ENLISTED MEN TO GET LOWER RATES IN RAILWAY FARE

Washington, May 24.—Soldiers and sailors on furlough and traveling at their own expense will be given special passenger rates of about one cent a mile under an order issued today by Director General McAdoo, to become effective as soon as the necessary forms are printed and disfl ributed, probably within two weeks. This fare will be allowed by ticket agents on presentation of a certificate from the commanding officer.
