"The thousands of soldiers in train ing camps today and with the thou sands that will be brought into ser vice with the lowering and raising of the proposed draft law, it is a real tavy job to transport them across sea, an-1 it is for this work that Uncle Sam calls on the young men of this State to help carry on. We must supply our soldiers with food and munitions and in addition, the soldiers and peo ple of our allies, and without men to man the ships that are being built, this work can not be successfully done.

On Aug iust 1 the P. & N. was taken under control by the government, and as the Southern is under the same con 'troel, the two lines are under the same management. The commission took into consideration the fact that the roads are imder the same manage ment, and granted the petition in or der- to help conser"e the resources of the government. The granting of the petition simply means that when the Southern has a train due, no train will be operated by the P. & N. line.
