URGE ECONOMY
IN FREIGHT CARS
Suggestion 10 Made to Buy as Nearly
~ Possible to Point Of UtIli-
zation and Avoid
HauIS

Tho storage committee OF the gen
eral munitions board of the council Of
national defense has authorized the
following statement:
1.-The government-and,i indeed, ev-
cry other purchaser Of goods-must
make every effort to buy near the
point Of utilization so as to make the
one necessary railroad haul as short
as possible. A number of instances
have come to the attention of the
storage committee where certain arti-
cles are being made in the west for
shipment to the east. This lack of
cooperation between buyer, railroad,
shipper, and consignee must cease.
"a good example Of what grows out
OF full understanding IS The pooling
arrangement effected between coal
operators, railroads, mines. and lake
vessels, whereby coal from Lake Erie
ports destined for the head Of the
lakes will be classified and handled
so much more efficiently that the
equivalent OF $4,000 cars will be added
to the railway equipment. Some SINH
lar cooperative method will be devel.
oped within the next few months to
control all government shipments.
Most Industrial establishments are
Situated SO Lnat 10 "ARe any COnslu-
cradle addition to their storage areas
is Impossible. At most manufacture
ing centers, therefore, 1t will be de-
sirable to create assembly stations for
the collection of government fret. hit
Such stations will permit the combine
ton of a number Of small shipments
into car lots.
More and more the motor truck
must. be used for local deliveries Of
freight, not only between the plant and
freight assembly station, but to con-
sumers at relatively nearby points.
This will mean, in many instances, the
organization Of q joint motor car serv-
ice by the manufacturers Of a given
district to insure that as nearly as
possible full motor truck loads may
be available for each trip"

BODY OF DEAD

Relatives Of c. r. Chapman Feel Sure
That Murdered Man VIII

Him.

SAN BERNARD1NO, Calf. July
27.-Mystery surrounding the identity
Of a murdered man on the Mojave
desert near Klondike, deepened to-
day when relatives OF G. F. Chapman,
wealthy resident of Chino, and re-
lated to a rich eastern family, de-
clared they are almost positive the
victim was Chapman. This muddles
the theory that the man was Charles
Barr, Of Chloride, Arizona.
The dead mans silk ehirt was
bought at the Silver Toggery," b
and G building, Denver Chapman
was at Denver and stopped at the
Marguerite hotel, across the street
from the ID and C building. A few
days later he wrote his wife he was
going to Kingman, Arizona.
It was his custom to travel by
automobile. Physical marks tally
with Chapman's description.
Chapman's relatives are rushing to
Ludlow, where the victims body Is
buried. It will be disinterred.

END OF WEEK EXPECTS
TO PUT U. S. IN WAR.

WASHINGTON. April 12.-With
actual war operations likely to mate
rialize before the end of the week. the
administration and Congress are nov
entered upon the stupendous task OF
making effective the participation of
the American republic in the world
conflict
The correspondent betrays no secret
when he says that al attack by Ger
many is expected The attack is eX-
pected from any one or all of several
quarters. German submarines and
cruiser raiders are likely to appear off
the Atlantic seaboard at any time and
shell American ports. A submarine at
tack on the Panama Canal is another
possibility.
The Hkeliest quarter, however is
Mexico. 1t is known there are thous-
andS of German reservists in Mexico
that many have gone there from the
United States since the diplomatic
break with Berlin apparently in &C.
cordance with prearranged plan, and
that there are German officers in the
Mexican army and German agents in
positions of high trust in the Car
rama government.
There is ground for the belief that
the movements of the Germans in
Mexico are not unrelated to the Zim-
mermann plot to draw Mexico and
Japan in a war alliance against the
United States. The government has
considerable information on this stu
alton which was not made public when
President Wilson revealed the Zim-
norman plot.
The uneasiness of the government
concerning German schemes in Mex
leo has been aggravated by the abso-
lutte failure, if not absolute refusal, OF
CarranZa to give any satisfactory as
surance of friendliness to the United
States and of determination to relieve
the American nation of anxiety re-
garding German operations on the
border.
1t is known that there are plenty OF
machine guns, rifles and ammunition
in Mexico to equip a force for for
midable attack on the border.
The mobilization of Carranza troops
at Juarez is being watched with some
suspicion, particularly as Carranza
says it is for the purpose of checking
/ prospective villa TdluS OISdHlHcu W
German agents. CarranZa, therefore
does not deny the prevalence Of Ger
man activities in Mexico, but transfers
the blame to Villa.
So far as internal danger from the
plots of German agents and sympa
thiZers is concerned, the administra-
ton believes it has the situation well
in hand. There are several hundred
suspected enemy aliens under survel.
lance and before the end Of the week
there probably will be many more ar
rests.
Those who fail to comply implicitly
with the directions Of conduct laid
down by the President in his war proc
Ilamation will find themselves in
trouble with the government.
Attorney General Gregory and AS
sistant Attorney General Warren con
Iferred with the President, Monday, up
on the progress made by the Depart
ment of Justice in rounding up dan
gerous enemy aliens and upon the
Iespionage, censorship, and other pro
Itective legislation which Congress will
be asked to pass at once.

GRAIN ELEVATORS BURNED;
GERMAN PLOTTERS SUSPECTED

MINNEAPOLIS, MIMI, April 12.-
Two grain elevators were destroyed
by fire, believed to have been Of incen-
diary origin early Tuesday.
The total loss will be nearly
100000 it was estimated. National
guardsmen patrolling the district re.
ported that in both instances several
explosions were heard in the struct-
ures before the flames were discoy-
cred.
The Marfield Grain Company was
the heaviest loser. More than 100000
bushels of wheat, valued at about
5000 900, were burned. The building
was valued at S150,000.
An hour earlier the Quinn-Shep
herdson Company's elevator several
blocks away was destroyed by fire
with a loss of $4,000. The struct-
ure contained 10000 bushels Of corn.
More than $4,000 bushels Of grain
in box cars on sidetracks were dam
eyed.

LILLE LANGERTY WRITES
HER AUTOBIOGRAPHY

Lille Langtry, most famous actress
of her day, has at last consented to
give to the public the story of her
career. This most interesting history
of the stage begins in the May Cos

has strongly objected to writing her
autobiography, so Cosmopolitan is in
deed most fortunate in being able to at
last place before it's readers the story
of Mrs. Langtry's social and artistic
career. The work is illustrated with
very remarkable photographs.

CUBAN AFFAIRS LOOK UGLY

The latest news from Cuba is not
reassuring by any means. and it Will
be a great pity if the island is again
conyulsed by revolutionary uprising.
1t will mean work for the United
States if the revolt gets beyond the
control Of the Cuban government.
Secretary Lansing has sent a very en-
plicit communication on the subject to
the Cuban authorities in which he told
the Foreign Minister at Havana how
much the United States is interested
and what faith its Government has IN
the patriotism of the Cuban people
and it's confidence that the patriotic
spirit will prevail in the settlement OF
the present electoral difficulty, There
are other rather patronlzlng compu-
ments under which there is tone or
