and transportation covered.

This opinion lias previously been expressed
to the president by*other government
leaders and the belief here fco^ fght
Is that the pooling of resources
by the eastern roads is only the first
forward stop toward complete government
control for the period of the war
Shortage of equipment will hare to

Coal production can be increased to

to have told the president that

In other words, car shortage is the

as far as it possible without definite

Plans Historical Park.
Pennsylvania plans a park to commemorate
the site at Taylorsville
where Washington and his Continentals
embarked on their trip across
the Delaware to capture the Hessians
at Trenton, writes a correspondent,
and Governor Brumbaugh recently
signed a bill appropriating $25,000 for
i-niY-hosft of'the land at the place
of embarkation.
The Pennsylvania Historical society
and the Daughters of the Revolution
of Pennsylvania four years ago each
pledged a sum equal to that the state
might give for such a park, and the
payment of these pledges will give a
fund of $75,000 for the establishment
of the park. Actual construction, however,
will not begin until after the
war.
The place on the other side of the
river where the Continentals ianded
was utilized several years ago oy the
state of New Jersey for a park similar
to the one planned by Pennsylvania.

Convicts In the royal armies seem to

won by these men is a criterion, they
are indeed second to none In valor ana

since the beginning of the war.
Of these, three received the Victoria
Cross, twenty-five received the D. S.

O. and twenty have been mentioned in
dispatches. The former convicts have
consistently shone in the greatest battles
and it is reported that over half
} of them have been killed, and a high
percentage of the remainder carry
