NEW YORK. Dec. s.--Railroad officials
here say that war munitions and other
freight consigned for export to foreign
governments are not subject TO the en-
barge on iron and steel articles imposed
by the Lehigh Valley railroad and on all
export freight by the Central Railroad of
New Jersey. The products OF ammunition
factories. the officials say, will go
through New York as usual because Il is
not the war munitions that are causing
the freight congestion here ana at other
Atlantic ports.
II IL explained that when q quantity of
freight consigned to Great Britain or any
European government is brought here for
export II no vessel happens to be avail
able. the foreign government acquisitions
some vessel flying it's flag TO carry the
freight across the ocean. The railroad
men say II Is the freight consigned to
private brokers who must use private
means Of transatlantic transportation that
has caused the congestion.
A committee of shippers belonging to
the Merchants association win confer
today with members OF the trunk line
association in an effort to prevent the
reduction by the railroads Of free storage
time from thirty to fifteen days.
There Is little danger Of a scarcity of
flour in New York City because Of the

(COntlnueu from Fhko OnSJ
from the captain Of a steamer. who said
that while he was cruising near Tobruk
he witnessed the sinking OF an American
nfeanser by submersible. lie thought
sha name OF this steamer was the Column
biz. Inquiries made later, especially
through the British authorities, proved
that tho chip was the Communipaw.
The Communipaw had aboard 1900
tons of oil and had been held up at
Genoa 10 settle question concerning
1000 tons OF this oil. which the Italian
authorities suspected might be contra
hand The Communipaw was released
after satisfactory explanation had been
received.

LONDON, nee. s--A telegram from AL
exandria, Egypt, received today by
I.loyds, says that the American steam
shsp aCommunipaw. reported sunk off the
coast Of Tripou by submarine, was at
| Alexandria on Monday. II Is inferred
that possibly some confusion has arisen
m regard to the identity Of the vessel
ltorpedoed.
If the report Of the torpedoing OF the
communipaw is substantiated. It must
have discharged It's cargo Of oil and have
hear ON the way TO another port when
attacked. II Is recalled that the point
N which the Communipaw is said 70
lhave been sunk corresponds closely TO the
posltion OF the American tank ship Pc
troiite when Il was attacked by sub

ltorpoaoing OF the Communipaw said Il
had been sunk near Trobnck, Tripol. Ths
position Of the Petrolite was given as OFF
