NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, JANUARY 18, WADOO TAKES OVER RAILROADS HEAVE 700 LOGOMOTIVES SIGH OF RELIEF Engines to Beflm Bast Where Pleased by Order Allowing Them * Most Needed ‘ to Move Freight Washington, Jan. 18.—William G. MeAdoo, director general of railroads, has commandeered 700 locomotives in the course of construction for differ- ent railroads throughout the country. These are for delivery in January, Feruary and March, and will be turfed over for service on Easterh lipes, in charge of A. H. Smith, as- sistant director general, with offices in New York city. Owing to the fact that congress has not acted as yet on the railroad leg- islation recommended by the president thegdirector general is without au- thority or funds with which to buy equipment. The locomotives com- mandeered were contracted for by the railroa themselves before the period of government control. They Wil be charged to the different ra rtad accounts and regarded as equip- ment on hand when the government took charge. Many of the locomotives were in- fended for western railroads. They are not so badly needed there, how- ever, as in the east. The locomotives are being turned out at the rate of five a day at the present time, but it is expected that the output will be speeded up very soon by putting on additional shifts of labor and exerting ful capacity. ; May Take Foreign Locomotives. The locomotive building capacity of the United States is said to be about 500 a month. At the present time, however, the builders have some for- eign contracts which occupy much space. The prospects are that some Jan. 18.—Weather con- ditions during the five day business suspension ordered by Dr. Garfield, fuel administrator, will determine the amount of relief obtained, in the opinion of railroad officials. Most of the railroad men seem to be thankful for a breathing spell in which they will be able to clear the terminals and permit transportation to proceed along a normal course. They do not wish to discuss the fact that there are thousands of tons of coal at tide- water terminals in New Jersey. In their arguments the weather condi- tions seem to be paramount. A. H. Smith, assistant director gen- eral of railroads, yesterday gave out a statement for the public. In part it follows: “The railroads are not included in the partial suspension order. Under ‘present conditions their duty is to keep hard at it days, nights, Sundays and holidays. “I wish the public could appreciate what the effects of the weather con- ditions have been and are. In fifty vears, taking the testimony of the oldest railroad men, nothing ap- proaching them has been experienced. Men and metal have been taxed to the limit of their endurance and be- yond. | ""“AS I understand the intention, the five day partial suspension order fis aimed to give the railroads a chance to ‘dig out’ and move cars that are standing in the way of other move- ments.

Shell Shock. (Westminster Gazette) Shell shock is commonly supposed to be a new complaint, due to modern heavy artillery, but I have found a case of it as far back as the year 1471. The victim was an elector of Brandenburg, Friedrich of the Iron Teeth, and this is Carlyle’s account of his experience: “In that war with Pommern he sat besieging a Pomeranian town, Ucker- munde the name of it, when at din- | ner onme day a cannon ball plunged down upon the table with such a crash as we can fancy, which greatly confused the nerves of Friedrich, much injured his hearing and even his memory thenceforth.” The consequence was that the elec- tor abdicated at once and died soon afterward.
