War freight shipments urged as railroads push for efficiency
Howard Elliott warns the war board that current transport will be insufficient if the war continues. He cites 989 new engines and 44,063 cars added since November 1916 and calls for better loading unloading and utilization to move food fuel and iron over luxuries. The board pleads for cooperation from officials shippers and the public to maximize existing rail capacity. Discoveries at the American Medical Association meet include an anaesthetic antiseptic and a serum surgery treatment for anthrax.
