CAR SHORTAGE

Traffic Manager G. M. Freer, Of
the Chamber of Commerce., has is
sued warning to shippers to an
ticipate as far as possible in adj
vance shipments of materials to
Cincinnati and Shipments of manu-
featured products from that city.
Mr.. Freer based his warning upon
unprecedented car shortage at this
time, and the prospects of further
shortage in the future. The car
shortage of the country April l was
$4,000 cars. This shortage has
somewhat diminished, but not to
any great extent. Cincinnati ship
pers, according to Mr.. Freer, are
not suffering greatly from the car
shortage for outgoing shipments.
I'll This is due TO the fact that a great
quantity of materials constantly
coming into the. city gives sur
plus of empty cars for shipments
from the city. In sections where
manufacturers do not predominant,
the ear shortage is very acute.
Within a few weeks it is antici-
pated that the Government will com
mence the shipment of materials to
mobilization camps, and will later
follow with the shipment Of troops
and supplies to these centers. 1t is
estimated that the amount of lum-
Der for use in the establishment of
cantonment will amount to from
100000 to 1,000,O00,00O lineal
feet, requiring thirty thousand cars
foEethis Government purpose alone.
1t is therefore apparent that Gin
cinnati shippers should take every
precaution possible to supply them
selves with raw materials and to
expedite their shipments from the
city in anticipation of the immense
demand for rolling stock by the
Government in the near future.

herself a real empire Of trade and in

world. We were content to abide the
rivalries of manufacture. science and

we had or not have the brains and
the initiative to surpass her. But at
the moment when she had conspicu-
ously won her triumphs of peace she
threw them away to establish in their
stead what the world will no longer
permit to be established, military and
political domination by arms, by
eel the rivals she most feared and
hated. The peace we make must
remedy that wrong. It must deliver
the once fair lands and happy peoples
of Belgium and northern France
from the Prussian conquest and the
Prussian menace. but 1t must also de-
liver the peoples Of Austria Hungary,
the peoples ofsBalkans, and the peo-
piles OF Turkey alike in Europe and

THAT partnership must be part
nership of peoples, not mere part
nership of governments. 1t might be
impossible. also. in such untoward
circumstances. to admit Germany to
the free economic intercourse which
must inevitably spring out of the
other partnerships of real peace.
But there would be no aggression in
that; and such situation, inevitable
because Of distrust. would in the very
nature Of things sooner or later cure
itself. by processes which would as
suredly set in.
THE wrongs. the very deep wrongs.
committed in this war will have to bc
righted. That of course. but they
cannot and must not be righ;ed by the
Germany and her allies. The world
will not permit the commission of
similar wrongs as means of repair
alton and settlement. Statesmen must
by this time have learned that the
opinion of the world is everywhere
wide awake and fully comprehends
the issues involved. No representative
Of any self-govefned nation will dare
disregard it by attempting any such
mise as were entered into at the CON-
gress OF Vienna. The thought 81 the

If they would 1ive.,t It Is in the, full
disclosing light Of that thought that
all policies must be conceived and
executed in this midday hour of the
worlds life. German rulers have
been able to upset the peace. of the
world only because the German people
were not suffered under their tutelage
to share the com plradeship of the other
peoples of the world, either in thought
or in purpose. They were allowed to
have no opinion of their own which
might be set up as q rule of conduct
over them, But the congress that
concludes this war will feel the fun
strength of the tides that run now in
the hearts and cOnsclenceS of free
men everywhere. Its conclusions will
run with those tides.
RUSSIAN PEOPLE
ALSO POISONED.
"All these things have been true
from the very beginning Of, this stu
pendous war; and 1 cannot help
thinking tnat II they nad been made
plain at the very outset the sympathy
and enthusiasm Of the Russian people
might have been once and for all en-
listed on the side Of the allies. sus-
picion and distrust swept away and a
real and lasting union of purpose ef-
fected. Had they believed these
things at the very moment Of their
revolution and had they been con-
f1rmed in that belief since, the sad
reverses which have recently marked
the progress of their affairs towards
an ordered and stable government Of
free men might have been avoided.
i THE Russian people have been
i,poisoned by the very same, falsehoods
that have kept, the German people in
the dark and the poison has been adj
ministered by the very same hands.

truth. It cannot be uttered too
