I RAILROAD RUMBLES NEW SCHEDULE ON P.O.LINES Important Changes Are An ticipated; More Express Trains Probable V' The new schedule on the Pennsy will be out on or about June 16. It Is said the changes will be many, breaking all previous records. It is understood that two additional trains to and from the west will be added. Special schedules will also be pro vided for express and mail trains. The consolidation of express com panies which will be operated by the United States Government makes many changes necessary. It is said that local trains will be established to handle express on short hauls, and that some of the passenger trains will carry only baggage amd coaches in the future. Train No. 11, which now leaves Harrisburg for the west at 7 o'clock In the morning, will go on an earlier schedule, probably at 4 o'clock. Train No. 13 will also be moved ahead of its present schedule, and other through trains from New York will arrive and depart earlier, according to reports. Heavy Night Travel It Is understood that travel to and from New Tork and the west will be heaviest during nighttime with the new arrangement, because of the large movements of express, mail and troop trains. With the coming of the new schedule will also be announced arrangements for han dling special travel this summer. While there will be few excursions, some special trains may be neces ary. The Elks will meet this year at Atlantic City. Harrisburg and Tork have Joined in the organisation of a marching club. It is probable that where there is a large body a special movement will be provided. There will be no cut in rates, those attend ing the Elks' convention to pay the regular fare.

President Wilson and Secretary Baker* held a lengthy conference yesterday as the news arrived indicating that the Ger mans are at last thrusting straight at Paris. This turn of events is rec ognized throughout Washington as the development of the crisis of the present battle. Officials who knew what went on between the President and Secretary Baker asserted last night that they regard the situation as grave. But they see no reason for panic. This attitude fras borne out by views of the battle obtained in Al lied military quarters. It is learned authoritatively for in stance that up to 3 o'clock yester day morning. General Foch had not thrown in his Reserves. The German menace to the Marne had not 'drawn' him. Last night, as the main Ger man thrust swung to the southwest ward and broadened, Foch's wisdom was generally recognized.

OPEN DAY AND NIGHT SATURDAY EVENING, BUILD RAILROAD IN RECORD TIME 9 Complete Southern Line in Thirty-two Days; Sluch Grading Necessary Team-work by a loyal organization in which each man knew what was expected of him. and did his part to the best of his ability, was the most Important factor in the construction of seven and one-tenth miles of railroad In thirty-two days. This record was made by the construction forces of the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis and the Mason and Hanger Contracting Company to provide rail communication for the Old Hickory powder plant now un der construction in Hadley's bend 6f the Cumberland river, twelve miles from Nashville, Tenn. The railroad's permanent force, which Was gathered from other work in progress on that road, was enlarged many times by men picked up by the railroad and by the con tractor wherever they could be found, but the success of this feat depended not only on the effective ness in which the rapidly built or ganization was directed, but also on the rapidity with which materials and equipment were collected from various parts of the system and de spatched to the scene of activty. What Delays Cost The Government representatives estimated that a day's delay in the completion of the line represented a loss of $50,000. As a result, speed in construction progress over-bal anced any other consideration. For this reason some of the methods resorted to in pushing the work to the utmost would be considered wasteful under almost any other conditions. Although the burden of pushing the work through was largely on the railroad, the work was more or less divided between the road and Mason and Hanger, the contractors. The railroad completed all the grading and trestle work from the connection with his track to the Government property line, four and a half miles, while the con tractor did equivalent work north of that point, but the railroad com pleted all of the track laying on the first main line with own forces for the entire seven and one-tenth miles to the throat of the powder plant yard. Another Record Shipment From Pacific Coast Point Seven cars of wooden pipes arrived at Ordnance Field yesterday, making ■ the trip from Washington to San | Francisco and thenc© eastward, in l se\enteen days. These pipes will be! used in supuiying water from the! old Camp Meade wells. The pipes' are made of a special kind of wood ! found only in the states of Washing- ' ton and California. The pipes are ! fourteen inches in diameter and are j wrapped with wire and then treated ! in a solution to make them water tight and durable. i mmmmm I Model 90 Sales Exceed Output The sum of Model 90's popularity is its complrtenett.
