Cleveland. January 9.-tSpeeiaLl-ihe Iron Trade Review today says:
 Stagnation in shipping is having par aiyzing effect in all directions on iron and steel industry. The climax of a epmbi- nation of inadequate supplies of cars and motive power of coal and other manu- faoturing supplies has been reached dur ing the past week. Conditions are pro- nouneed to be the worst in the history of the industry. As a result. scores of mills and furnaces have been forced down and loss of production has mounted far into thousands of tons.
 The outlook for an immediate im- provement is not promising, though stren- uous efforts are being made to restore something like normal conditions. Many plants rapidly are filling their storage space and unless they are able to dis patch shipments their speedy shutdown Will be necessitated The extent of in terruptions or blast furnace operations in recent weeks is shown by December production statistics in pig iron. The output last month was the lowest since August, 1915. During the month, 2S fur naces were blown out and banked. The less in production compared with Novem Der was F per cent. December produc- ton was 2,sS6,553 tons, an average of 93,- 1i5 tons daily, against 3,199,59T tons in No- vember daily average of l06.620 tons. Blast furnaces in Pennsylvania. Ohio

WILSON'S ADDRESS HAS LEADING PLACE
 IN BRITISH PRESS

London, January 9.-President Will sons speech. like all his utterances since America entered the war. takes
 the leading place in both the news and editorial columns of the London press, One newspaper describes it as the magma charta of future peace pru- dence."
 Coming so closely on the heels of Premier Lloyd Georges address at the labor conference. the words of the heads of the American and British gov ernments are compared closely. While some differences are found in the man.
 ner of discussing the various questions
 this evenings newspapers find no dis agreement in essential policy. It is noted that the President deals
 more sympathetically with the bol- sheviki than did the premier, but it is pointed out that America has not suffered from the Russian collapse as the western allies have. However, the Westminster Gazette welcomes MT. Wilson's careful, sympathetic lan- guage," and says "it hopes that all misunderstanding which may have arisen from other statements will be removed by the unequivocal language in which the President adopts the Rus sians demands as his own" The speech appears in the newspa-
 pers under big headlines, such as
 "Americas Terms to Germany,
 World Peace Programme" and Great
 Prosramme of International Reforms
 The Evening News, in it's introduc- ton. describes the speech as one Of world wide importance, in which the President laid down Americas peace terms in clear, direct and simple lan- guage. It continues:
 With but triling exceptions MT. Wilson's views coincide with and in- dorse those expressed by MT. Lloyd George. Because of this fact MT. Will sons speech will be read with double satisfaction in this country" The Evening News regards as note worthy passages of the speech those offering help to Russia and declaring that the peace negotiations must be absolutely open.

Paris, January 9.-Only summary of President wilson's address to Com sress had reached Paris by way of London up to noon today.
 The Temps says it is awaiting the arrival of the full text of President Wilson's declaration before comment ing CT his peace programme as a the passage in the Presidents address dealing with Alsace -Lorraine:
 "Tr is the first time the President Of the United States has declared him aelf on the Alaace Lorraine question. We had TO corhts as to his senti- nients but we are profoundly glad that he has expressed them. We thank hin: also for placing the problem on it's true ground, in presenting the restitu- ton of A -Lorraina as a necessary condition for genera. peace and not only as special clai i'm of the French people,

La Liberte con trasts the generosity of President Will sons attitude toward Russia with "the perfidious maneuvers of the central powers at Brest-Litovsk," and adds:
 President Wilson was right in end- ing with declaration of America s determination to fight until these sub iects are attained, and as our arms alone, not speeches, will convince Ger many of the justice of our cause
