Where the Germans are now Viunehlnp the robots has not been learned. The fact that the recent attacks have included only a few bombs suggests thev may have been loosed from aircraft. Some coastal areas still are held' by the Germans, however, and there is said to be a possibility that the range of the robots mav have been stenped un so that launching sites well inland could be used.

Things you may not know about a busy western neighbor Southern Pacific has been a part of western life for three quarters of a century. We've had our share of brickbats, and we've had our share of praise. Mostly we've been taken pretty much for granted, like the paper boy or the milkman. Since Pearl Harbor, though, people generally have regarded Southern Pacific and the other railroads with new understanding and appreciation. Now, when the chips are down, they seem to realize how indis pensable the railroads really are. Because of Southern Pacific's strategic location In relation to the war against Japan, we have been called upon to carry an enormous westbound burden. In addition, we are handling vast quantities of raw materials and finished products of greatly expanded western industries, plus an abnormally large east bound movement of foodstuffs. - The six facts belownay help explain the unprece dented burden we are carrying, and why our service to civilians is not as good as we'd like it to be: 1 Id freight and passenger volume, South ern Pacific is the third largest railroad in America. Only the Pennsylvania and New York Central are carrying a bigger load than Southern Pacific. 2 Southern Pacific'! 15,000 miles of line (more than any other United States railroad) are predominately single track, requiring the most accurate and exacting kind of railroading. a Southern Pacific serves more military and naval establishments than any other railroad in the U. S. From New Of leans to Portland an endless chain of ail bases and encampments adjoins our lint. ' - ' -s MIB7V4Aa M We serve more military meals to per sonnel of the armed forces than any other two U. S. railroads combined. And, of courso, service men and women have first call on our restricted ration points. sT Southern Pacific crosses innumerable mountain ranges, and has to climb more major summits than any other U. S. railroad. It takes more locomotives to pull trsins up steep mountain grades. Southern Pacific baa the main north and south line along the Pacific Coas serving the principal ports of embarkatioa from San Diego to Portland. Naturally, troop trains must come first with us.
