ENGINES MORE
NECESSARY THAN.
CARS AT PRESENT
Railroad Administration Of
fcials Say They Are
Badly Needed.

Washington, July 13.-In the. light
OF experience with transportation diff
.culties during the winter of 1917-18,
chiefs Of the United States railroad
administration consider that addition
al locomotives r more necessary
now than additional freight cars.
Discussing the decision recently an
nounced to build 100, 900 new cars for
American railroads during the pres
ent year, railroad administration Off
cials say the number was fixed only
after every locomotive that existing
facilities could turn out during the
next year had been ordered.
1T was not a shortage OF cars that
brought about congestion.in the past
1t is said at the railroad administra-
ton. I'm fact. so many cars got lam
med up in terminals that they nearly
blocked transportation themselves.
The shortage was in motive power. So
in considering the matter this year,
when the war industries board fixed
the amount Of steel which it would
allot to railroad use, we assigned to
the engine shops every pound that
there was a reasonable chance of get
ting into a ne<T locomotive this year.
Any engine builder who can increase
his capacity can still get orders. .
After that, an estimate OF the
amount of steel available was made,
and as many ars as can come out of
it were ordered. That happened to be
loo, 000. They LIE of a composite steel
and wood design, adopted because 1t
will get more car out Of the steel sup
ply. Only the event itself will show,
but we consider that the construction
ordered will be sufficient to meet.the
strains, though all Of our calculations
are based upon an increased traffic
burden for railroads next year"

MINOR NEWS

OF MANY PLOTS
Chairman of Council OF
County Kerry sentenced for
Not Reporting Raid.

Dublin. July 13.-The unsettled
state Of the country districts in many
parts of ireland is reflected in the
minor news which reaches Dublin.
There are occasional rival raids for
arms by the police and the Sim
Feiners, frequent reports Of illegal
drilling, occasional stories Of disturb
anccs in which politics evidently play
q considerable part.
In County Kerry, m Of the hotbedF
county council has been sentenced to

House conference for permission to
go on strike" as a protest.
The prosecution Of the entire thirty
three members of the board Of guardi-
ans of County Limerick for certain
violent phrases used by them in an
anti-conscription resolution, marks the
first occasion ever in ireland, a coun-
try not lacking in strange ,precedents,
when the members Of q public body
sitting at a duly convened meeting
have been proceeded against for con-
shutting and unlawful assembly.
z The wording Of their resolution ap-
pears to have been particularly
strong. The resolution has not been
published, but there are sever clauses
in the summons charging the Guardi-
ans with assembling to sow dissen-
sion among the subjects of the king,
to cause d~isaffection and to impede
the successful prosecution of the war.

Markets
ADVANCES MADE
IN CORN MARKET
DURING THE WEEK

Chicago, July 13.-Advances have
taken place in the corn market this
week owing to congressional attempts
to lift the guaranteed price Of wheat
to $2.40 a, bushel.s Compared with q
week ago, corn this morning showed
advances varying from 5.1-4 to 9 7-S.
Oats were unchanged to l 3-S cents
higher and; provisions up 10 to 70
cents.
Fear that the cost of wheat -four
might become prohibitive to large
classes Of consumers and that the use
Of corn instead. would be increased,
manifested itself throughout the week
until definite announcement was made
that President Wilson's veto OF $2.4O
wheat was assured. /.
Meanwhile bulls had %contended
that even aside from the action OF
congress, corn was worth more money
on the basis of current premiums paid
for new wheat. Scarcity Of good
corn, sharp competition by millers,
sub-normal temperatures and wide
spread deficiency Of moisture proved
additional bullish factors which more
than Offset an official estimate that
the 1918 crop would be the largest
on record. .Hs
Hedging sales and rains in Canada
prevented the oats market from
showing much sympathy with corn
strength.
Provisions were stimulated by Alb
eral exports as well as by n bulge

PREPARING FOR
ATTACK IS one
OF HARD TASKS
Concentration of Divisions
Dangerous, as Enemy
Looks for Such Action.

Behind the British Lines in France,
July 13.-The task of concentrating
divisions for a modern battle on the
western front is by no means an easy
one, for it is naturally the enemy's
chief concern to prevent such a move
ment from being successfully and
easily accomplished.
Rapid concentrations are essential,
or else the all-important element of
surprise is lost, and rapidity depends
largely upon the skillful use of rail-
normal demands of the troops in the
assault area. For this reason the en-
emy's l~ong-range fire, as well as a
considerable proportion of his bomb
ing airplanes, are concentrated upon
the railroads in the back areas.
Under normal conditions, the ordi-
nary straight railway line is not par
ticularly vulnerable. Being so narrow
it is a difficult target to hit. The
curves of a railroad are, however,
much more important. The destruc-
ton of q section of rail on a curve
means more trouble than the destruc-
ton Of half a dozen sections on the
straight.
Sidings, railway-stations, and places
where her is a network Of rails, and
where there are points, functions and
other special types of rail, are even
more important than curves, for dam
age done at a vital center ma COM
pletely delay traffic for many hours.
Such r~ail-centers behind the German
lines are subjected by the British to a
form of time bombardment' so de-
vised that all repairs have to be car
ried out under the most harassing
conditions; and not an, hour passes
without shells or bombs bursting in
the affected area.
An important result Of this concen-
tration against the rail centers is that
troops cannot be massed for an.attack
without undergoing a certain amount
of Notwithstanding experiences first
There is no peace for them by day OF
by night. Under these conditions the
troops are stale before the attack is
launched.
AS this long-range bombardment is
controlled chiefly by airplane observa.
ton. an enormous advantage lies with
that side which is predominant in the
air. By the superiority Of their air
men the allied armies are able to
sweep all roads and railways in the
enemy's rear with concentrated artil-
lery fire by day and night; whilst
large squadrons Of bombing airplanes
keep the German rest areas and bill
lets p%erpetually under fire.
Thus the German soldiers are kept
In a state of nervous tension, the cas-
ualties are heavy, and the extra work
involved by the ever-increasing diff
ficulties leads to the concentration be.
Ing continuously delayed and hung up
Divisions suffer and lose their fight
ing value without ever being launch
ed against the enemy.

we will not reject them-and we will
