I wish to suggest that all superior of- ber of passenger traffic throughout’ the country. The smaller the num- ber of passengers who travel, the greater the number of locomotives and cars and the larger the amount of! track and terminal facilities that will be freed for essential troop and war material movements. Engineers, firemen and other skilled laboers will also be released for service on troop and necessary freight trains. Among the many patriotic duties of the American public at this time is the duty to refrain from traveling unnecessarily. Every man; woman and child who can avoid using passen- ger trains at this time should do so. I earnestly hope that they will do so. Not only will they liberate essen- tial transportation facilities which are necessary for war purposes, but they will save money which they can invest in Liberty Bonds, and thereby help themselves as well as their coun- try; and the fewer who travel, the more ample the passenger train serv- ive will be. I may add that consistently with the paramount demandes of the war, every possible effort is being made by the railroad administration to sup- plyitns i hapgebti@désible amount.of comfortable ::and- prompt passenger | train service.

Washington, Aug. 21—As a result of allied successes from Rheims to the North Sea the line has been reduced fifty miles, General March told the newspapermen at his midweekly con- ference today.
