FIRST LOT OF TROOPS
 LAND EUROPE; BIG OVATION

to the fact that the voluntary cen sorship which the American press assumed in the matter of troops movements and ships is perfect as can well be. Although practically every news agency and every news paper in the east knew of the de parture of the troops not even a hint was given out. This exactly du- plicates the case of the departure for European waters of the Amer ican destroyers which the papers only published after it was officially that they were in those waters. This is shown to be proof enough that a censorship is not re quired.

IN new CAR CRISIS
Troop and Grain Movement
Combined Threatens Trouble.

Move Estimated Crop.

1t would require 4,161,170 freight
cars to move the entire grain crops
of the west as estimated for this year,
if each car is loaded as was the av-
erage car used for grain last year. A
large share of the cereals grown will
never leave the farms, but the amount
which will be shipped by rail is GER
tain to swell the car shortage.
The grain movement from the west,
including especially the southern part
of Kansas, will be at its height during
the next six weeks-just at the time
when the railroads will be engaged
in the largest troop movement in the
history of the country. The roads
will have to transport more than 600,-
900 from the various states to the
military environments. Many special
trains will be required for the men
and this of course will reduce the
number of locomotives available for
regular freight and passenger service
Grain exchanges and boards of
trade are warning buyers and ship
pers of grain that the best way to
avoid letting the car shortage become
most serious is to load every car to
the marked capacity at least, and to
load and unload cars as quickly as
possible.
The railroads own 100000 freight
cars in all, of which only about 1,00O,-
900 are box cars and available for
hauling grain. An average increase
in loading of only two tons to the
car would be equivalent to adding
more than 100000 cars to the num-
Der available for public use.

ELECTROMAGNETIC DISAGREE.
Santa Fe President Says Government
Ownership Coming.

Charles H Markham, president of
the Illinois Central railroad, dissents
emphatically from the view of E. P.
Ripley, president of the Santa Fe, that
government ownership of railways is
likely to be adopted in the United
States. In a letter to the Railway Age
Gazette. Mr.. Markham sets forth his
views on both the probability and the
desirability of government ownership
as follows:
q have read recently a newspaper
interview given by President E. P.
Ripley of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe in which he expresses the
opinion that government ownership of
railways in the United States is not a
possibility, but a high probability. He
has expressed his opinion before.
Mr.. Ripley occupies deservedly a
very prominent place among the rail-
way executives of this country. There
fore. if his utterances on this subject
are allowed to pass without challenge
from railway sources, they may be ac-
cepted by the public as expressing the
views of railway executives. 1 do not
think most railway executives agree
with him on this matter. Certainly /
do not On the contrary, 1 think we
are moving away from governmen
ownership. and that recent develop
ments. especially since the United
States entered the war, have made its
adoption less probable"
