Washington, January 27-Although improvement in weather conditions and freight movement was reported to the director general of railroads today, the embargo on shipment of freight other than fue., food or munitions. now in ef- feet on several eastern trunk lines, will remain in force this week. The railroad administration also plans to keep in op- cration the re-routing plan in force on soul heastern lines.
 The b.!zzald that swept over the mid- dle west last night had passed early today, and train movements were re- suned On nearly normal schedules. Heavy snowdrifts in the railroad yards of Chicago and other central cities ma terially impaired service, but tonight better conditions were reported.
 Difficulty continues to be experienced with dumping coal at eastern terminals on account of the frozen cars The work of bunkering steamers at Atlantic ports proceeded rapidly yesterday and today, however and A. H. Smith, director of eastern Ines reported that coal now IS teing P: oy ded as fast as needed.
 Higher temperatures in Virgi.ia and West Virginia facilitated fuel move ments in that section today.

 Since the debacle on the Russian front, the fact has been well estab- lished that the high command of the German army purposed at as early a date as was practicable general mill itary attack against the entente front from the North sea to the Adrlatic. in the hope of gaining victories at vari- ous points through the bending back of the ententes line, which would give new heart to the people at home, whose hopes for ultimate victory are at low ebb.
 Doubtless, however, the American, British, French and Italian navies will not be taken unawares by the sub marine menace, which recently has fallen off in great degree when the number of merchantmen sunk by the under water boats is compared with that of previous months. Depth charges bombs dropped from sea- planes and many other methods have been adopted by the American and as sociated naval forces to overcome the U-boat attacks and most successfully, and the assumption is that, fore warned, these efforts will be greatly multiplied in an endeavor to protect shipping plying the trade routes.
 The German chancellors speech to the main committee of the Reichstag on Germany's requirements for peace has not quenched the thirst of the great mass of the people outside the militaristic realm for a cessation of hostilities. The furore created among this branch of the people has been so great, apparently, that Pan-German newspapers are declaring that Field Marshal Won Hindenburg and his right-hand man, General Von Lunden- dorff, are talking of retiring. The militarists wing seemingly is of the opinion that the words of the chan cel1or were too moderate; the proleta- riat, desiring peace, considers his speech as evasive. One of the German newspapers characterizes it as "equivalent to a battle won by the enemy"

 Reports coming by way of Amster- dam are to the effect that King Charles has accepted the resignation of the Hungarian cabinet and charged Premier Wekerle with the task of forming a new one.
 On the battle fronts there has been no change in the general situation. Intermittent artillery duels and pa trol encounters continue on various sectors. Near Capo Sile, on the lower Piave river, the Austrians again have attempted to penetrate Italian bridge head positions, but met with repulse.

List of Entries and Some of the Issues Which Figure
 in Various Districts
TWO SEEK PLACE OF
 GRAY IN THE FIRST
Attitude Toward Amend ment Is Expected to Be a Factor Wherever Con-
 tests Develop
By HUGH ". ROBERTS

Washington. January 26.-(Special) John McDuffie and Percy Roach, law yers and politicians have announced their candidacy against Representative Gray of the First Alabama. J. J. speight, lawyer and politician. has announced his candidacy against Rep rcsentative Steagall of the Third. Rep rssentative Burnett of the Seventh is opposed by J. A. Lusk, lawyer and politician. M. B. Grace, lawyer, has announced his candidacy against Rep resentatfve Huddleston of the Ninth district.
 While the list of entries is not re- garded as closed, it is reasonably cer- tain that the following will not be op- posed for reelection: Mir. Dent of the Second Mr Blackmon of the Fourth, Mir HefIin of the Fifth. Mir. Oliver of the sixth, and Mir Bankhead of the Tenth.
 It is said to be probable that op position to MT. Almon of the Eighth will develop. Should MT. Heflin run for the Senate against Senator Bank head lively "free-for-all' will be pre- cipitated for the vacancy which would thus be created in the Fifth
 THE ISSUES CONSIDERED
 There will be no certain issue in the First, as both Mir. Gray and Mir. McDuffie are state rights" demo- crats. MT. Roach has not defined his position. In the Third the prohibition issue in the form of the proposed amendment to the constitution will be injected MT. Steagall supported the proposed amendment. MT. Speight will inveigh against it's adoption.
 This issue, it is believed will give MT, Speight strength which otherwise he would not have had. During the state amendment campaign of 1909 ev- cry county in the Third save one voted against the proposed amendment and in 1914, when the prohibition ques- rion was the sine qua non of the cam naign, every county supported Oscar sE. Underwood against R. P Hobson.
 Mir. Speight opposed MT. steagall g years ago and was badly beat

This, the first economy order un- der government operation of the rail- roads. will cut off large and we'll paid staffs maintained by many com panfes and eliminate from pay rolls hundreds of lawyers throughout the country who draw annual retainer fees. If it is complied with to the letter, as the director generals office intends to see that 1t is, thousands of free passes now held by state, coun- ty and municipal officials and oth- CTS will be cancelled.
 General order No. is the title of the order sent to officers and directors of all railroads. It follows:
 During the period of possession, operation and government control of railroads, it is necessary that officers, directors and agents of railroad com panies be very careful in the handling of moneys and in the dealing with transportation matters. Without at tempting at this time to give general directions there are a few matters involving the expenditure of moneys for purposes having no direct rela- tion to transportation which should receive immediate attention, as we'll as the issuance of free transportation.
 Tt is therefore ordered that the

 didate. it is admitted. He would be able to base his campaign on the fact that MT. Huddleston has not been re- sarded as partisan to the admin istration in it's conduct of the war against Germany. Mr. Huddleston has the unique distinction of having voted for the declaration of war and against the sole remaining plan of raising an army for the prosecution of that dec- laration. He stood with Representa- tive Dent for the volunteer system. but the volunteer system voted down, parted with MT. Dent when the chair man supported conscription Had Mir. Huddleston's voice been the voice of Congress the government today would be at war with Germany and at the same time unable legally to raise an army to defend itself.
 Nevertheless, it will require man as strong as Mir. Smith successfully to oppose the incumbent. It is not be- lieved in Washington that Mr. Grace has the necessary acquaintance or po- litical experience. MT. Huddleston made himself stronger, it is admitted by opposing the submission of the na- tional prohibition amendment, and Mir Grace, judging from his published statements, will depend for success on the support of Brooks Lawrence and his cohorts-a support which in the past proved unable to stem active opposition MT Smiths stand against national prohibition is we'll known

system, MT Lusk is on record as hav- ing said, weeks following the Bur nett expression of opposition, that he might have or might have not voted as Burnett voted had he been in Con- gress and faced with the responsi- bility.
 The question of prohibition cannot be injected. Mir Lusk has been in hearty sympathy with all prohibition fights in Alabama, and did yeoman service in assisting the pow werful" lobby to drive statewide prohibition through the legislature. MT. Burnett. likewise, has been consistent in his support of the dry" propaganda.

BLACKWOoD MAY ENTER

Iii this connection there is a report that another candidate may enter Judge Blackwood of Blount county Is mentioned. If he enters he will an nounce. according to information reach- ing Washington, as opposed to ratifi- cation of the prohibition amendment He would carry the fight into the territory of his opponents.
 Judge Blackwood Is handicapped by the fact that he holds judicial office Under the constitution, he cannot ac- cept another office under the state" until the expiration of his present term. It Is a question as to whether the position of representative in Con- gress is an office under the state" An excellent lawyer expressed the opinion today that such position could not be so construed. and a recent un- official expression of the chairman of the ways and means committee of the House was to the effect that mem Der of Congress was not an officer ill any respect.

MAY EFFECT FORT

If the contrary opinion is held, Judge William E. Fort would be pre-. vented from opposing Representative Huddleston provided Judge Fort is preparing. as is reported. to enter the fight. It is true that Congress passes on the credentials of it's members, but it is believed that Judge Fort would be certain of the opinion which would be officially expressed before he concludes to make the fight.
 Despite the fact that Mir. Grace has entered against MT. Huddleston, the understanding of the Alabama con- tingent in Washington is that strl others will try for the position. Judge Fort is mentioned. Hugh Morrow is still discussed and Robert N. Bell Is frequently referred to-
