The Scandinavian note emphasizes
that on the present occasion the sig
natory governments are all the more
compelled to adhere to their previ-
GUS position Sin as much as the OBJ

now on a considerably larger scale
of gravity.
This governments anxiety, the
note continued, has been increased

Denial is registered of the right
OF belligerents to obstruct peaceful
navigation in zones situated at such
a distance from the enemy coasts.
These coasts, 1t is held, are subject
only to a legitimate blockade.
"Relying on the considerations set

terial damage which will ensue.

ent situation within ten days or two

Thousands of cars, laden with east
bound freight, are standing on side
tracks between Chicago and New
York.
The freight bureau OF the Chicago
board OF trade. through the secretary.
j 8. Brown, has been assured by the
carriers that relief is in sight, in re-
Spouse to queries OF shippers.
Utter Decentralization OF all shipping
has resulted in the action Of the
roads which have alternately accept
ed and refused various classes ot
freight at different times until the
present policy of absolute refusal OF
all east bound shipments was adopted
The railroads claim that they are
not to blame as extreme cold, demand
for coal, ETC., have demoralized trans
portauon.
Serious Situation.
NEW YORK. Feb. 14.-One of the
most serious freight tie-ups in the
history of the country prevailed today
on all railroads normally carrying
foodstuffs and other commodities
between the east and west.
Railroad men characterized the
situation as extremely critical.
Thousands OF freight cars are held
on sidings, some of them loaded, but
their movement is practically Inn
possible owing to the congestion on
the Atlantic seaboard. brought about
by the German submarine blockade.
With the number of ships leaving
New York for Europe reduced follow
ing announcement Of the submarine
blockade, freight has kept piling in
from the west during the past week.
Munitions, automobiles, food stuffs,
supplies OF every kind are piled high
on New York docks. Acres of freight
cars stand in yards waiting to be
unloaded. but with slight chance OF
their contents being removed because
Of lack of bottoms in which to ship
the goods across the Atlantic.
The Delaware and Lackawanna rail-
way today announced an embargo on
all freight west OF Buffalo. This
closed the last road open to that
section. The Pennsylvania and New
York Central have road embargoes on
business west of Buffalo and Pitts
burgr for several weeks. At offices
of both lines 1t was said there was no
indication OF the ban being lifted.
Railways west Of Pittsburgh and Buff
falo, unable to get shipments east
owing to lack of cars have put a ban
upon accepting west bound goods.
This has in turn tied UP the eastern
lines. with the result that shipping Is
all but paralyzed.
1t was estimated today that there
Is more than million tons of steel
piled on various piers about New
York harbor awaiting export. In the
meantime steel mills are constantly
pouring out more of the product or
dered by the allies, but with slight
chance of it being moved. Unless
more ships brave the submarine
blockade and the congestion here Is
relieved, serious industrial conse-
quences are possible.

page, is as follows:
During the night of Feb. 1918, the
delay expires which until now has
not been made known and which mas
been accorded within the barred zone

mel to neutral steamers to whom news
OF the declaration of barred zones had

time, only general warnings are IN
force, which have been issued for the
barred zones, according to which nayi-
cation may not count upon individual
warnings.
Ships which nevertheless ply In
the barred zones do this with full
of the dangers imminent
to them and their crews.
AT this place 1t is expressly stated
that all reports spread from the hos
tile side about torpedoing OF neutral
ships without preceding stoppage are
untrue, II they refer to the times prior
to those just mentioned for the diner
ent barred zones.
"The mentioned delays were even
respected for hostile passenger steam
ers as far as they were unarmed, since
on them there might possibly be neu-
trail passengers, without knowledge
of the barred zones declaration.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE fact

low the rank of brigadier-general re-
ceive 10 per cent on the yearly pay of

service, is $4,000; the maximum pay OF
a lieutenant-colonel is $4,000, etc. All
officers serving outside of the United
States, except Porto Rico and Hawaii,
