Il regret TO find that there is a DISPOSE

that there shall be no cessation OF the

icaliy. II is imperative that the loan shall
be largely 0yer-subsCribed.'
The wisdom of Mr.. McAdop'- advice IN
the districts which have already secured
their quota cannot be- Questioned. for some
one must make up for our lack of response
~ this district. Seeing that there H. only
one county ia the eleventh district which
has secured fifty per cent Of it, quota. II

New York, Feb. 1.-THE country's
car shortage situation was on Febru-
airy ! the worst in ten years. with one
exception. according to figures made
public here today by the American
Railway association. The railways
look to more favorable weather and
to an increase of trans Atlantic cargo
space as chief remedial measures, and
unless these are early developments,
it was stated on behalf of the associa-
ton, immediate relief may not be ex-
pected.
On February L. the net shortage of
freight cars numbered 109,770, as
compared with 62,247 on January /,
on November J., the number was
114,90S, which had stood as a record
since February, 1907. Figures cover
ing last Thursday, February Is, will
be made public in a few days. 1t is
not known yet whether the shortage
has decreased or increased since the
first of the month.
The January increase is attributed
to the accumulation of freight at the
eastern seaboard, the severe weather
in various parts of the country and
the freight congestion in the interior.
1t is declared that the shortage exists
for the most part in the west, north
west and southwest, as opposed to
surplusages in many parts of the east.

Tucson, Ariz., Feb. 17.---The body
of a man deCapitated Tuesday at
Benson, near here, was identified to-
day as Thomas II. Jarvis of Edin-

SIX STEAMERS LEAVE
FOR EUROPEAN PORTS

New York, Feb. 17.-Six steamships
sailed from here for European ports
today, including the big Holland
America liner Noordam. None of
them, as far as could be learned, car
ried passengers. The British steam
ship Verdi started for Liverpool, but
turned back and anchored off quar-
antine after proceeding as far as
Sandy Hook. No explanation was
forthcoming as to the reason for the
Verdis return.
Besides the Noordam, the vessels
that put to sea today with freight
cargoes were the British steamer Ro-
man Prince, the Dutch steamer Texel,
the Spanish steamers Mar Negro and
Mouro, and the Swedish steamer Hell
singborg
1t was announced that the Moor
dam, bound for Rotterdam, would put
into Halifax instead of Kirkwall, for
examination by the British authori-
ties, but whether any of the other
vessels would follow the same course
could not be ascertained.

SHIP OWNERS SAY THEY
ARE READY TO COOPERATE


New tom, rGD. fs--U UWne4s and
agents of ships declared today they
were ready to do their part in reliev-
ing the railroad freight congestion.
They predicted that exporters would
have no cause for complaint that they
could not find vessels to carry their
goods-at least, no greater cause than
existed before the declaration of the
German submarine blockade
Railroad men We're inclined to agree
that the new submarine campaign
played only a small part in the freight
situation The most important factor
in the situation, they said, was the
weather, which had been the worst
in many years.
Twenty-one merchant ships arriving
here yesterday promised greater cargo
space than the port of New York has
enjoyed for some time. Fourteen of
these came through the war zone.
