KING ALFONSO MAKES
OFFER OF SPANISH SHIPS

Washington, March 31.-An offer by
the King of Spain to have Spanish
ships carry relief supplies to Syria
anr release the American Naval yes
sells Caesar and Des Moines, now war
hound at Alexandria, from that duty
has been accepted by the United
States.
For months the collier Caesar and
the cruiser Des Moines have lain at
Alexandria while the United States en-
deavored unsuccessfully to secure sat
isfactory guarantees for the contin-
uance of their voyage to Beirut. Tur-
kew offered to give a safe conduct on
her own account, Germany gave a con-
ditional pledge, and Austria never has
replied.
Officials here have not been fully
advised of SPANS plans. but it is as
sumed that satisfactory pledges have
been secured by her and that the sup
plies will be tr~ans-shipped soon to a
Spanish merchant vessel at AleXan-
dria.
How the Caesar and the. Des Moines
are to get home is an undecided ques-
ton. for many officials here believe
it would be unsafe for them to attempt
to pass back through the Mediterran-
can. in view of the pending develop
ment in the international situation. It
is probable that they may go through
the Suez Canal and cross the Indian
ocean.

Germany that the Americans be re-

system. pictured business as suffering
keenly from the sluggish movement
Of freight trains.
For many months the congestion
has been working westward from the
seaboard. where at first the effect was
felt In the insufficiency Of ocean bot
toms to trahsship the tremendous in
hux Of war supplies needed in Europe.
At first it was war munitions which
blocked other traffic but generally as
'ySfas csms eonassted other prod
ucts accumulated until now. there are
so.ooo.ooo bushels of grain in Chi
cago elevators and 100000 bushels
IN railroad cars which can not he
moved. And North. South and West
OF this gateway instructions are out
holding back shipment of every
thing except perishable goods, live
stock and fuel. Unusually cold wealth
er and heavy snowstorms did their
part in increasing the evils of the sit
uatiOn.
From New York to Chicago rail-
road yards are jammed with cars.
thousands Of them loaded, and these
imprisoning many empties.
Among shippers the. opinion is ex-
pressed that the railroads are doing
the best they can.
NEUTRAL STEAMERS MAY HELP.
New York. Feb. 16.-Relief from
the freight congestion caused by the
German submarine policy was seen
today In the announcement that a
number Of Dutch and scandinavian
vessels would soon depart with car
goes. The understanding that the
British naval authorities had ar
ranged for neutral ships bound for
scandinavian ports to touch at Hail.
FAX instead Of Kirkwall and thus
avoid the submarine zone, gave prom
ise Of the resumption of regular sail
ings.
The export situation today, how
ever, was decdlared by railroad traffic
heads to be the most serious in the
history OF the port. They said the
congestion was not serious here be-
cause OF almost wholesale embargoes
against shipments from the West for
export. These embargoes, it was
pointed out, are responsible for un.
usually congested conditions in the
West.
Unless relief now Is assured through
early offerings of considerable cargo
space, according to men familiar with
the situation. more restrictive embar-
goes must be placed, congestion will
increase In many parts of the coun-
try, loaded cars will stand idle, great
quantities of perishable foodstuffs
Will be dumped on domestic markets,
manufacturers will cease to consign
shipments eastward and the produc-
ton of many raw products will be
reduced.
Railroad traffic managers assert
that the ship shortage situation of n
year ago. when the export burden
overtaxed New York capacities, taught
lesson from which they are pro-
fitting o. this time. Then piers and
terminals were piled with freight
much of which perished. Today, they
point out. there Is no such congestion
because for many months the rail
roads have accepted freight from the
South and West only when consignees
proved In advance that cargo space
was awaiting.
