New York, Oct. 22. When the United States entered the war last April, I was pursuing my duties as traveling passenger agent for the Delaware & Hudson Company with headquarters in New York City. Today, I pend an average of 16 hours a day in the interest of Uncle Sam, not as a soldier but as a civilian worker. Like most men who had spe cialized on one certain line of work, I pondered at the time war was de clared as to just what I could do to help. After much thought, I decided that in as much a the railroads were the third arm of National defense, the Army and Navy being virtually help less without them, I could best serve my country by sticking to the line of work in whicfe my training had been secured. Shortly after that decision, I was sent to the tnnmng camp at Platts burg to represent the railroads sup plying that camp and to co-operate in every way with the army officials to secure the prompt hand!(ng and dis patch of troop trains and supplies. Since that time I have been putting in an average of IB hours a day for Uncle Sam and I hope I have been able to accomplish a great deal in the way of relieving the camp officers of transportation arrangements. Mv principal duty is to co-operate as the representative of the railroads : with the commander and quartermas ! ter in transportation matters. My 1 work in the main runs about as fol lows: Each morning I check up the location o' camp supplies en route, ' making a report in the afternoon to the commanding officer, so that they may keep in touch with minimum ef fort with each car of hay, coal, pota toes or other supplies for the camp. Should a movement of troops be contemplated, it is my duty to deter mine the number of cars required oth er than tourist cars, the number of persons who will travel, the amount of baggage and all other details neces sary to enable the railroad officials to act with diligence in the assembling and placing of this equipment. A representative similar to myself is stationed at every camp of import ance in the country and is doing his bit to keep the tremendous amount of freight and troop train movements un der wav without interfering with the regular commercial traffic of the country. The job is not a sinecure, but knowing that it is in the best in tercsts of my country, it gives me sat isfaction to serve. the Chamberlain's Cough Remedy I Most Reliable. !
