and was a member of
the British party that took German
East Africa, the last Hun territory
in Africa.
"The American Red Cross is doing
splendid work 'over there' and I can
only corroborate what other return
eed soldiers have told you," Boynton
to-day said. "So," he added, "I
feel as if I am doing almost as much
good aiding them in their efforts here
in America, ari if I were on active
duty along some battle front." In
his lectures for the benefit of the
Red Cross, he gives an ilustrated
lecture, showing 16,000 feet of actual
fighting, gas attacks, etc. These
films, he said, are official British war
films and are only loaned. They
cannot be purchased, he declared.
The Bitlsh Musketeers, all vete
rans with one or more war medals,
Boynton told, are serving largely
| with British armies, although some
are with the French and some with
Italian forces! Most of them are
veterans he declared, "and I will
son be back on the front with them
likely with the American forces." he
added. He said that he expected to
again enter service this fall.

LETTERS FROM FRANCE
"GAS AND FLAME"
Howell Becht, son of Dr. and Mrs.
J. George Becht. who enlisted In
the 30th Engineers—"Gas and
Flame" regiment—last November,
and sailed for France iij December
has written some interesting letters
to the home folks. Extracts from
these letters show the attitude of the
American boy in the midst of war.
They are as follows:
"Life at the front is somewhat
similar to that of a lizard. We eat,
drink and sleep way under the
ground, coming out at favorable
times to sun ourselves, but always
on the alert lest Fritz should spy
us and send over a young hardware
store which may contain anything
from a needle to a Marlin spike.
It has a tendency to break up a card
party or a dinner and causes the
territory in which said shell breaks
to be vacated in a remarkably short
space of time. At night Fritz
throws up his famous star shells
and they light their territory up like
day. They even seem to be an im
provement on the sun when one
is a little nervous. Machine gun
bullets also put lots of pep into one
and, believe me, you can lie very
flat when they start buzzing around,
I never realized how close I could
get to the ground until I had a
chance to do some ducking.
"We are all hoping that this
spring will end the war. Things
seem favorable and we all do our
bit.—March 20.
"We have been up to the front.
I had a few thrillers while there
and enjoyed, or should rather say
experienced, some new sensations.
For instance, when you hear the ma
chine gun bullets whistling past
you, you undoubtedly feel a weak-

Gage had been, but had left just a
few weeks before. Was sorry not
to have seen her.
