Approximately 2,500 carloads of food and other necessities are being delivered daily by the railroads at the cantonments where the new National army and National guard are being trained for service abroad, according to reports received by the Railroads' War Board. The task which the railroads have been asked to perform is a difficult one. It involves the supplying of all the necessities of life for sixteen non-nrnHnrtivp cities of a population of 40,000 each and fifty-six smaller cities ranging in population from 300 to 3,000. Altogether more than a million men gathered at the various cantonments must have their daily necessities brought to them by the railroads. As it takes at least five pounds of food per day for each soldier in addition to the clothing, fuel and other supplies that are constantly needed, the railroads have their work cut out for them.

The largest skating rink In Europe, i measuring about 35,000 square yards, is at Davos, in the canton of the Orisons, Switzerland, where all the great international skating competitions take place. It is generally open from the third week in November until the middle of March, And the climatic conditions prevailing at that altitude of 6,200 feet are so excellent that it is indeed an exception when the rink has ever to be closed during this period. A considerable staff of men is employed to maintain the rink in order.
