eral McAdoo today Is blasting away at
freight congestion in eastern territory
and speeding coal to states suffering in
zero weather.
The national railroad advisory board,
eNplastRs the old raiIroad war board
And operating committee faced q gi-
gantic task with confidence that last
nights orders to the eastern lines
would achieve results.
Railroads may annul passenger trains
to move freight. All old priority orders
were scrapped. The rule today is
clear away congestion, keeping In
mind the vital need for moving food
and fuel"
DRASTIC MEASURES.
Drastic measures for immediate re-
lief of the New England and New York
coal shortage are in effect. Fifteen
hundred carloads Of coal begin arriving
in New England today under special
emergency routing. and five ships start
loading some 10000 tons at New York

points.

In the meantime he called upon all

McAdoo's organization is getting up
steam steadily. Daily wire reports are
received from all eastern lines giving
the location OF congestion. surplus
freight offered that could not be moved,
reports on coal delay and appeals for
aid in solving conditions beyond the In
dividual railroad control.
His order to clear the tracks" by
moving every bit Of freight regardless
of former priorities was explained by
McAdoo as follows:
Very often 1t Is quicker to move

shipments than to dislodge these 500

that plea be accepted then the task of
Allied statesmen will be more compl-
Gated and more dangerous. The world
wants to know who caused the war, and
it will not rest until that stupendous
question is answered.
General estimates indicate that 4,000,-
600 men were killed in battle upon the
Allied side. The war has so far cost the
Allies about 5000, 100000 900. 1t was at
this staggering price that the Kaiser
was tried, convicted and isolated for pun

lesser criminal should ever again be
punished if civilization fails in a mood
of weakness or uncertainty at this hour.

hunger through the control of the

They can divide and weaken the German

there is honesty and foresight in the

Wilhelm is still menace. There are
100000 reasons why he should be cx-

death he caused. Add to this the blind
