ANGRY BECAUSE WE DIDN'T SEND
 LABORINC HEAD

The first news from Russia bear ing on the attitude. of the Russian people towards the United States Commission headed by Elihu Root was contained in a. dispatch to the Jewish Daily Forward today from its Petrograd correspondent. He quotes an article in Maxim Gorky's newspa- per, The New Life, as saying that Charles Edward Russell and James Duncan do not truly represent Ameri- can labor. The dispatch reads:
 '"The Socialist newspaper, Novoya Vhizn. edited by the famous novelist, Gorky expresses astonishment at the absence of official representatives of labor on the commission that is com ing to Russia from the United States It seems that Russell, who is taken to be socialist, and Duncan. who is connected with aNtrade union; both members of the commission, are not considered by the Russian Socialists to be representative of American la bor, as they were not delegated by any of their organizations.
 'aThe Jewish soldiers fighting on the Rumanian front had meeting, in which they voiced regret at having to fight for a country in which the Jews are unjustly persecuted. Ru- mania, as is well known, is now the only country in Europe, in which the Jews do not enjoy civic and political rights.
 "Students and school pupils of Kiev have organized a monarchistic mani festation.''

1 ,26O, 900 Germans Are Massed Now on
 the Western Front

With the French Armies in the Field, May 19.-The greatest force of men Germany has ever called into ac- tion have been massed on the west front in Hindenbmrg's effoE to stop the Franco British drive Between April and Il there were at least l,260, 900 men engaged on the German side.
 Headquarters estimates yesterday, based on careful calculations and evil dence obtained from prisoners and scouting raids, showed in the period mentioned that the German comman- her-in-chief utilized 84 German divis- ions, Seven of these were engaged twice in the fighting in this month s period.
 The greatest previous massing of German forces was around Verdun The lighting there is probably the nearest, comparable to the herceness of, the struggle now progressing in the allied drive. But in the entire year from February, 1916, to February, 1917 the Germans engaged only fifty-six and a half divisions about 847, 500 men-using IA of these twice and six divisions three times.
 In a little over a month, therefore in struggling against the F,ranco-Brit- ish drive, Germany has called into ac- tion a force almost double the num- Der of fighters she threw into one years campaign against Vertdun. And Verdun was one objective for which she slaughtered men ruthlessly in an effort to gain prestige for the Crown Prince.

FOOD EXPORTS TO KNOWN NEUTRAL COUNTRIES ONLY
United States to Participate In Rationing System of
 Allied Nations

Washington, May 19.-The ration ing Of Holland, Norway, Sweden, Den mark, Switzerland and Spain was dis cussed formally at a conference at the State department between British Foreign Secretary Balfeur, Secretary Lansing, Secretary Redfield and Brit ish and American trade experts. The necessity of limiting exports strict ly to those countries, both to prevent their finding their way into enemy territory and to conserve every pos sible ton of allied shipping for the most essential work, was considered in all phases.
 A general understanding was reach ed as to the complete participation of the United States in the rationing sys- tenn already developed by the Allied nations. The detailed working out of the agreements, however, depends on the enactment of legislation giving the president power of embargo and granting the shipping. board control oyer all cargo space.
 The Allies in the first 1-2 years of the war have built up a most elabo- rate system to allow nay supplies inn ported to countries contiguous to Germany to maintain their normal stocks.
 Semi-of1cial agencies have been es- tablished in several of the neutral countries to cooperate in the plan to safeguard necessities and guarantee that attested imports will not fall in to enemy hands.
 Yesterdays meeting was not regard ed as final except insofar as it agreed to the general principles involved.

Why Shippers Should Hasten Unloading of
 All Freight Trains

By the fact that the railroads have from time to time been forced to in crease demurrage rates in order to force shippers to hasten the loading and unloading it has been made ap- parent that a lot of the cars have been tied up for shortage purposes and by delays which could be over come while the country in general and the railroads in particular have been suffering from lack of just such rolling stock.
 But such demurrage increase has not served to solve the whole prob lem. It has not relieved the situation to the extent that the roads have all the cars that they wan even with the many new ones which are constantly being added to their equipment, and now with this country face to face with the necessity of releasing every bit of railroad equipment that is available for the purpose of aiding Russia and France in developing their railroad systems that the war may be carried on more successfully, it is obliged to prevent all lost mo- ton. Much of the new equipment which the roads of this country have ordered and are anticipating will have to be diverted to these allies, and this means that greater efficien- cy must develop from that which is now possessed and in use.
 As a result of this situation 1t is not impr obable that those who have been given the task or handling the railroad problems during the war will find it necessary to reduce the un- loading time from AS to 24 hours Such a course will cause some incon- oy,io hut Wi11 furnish n 0r,- portunity for everyone to do his part and under the circumstances there should be a determined effort to see that such contribution is made. It is a patriotic service to which every one should lend his earnest cooperation.

COAL COMP ANIES
 SEEK TO RECOVER :. HEAVY DAMAGES
File Complaint Against Sev- en Railroads Case Sets
 Precedent.

s Washington, May 19.-In one of the most far reaching complaints fil- ed before the interstate commerce commission four Utah coal companies seek to recover approximately $425,- 900 from seven railroads as damages alleged to have been suffered through the failure of the roads to supply them with adequate numbers of coal cars for their operations.
 The case sets precedent. If decid- ed in favor of the complainants- it would open the way for the filing of innumerable similar complaints not only by coal companies but by manu- lecturers and shippers of virtually all commodities carried in interstate commerce for alleged losses running into many millions.

TWO FIGHTING MEN OF THE DEEP.
 SIMS AND BEATTY, ARE EXPECTED
 TO GET ALONG WELL IN CAMP AICN
Personalities Count for Anything Cooperation Is As sured Between U. S. and English Fleets Fightisg U- Boats in the North Sea Zone-Rear Admiral Sims Striking Figure in Naval History.

Sir David, although drawn away from the support of the British main fleet and at one time facing 100 German ships, promptly accepted battle. His work in this and other actions has been so effective and individual as to become known as the Beatty touch"
 Not the least remarkable thing about Sir David's career has been the early age at which he attained important posts. At the time he suc- ceeded Sir John Jellieee in command of the grand fleet he was only 45. At that time there was not a rear admiral in the United States navy who was at least thirteen years older than Beat ty-not even g. captain in our whole navy as young as Sir David. When he was appointed vice-admira1 in II 1914 he was the youngest man to hold that rank in the history of the British navy.
 In 1901, while an aide-camp to the King, Sir David married Miss Ethel Field, eldest daughter of the late Mar shall Field of Chicago The marriage has been a most happy one and Lady Beatty has been a faverite in British society. Since the beginning Of the war. she has been exceedingly active in relief work, She has fitted and maintained hospital ship for the British navy from her own funds. Two sons have been born to them, David Field and Peter Beatty.
 Although Mrs. Sims was brought up as the daughter of Cabinet off, cer and diplomat she has never cared greatly for society and has been chief 1y interested in domestic life. At the time the Rear~Admiral, then Captain, was due to receive his reprimand for his Hast drop of bleod'' speech she telegraphed urging him to leave the navy. It was not only that she wish ed to save him from the reprimand, but 1t was known that he was pres ently to be ordered to the Asiatic fleet and she wished him to retire from the sea.
