The best thing for Missoula would

of promoting this community spirit, a

Do not let the merchants or churches
do the thing alone but make it strictly

BRITISH FREE SHIPS;
MAY RELIEVE T|E-UP
RAILROADS Extend Traffic
Embargoes Until Ship
ping Increases.

New York, Feb 15.-Steamships fly
ing the flags of neutral countries
which have been detained here since
the new German submarine policy was
announced, probably will resume their
regular sailings if plans to substitute
Halifax for Kirkwall as a port Of call
for examination can be arranged with
the British authorities. 1t became
known tonight that negotiations to
this end are virtually complete.
Arrangements have been so far per-
fected, it was said that Halifax pilots
who work under British admiralty or
ders have been ordered to this port
to board vessels about to sail.
The passengers originally booked on
the Holland American liner Ryndam
will not be aboard when that ship sails
tomorrow, it was officially announced.
The Ryndam will go strictly as n
freighter, carrying 5000 tons of grain
consigned to and owned by The Meth
erland government. Passengers are
now being booked for the Noordam,
owned by the same line.
Exports Tied Up.
The export situation today, however
was declared by traffic heads of rail-
roads entering this city to be the most
serious in the history of the port OF
New York.
The officials said the freight conges
tion was not serious here, because of a
system of almost wholesale embargoes
| against shipments from the west for eX-
port which are responsible for unusu
ally congest"d conditions west of Pitts
burgh and Buffalo.
Unless relief now is assured accord
ing to men familiar with the situation
| more restrictive embargoes must bt
placed, congestion will increase il
many parts of the country, loaded car.
will stand idle, great quantities o
perishable foodstuffs will be dumped
on domestic markets, manufacturers
will cease to consign shipments east
ward and the production of many raw
products will be reduced.
| While the embargo has kept rail
road terminals here comparatively fire.
from over-cr -crowding, its effect else
| where has eliminated in car shortage

have become alarmed. The executiv
committee of the American Railwa,
association is expected to discuss tn
situation at a meeting here tomorrow

company of the Vermont Volunteer
Militia, was in honor of Lynn San

Notwithstanding the inclemency Of
the weather, the opera house was fill
ed to it's capacity; the Volunteer Mill
tia, the Red Cross, the Knights of
Pythias, the Pythian Sisters, and the
high school attending in a body. The
Pythian quartet consisting Of Messrs,
Smith, Kinney, Wiley and Bushey,
rendered two selections; prayer was
offered by Rev. w. S. Smithers fol-
lowed by remarks by Rev. R. A.
Hamilton, Lieut.. Harry Dickens, Hon.
NJ NJ. Taplin and Major Aaron H.
Grout of Newport. A military and
patriotic touch was given the service
by the sounding of the bugle calls
from behind the scenes by Harold
