Railroad Administrator Issues Order Turning Over Thou
 sands of Cars for Shipment of Cereals to Atlantic Ports.
CRr Review Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Transpor- tation priority for grain. flour, corn meal and other grain products in west ern and middle western producing states was ordered today by Director General McAdoo to hasten to market all grains and particularly accumulat- ed stores of soft corn.
 This corn, full of moisture as a result of last years conditions, com poses as much as 40 per cent of the stocks in many sections and is threat ened with rotting in moderate weather of the last few days unless rushed to elevators and dried.
 The order is intended to also in sure adequate shipments of grain to fill allied orders. The situation was discussed yesterday al a conference between Director General McAdOo and Sir Richard Crawford. British embassy, who expressed fear that bad transportation conditions of recent weeks in the United States would seriously interfere with the allied food program unless special efforts were made to hasten grain to seaports.
 Thousands of Cars.
 Thousands of box cars will be used for the grain movement and cOnse- quently will be withheld from indus trial shipments. Unofficial preferen- tial orders have been in effect through out the western states for several days. and the quantities of grain haul ed has been far greater than in the corresponding period of last year.
 In addition to supplying more cars and giving preferential movement, railroads were ordered to have sta tion agents in rural communities and their traffic agents explain to farmers the necessity. of prompt loading and movement of grain stocks.
 The preferential movement will be discontinued as soon as the emergen- cy is past The railroad administra- tiOn's announcement specifics states to which the preferential order ap- plies. but officials said it will be ef- fective in others when the need of prompt shipment is apparent
 Even before the issuance of today's order the railroads might have given priority to grain under a former or der authorizing special preference for food products. fuel and war materials. Some roads had not furnished as many box cars as appeared necessary for grain movement. and the special in structions were issued accordingly.

German Spy Found Among 
Rr Review Leased Mirel

AN ATLANTIC PORT. Feb. B. A German spy was reported tonight to have been found among the party of first and second cabin passengers of the Dutch liner Nieuw Amsterdam who earlier in the day was detained by federal agents for examination.
 After twelve thin sheets of paper. covered with letters and figures of a code had been found upon him. the man is said to have broken down and confessed that he is in the pay of the German government, and had come here in order to furnish spies now op- erating in this country with the new code. He is also said to have stated that he received large sum of money for undertaking the mission. but re- fused to give the names of the persons to whom the code was to be delivered
 The man was said to be a natural iZed American citizen of German or Dutch origin.
 Since the arrival of the Nieuw Am sterdam here on Thursday elaborate precautions have been taken to pre- vent German spies on board from smuggling papers ashore.
 Only government officers were aI- lowed to meet the ship and when the vessel dOcked it was guarded by 100 sailors and marines and rope barriers were stretched between the passen- gers leaving the ship and the persons waiting to meet them.
 Every person on board was thor Oughly searched before he was permit ted to pass the barriers and cOmmuni- cate with those on shore and after all had been searched thirty-seven men and three women, it was stated. were detained for further questioning. IL was among these the spy was found.
 The purpose of the spy in coming to this country was to re-establish com munication between the German spy system here and the German govern ment. which had been impaired by the ability of the American intelligence of ficers to read existing codes, it was reported.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Except for more senate discussion led by Senator Thomas. a Democrat of the military committee, who praised the army's ac- complishments. defended Secretary Baker and opposed the war cabinet bill, there were no moves today in the controversy over war efficiency and organization
 By common consent, further action was postponed until next week. Both the senate and the military committee adjourned until Monday.
 Tomorrow the conference of Repub- lican senators will be held. Republi- can Leader Gallinger today denied that solid party action upon pending legislation is planned.
 Senator Thomas renewed debate in the senate. He asserted the war de- partmelt's record should be praised and that Secretary Bakers statement before the committee was "a story re plete with accomplishments"
 Opposing the war cabinet bill. he de- clared it would add another link to the chain that already binds us" and take away the presidents powers as commander in chief.
 Cnamoeriain Answers During the discussion, Senator Cham berlain, chairman of the military com mittee, replied to criticism from Sen ator Lewis, Democratic whip, regard ing the committees examination of MT Baker. The latter suggested that the secretary should have been called before the committee at first instead of after witnesses had presented at tacks. Senator Chamberlain said the committees procedure followed the ex- press request of the secretary.

WASHINGTON. Feb. $ - Seventy two hours after the British liner Tus- cania laden with American troops and travelling with large convoy, was tOrpedoed and sunk off the Irish coast. the war department tonight still was unable to relieve the anxiety cf rela- tives and friends of those on board by announcing the list of survivors.
 Even an official statement on the circumstances attending the sinking was lacking and official figures still failed to accord with press accounts of the number lost.
 The war department has had no of- ficial report on losses to change the estimate of yesterday. that sl9 persons were missing. iiS Of them being Amer ican soldiers.
 British admiralty figures given to the Associated Press at London to- night show 166 missing. l47 of them American soldiers four officers and l4S men. There were 1l5 American officers and 2.060 men on board the Tuscania and the admiralty reports among the survivors 1lS officers and 1917 men.

 In spite of the realization that the loss was remarkably small considering the number involved. the revised ac- miralty report caused bitter diSap- pOintment Press dispatches last night indicating that the dead might not exceed one hundred had led to the hope that not more than 50 of the sol dierS had perished.
 A cablegram received by the navy department during the day announced that 66 officers and l.214 men Of the army had been landed at Buncrana. Ireland. that 9l soldiers are in hOspi- tals at Londonderry. while 570 officers and men are at lslay This gives total of 2,077 but does not include Inc scattrede survivors unofficially report in ports in Scotland.

Pottery the Oldest Art.

Pottery Is the oldest, the longest and
most widely diffused Of all human arts.
Its history, If recorded, would be as
old as the history of man; its tecord-
ed history begins with the building of
the tower Of Babel. The oldest pot
terry known is Egyptian, but every peo-
pie, civilized or barbarian, has prac-
ticed the art in one or another form.
All study In every department of art
begins at a period not long after the
Mosaic deluge. out pottery is the
earliest Of all forms Of art.

Women Being Trained.
American women camoufleurs are
being trained according to the same
method as the men, under the Wom-
ems League for National Service and
under Lieutenant TOwle. Discussing
their work, he said:
"There isn't any reason why the
women shouldn't do as well as the
men as camOufleurs-that is, in max

isn't heavy work, but 1t demands in

This Is the most serious work that

They will not be accepted by the
government as regular workers and
enlisted for the service until they have
completed their training and shown
that they have made good, but the fact
that Lieutenant Towle is on leave in
order to instruct them is sufficient
proof that their work will be consid-
cred.
No Age Limit for Women.
There Is no age limit, up or down,
for women Joining the corps, but each
member must have had some practical
technical training before she joins.
This keeps from the corps very young
girls. The members are young women
who are self-supporting. They are

sible group. They take three

Each member Of the class makes
and develops her own camoufiage suit,
according to her own ideas, with the
foundation Of instruction that she has
received. Suits as they have been con-
structed by the girls so far are in one
piece. like divers suit, with a hood

ward and on both sides, conceal the
road. To an observer on foot or in
the air at thousand feet the hill
looks deserted-an almost treeless
plain with no distinguishing feature
save a neglected old path. Yet that
hillside harbOrs six dugOuts, several

cannon, machine guns, and net

Beyond Yonkers there are trench

Its barbed wire entanglements and dug
outs. The trenches are dug so deep
that the heads Of the men do not show
above the surface, and the sod re-
moved to dig them is replaced. The
openings Of the dugouts of the
trenches are not, as Is sometimes sup
posed, far behind the trenches. They
are in the trenches with the entrance
on the enemy side. Bombs may fall
In the mouth Of the dugout, but sell
dom inside.
"The obvious is sometimes as good
as the invisible" Lieutenant Towle
said recently. "For instance, the fa.
nous dummy fleet the British used.
Another camouflage to which the Ger
mans were dupes was red cannon,
scantily camOuflaged, placed by the
British at the summit Of q hill. The
cannon was visible to every German
scout flying over it, but it seemed so
obviously fake that not single
enemy bomb was dropped on 1t. Yet
it held its position for long time,
and at night poured it's stream Of fire
into the enemy.
"The same idea is carried out by
the American camoufieurs, who model
dummy men and guns for decoys. The
enemy air scout sees partly camou-
flaged cannon or machine gun with It's
men bending over 1t at work and the
smoke pouring from its nozzle inter
mittently. He cannot see, completely
hidden from view, real cannon whose
men are firing deadly volley from
under cover, and whose ammunition
comes to them through tunnels.
"Such experiments are being made
by the military camoufleurs at Yonk-
ers. There are other tricks to be
learned, for they also do their own
painting Of army equipment before U.s.

army truck may not be entirely invisi-

grounds 1t must pass, it can be mot
tied into very poor target. In mo-
tion 1t will appear as blur caused by
heat rays, for 1t is mottled in the COL
ors whose values constitute colors
which the suns rays would make"
Natural camoufIage Discarded.
At first natural camoufiage was
used almost entirely. A clump of
trees and brush hid whole machine
gun company, group of rocks harbor-
ed listening post, and deserted mill
might hold regiment. But the enemy
has learned that even the "trees and
stones hear" and a natural camou-
flaged refuge Is never safe wholly
from air attack now. The most inno-
cent seeming object Is nevertheless
an object" and therefore a target for
the scout, whereas perfectly smooth
hillside, with no distinguishing marks
may be almost entirely undermined,
and yet not arouse suspicion.
Lieutenant Towle's men learn cam
