...obligations to this organization for the purpose of enrolling in the Reserve Officers' Training Corps, according to a recent ruling of the Navy Department. Before a release will be given, however, the applicant for discharge must furnish the Commandant of the Naval District in which he is serving with proof that he is attending an educational institution which maintains a unit of the R.

In a country where the geographical division of labor and industry has been carried to such an extent as in America, the welfare of the people demands efficient and unified service on the part of the railroads at all times; conflicting interests of shippers...
