family 70 the United States. This Is
the richest country In the world in
liquid wealth and in the equipment for
the production Of everything the world
wants, either in war or peace. 1t has
the instinct and the experience OF
growth. Our industries HAYS practi-
cally doubled their outputs in ten
years, and now there ought not TO be an
idle man in the country for years to
come. II we could have a good organi-
cation and understanding with our
selves there would not be a man out OF
work.
"The war has brought us 20 a stand
still, and for the time we are the only
country that can contributs toward It's
progress. From every quarter appeals
come to the United States for help. II
is a new position and a new experience
for us. We have been supp icants our
selves in the pas. and we ought 10
know from our own history what an
opportunity the undeveloped countries
now offer us.
"Our neighbors, tho other countries
Of the Americas, have great stores OF
natural wealth and raw materials
which our factories can use, and they
need capital, not in tie form of money.
but in the form Of railways, machinery
and supplies Of every kind, the making
Of which would help to keep our fac
tories busy for years TO come"
In concluding his address Mr.. Van
derlp said: "The position, the pros
perity, the influence of the United
States for the next twenty-five years
will be tremendously Influenced and, IN
deed. almost determined, by the course
we take in the next twenty-five months.
To an unusual degree there will low
from the political, business and indi-
vidual decisions that we make In the
next two months consequences that will
for many more years affect our destiny.
There was seldom, II ever, needed in
our political councils calmer minds,
more farseeing craftsmanship and more
practical grasping OF the essence OF
business life. In the conduct of busi-
ness there has seldom, If ever, been
greater need for broader vision, for O
fresh imagination that will deal
soundly and effectively with new OPP
portunities Of vast import.
"That there are tremendous oppor-
tunities ahead OF us II we are equal to
prasping them and equal to discharg-
ing the responsibilities thai go with
them there can be no doubt"

GERMAN WARSHLP
AID CASE GOES
TO JURY TO-DAY
Four Defendants Admit
Sending Out of Mer-
chant Vessels.
DENY ANY ATTEMPT
TO DECEIVE u. S.
Government Counts on Charge
of Fraud In Obtaining
Clearance Papers.

All the testimony offered by the de-
fence In the trial Of DR.. Karl Buenz.
the Hamburg-American Line and others
on the charge of conspiracy TO defraud
the United States was presented yes
terdsy. Only four witnesses were
called. They were DR.. Buenz, Adolph
Hochmeister, George hotter and Joseph
Poppinghaus, all defendants.
They took the stand to show that as
German subjects they were merely
carrying out instructions Of the home
Office of the Hamburg-American Line
when they chartered and sent out neu-
trail merchantmen with supplies ana
coal for German warships. IL was
shown that the steamship company had
had an agreement with the German
government 70 do this work in the
event of war and that was one Of the
reasons why Dr. Buenz, who admitted
he had little or no experience in the
steamship business, assumed the place
Of resident director Of the company IN
New York.
All the defendants ended their testi-
mony with the statement that they had
never intended TO deceive or defraud
the United States.
DIR. Buenz was the first witness at
the morning session. He told OF the
ente-bellum agreement Of his company
20 coal warships Of the German Empire
and of the instructions he received oc-
easionally from the Hamburg stating
where the cruisers might be found. lie
said he WAS in desperate straits ioI
money at first, and spent $4,000 OF
the company's money in banks here:
Later he got about sl,5OO,OOO, all OF
which was spent for the supply armada.
He said he never knew that might
have been violating the law in carry
ing out the German governments
orders.
II took It for granted that all the
laws of the United States would be
met" he said. 81 never had any doubt
in my mind that the laws were being
respected. never intended to violate
any law of the United States
Feared Allies Spies in New York.
lie explained that he did not send
the ships out in the name OF the Ham
burg-American Line, as many spies or
the enemy were known 20 be in the
city and the information would surely
reach British cruisers which were lying
along the eastern coast of the United
States. He assured Mr.. Wood that it
was the intention Of the Hamburg
American Line to send oil vessels TO
destination even though empty after
coaliny German war vessels.
Asked what he thought was his obli-
cation TO the United States in all these
transactions, Mr.. Buenz replied: 81
didn't give IL much thought"

FREIGHT DELAY
CALLED A TRICK
Railroads Trying to Put
Something Over" Mer-
chants Declare.
STORAGE TIME CUT
FIRMLY PROTESTED
Lines Officials Say That 10000
Cars Dumping at City's Back
Door Are Big Puzzle.

While transportation officials at a
meeting Of their own were figuring OUT
WAYS and means Of breaking the freight
lam a. New York's back door, speakers
az a gathering Of members Of the Mer-
chants Association Of New YORK yes
terday peppered the railroads win
verbal buckshot.
Charges were made at the merchants
meeting that the roada, in cutting 'he
time o. free storage in terminals and
on piers from thirty days 20 htteen'
were trying to put something over
It was denied there was anything IN
present conditions TO warrant such a
reduction, and those present went on
record unanimously as opposed to the
plan.
The merchants meeting was presided
over by !. c. Lincoln, manager OF the
traffic bureau of the association, VINO
led a discussion in which the freighV
congestion was discussed from every
angle. Various of the speakers mt
mated that tho congestion is not que
entirely 10 the war and the attendant
iump in American export trade, put
that the inadequacy Of the yards mas
more TO do with conditions. Inis IN
adequacy, IL was said, has been demon
strated In ordinary times.
Nor was the railroad explanation OF
lack of lighters completely credited
One speaker asserted the great trouble
is the inability OF the roads TO get cars
out OF the congested yards and TO the
docks. Another said he had missed SIX
steamers because a certain railroad
hadn't been able 10 get mis- car from
the ward to the dock. Still another,
corroborating him, said car contain
ing his product had missed two boats
and almost missed third for the same
reason.

by c. C. Mccain, chairman OF the Trunk
Line Association. In a review OF the sly,
uation they we're told that 40,ooo
freight cars, loaded. are jammed In Ne"
York terminal yards or coming tow
ard them.
At the close Of the conference the
chairman gave out the following state
ment 20 the newspapers;
AT meeting Of the committee there
was pres -nted review OF trathc on tne
traffic lines leading to New YORK lndl-
eating that there were 10000 cars either
al terminals or on the lines OF roads

submitted as to the situation on eaen
road"

Free Storage Cut Protested.

c. F. Gregory, OF the international
Harvester Company, told his fellow
merchants that the railroads long had
been trying TO reduce the time OF free
storage in yards and terminals, and
were taking advantage of the present
situation 10 put something over"
J. W. Hart, OF the international
Steam Pump Company recommended
that exporters and shippers make an
attempt 70 get together with the rail-
roads.
an view Of The present congestion
the railroads would work hardship
on shippers by cutting the free storage
period" he said. Instead Of reducing
the time from thirty days 70 fifteen, 1t
should be increased 20 sixty days"
The merchants were Of the general
impression that the railroads, which al
ready have filed the proposed new reg
ulation with the Interstate Commerce
Commission, intended TO start the iif-
teen day system January /. With only
n month in which to act, II was agreed
that the association should take imme-
date steps 20 ascertain the attitude OF
the railroads and thus have time 20
prepare evidence for protest to the
commission.
IL is uNucISlOOu bHdL the lOhuS NOulN
request susper sion OF the tariff, de-
spite the fact that it already has been
fled. To persuade the roads to make
such a request to the commission the
merchants appointed n committee OF
FIVE. In case an agreement cannot be
reached with the railroads the commit
tee was empowered to request the In
terstate Commerce Commission, through
the Merchants Association. for a sus-
pension of the rule pending hearing
at which shippers might present their
side Of the case. Those on the com
mittee are Mr.. Hart, Frank Oliver. of
Oliver Brothers; c. r. Gier, Of Gregg
& CO.; W. d. Batting, of John H.
Graham g. Co., and c. A. Richards, OF
Bowring & Co.
Railroads Make Defence.

agent Of the line, said he had been
with the Hamburg American Line since
1884. but professed to know little or
nothing about the clearance papers Of
the vessels chartered by his company.
Joseph Poppinghaus, supercargo Of
the steamship Berwind, the only vessel
able TO deliver the goods" admitted
that an American clearance paper was
q good thing to show in case a vessel
was boarded by a hostile officer, and
declared that he had destroyed his in
structions from Hamburg, as they
might have been the means Of making
him a prisoner If the Berwind had
been searched.
The defence and prosecution will
sum up to-day. As Judge Howe's
charge is expected 10 be short, the case
probably will go to the jury this az

Statistics of our foreign trade for the first ten
months Of the year show very clearly the extent
to which the removal of duties important agr-
cultural products has brought the American farmer
into competition in his market with foreigners.
Imports coming under the head of foods increased
more than $9400o000 the corresponding period
in 1918. The imports of foodstuffs including corn,
of which vast quantity was imported from Argen-
tine increased from $15,106,503 to $27.7S%.966. I'M
ports of meats and dairy products increased from
$1326S$3S to s3,9S7,25S Imports of sugar increased
from $92,175o52 to $11S,7d19S7. Several other items
showed increases in smaller proportion. The
tariff law has given the American farmer keener
competition than he ever had before. The Canadian
farmer is able to meet him terms in the
United States. No wonder he is restless and dis
satisfied and voted last fall against the party
sponsible for the existing condition things
