’’The effect of thin delayed move
ment haa been many fold:
Flrat, to Jeopardize the nafety
of a great deal of the aoft corn and
pet inhablen such * as potatoes.
“Second. The ntrlcture In flow
of distribution has entirely disturb
ed the price conditions in the coun
try by practically suspending the
law of supply and demand. The mar
gins between the farmer and the
consumer In many commodities were
never wider than they are today be
cause the consuming trades are un
der supplied and the farmers com
pete for transportation. Prices of
the coarse grains have reached un
heard of levels, while-the limited
transportation had diminished the
farmers’ returns.
“Third. The cost of grains for
feeding live stock has so increased
to the feeders of finished cattle that
they face serious losses. The costs
of the dairying industries have nec
essarily greatly increased.
“Fourth. Through the large con
suming areas we have been living
off reserves through the period of
scant supplies. These reserves are
in many sections approaching ex
haustion.
“Fifth. We have been unable -to
transport to seaboard the necessary
foodstuffs for the allies. This has
not been due so much to the actual
inability of the railways giving prior
ity to foodstuffs for allied shipping
as it has to bringing products from
the farms to the terminal markets,

Overseas ship tonnage available
to America and th« Allies passed its
low point about February l, 1 several
weeks earlier than shipping experts
had predicted. Officials believe the
upward curve will continue until the
war Ity ended unless difficulties not
now foreseen are encountered.
In support of this belief attention
was called to the satisfactory re
sults obtained in the campaign
against enemy submarines, to the
fact that government ships now are
coming from American yards and
to the progress of negotiations for
neutral vessels to be used in the non-
hazardous trades to release other
shipping for overseas commerce.
When experts first plotted the
curve of the tonnage supply, taking
into consideration the greatest suc
cess of submarines and all possible
contingencies in the domestic situa
tion they found that the number of
vessels available for transporting
troops and for feeding the Allies
would be lower toward the end of
this month than at any other period.
Just how close Uj the-danger point
that would be they did not care to
say. Knowledge that the Germans
sank about six million tons of ships
in 1917, nearly three times as much

Head to Hetid Men to Work
President Wilson took^i hand Sun
day night in the Eastern shipyard
labor strikes and issued a “sharp re
buke lo* William L. Hutchinson,
president of tne urotnerhood of Car
penters and Joiners, who after re
fusing to send striking ship carpen
ters back to .work pending actvn
by the shipbuilding labor adjust
ment board, had asked for a per
sonal conference to lay the situati >n
beforethe president.
In effect the president declared
that if Hutcheson did not want to
give aid and comfort to the enor>v
he would send the men to work and
leave a settlement of differences to
the adjustment board and declined
to see him until he had done so.
The president sent this telegram to
the union chief:

“I have received your telegram
of yesterday and am very glad to
note the expression of your desire as

Taking advantage of that assurance.
I feel It to be my duty to call your
attention to. the fact that the strike
of the carpenters in the shipyards is

into action In Franc# and its part
will be a growing one. Neverthe-
leas. America has a greater role than
that of Ita army. The aplrlt of the
entente allied people must be con
tinually supported and refreshed by
the daily consciousness of the justice
of our alms. The minds of the
people must be filled with ideals.
“President Wilson's part can be
much greater than the military ac
tion of the American army. By his
international diplomatic action in
support of his ideals — that is the
supreme' part which America has.
President Wilson can become not
only tlie leader of American democ
racy but the leader of a world de
mocracy and I can assure you his
influence already is very considera
ble with the peoples of Germany and
Austria.”

since coming into control oa Jaaa-

remedy but during the month of
January the weather waa Inauperba-

the situation ia the accumulation of
three months’ delays
“The next 60 days will be the
most critical period in our food his
tory The Ktuiple fact is that the
problem goes far deeper than sup
plies to the allies •During the last
three months we have fallen far
behind in movement of food stuffs
from the farms to the consuming and
storage centers. Up to the first of
* February less than 50 per cent of the
normal ratio of corn has been mov
ed; less than SO per cent of the
oats and less than 50 per cent of
the potatoes. From November 1 to
January 1 we were short in the
usual movement of grain and grain
products into the terminal by over
120,000 car loads—over 120,000
bushels and this further aggravated
by similar shortage outside the ter
minals.
“Furthermore, this year we have
the large#! percentage of soft corn
in many years and though we have
a record crop of corn, a considera
ble portion of the soft corn will be
lost by spoiling unless it can be
moved in the next 00 days to the
drying terminals. The least amount
of grain that must be loaded for the
next 60 days is eight million bushels
per'day—and we have not yet at
tained that less than this will
solve neither the allied nor our do
mestic situation.
“We had about 111,000 carloads
of potatoes November 1 which should
have been moved from the principal
producing centers and up to the
first of February we had moved
about 28,000 carloads while we
should have moved over 50.000 in
this period The result is that po
tatoes are piled 4ip spoiling in (he

he had read with profound disap
pointment the replies given to Presi
dent Wilson and to the declara
tions of the British government by
Count von Hertling, the German
chancellor, and Count Czernin, the
Austro-Hungarian foreign minister.
The premier added it was perfectly
true that as regarded the tone, there
was a great deal of difference be
tween the two speeches and he wish

ference in substance. .,
Mr. Lloyd Gorge said the govern

marine in the English channeh re
cently probably resulted in the sink
ing of the U-boat after it had been
bombed by the planes, according to
an official announcement by the
French admiralty.
The airplanes were on patrol duty
over the channel when they discov
ered the submarine on the surface.
They attacked it after manoeuvering
so that the sun was at their backs
and the submarine plunged, but it
did not disappear before the aviators
had succeeded in dropping several
bombs on or near th6 periscope.
While one airplane returned to the
base for more bombs the other kept
watch and saw' the submarine emerge
after a few seconds with a list to
port of 45 degrees. After attempting
to right itself the submarine again
disappeared, only to reappear a third
time. Its instability, however, in
creased, and suddenly the observer
saw the submarine list still further
and sink so that even the periscope
could not be seen.
