6ward Elliott Tells of Needs of (Special to the Herald). {New York, June 8.—Howard Elliott, ‘Jormer president of the New York, ew Haven and Hartford rallroad,’ nd ‘now a member of the rallroad’s ar board, in a statement imsued to- outlined the efforts the war oard is making to arrange for move- it of the essentials of life and war, Ather than “the things we can get without in this terrible world "The war board feels,” Mr. Elliott “that if the war goes on the amount ‘of transportation now lable will nqt be enough. it ‘be absolutely. necessary to such transportation as there is ‘.essential things. The public d willingly give up the non-es- G. FOX ‘wentials. . It is going to be a great deal more important for this country | to move food, fuel and iron and the | like than to move luxuries. We hope that we are goinz to be able to move them all, but I think it is only fair to point out the facts, and to ask the public’s support, Railroads Add to Equipment. ““The rallrosds Lave done their best in the last eightecn months to add to their cars and engines. There have been placed in service since November 1, 1916, 989 new engines and 44,063 new cars. Orders have been given for—as of April 1—2,209 engines and 104,917 cars. We hope they will be received between now and the first of next January. If so, there will have been introduced beitwean November 1, 7916 and January 1, 1918, 148,980 cars into the service, with an average capacity of over 50 toms: and which is very muoch above the average of the engines of the United States. “On May 1 there was, acoording to the record, a ‘shortage’ of . 150,000 cars. In round numbers there are 2,600,000 cars in the United States. If, through better loading by the ship- per, better unloading by the consignee, better movement by the rallroad, and more alert work by every man In the' rallroads, from the president down to thé water boy, each car is used efficiently, it will not take long to get what amounts to an added ser- X & CO. BUTTERICK’S 'PATTERNS Are Jocated in the Ch rch Street sec- vice ot 150,000 cars out of the cars on hand. ‘““The railroad war board appeals.to raliroad officers and . employes, -to shippers and to the public generally to co-operate in every way to make more efficient use of the existing rail- way plant. It is absolutely necessary to make every car, engine, °track, freight house, and every other appli- ance do more work. Movement of Fuel and Ore. “One of the first and most import- ant measures the railroads’ war board has under way is to help move a greater quantity of fuel to the north- west and at the same time to bring east the greatest quantity of iron ore possible from the upper lake ports. This will provide for industrial activ- ity both east and west next winter asd also insure a supply of domestic coal. “With the co-operation of the lake carriers and the ore carriers, we have arranged for a pooling of shipments of lake ‘coal so that when coal arrives at lower lake ports there will be min- imum delay in putting it into the boats, thus releasing the cars and sending the boats forward promptly. ““There is very luxurious passenger sprvice in some places in the country and we would like to keep it up, but the country can get along without some of it. We are suggesting changes in the passenger schedules, not with the idea of saving money, but simply to save man power, fuel and motive power, all of which must be applied to the transportation ofnecessities.. “The railroad war board has sup- plied to the government five trained railroad officers, who were commis- sioned to go to Russia to help the ‘Trans-Siberia railroad to move toward the Russian front the freight piled up at Vliadivostok. ‘“We are arranging to obtain nine regiments of trained railway officers and employes to help the English and French people carry on railroad activ- ities, principally’'in France. Organiztion of War Board. ‘“The war board’s organization in- cludes sixteen experienced railway of- ficers, including the five executives composing the head committee, and eleven others who are here perma- nently. There are in addition sixty- nine general employes, and eighteen inspectors who travel about the coun- try. S ~ “This is an expensive plete.of ma- chinery. Our estimates is that, not counting the services of. the war board’ and the railroad officers who are de- voting a very large amount of their time to this national work, the Améri- can railways will contribute the equiv- alent of about $500,000 a year to this special work. And we are glad to do it. “I think we will win this war soon- er if first we wake up to the magni- G. FOX & CO.

Rome, June 8.—The Italian censors office has been baffled for two years in an effort to discover the meaning of lttle 8roups of ' letters and dashes, such as “axyz-wtv” and so om, which appears at the end of news items sent out by The Associated Press in New York and re-mailed from there to The Associated Press correspondents from whom the items came. These marks are the initials of the writer, editor, or manifolder of the item, but apparently the employes of the censors bureau suspected they conveyed some mystic meaning for when received by theh' correspondent here, they have often been cut out of the pages, or carefully obliterated with ink or, sometimes, the entire batch of mall is ‘v‘mmuld for two or thres months at & me, The latter is the favorite method pursued by the censor's office for pre- venting information of a harmful na- ture from being disssminated. It is not unusual or news cables or busi- neas dispatches of a hature seeming suspicious to be quietly forwarded week or 5o after the sender has for- gotten having filed them. . On the whole, however, from American point of view, there has been little complaint regarding either cables or malls, considering the sctiv- ity of spies in Italy. Most of the com- plaints are made editorially by Italian which, when news is dull, an newspapers 'print long tirades declaring that the oensor is suppressing mhr-flu CAN'T HAVE TWO COATS.
