War Will Not Atfect Seashore R. R. Service

A bulletin issued by the Pennsylvania Railroad this week states that every effort will be made by the Company to reduce the numbers of passenger trains, and passenger and freight trains will be consolidated so far as poasible, to move the great shipments of food stuffs that are now taxing freight service to its : limit- With reference to its seashore .service, however, the bulletin de-

' dares:

As far as can now be foreseen, will be able to furnish substantially the usual suvmrr service to seashore and other reaort points, beginning July Dt. This is because the lines reaching such points, for the most part, handle little freight and do not seem likely to be needed extensively, in the near future, for military purposes. Circumstance-*, of course, may at any time alter and neieasitate a change of our plans in this tegard.
