RAILROAD RUMBLES
GIFTS FOR MEN
NOW IN FRANCE
Pennsy Women Representing
Enola District Have Been
Doing Great Work
Employes of the Pennsylvania rail
road now in France to the number
of fifty will shortly receive some
things they will need. As a result of
the five tobaccoless Thursdays during
May the Pennsylvania Railroad Worn
j en's Division For War Relief at
Enola will be able to send a big box
to the boys "over there."
Each of the fifty Pennsy men will
get a sweater, "a helmet, pair of
wristlets and two pairs of stockings.
The knitting is now on and will be
done by the women of Enola. Mrs.
H. G. Huber, head of this column,
will tell these and other interesting
facts Tuesday night at the big com
munity meeting to be held in the au
ditorium at Enola.
Reception to Major Gray
The occasion will also-bring a com
plete report of what has been do
ing In that active town. F. W.
Smith, Jr., superintendent of the
Philadelphia division of the Pennsyl
vania railroad, will preside. General
Secretary Samuel G. Hepford will
have a report to make that promises
additional interest.
There will be singing by Miss Mary
Buttorf, of New Cumberland; orches
tral music and an added feature will
be a reception to Major William B.
Gray, Engineer R. C.. constructing
quartermaster at the Ordnance Depot
near Middletown, and his staff. Of
ficials identified with Major Gray will
also be present. The meeting will
start at 8 o'clock.
Railroad Notes
The Pennsy's new schedule will go
into effect to-morrow. Many changes
have been made in time of trains.
Instructions to ticket agents re
garding excursion tickets will be
given out next week.
One of the principal knocks the
ticket agents get now from the trav
eling public is the restriction placed
on a first-clasß ticket. A person buy
ing a one-way ticket must use it
the same day or not later than the
second day after it Is purchased.
They cannot understand what benefit
the Government expects to derive
from a ruling of that kind, as all
first-class tickets not used are to be
redeeme'd after two days.

Further information in regard to this issue if given in a letter of Mr. J. Ogden Armour, President of

tharges, have been approximately $21,950,000, and the average annual interest charge (including inter
est on the bonds ) has been approximately $4,480,000. During this period over $46,000,000 net earnings

Our Armies Ready
to Fight as Units
Washington, June 15. —.The Ameri
can military force In Franco has be
come so large that General Foch,
Commander-in-Chief of the allied
armies, has Informed General Per
shing that It is desirable to maintain
our forces, as far as possible, as pure
ly American units. This information
was given to the members of the
House Military Affairs Committee by
the War Council at a joint confer
ence,
In accordance with this policy,
which tends tor strengthen the fighting
morale of the American soldiers
abroad, two full American divisions
are now engaged In the fighting near
Chateau-Thierry where the Germans
have been making their drive.
Secretary Baker Informed the com
mittee that in another two weeks this
American force would be doubled.
The policy of the allied commander
will be to increase weekly the AmerU
can unit by decreasing the number of
Americans brigaded with the French
and British as the American soldiers
become more proficient in military
training under actual war conditions.
If the plans of General Foch are
carried out the Amerioan Army, fight
ing as an American unit and holding
a strong position In the line of the
western front, will reach 400,000
within another si* weeks.
Japan Is to Raise
Army of 25 Corps
Toklo, June 15 The Entente
Governments of Europe are bringing
Increasing influence to bear to in
duce Japan to Intervene in Russia.
Among the several French officers
who have arrived in Toklo to con
sult with the Genaral Staff is Major
Plchon. who - was head of the French
military mission to Hussia and whose
recall was demanded by the Bolshe
vlki. Major Plchon Is striving for
intervention In Siberia as a mllitAy
necessity with the same energy that
he opposed Rumania's entrance into
the war as an ill-advised step.
Apparently, Japan is divided on the
question of intervention , but the
army is undergoing severe training.
l.ondon, June 15. A dispatch t.o
the Times from Toklo quotes the mll
tary correspondent of the Toklo
newspaper Asahi as saying that the
business considered by the Council
at the General Staff Office on June 7
was the abolition of the brigade sys
tem for the army, the adoption of a
cprps system similar to the German,
and the increase of the army to
twenty-five corps of two divisions
each, with each division containing
three regiments.

Pig's Feet Favorite
Dish of Senator
Wafdilnglon. You'd! expect of
course, that a United States senator's
favorite food would be something
solid and conservative, like roast
beef well done, or something: expen
sive and exclusive, like porterhouse
steak, or chicken a la king.
Consequently It may surprise you
to know that Senator Page, of Ver
mont, than, whom there is no more
shining example of senatorial dig
nity, Just dotes on pickled pig's feet.
He confessed that the recent pork
less days proved a trial to him, be
cause a very exclusive Washington
hotel where the senator often dines
refused to serve him the pig's feet,
on patriotic grounds.
Millersburg Ferry
Service Attacked
The first complaint to be filed
against a ferry company was enter
ed before the Public SerVlce Com
mission to-day by the borough coun
cil of Millersburg In which it is
charged that the Hunter & Radel
Ferry Company, which recently filed
an increase in rates tor ferrying
across the Susquehanna at that place,
was not chartered. Other allega
tions were that they operate as In
dividuals and run the ferry at their
own convenience, and not to accom
modate the public; that the boats and
equipment are crude and of "ram
shackle type;" that there Is no
schedule and that the old rates were
too high themselves and that there
is no justification for an advance. A
further demand is made for restric
tion of their operations until they
comply with state requirements for
public service.
