1 HIS World War, more than
any other war in history, is a
problem in transportation. Old
General Forrest said the main
idea was to get there “fastest with
the mostest.” Modern warfare is
an extension of that idea —- to get
there first with the most men and
also the most tanks, planes, guns,
ammunition and supplies.
Transportation is thus one of
the most critical and vital phases
of modem warfare. Street rail
ways move thousands of war
workers to and from their jolis,
and electricity moves the street
cars. The railroads, suddenly
called upon to carry soldiers by
the millions and mountainous vol
umes of military freight, are able
to keep up with their assignment
only by the most rapid and effi
cient use of their rolling stock.
The movement of trains, in turn,
depends upon the unfailing func
tioning of their electric signal
lights. Should these lights go out
lor even a short lime, hopeless
confusion, and perhaps wreckage,
would result.
G
One special transportation job
in Georgia is of urgent impor
tance to the whole nation, be
cause of the success of German
submarines in sinking our tank
ers. Two pipe lines that cross
Georgia, to supply gasoline and
oil to the sore- pressed Atlantic
seaboard, can deliver about 3,750,-
000 gallons a day, when in full
operation. This great quantity of
gasoline is moved across the state
by big pumps, electrically operat
ed. They have a combined capac
ity of 8,600 horsepower and they
require about 50,000,000 kilowatt
hours a year under full operation.
Supplying power for this new ele
ment in the war program was a
major undertaking, but our men
met the demand. They built new
power lineE and ten new electric
sub-stations. And when the pipe
lines were ready, power was
ready, too.
Transportation in all its phases
is vital if we are going to win the
war. Supplying the power to aid
transportation in doing its big
job ranks high on our list of war
assignments.
