ALLIES CENTRALIZE
EMBARGO REQUESTS

At the request of the Railroads War
Board, France, Italy. England and
Russia have centralized their requests
for embargo modification permits with
the traffic executive, at 16o Broadway,
New York City.
This step has been taken to relieve
the various railroad embargo offices
from the needless congestion result
ing from thousands of requests for
modification permits, the majority of
which are Implications.
From now on, when permits are de-
sired for traffic consigned to Comp
troller Johannet for account of the
French government, Gen. Tozzi for
account of the Italian government,
Connop Guthrie for account of the
British government, or c. G. Medzik-
hovsky for account of the Russian
government, the application will be
made direct to the traffic executive.
who in turn through the embargo per-
nit department will make application
to the railroad company. This means
that the railroads no longer will be
burdened with thousands of duplicate
requests, but will receive only one re-
quest on each shipment from the
traffic executive.
1t is expected that this centraliza-
tion of authority will not only increase
the efficiency Of. the various railroad
embargo offices, but will tend to re-
lieve to a great extent the already
overburdened railroad and commercial
telegraph systems.

Reorganization VIII Be I'm
dertaken by the Federal
Trade Commission.

Governmental reorganization Of the
print paper industry. supervision and

tion yesterday by the order of the
Department Of Justice to the Federal
Trade Commission to resume it's sus-
pended investigation Of newsprint pa
per manufacturers, effect an equal
distribution of the trade and compel
fair prices.
This is the largest undertaking that
has come before the Federal Trade
Commission in more than a year. it
was said at the Commission yester-
day, and the task is to make certain
of the "unscrambling' of the combi-
nation that agreed to dissolve itself in
New York last Saturday, when sew
eral of its members were fined on
pleading guilty to indictments. and
then to scramble 1t again for the
best interests Of the country.
Beyond American Limits.
The task will have to include more

States. it is understood. because %

ufacturers there. The American
manufacturers at the trial in New
York agreed to sell print paper at
three dollars a hundredweight; the
Canadian price. established by Com
missioner Pringle. Dominion dictator
! for the paper products. is only two
dollars and a half. and Commissioner
! Pringle virtually set that price on the
basis of statistics obtained from the
| United States Federal Trade Com
mission on American conditions. 1t
| has been maintained that newsprint
here costs no more than a dollar and
half hundredweight to manufac-
ture.
The readjustment of the newsprint
industry here is TO be undertaken by
Commissioner Colver. assisted by DR..
z. o. Merchant, the economist who
handled the original investigation of

ago. when the Department Of Justice
took the matter under its jurisdiction
for prosecution OF the manufacturers
involved. Now. having concluded its
action against the alleged combina-

members and obtaining a tentative
agreement from all of them. IL has
turned the matter over TO the Fed

clearing up of conditions that long
have kept the newsprint industry in

MRS. HUMISTON
/ is CRITICISED
by SEC. BAKER
Terms Work Of Investigator
SANDER on Army and Re.
fuses Cooperation.

Singing criticism Of Mrs. Grace
Humiston and her activities in at
tempting to investigate and criticise
conditions at the national Army can
tonment at Camp Upton. Yaphank.
Long Island, was voiced yesterday by
Secretary of War Baker.
They followed an alleged attempt
by agents of Mrs. Humiston to
plant a case at Camp Upton. This
resulted in a man and a woman be-
camp by Gen, ]. Franklin Bell, jr.
last Sunday.
II hesitate to say anything which
would seem to dignity the activities
and statements Of Mrs. Humiston in
regard to conditions at Camp Upton"
declared Secretary Baked in an Off
cial announcement.
''She has been accorded altogether
too much publicity and the matter
should be allowed to drop.
Let me merely say that the army
has not been directed to cooperate
with her in her investigations. On
the contrary, Mr.. Fosdick. chairman
of the Commission on Training Camp
Activities. at my request, notified
her by wire over a week ago that her
proffered services as an investigator
were declined.
Whatever she does is on her own
responsibility. What she has so far
done seems to have begun in ire
sponsible slander upon the army and
ended in a futile and disgusting
trick
Several weeks ago Mrs. Humiston
made wide charges concerning moral
conditions at Camp Upton. and al

TEACHER SHORTAGE
HITS D. c. SCHOOLS
Many Young Women Have Resigned
Since Session Opened.

So many designations of teachers
have been received by school officials
during the last week that a serious
problem confronts them in assigning
necessary teachers to fill the va
cancies.
Earlier in the school year 1t was
almost an impossibility to get eff
cient teachers to fill the places of the
many educators who had received
government positions, and, as a result.
a shortage in teachers tied up the
school system.
Yesterday three designations were
received in the Sixth division and
many others have been received from
various other divisions.
School officials are of the opinion
that they will have no trouble in
filing the places of the teachers who
have resigned.
