New York, May 25.-,By a STAT
Corresp spondent ct the Associated Press
Just Returned from Niennal Central
EuropeS' food problem during recent
months have been adversely ntluenc-
ed by the fact that slowly the railroads
are losing their efficiency and are no
longer able to do their share in the
distribution Of these necessities. The
war has made heavy demands upon
the lines, and it has been impossible to
give trackage and rolling stock for the
amount they are required to carry.
For almost two years now the rail-
roads have been neglected This aud
the heavy traffic over many Of the
principal lines due TO the war has
made the railroad system a mere
shadow of what it was formerly Bal
lasting has been indiiierently done by
old men, women, boys and prisoners,
with the result that a rapid deterio-
rating OF rails and rolling stock ha,
taken place A reduction of carrying
capacity Of the roads resulted from
this.

NEW SYSTEM PLANNED
 FOR ALASKA GABLE

Seattle, Dec. 8-Experiments which will reVolutionize the meth ods used in the operation of cable telegrams through the use of the type receiving instruments em- Dloyed in radio communication have been conducted by the war depart ment in Seattle and have proved re- markably successful, according to of 'icers of United States Signal Corps today.
 The experiments were made under direction of Lieut.. Col, George O. Squier, who has been seeking a new method of receiving messages over the government cable lines. A series of tests were made in Seattle on the Seattle-Sitka cable, 1,OS6 miles long, by officers of the Un- tied States Signal CorQs under the direction of the war department.
 The use of a type of receiving in strument employed in radio com munication is said to permit the reception of ordinary More signals Dy ear, eliminating the necessity for highly-trained cable-readers and permitting the operation of ocean cables under conditions that would make communication impossible un- der the present system.
 It is expected that the new ap- paratus will be installed in Seattle and at all of the Alaska cable sta tions in the near future as re- suit of the experiments just con- pleted. v ji

A Practical Idea.

The commemorative department OF
university extension is doing practical
work in offering to men enlisted for
war an opportunity to study French and
thus gain working knowledge of lam
guage which to them in service will be
OF almost inestimable value.
The cost of such instruction is borne
by the commonwealth, except that there
Is a charge of one dollar for special les
son papers. The preliminary details
have been carefully worked out, they are
practical in every stage, and those who
can do so should not fail to take advan-
tage of the opportunity. Instruction will
be given in armories and encampments,
and soldiers who are sent to other states
before completing their course may con-
tinue it by correspondence.
instruction will be based on the actual
conversational needs of a soldier in
France, and among those who are giving
their hearty cooperation are some of
the most competent teachers of French
in this and other countries.-Boston
