RAILROAD PLAYS IMPORTANT
PART IN WAR
(Continued From Page 5.)
Russian defeat. On the western front,
where the fighting has been more sta
tionary the highly developed railway
system of Germany meets the equally
highly developed system of France.
How well France and Germany are
prepared to meet the emergencies of
war transportation as compared with
the other belligerents, is shown in a
recent bulletin issued by the National
Geographic Society. The bulletin reads
“The total length of the railways of
the world is about 750,000 miles, of
which considerably more than foui
fifths falls to the continents of Europe
and America. The United States leads
all other nations of the w r orld in the
total of its railroad mileage, though it
is proportionately behind some of
them. Belgium, now back of the in
vaders’ lines, is one of the best sup
plied territories in the world for rail
communication, and the railways of
Great Britain, Germany and France are
equal to almost any strain that a war
traffic might put upon them.
“Europe possesses more than 212,-
500 miles of railway lines, of which
about one-third falls to the share of
the central German powers, the Ger
man Empire and Austria-Hungary.
Germany, with its 210,000 square miles
of area, has about 40,000 miles of rail
line, while France, with its 208,000
square miles, has 32,500 miles of
trackage.
“Russia and Finland, together, with
a total area of 2,095,616 square miles,
or very nearly ten times the size of
Germany, has a railway mileage
slightly less than that of Germany. In
great part, the Russian railways are
far-flung trunklines, and the Musco
vite land nowhere has anything cor
responding to the interweaving rail
way nets of Germany and France. This
lack of railway facilities has been one
of the disadvantages that the Russians
have had to obercome during the pres
ent war.
“The railways of Germany, France
and Austria-Hungary have been de
veloped with considerable attention to
their value in times of war. This feat
ure of railway development has been
especially prominent in Germany,
where the State has presided over the
growth and dtstinies of steam line
communication. Several great trunk
lines traverse Germany from her west
ern to her eastern frontier, and these
lines are prepared to bear almost anv
strain. Along the French border an
all-inclusive network of railroad has
been laid, while German railway lines
[parallel the Russian frontier, and re
ceive feedliines from all parts of the
Empire.”

occasion.
The flowers come from one of the
largest manufacturing plants in Chi

industry.
Those who wish to buy flowers will
be assisted in their design by Mr. A.

GRASS FIRES DISTURB
FIRE LADDIES USUAL
SUNDAY AFTERNOON SLEEP
The firemen were a busy crew on
Sunday. Three alarms were sounded
and as many times the boys in blue
responded and put out the flames. Two
of the three calls were turned in by
nervous people who mistook small
grass blazes for real property destroy
ing conflagrations. The other call was
the result of a small roof blaze.
The first Are call was turned in
by someone near the Seaboard depot.
A small patch of grass was on fire. The
second call brought the firemen to the
Y. M. C. A., where another patch of
grass was bcrning.
The only real fire of the day was on
Forrest street. A small tenant house
was slightly damaged by fire originat
ing from the kitchtn range.
