country to tbe Mexican border.
Ilallroad officials cast and west unite

The way la cleared for the movement
of troop trains, and engines and cars

The problem of transporting supplies
may be more complicated. The eastern

freight congestion, but tbe mnnagers
believe sufficient enrs will lie available
to handle the additional business.
“Western railroads, facing their great
est teat for efficiency, can move the
80.1MM» to 1OO.9OO militia summoned to
tbe Mexican border without a bitch
and without affecting regular passen
ger traffic." This was tbe statement
of railroad officials who schedule the
operation of most ef the troop trains.
