New York. Feb. 17.-Owners and
agents of ships declared today they
were ready to do their part in reliev-
ing the railroad freight congestion.
They predicted that exporters would
have no cause for complaint that they
could not find vessels to carry their
goods AT least no greater cause than
existed before the declaration of the
German submarine blockade.
Railroad men we're inclined to agree
that the new submarine campaign
PLAYED only small part I'm the freight
situation They pointed ont that be
fore the German ediCt went into ef-
feet, the British steamship companies
reserved SIS per cent Of their cargo
space for the use Of their government.
The most important factor in the situ-
alton. they said was the weather.
which had been the worst in many
years.
Twenty-one merchant ships arriving
here yesterday promised greater cargo
space than the port Of New York has
enjoyed for some time Fourteen of
these came through the war zone

on German aims than for it's value in
restoring British prestige in the eyes
OF the Mohammedan world and the
East generally. While it is recognized
that the British misfortuncs in Mcso-
potamia have had IL serious influence
on the prestige of the ruling power in
India and Egypt. and while it is
claimed that the capture Of Baydad
will restore tho balance. the chief
qualification expressed is that the sue
cess OF General Maude's expedition has
shattered the dream that Germans have
INDUCED in for more than twenty
years.
AS one typical comment puts it: "rhc
Germans proud vision Of an Eastern
empire is dissipated before their eyes
the German route 10 the East is
blocked. and the existing terminus OF
the Bcrlin-to- BaSdad railway has
passed into British hands. To Oricn-
tails il will seem To sound the kncll Of
German aspirations
IL also is contcndcd that Turkeys
value as an ally of Germany now is
weakened. and that the fall of BaEdad
crowns tho disasters which have al

Turks are so thoroughly routed that
there is no present cause for anxiety

considerable gift for bringing a vie

Further developments are believed to
depend upon the speed and effectiveness
with which Anglo Russian cooperation

I'm respect 10 the European war as

much that the Turkish army has under

Of the event will be deeply felt in
Germany. The Hamburg Bagdad line,
the last OF the dreams cherished by
German mcgalomania, must remain "a

is certain that hopes OF its fulfllment
were fostercd by the government. and
