A coNeREssMAN's VIEWS.

Just at the time when the prenaiars of the entente nations are calling for closer cooperation that the best re- suits may be gained from the efforts that are being put forth and the greatest use secured from the ra- sources that are available. it is an interesting statement whici; is made by MediIl Mccormick of Chicaeo, a member Of congress who has just re- turned from Europe. Con~ressrnan n Mccormick has been visiting the fighting fronts in Belgium France and Italy and he has been making Q study of the conditions which exist there that he may have first hand irfo~r7a- tion with which to do his 'a~t h-, t'>e assembling of congress tr secn7inr z the needed action cn the part cf this country. ---
 As he sizes un the situation. re cannot see any chance fer peace h~- fore 1919 and frcfn the study which he has been able to make it is his belief that the issue of the war will be de- cided in Washington and by tho fur naces of America. He refers with en- thusiasm to the American army which has been sent to France and to the effect which this has had in assur- trg our allies not only of tine fighting strength which We are to give them hut of the industrial forces which stand back Of them.
 He also makes it a point to hit up- cn the importance of greater coordi- nation Of effort and declares that we must have a war council that repre- serts in the greatest degree the ener- gy and genius of America. There can be little question but wha: the con- gressman is dealing with the cold facts and it will not be wise to shunt his views to one side without due con- sideration.

DEVELOP ALL TRANSFORMATION

From time to time we have been vemirded of the great help that can te obtained in meeting the transpor- tatfon requirements and thereby give neeaed relief to the railroads by the ptflfzstton of the waterways. It was oAly recently that the fuel adminis- trator. received a report from an army ofdcer. who was assi gned to in- rastfEata the matter, to the effect that tha. demand for coal in New England euufd he met by sending it by water, which as q large part of New England already Knows Is the way in which &Isrse part of it's supply of this fuel Is ordinarily received.
 Now an organization known as the Patriotic Education society calls the 9ttsntion of congress and the legisla- ture of New York state to the fact tfsht much of the congestion of the eastern railroads could be relieved by utiffz9ne the barge canals if some body would build the necessary heTges. It is quite necessary if we are going to make use of waterways tAat there should be provided the needed vessels.
 shipyards of various sizes are busy at the present time in turning out ships but there is every reason to be-, nsVe that there are yards where G4rges could be constructed which wouid mot interfere with the ship hufl6ing programme which is intended to relieve the transoceanic and coast rise tF1fne. If we have canals which are Practiczffy idle for lack of barges # would appear to be as necessary to deynte some attention to this question of harges for use thereon as it is to Estting new rolling stock for the rail- reads. We must realize that we have get fo make use of every means of trAuspoftation and it is time that we got busy and met the requirements

the following dispatch, receiwd there
from the Folff bureau. inn Berlin: .asss
at is learned thatnhe crews of'the
merchant ships brought to Germany
aboard the British steamer Yarrowdale
have been released. Though it is held
by reason Of the present circumstan-
ces the. Aemrican sailors might have
been treated as prisoners of war. 1t
was decided some time ago to release
them as an exceptional measure, they
having begun their voyage without
knowing that they exposed themselves
to treatemnt as prisoners because they
shipped aboard army enemy merchant
men.
"After Tho rupture of relations with
the Unitcd States news reached Ger.
many THAT German ships had been seiz
ed and their crews interned That
news gave rise to the idea that it
migth be prudent not to liberate the
American sailors until official infor
nation was received as to the rea
situation Information now has been
received officially that German ships
in American ports have not been
seized and that their crews have not
been interned."
