Ships Will Be Provided Rapid

Steel Needed Most.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-All ex-
port restrictions will be waived by the
American government in forwarding
supplies to Italy to aid in meeting the
Austro- German invasion. The Italian
government, II was made known today.
will be permitted to take the kind of
materials II needs most, regardless of
prospective shortages here.
The military and political situations
in Italy and the aid America VIII rem
der, were gone over at a conference
today between Secretary Lansing and
Count di Cellere, the Italian ambas-
sador Italy's crying need for ships
was given especial consideration.
Approximately one hundred thou
sand tons of shipping has been prom
ised Italy. Four vessels already have
been turned over and the Others VIII
be delivered as fast as they are avail
able. The shortage of ships Is so seri-
Gus, however, that the whole amount
of tonnage promised may not be avail
able under thirty days.
Italy's greatest need Is coal and
next steel for her munitions factories.
She has been drawing on this country
for about one hundred thousand tons
of coal a month, but now that English
coal is harder to obtain her require
menus from l1t lHittu SldttS VIII dP-
proach four hundred thousand tons
monthly. The country starts the win

two million tons of coal short

that the Italians will make trade
with Spain for n large amount of
Spanish tonnage 10 supplement the
American ships At the same time the
Italians will put into trans Atlantic
service as many of their own ships
as possible.
Italy's food situation. 1t was said
today. is not as bad as it has been pic
tured The bread ration is larger now
than in either France or England. IT.
however, the Italians wish to transport
food in preference to coal and muni-

have beef saved, however, when they
leaped from the ship - the water.
The Baltimore 4 Ohio's loss was es-
mated tonight by Vice President
Thompson at S4,000,000. He said the
destruction of piers 5 and would not
stop the roads business at Locust
Point and that freight would be ac-
cepted as usual.
Reconstruction would begin at once,
he said, contracts for material havint
been already awarded. Insurance
covered the railroads loss.
The damage to the steamer and its
cargo is estimated at 100000 while
$500, 900 loss is thot to have been sus-
tanned by the Furness, Witty Steam
ship company, which used the piers
for its terminals.
Among the goods destroyed were
seven thousand cases Of imported
liquor, $50 carloads of flour fifty
carloads of tobacco and 10000 bales
of wood pulp.

Lifht snd Police Protection

With au ali night street lighting sys tenn every night in the year; with a better illuminated business section and with a better and more thoroughly poIiced city, Putnam will take another long stride along the lane Of progress.
 While the matter of "cost" will be brought up by some citizens we be- lieve that sll will agree with Byron D. Bugbee, that Putnam has stood in a ridiculous light fof some time on ac- count of It's antiquated method of street lighting and its lack of sufficient police protection in the night season
 The combination of all night lights snd an extra patrolman Is n eombina- ton that will mean excellent protec ton. Take away either and the eff eiency would be reduced. Even half A dozen policemen working in the biackness of night when it is impossi- bie to see from one side of the street to the other would not afford the ptotCc ton of two men under the rays of ar- tificial light. Neither would an all night lighting system with but one man patroling the business section, and he of duty for an hour in the middle of the night, afford adequate protection. But with the ombination Of all night lights and an extra patrol man 1t would seem that the city Is to have adequate protection and get re- turns commensurate with the amount of money expended.
 lhe more brilliantly lighted bust. ness section during the hours when people are out for business or for pleas ure will give the effect of live, pros porous and progressive city. It will impress the outsider that Putnam Is not "graye ynrd," but thoroughly will tend to draw more people 10 the city, especially on nights when stores Are open, for the hustle and hustle of q brilliantly lighted city appeals to peo- pie and they will come to town under such conditions when they would not come to dark, gloomy, dismal look ing shopping center excepting absolute necessity demanded it.
 The matter of providing this extra lighting system in the business sec ton will, we assume, fall upon the shoulders Of the street lighting com mittee. There is an opportunity to work out plan that will be artistic as we'll as brilliant in effect. A system Of posts up and down the business sec ton topped by globes containing lights is one of the possibilities to give the desired result. It would seem that the old overhead arc light, way above the street, is not now considered a modern method of lighting the main thorough fares of any community. There Is a great possibility before the committee in carry Ing out the expressed wishes of the electors at the annual city meet ing to have ii better lighting system in the business section. Doubtless they will investigate systems used in other places before taking action and when | they decide upon plan 1t will in all Probability be one that will give Put. nam 6 brilliant and aftistically lighted | business section,
