WAR SUPPLIES FIRST
In FREIGHT SHIPMENT

Plans for the solution Of one Of the
most important transportation prob
lens thrust upon the railroads of this
country by the war, have been adopt
ed by the Railroads War Board, after
series Of conferences with authorized
representatives OF the army, tthe navy
and the United States Shipping Board.
The problem concerns the supply and
prompt movement of the thousands
OF cars required by the government
TO transport lumber and other supplies
to the shipbuilding yar1s. the army
cantonments and otheI mobilization
points.
During the next few months, it is es-
timated, more than 10000 cars will be
needed for government purposes. Un-
der the plans agreed upon by the Rail-
roads War Board and representatives
OF the government, the government
will give advance notice to the War
Boards Commission on Car Service
whenever orders are placed for more
than ten carloads of materials or
supplies.
To prevent shippers from utilizing
for their own selfish purposes cars
needed for government service, the
Railroads' War Board has issued strict
orders to all the railroads absolutely
to forbid shippers the use of any of
the government ordered cars for any
purpose except the loading specified in
the government order.

RED TAPE HOLDS UP
PERSHINGS work
Can Scarcely Move Without Official
Sanction from Washington.
BY c. +. BERTELLI,

BY c. +. BERTELLI.
, International News Service Stan
Correspondent.
Paris. July 9 Cby maiD.-If the War
Department will give Gen. Pershing
a free hand with regard to the ex-
penditure Of absolutely necessary
amounts and not attempt to regu-
late the European theater Of action
from Washington, a blunder that
cost the British forces dearly and
tied the hands OF their commander
tn-chief with red tape will have been
avoided.
As one member Of the Generals
Stan has aptly put It, What we need
iS a War Department and not a
Peace Department" For example,
shortly after the declaration OF war
by the United States a colonel in
charge OF one OF the bureaus found
that 1t was physically impossible TO
handle the work with his present
stan
Without taking the precaution Of
cabling to Washington for permission
he engaged an extra stenographer at
the moderate salary Of SIS q week.
At the end Of the month his accounts.
as usual. were sent to Washington 20
be audited and paid. After some de-
lay the colonel received a note from
some adjutant general or assistant TO
the quartermaster general, in which
that Official declared he could find no
record OF an authorization from
Washington for the engaging Of an
other stenographer in the bureau.
Since that was 50, he regretted, etc,
but found that the salary OF the stem
ographer would have to be charged
against the colonel. and accordingly
the amount would be deducted from
his monthly pay check. The colonel
found that such was the case. Al
though he had been engaged upon
important government work because
OF the penuriousness Of officialdom
he was forced to pay for his own
zeal in completing his labor as rapid
ly as possible.
General Pershing has asked for q
large amount or appropriation for the
maintenance Of q comprehensive in
telligence bureau which will be sec
ond to none. not even Germany's. 1t
is hoped at stan headquarters that
Congress and Washington will real
ize the Importance of the work that
falls under the scope Of the intelli-
gence Office.

Better set 1t for six?" Warren was
winding the alarm clock.
"Oh, no. that'll hurry Us too much. :"
,demured Helen, coming out Of the
bathroom with her wet, whitened
shoes. Make It a quarter Of"
The blame things stopped" hold
ing it to his ear.
A coaxing shake and It licked on
with cheerful industry.
Dear, don't you want to take your
tan oxfords?"
Full up now," glsncing at his bulg-
ing suitcase.
Well. I've plenty Of room in the
steamer trunk"
"S teamer trunk" explosively.
You're not Iaboring under the de-
lusion that you're going to take a
trunk?''
Why, it's already packed! 1
couldn't get my dresses in a suitcase"
You couldn't, eh?" belligerently
We'll you'n take what you can get
in suitcase-and no more"
But Warren, a weeks trip in the
summer time-with my linen suitsT
And I simply have to take another
hat"
See here. we're OF for a business
trip-not to Narragansett for polo
week! And we're going to travel
light! Where's that trunk?" as he
strobe to the door Of her room.
The steamer trunk was open, yawn-
ing a profusion OF fresh laundered
frills-a white linen suit on top. On a
chair stood the tray, a wreath-trfm-
med leghorn in the hat compartment;
the smaller divisions filled with lin
gerie. gloves, wells and other feminine
accessories.
Wen be gone six days, not six
Neeks!" snorted Warren.
Dear, don't be unreasonable In
winter can get q dinner dress and
a few shirt waists in a suitcase. but
with summer clothes I simply can't"
Well that trunk don't go! Now,
you pack q suitcase-and pack II
quick! We want to get to bed-Eot
to be up before s."
Warren, listen, I'll need everything
there! I've got to look decent-I can't
go without that trunk Then des-
perately, 'Td rather stay at homer
Fine! That suits me. Idon't give
a d what you do" as he strode
back into his own room.
Not to go! To stay home alone,
With a sick inward sinking Helen
gazed down at the packed trunk. Why
had she said that? She always paid
so dearly for her reckless speeches.
Her throbbing dread conquering her
pride, she ran after him.
Whistling q careless air, he was
examining a folding umbrella into his
bag. Without his collar, in his shirt
sleeves, the very lines of his muscu-
lar back and neck looked vigorously
obstinate.
Dear. you didn't mean thatf' a
catch IN her voice.
Mean what?' forcing the reluctant
lock.
That you didn't care-whether 1
went or not"
We'll, II you want to know-it'd be
a mighty good thing II you didn't 20!
This eternal chickering's getting on my
nerves. Be a whole lot better II we
got away from each other occasion
ally. If you don't want to stay here
go up to Lake Mahopac with the
Stevenses."
Warren. you don't mean that-you
can't"
Why not? We're not the Siamese
twins. We see entirely too much Of
each other-thats the trouble. Now
you wire Mrs. Stevens you're coming
up there-take your blame trunk and
all the duds you want. Well have q
weeks rest from each other-itn be a
darn good thing for US both"
In a stunned silence Helen turned
back into her room and dropped on

still In his pajamas. THAT blooming
alarm didn't go on. Hustle now, we
won't have time for breakfast-well
set 1t on the train
Helen started up trying to clarity
her sleep-muddled mind.
"Why IL thought" t.-.
But Warren had disappeared. The
next second a pair Of tan shoes were
flung through the door with q brusque,
IF there's plenty of room in that
trunk you might as well put EN-
in. Now move fast-get a gait ont"
A leaping Joy now beat through
her confusion. She was goingl He
WANTED her to gol She was to
take the trunk-he had thrown in
the shoes just to tell her that.
Warren so rarely surrendered.
Having once taken q stand he al
most never retreated. Whether
right or wrong. Helen was always
the one to yield. So now his
sweeping concession left her be-
wildered and deeply moved. 80.
No, no; she must be generous,
too! She ran into his room, but
the tuneless whistle came from the
bathroom. Through the half open
door she saw him, his face gro
tesquely lathered, his chin upraised.
"Oh, dear. I-perhaps I'd better
not take the trunk after all I can
get enough in the suitcase
"Eh? What're trying to do
make US miss that train?" scraping
under his chin with scratching
strokes. Trunks packed, isn't II?
Well, let 1t alone-we've no time
to fool. Phone for a taxi and get
into your duds. Now stir your
stumps!"
1T won't take me ten minutes!
as taking advantage OF his upraised
arms and her confidence in a safety
razor, she gave him an impuIsive
hug, burrowing kisses against his
broad balbrigganed back.
Then q swift dab of lather on her
cheek sent her scurrying laughing
ly to her room.
AS she dressed with excited haste
she realized that her head ached
and she felt sickishIy upset-the un-
failing after-effect OF a sleeping
powder. But the physical depres-
sion was surmounted by her mental
elation.
She was happy-Joyously. vibrat-
ingly happy. The black conviction
Of the night before had fallen from
her. He had not meant what he
said-he had been tired and irri-
table. She had taken It too Sc
riously.
All her anticipated Joy in the
trip surged back. other couples
might need a vacation from each
other. but she ana Warren

CARPENTER IS IN
SHAPE FOR BATTLE

New 1ork. Feb. 19.-Georgcs Carpenter
may yet come to this country to fight
Although no word has been received from
him or his manager Francois Des-
champs. in some time. the fact that he
recently fought four three minute rounds
IN Paris Tor the benefit Of the family Of
Georges Bernard. one-time middle
weight, who was killed in battle, indicates
that the French champion doesn't intend
10 give up boxing, as reported.
According to advice. Carpenter is in
splendid shape, except for his wind, and
would require about three weeks OF train
ing TO be fit to enter the ring In his ex-
hipitlon bout he was ptted against a
rugged soldier. Jacques Bicot. who came
straight from the trenches somewhere
in France Rcot. although weighing
ABOUT % Lounds. made Carpenter step
lively through every round The fact
that Carpenter is on a furlough and has
oeen training diligently makes IT appear
reasonably certain he will soon box pro-
reasonably again. either in Europe or this
country.
