not seizing the crews of German
ships and is interested only in pre-

SUBMARINE BLOCKADE
CAUSES CONGESTION

CHICAGO, Feb. IS. - The refusal
of eastern railroads TO receive ship
ments owing to the submarine em-
barge is causing unprecedent freight
congestion at western terminals.
Western roads are adopting the
same measures us the eastern roads
and are ordering the refusal of ship
ments billed to points east OF Chi
cago, unless storage facilities are
guaranteed.
Yice-president Byron of the Burl-
ineton stated upwards of ten thous-
and cars congested the Chicago
yards. Warm weather insuring the
release of cars now used for trans
porting fuel is the only hope of re-
lief, the officials said.
Kansas City and st. Louis condi-
tions are reported to be terrific"
With the continuation of the embar-
go big decline in the prices of food
stuffs is expected. Western markets
will be flooded with perishable and
non-perishable foodstuffs.
The Rosenbaum Grain company
has closed five elevators with a ca
pacity of seven million bushels as
result of the embargo. The grain
prices have been reduced two and
three cents. 1t is announced that
dozen other elevators will soon close.
These are filled with grain that the
owners cannot ship.
