CHRISTMAS MOTTO
IS SAFETY FIRST
State Fire Marshal Warns
Against Danger.

LET safety first be the watchword
during the Christmas season.
Such is the warning sent out yester-
day from the office of State Fire Mar
shall Eklund at Helena. 1t means that
observers of the Yuletidc in homes,
churches, stores and lodge halls must
he very careful about placing combust-
ihlc decorations near the Christmas
tree. BY such precaution the annual
Christmas tragedy may be avcrted.
Cotton should not be used for dec.
orations in any FORM says Mr.. Eklund
Not only because it is needed during
the present war period for the manu-
facture of clothing. but because it is
also very inflammable."
Another thing. The Christmas tree
after it has served its purpose should
| be removed from the premises, before
its needles become dry and easily ig-
nited.

This. 1t Is pointed out, would be in

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE critical
freight situation, caused by .the tie
up of shipping on the Atlantic sea-
board. was emphasized today when
the Delaware and Iachawanna rail-
way announced an embargo on all
shipments west OF Buffalo, N. Y.
At the railway offices, 1t was said
the LRckawanna was believed to be
practically the only line open 30 tho
west before the embargo was issued
1t becomes effective at midnight to-
night
Stoppage of shipments routed west

There are $500 Lackawanna freight

stated at the offices.

CHICAGO. Feb. 14.-Shippers of the
middle west are convinced that ship
|ments of grain and other commodities
destined for the allies are being NOV
ed eastward. due to the influence mp
on the railways OF eastern banking In
terests, who are backing the allies
to win.
But other shipments than those des-
tined for England or France have not
moved eastward for weeks. except in
small quantities. The submarine
blockade, shippers say. has not made
any great difference in the situation,
since its inauguration Feb. /, as there
are plenty of British bottoms in east
ern ports. which have not been affect
ed by the submarine warfare. The
shipments carried by American bot
toms are not Of sufficient importance
to materially affect the congestion sit
uation.
Congestion of grain has been accum-
ulating for weeks. and 1T Is only the
fact that the east is feeling the short
age that is directing attention to 1t
now.
The only shipments which have
gone eastward from Chicago for sew
eral months are those routed in stray
cars of eastern lines which are being
returned The railroad-oNned eleyat-
ors have moved few cars of grain.
Weekly elevator statements for
weeks have showed approximately
thirty million bushels Of wheat stored
here. There has been no change OF
the total. as no grain could be moved.
and elevators have been full to capa-
city, unable to receive more.
There Is four times the normal sup
ply of wheat in Chicago elevators for
this season of the year.
Railways have promised relief but
railway officials are extremely reti-
cent.
Shippers believe that the demand
for wheat and other freight original
ing in the west, will force the carriers
to provide some relief from the pres
