IT'S A BLOCKADE

Berlin, Feb. 3.-The German gov

warfare is construed here as consti-
tuting the declaration of a blockade

of international law, with the block
AIDE limits set forth in definite form,
the customary notice to neutrals and
the usual period of grace in which
neutral shipping caught within the
blockade zone may pass out of it. The
veriant element from the blockades of
history is that the blockade will be en-
forced by submarines in addition to
other naval methods and that the ex-
ception is offered to the United States
that one passenger snip will be per-
mitted to sail to and from Falmouth

The rule of the Regular Army in

ing an opportunity to the officers at

WORRYING THE
GOVERNMENT

Washington, Sept. 14.-The labor
situation in shipbuilding plants is
giving the Shipbuilding Board seri-
Gus concern. A threatened walk
out of iron trade workers at San
Francisco and strikes at Seattle and
New York present the most serious
difficulties.
Representatives Of both employers
and employees are here from Seattle
and a New York delegation came to-
day to take up the situation in New
York repair yards.
With the assistance of its wage ad-
justment board, the Shipping Board
is trying to work out wage scale
by zones, which it. hopes will be
adopted by builders and their work
ers everywhere. The system is pat
termed after the navy scale.
The Seattle workers are demand
ing per cent wage increase. II
this were granted and served as a
basis for increases elsewhere there
would be added to the cost of the
governmnt's shipbuilding prgram
more than S2O0,OOO,OOO. The Sc
attic demands will be passed upon,
it is said, only after a creful study
of the entire situation.
San Francisco ship-yard workers
have been asked to postpone any ac-
tion until the Shipping Board has
had an opportunity to take up their
case. If they insist on striking,
however, the board, it was said to-
day, can do nothing to prevent it.

Francisco men realize that they are

they must do their full duty" said

THRIFT

"After the war will come a long

will bind up their wounds and will
go forth to further conquests-not
Of shrapnel and bayonets, but of

S. W. Straus, President of the
American Society for Thrift in the
current issue of The Thrift Maga-
zine.
1T will be fight for business the

succeed in exact proportion to the
individual efficiency of its citizens.
Therefore, it stands US we'll in hand
today to look TO cur future--to see
if we are Adequately equipped for
this great era Of tusi.ess rivalry
"After the war, we shall have a
great merchant marine and we shall
be in stronger financial position
than any nation now at war In
many regards, we shall have ire
mendous advantage over all rivals.
'But when it comes to the matter
of individual thrift, we shall be at
a disadvantage.
"America's record in all matters
pertaining to individual thrift has
been disgraceful. We have been
known throughout the world as a
nation of spendthrifts. In the great
commercial struggle between the ma

the dawn of peace, the rigid prac-

RAILROADS ASSISTING IN
NATIONAL DEFENSE
PLANS

New York, N. Y, September 13.
Reports just made by all the rail-
roads of the country to the Ameri-
can Railway Association show that
on September 1st the excess Of un-
filled orders for cars in some parts
of the country over surpluses of cars
in other places was 1851, a reduc-
tion of Ia per cent. as compared with
the previous month.
In the latter part of April when
the Railroads War Board was or
ganized to cooperate with the gov
ernment in all matters Of the rail-
roads affecting the conduct of the
war, there was an excess Of untitled
car requisitions over surpluses
amounting to 148, ,627 cars.
As it was impossible to create
cars overnight, not to mention To-
comotives, terminal facilities, tracks
and other facilities just % badly
needed, the War Board directed its
first efforts at securing greater use
of the facilities which existed, mainly
freight cars4 The object was to
more nearly take care. Of all the or
ders of the government and shippers
as well. Railroads were instructed
to do things within their own prov
ince which would increase the eff
cheney of equipment and at the same
time to secure the cooperation of
shippers, consignees and CONNER
cial bodies.
The success of the combined ef-
forts of state and federal regula-
ting bodies, shippers, commercial Or
ganizations, the railroads and sea-
sonable weather, may be seen from
the fact that the railroads have
with practically no increase in
facilities handled the greatest
amount of freight in their history
in the past four months.
The excess of untitled car orders
has been cut down from 148,627 on
May 1st, to 1O6,649 on June 1st,
to 1852 on July 1st, to 37,062 on
August 1st and to 1851 on Sep
tember 1st, thus achieving an i'm
provement in four months Of 78
per cent.
