GURU. BOLTE
SUBMITS TB
OPERATION
The many Cordova friends of Carl
W. Bolte, formerly a railroad man
of this city, will be sorry to learn of
his serious illness at Anchorage.
Bolte underwent a serious opera
tion in the government hospital at the
railway city last week, and though he
successfully passed through the or
deal, he is reported to be still in
danger.
Mr. Bolte is at the head of the Bolte
Hardware Company, one of the largest
business concerns in Anchorage and Is
a pioneer merchant of that city. He
went there in May, 1915, from Cordova
and established his store in a tent in
the old town at the place where C
street now crosses the terminal
tracks. He was one of the first to
erect a permanent building on Fourth
avenue, and personally conducted his
hardware business until early this
spring, when the incorporation of the
business took place under the name of
Bolte & Company.
A REAL SYMPHONY.

LONDON, Oct, 8—One of the great
est of British war efforts has been In
the department of railway transport,
both at home and abroad. Very lit
tle has been said about this work, per
haps because it has gone on steadily,
silently and unobserved. Some time
ago Aristide Brian, then premier of
France, visited a great railway work
shop behind the British lines in
France. “The great fault I have to
find with you English," he said upon
that occasion, “is that you do enor
mous things, but nobody has any Idea —“
of what you are doing." ”
At home, war has put a tremendous
strain on railways. It was an Instance
of Britain’s military unpreparedness
that military and stragetic consider
ations found no place before the war
In her railway system and manage
ment. The railways lacked uniform
ity. For example, there were three
different types of air-brake in use, so
that rolling stock of different compan
ies often could not be made up into
one train. The width of cars and the
clearance space between tracks var
ied considerably. Very few stations
had adequate platform accommoda
tion for rapidly entraining troops.
During the three years of war much
progress has been made under govern
ment control of the railways, toward
standardization and such reconstruc
tion as was feasible to remedy the
most serious shortcomings. This is
frequently noticeable of rural stations “1
where platforms of the type most “
suitable for military use have replaced
the old suburban platforms, and gi
ven a military air to the otherwise
peaceful countryside.
The proper platform for entraining
troops is a wide one running the
whole length of the longest train.
Front such a platform troop trains
can be loaded at the rate of one an
hour, and this rate can be improved
upon with practiced troops. Where
a railway station possessed the most
-up-to-date platform facilities such as
all British station platforms will have
by the time the war is over, It is poss
ible to load two trains simultaneous
ly, and such a station is called in mil
itary parlance a "half hour station.”
At an ordinary old-fashioned way
side station is often necessary to al
n mu uuui o.
Entraining is the ruling factor in ....
calculating troop movements since de- S*
training does not take quite so long. Jji
The maximum normal capacity of
a double tracked line or railway in •&
England is figured by the military
specialists at six trains per hour each
way. in the early days of the war, 5?
the trains containing the British Ex- 3i
peditionary force were run into the if
docks at intervals of twrelve minutes jll
or at the rate of five per hour. On St
a single-track line, three trains per
hour hour can be worked each way. |
The ' principle adopted in moving 8
troops by train is that each train &
load should be a complete subdivision »
of a military unit. The size of such a
a train load is definitely limited by _
the number of coaches of which a
train can be made up with safety. An #
ordinary infantry battalion makes I
about two train loads . 1
During the five days when the first I
British military force was being
moved to France, 900 trains were run
loaded with troops and as many re
turned empty, giving an average of
360 trains a day employed in the
movement of troops alone. In the first
year of war, moves were made over
seas of 100,000 officers. 2,686,000 other
ranks and 542,000 horses. These fi
gures include cross-channel traffic and
all other moves made by sea. Figure*
for later years, presumably larger,
are not at present available.
