"Be careful when you examine the

"The ad, therefore, may serve two

In the Washington newspapers that

The usual daily visits were going on, he says. and all was peaceful when the Russians suddenly began firing furiously from one section of their trenches. A Ger man officer ran over and called out indignantly, What do you mean by shooting with ball cartihdges?'
 A Russian officer explained apolo- gctically, "The Colonel has just come up for inspection. but he'll bc going in q minute"
 When the Associated Press cores pendent was at the front a German ma jor told how one of his officers was shot through the leg while walking in front of the trenches at the time when, by the custom of that period, neither side was Supposed to fire.

Want R. R. Work Done At Home

MEXICO CITY Members of the unions of the railroad crafts especially shopmen, protest in the local news papers against the sending of cars and locomotives from Mexico to shops in the United States for repair. They declare such a practice is extremely dangerous for Mexico, pointing out that should the United States declare an embargo much useful Mexican rolling stock would be held in the United States They say that to send the To- comotives to the United States is to place Mexico in this respect at tn mercy of powerful neighbor.
 Some of the published assertions seem so strongly anti-Amcrican that men in close touch with railroad af- fairs have had no hesitancy in declar- ing that the utterances are inspired by German agents.

MANUFACTURERS
WORRIED over
EMBARGO PLAN
Dealers In Luxuries Also
Perturbed Over Proposed
Rail Actions.

Announcement Friday that the
Railroad War Board had recommend
ed to the federal government the de-
NAL. Of rail transportation to about
500 commodities was received with
considera BILE concern by number of
Richmond manufacturers, who are
wondering whether their products will
be denied transportation in the event
the government acts on the recon-
Wendation Of the Railroad War Board.
The list of commodities the board be-
liewes should be denied rail transpor-
tatIon has not been made public.
The few Richmond manufacturing
concerns which are now engaged on
government work are not worrying
over the situation. and manufacturers
Of agricultural machinery feel reason
ably certain that no embargo will be
placed against their products. 1t is
the manufacturer who produces COM
modities which are not absolutely es-
sential who is feeling nervous.
Would Bar Luxuries
Even If the threatened railroad
strike be averted, however, it is evil
dent that radical action will be neces-
sary to achieve and maintain the ade-
quate transportation facilities vital to
successful prosecution of the war.
Here are the principal features of
the situation:
1. The railroads war board admitted
today that the roads soon will be un-
able to transport all the commercial
commodities of the country in addition
to war materials needed by the gov
eminent.
n m -, l-I
the suspension of transportation of
$50 commodities deemed nonessentials
and seventy-f1ve others with which the
public could dispense though with in
convenience.
Car Shortage Acute
g. With the tremendous increase of
traffic due to war preparations. and
the failure Of the railroads to extend
facilities sufficiently. the shortage of
cars is becoming acute.
4. The railroads are unable to ex-
pand equipment and obtain sufficient
labor because of the drain upon the
material and labor supply by the war
industries.
5. The threat of the conductors and
trainmen to strike for higher wages
illustrates the menace of transporta-
ton tieup that will be faced by the ma
ton until the administration and con-
gress effect a fundamental solution Of
this problem.
Urges Government Loan.
s. Samuel Rae. president of the
Pennsylvania railway told the inter
state commerce commission Thursday
that the railroads need not only Is
per cent advance in freight rates, but
q government loan 70 huild 900 600
cars and more locomotives.
