RECORDS IN HANDLING
Despite Many Demands Cars are
Being Taken Care OF In Faster
Service Than
Previously.

American railways are making ef-
fective their efforts to promote greater
Transportation efficiency to aid in win
ming the war, according TO bulletins
received frequently at local railroad
centers. The number of problems that
confront the railroads at present are
being speedily taken up for solving by
national, state and local boards anu
gratifying results have already been
apparent.
railroads. cars are being handled with
20 .per cent greater efficiency than
ever before, according to statements
made by local officials lately. Every
effort is being made to have freight
cars loaded and unloaded as quickly as
possible, in order to keep them avail
able for use. Capacity loading Is also
being ordered done in every case.
Freight cars in the east are being
brought west as rapidly as possible IN
preparation for transportation of mar
vests. Freight cars made an average
OF 2S.3 miles day in May last year.
and this year 1916 miles, an increase
of per cent. In the same period, the
mileage Of cars moving empty was re-
duced by per cent, while the mileage
of cars under load was increased by
t9:5 per cent.
Making Equipment for Allies.
| New railroad equipment which can
be made in America is now being sent
to our allies in Europe. The problem
of our railroads is to handle very
great increase in freight with virtually
no increase in cars, locomotives or
tracks. In that effort they are not only
Incorporating among themselves, but
are receiving splendid support from
the public and the shippers.
Actual returns just now compiled are
from railroads having 1906 miles OF
lime. The reports show that these lines
lin May last year gave service equiv
alent to carrying 25,426,S45,011 tons OF
freight one mile, while this year they
carried 20, 522 ,S7O,109 tons one mile, an
increase of exactly 1871 per cent.
: This great increase in service was
. rendered with a very slight increase
lin the amount of equipment used. The
j. number Of freight locomotives in ser
vice in May last year was 24,362, while
this year the number was 24,483, an
increase of one-half of l per cent.
More Cars in Service.
Last year in May there were 1900;
SAP freight cars in service, while this
year the number was 1,S33,921, an in
creases of l As per cent.
A distinct mark Of progress Is the
great reduction in the number OF
J freight cars in the shop or waiting re
; pairs. Last year in May there were
} 113,147 cars under, or awaiting repairs
while this year only 104.061 were in
, that condition Locomotives in repair
; or awaiting repairs last year were 4,

HNo Warships Lost, 7
 Sec. Daniels Declares,
 Replying to Rumors

Washington, May 26-A denial that any American naval vessels have been sunk in the war was issued yesterday by Secretary Daniels to cq11nteract what he called "a campaign of vicious rumors that is being carried on so industriously by persons unknown
 It was thesfirst official notice to be taken of reports Of naval disasters that started as soon as it was known that American destroyers were in the war zone.
 Tt is with deep regret, said the Secretary, that note the daily stream of false reports with regard to the sinking of American ships. Brok- craze wires are a particular source for those baseless rumors that cannot but be the cause of needless distress to every true American, as we'll as to the mothers and fathers of the nation who have sons at sea.
 "The department has given repeat ed assurance that it's policy is to be one of absolute frankness with respect to disaster. If it should be that ships are sunk, full information will be given outt officially and quick ly.
 t'The reason for these false reports cannot be ascertained. The one hope is that thepress will refuse to aid this campaign of vicious rumor that is being carried on so industriously by persons unknown"

BRITAIN TO END ALL
 SPECULATION IN FOODS

London, May 26-tAM speculation in foodstuffs is to be prohibited imme- diately by the Ministry of Food, Ken nedy Jones, Director Of Food Econ orny, informed the Associated Press yesterday.
 Speculation in lard and wheat al eady has been placed under the ban, and it is now proposed to include meats and other foods in the prohibit ton. The new order will eliminate from dealings in food those not ac- tualay engaged in the distribution of it.
 The question of fixing food prices in Great Britain is still unsettled. It is stated that action is largely depend ent on whether control is established in America, since England Is mainly dependent oh the United States for supplies and is unable to fix prices here unless export prices are con trolled on the other side. If Congress decides to fix export prices, the un- derstanding is, then Great Britain, in conjunction with France and the other allies, will immediately institute steps to establish an international board which will set uniform prices for food for all the Allied nations.
 There is increasing probability of the needlessness of resorting to com pu1sory rationing in Great Britain be- fore the next harvest. according to MT. Jones, who states that figures avail able show a 10 per cent. reduction in the consumption of bread during May as a result Of the voluntary campaign. This reduction, he said exceeded the expectations of the food control de- pertinent.
