Raps Commission
 "I have no hesitancy in declaring that both the commission and the rail roads are completely overwhelmed and have lost grasp of the situation" said MI Griffin, "as a matter of fact the intervention Of the interstate com merce commission has been harmful rather than otherwise, and the meth ods of relief insisted upon, or offered by them, has been fanciful and with out any substantial results"
 Help Needed Now
 The statement asserts that un- less remedy is found the demor- aization will extend to all com modties. 1t concludes:
 "l am willing to predict that within less than 30 days the com merce of this country will be pros trated unless some large and more influential power than the railroads and the interstate com merce commission is placed in control of the matter"
 Potatoes up 1000 Percent
 MT Griffin said that grain is today the cheapest food commodity in the world. He said that prices here at present are but 20 percent above the level which has ruled during the war while potatoes and produce general ly are selling from 200 to 1000 per cent higher than the level of a year ago."
 "The distress at consuning points" he continued. "is clearly demonstrat- od h.- ha grain. While the value at Chicago and other western markets is moder- ate, grain for immediate delivery in the east is selling at a premium of from five to twenty cents a bushel above Chicago parity. freight condi- tions considered"
 1oe,o00 Cars Short
 His attention was invited to the of ficial statement that the car shortage of the country is now 109.000 cars. ''I don't know just what those fig ures mean" he said, but I do know that we could use 10000 cars in Chi cago right now"
 Telegrams along the lines given in his statement were sent by MT Grif- fin to presidents of eastern railways and to the interstate commerce con- mission earlier in the day
 East "Hoggine" Cars
 In these he asserted among other things that continuance of the pres ent situation will lead to the danger of anarchy and rioting. He asserted that the root of the trouble lies in the use of a disproportionate number of de fnr. n manufactured articles bringing the railroads higher revenue than grain and fOodstuffs. He said that muni tions of war formed only a part of two or three hundred articles which were given preference in the matter Of cars.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21-Drastic measures of precaution were adopted today by the chief railroads of the east to meet varying emergency needs for coal and foodstuffs from the Mis-. sissippi River to Maine, due to the acute shortage and congestion of freight cars.
 Chief of these measures was the despatch of rush orders to all rail. roads concerned for the prompt tran sportation of gas, coal and coke to IS towns and cities in the middle west where it was announced possible in terruption" of light. heat and power service would result unless the short. age was relieved at once.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Although informed of the modification of the terms of the British blockade as pro- mulgated in London today. state de- pertinent officials are reserving judge ment upon the subject until the new order can be carefully studied. It ap- pears that today's announcement is intended to assert unequiovcally the right of prize courts to condemn a neutral vessel with her cargo if the latter is of enemy origin or is bound for an enemy country.

Insists on Our Rights

The President, it was reiterated. is just as anxious as any member of the senate or house to avoid war, al though determined that the rights of the United States be respected. One of his reasons for desiring action by congress now instead of risking the necessity for a special session. was said to be a belief that call for an extra session in an emergency might result in dangerous excitement.
 Various. problems resulting from the break in diplomatic relations with Germany are being cleared up but it was emphasized at the state depart ment today that the one big issue fac ing the American government is the continuance of Germany's submarine camnaigD

Replies to Griffin.

The interstate commerce commis. sion is working to meet the situation in cooperation with the railway men. A telegram from President Griffin of the Chicago board of trade, appealing for relief and asserting that riots would result and embargo were placed immediately on all products out of Chicago except fuel and foodstuffs, stirred up considerable indignation at the commission and drew a prompt reply. Assertions in the message were declared erroneous" by the commis- sion in so far as they reflected upon fContinued on Page 9

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-The gen orally accepted idea that President Wilson will address congress again on the German crisis before the end of next week virtually was confirmed today in official quarters. There was no announcement and it was said that the President still was considering his next step, but officials pointed out the necessity of congress making provision for any emergency which might arise after adjournment and explained that the President would not go to the capitol to ask for dec laration of war but merely for author ity to protect American rights.

Expect Sailors Release

It was revealed that on Monday a vigorous demand for the release of the American prisoners on the prize ship Yarrowdale was forwarded to Berlin, and it is fully expected that the demand will be complied with.
 On the submarine issue it was stat cd officially. the only step on the part of Germany which will satisfy the American government will be the re- newal of the pledges given after the Sussex was attacked.
 In the face of reports on the atti- tude of Germany and Austria Hunga- ry most officials think the time rapid ly is approaching when diplomatic re- latiOns with the latter country will be broken, and steps taken to protect American merchantmen desiring to pass through the dangerous area.
 There still is a disposition on the part of state department officials not to discuss the Austrian situation. No ground for any hope that the Vienna government will repudiate Germany's position is to be found, however. So far as can be learned no reply to the note from the United States inquir- ing for a clear statement of Austria's attitude has been received.
