Kansas City and st. Louis report
traffic conditions there are terrific. ["
Only one road out OF st. Louis Is CIV
Ing through bills to the seaboard.
Shippers are up in arms. but thus
far have secured no relief.
In Kansas City shippers described
the situation as the worst In the his
tory Of the city. The Santa Fe road
alone is said to have 100 loaded cars
tied up in its yards. waiting to be
delivered to eastern points. The
freight tied up consists mostly Of
grain. hay, alfalfa. meal and lum-
Der.
The Santa Fe probably is the worst
hit. because Of its being the largest
line tapping the middle and far west
ern markets. Other roads entering
Kansas City also report difficulty In
getting cars to seaboard destina-
tions.
That there are more than ten
thousand cars tied up In Chicago
yards alone. was the statement Of
Chicago. Burlington & Quincy rail-
road oflcials.
According to II. Il. Byron, vice
president, the c. B. & Q. alone has
about 1000 cars on It's hands. Many
of these are from other roads, how
ever. A similar condition exists on
the Chicago, Milwaukee 4 st. Paul
and the Big Four. Officials OF the
Big Four stated that not a single
western road was accepting ship
ments for the east except upon
special orders and guarantees that
the cars would be given clearance.
More than 1000 cars loaded with
lumber and cotton are being held in
the Big Four yards, according to j.
H. PorterfieId. superintendent OF
transportation Of that line. In ad-
dition to these. 900 are held at In
dianapolis and 2v400 at other In
diana and western Pennsylvania
points.
Eastbound shipping is at q stand

II is explained that the German
submarine embargo is holding goods
to the limit Of eastern storage. and
as a result eastern railroads are un-
able to unload cars.
With warmer weather predicted,
and a continued embargo on ship

look for big decline In prices on

they point out, will 'be a flooding Of
western markets with perishable and
non-perlshable foodstuffs.
The uncertainty OF the national
Political situation will prevent spec

overlook the present opportunity for
securing top figures for their pro-
drce.

Berne, Feb. 13.---Germany's pub
lie and oficialdom do not believe en-
trance OF America Into the war would
have the slightest effect on the out
come.
As a matter OF fact, Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg believes with prep
arations now under way. the war will
be won by Germany before America
could enter--if she does enter.
When Ambassador Gerard and his
party left Berlin orders had been is
sued by the German military au-
thorities cancelling all vacations OF
army officers and men for the month
Of February.
That move developed the informa-
tion that Won Hindenburg was await
ing the opportune moment for the
great. final effort for Germany's
forces.
Germany's military leaders believe
the moment Of Germany's victory is
at hand. They hold this victory will
be achieved because Of the success
which will attend the unlimited sub
marine warfare and because Of the
shortage Of French munitions and
supplies, due to lack OF coal in
France.
Moreover, the leaders think the
final. overwhelming effort will be
made, and complete success achieved
before America can move.
Though the German army and
navy is prepared--and anxious-for
war with America, German news
papers have been urging Americans
to work for peace and have been be-
seeching the German admiralty not
to torpedo ships carrying American
passengers. Their efforts, however. do
not appear to be successful.
During the past three months. the
German censorship has been severe.
Correspondents have been unable tru-
ly to picture conditions In Germany.
Only such dispatches as were de.
signed to influence American opinion
we're allowed to pass.

 On the evening of the third day of the convention, an exhibition will be
 given of the technicolor standard films, which is the projection of nov ing pictures in natural colors from black and white films. This is the first time an exhibition of this pro cess has been given publicity.
 Probably the most interesting SO cial feature of the convention will be a trip on Washingtons Birthday to West Point. In the past year, the mining engineers have cooperated in the organization of the country's in dustrial resources for military pre- paredness and strong bond of com mon interest has developed between many military officers and officials of the Institute.
 The delegates to the convention will go to West Point in a special train, where there will be riding exhi- bitions, an address by an officer of the post, and an inspection of the grounds and buildings.

extent of our own public school build 1ngs has long been matter of doubt full value. We do not mean to state that public school buildings are not at present necessary. But when one considers the enormous expense of these plants, and in contrast with it the wonderful adaptability of the hu- man mind, at least it is fair to raise the question whether we are not mak- ing mistake by unduly encouraging our school buildings to take up such large proportion of the expense of education.
 Consider the course of a pupil in one of our public schools. For years he occupies the same building, of which the class rooms are all pre- cisely alike. Even the pictures on the walls are likely to remain there with out change. When he moves from the lower grades into the high school he is transferred, possibly, into an- other building, but which is essentially uniform with the one he has just left, At the most formative period of his life he is subjected to a deadly uni formity extending over years Even the book covers all look alike He must feel that all the text books are baked for him in the same oven Each one of us knows by experience how our environment affects us, and how, when it becomes too monoton- ous, it reacts upon our entire organ ism. Outside of the cut and dried school building is the utmost variety as far as the eye and mind can reach nature and man wing with each other to produce the contrasts needed to stimulate the whole being. No wonder the imprisoned pupil whoops as he tears loose from this deadly monotony Then consider also the effect upon the teachers. Watch them, talk to them, and see what they say about it. What wonderfully interesting ex- pertinent it would be not to have any school at all, but just teachers and pupils. We have feeling that some thing really big would come out of this experiment.

to make his speech. Accordingly, a touring car was placed in position in front of the exhibit and once more the Maxwell name became a large factor in an epochal event.
 So from the beginning the Maxwell headquarters was the center of attrac- tion at the show and it has continued so right to the end of the week. None but stock models were shown at the exhibit in Grand Central Palace. A cut-out chassis and a Maxwell parts board were two interesting features of the display. The exhibit was un- der the able direction of l.. w. Van dersoll.
 The outstanding feature of the show from the Maxwell standpoint vas the enthusiastic reception ac- corded the neW one-ton truck. The chassis was set up in the big assemb- ly room of the Biltmore hotel where a constant stream of visitors viewed it from the beginning of the week un- til the show was over.
 The open body type was on view at the branch store, 1908 Broadway .
 All visitors, whether automobile dealers, engineers or interested mem bers of the laity, were unanimous in the verdict that the new truck is just the type of vehicle that has been wanted Dealers on every hand made eager inquiries about deliveries and assurances were heard on every hand that dealers will dispose of all the trucks they can possibly get.

Travel to Arizona's Scenic Wonder
 Heavy, 5,129 Make Trip by Auto

While the steam railroad continues to be the favorite conveyance for long-diStance travellers touring the far west, lots of travellers chauffeur there by auto, regardless of tire trou- bleS and longer time required. The Grand Canyon of Arizona was visited in 1916 by 31, 1858 persons Of this number 26,229 came by rail on the Santa Fe and 5,129 by auto, for the most part stopping off en route to or from California.
 Thirty-six states were on the auto list as checked up at Fl Tovar ga- rage, and four foreign countries. One auto party travelled all the way from China, another from England, a third from Hawai- and a fourth from Mexi- co. The outer fringes of Uncle Sam's domain were represented by Vermont, Louisiana, Minnesota and Oregon.
 The mascots or pets carried by these enthusiasts of the open road comprised nearly the whole menage- rie-dogs, cats, hens, monkeys, par rots, rabbits, roosters and squirrels Ford machines were in the majority, but there were plenty of highest priced cars, too.
 Many were fitted up for every pos sible contingency, day or night, rain or shine. They were ingenious trav- cling homes for the whole blank fami- " including Fido.
 The Grand Canyon is open by rail all the year. Auto travel mainly is confined to the period from March to November Arizona is noted for it's excellent highways roads in the Canyon region are especially good.

When the annual automobile show opened at Grand Central Palace, New York City, on Saturday, January G. it was from the tonneau of a Maxwell touring car that the inaugural fes tivities were conducted. The big show was launched from the Maxwell exhibit, at once proving that Maxwell is the center of attraction, no matter what the setting.
 It was an inspiring scene. Thou sands of visitors were packed about the Maxwell booth when Francis Hugo, secretary of the State of New York, arose to formerly iHaugurate the show. The press of people was
