Most Serious in History
The export situation today. however.
was declared by traffic heads of rail-
roads entering this city to be the most
serious in the history of the port of
New York.
The officials say the freight conges-
ton was not serious here, but that this
is true only by system of almost
wholesale embargOes against shipments
from the west for export. These embar-
goes. it was said, while they prevent
terminals and piers here from becom-
ing lllcd 10 capacity, are reSpoHSlple LOT
unusually congested conditions west of
Pittsburgh and Buffalo.
Unless relief is now assured through
early offerings of considerable cargo
space. according to men familiar with
the situation, more restrictive embar-
goes must be placed. congestion will in
crease in many parts of the country,
loaded cars will stand idle. great guam
titles of perishable foodstuffs will be
dumped on domestic markets, manufac-
turers will cease to consign shipments
eastward and the production of many
raw materials will be reduced.

Russian Army Makes
 Great Gains In CaIicia

Prisoners exceeding 10, GOO, and the capture of the village of Koniutchy and strongly fortified positions southwest of Brzezany are the first fruit of the new Russian drive begun Sunday north of Kohiutchy. The Rus slans have attacked, and fresh battle are Tn progress.
 The Russians have artillery, long inactive from lack of shells, played an important part in the defeat of Austro- Germans at Konlutchy. For two days a rain of iron was thrown into the German positions, and Berlin says officially that they were turned into crater field.
 The Russians carried three lines of German trenches and Koniutchy, which was strongly fortified, and also advanced to the koniutchy stre ans south of the village, which is on the Zlota Lipa river.
 Minister of War kerensky led the attack in person, and the army showed the greatest brav- cry. They were we'll supplied with arms and ammunition, and are making steady gains.
 On the second day the Rus sians captured 6,000 additional prisoners and a large number of canon.
