FOOD.
Railroad Equipment Declared to BE
Inadequate 10 Public Needs.

To TIRE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: The
railroads are common carriers. but in
practice they place an embargo on the
small shippers OF perishable products.
The roads own very few refrigerator
cars and depend on the big meat pack
ing firms and fruit associations for such
cars. nor do they provide freight cars
with heating facilities for safe trans
%portation In the winter season OF prod
ucts liable to be frozen.
This tends toward monopoly and
against the shipper who handles less
than car lots.
Under present practices milk IL
shipped from n distance by the big dis
tribu,ing firms who provide their
ice to keep the milk cool. and the ship
per who wishes TO ship ten cans OF milk
is prevented from SO doing because the
railroads do not supply iced cars FOR
perishsble products.
On the other hand shippers o. .ru.,
and vegetables in the winter season are
obliged TO line and heat the cars at an
added expense in order TO prevent freez-
Ing in transit, and this feature places
an embargo on the person who ships in
less than carloads.
Railroads should be Obliged 10 fur
nish iced cars in the summer and prop
erly heated cars in the winter for the
safe transportation OF perishable food
products and should he held responsible
for their safe transit.

The neutral world, rs well as the
Entente Allies, would like to believe
that the Overtures OF the TeutOnic
Powers for peace were inspired by a
righteous purpose to bring the war
To an end on terms honorable and
just to all participants and holding
the assurance that industry and civil
lization could be resumed with no
fear that the sword would be drawn
again on any pretext.
At the season when peace on earth
and good will toward men should be
the universal sentiment, as 1t Is where
the horrors of war are not known,
It would seem a mOnstrOus thing to
tribe with the agony In the souls of
the unfortunate people Of Europe. to
propose a resort to peace negotiations
with no intention of entering upon
them with honest resolution and in Il
spirit Of compromise, but with design
to effect by parley what has not been
gained by victory.
The approaches to the Vatican and
the neutral Governments could have
been made before. since long cOnsid'
Grafton Of n purpose to negotiate Is
professed and m earlier overture Is
emphasized; but not until the Ru'
manian campaign ended with the &C.
capatiOn of Bucharest and the Brit

reconstructed TO carry on the war
with greater vigor was the proposal
launched. 1t will be remembered
too. that the way was prepared by
an intimation to the German people
that there would be joyful tidings
for them before Christmas. The psy
Geological and political effects Of the
overture were duly considered, also
the dramatic character Of 1t. There
Gun he no doubt of that. As the news
was given To the world the German
Kaiser enthusiastically commanded HE

The Governments Of the Entente

4 Shortage In Pearls.

The yield OF American pearls Is
small this year; not even as much rs
Il third of the yield of n normal sea-
son. according to the estimate Of col
lectors. 1t may be a cruel disillusion-
ment to say so. but the fact Is that

Persons who have imagined that
their pearls came from that mysteri.

may really have come from some
where In the middle West. The

hues Of a valued pearl the depths OF

muddy bottom OF the Wabash. and
instead Of swarms of half naked Orien-
tails on n dhow. only some lazy. pa
tient soul floating along n shallow
Arkansas stream in n fiat boat.
In reality the value of the pearl in.
dustry of this country is about $1,000
900, including everything. jewels OF
worth and small white shirt buttons.
Several valuable pearls were found
this season In Indiana and Illinois
streams, n gem taken from the
Ohio sold for 5000, n days fishing In
Southern streams yielding more than
$1,000, and the value of ten a fish
ing in Wisconsin rivers was estimated
