him seated in an ordinary day

No private cars for Mr. Taft. He
Is on a purely patriotic mission and
lie uses up no more expense than is
necessary. he says.
When do you think the war will
be won. Mr.. Taft?" was asked
I've got an answer" he replied
1T will take possibly one or two
years for the United States to get
started right in this conflict. and
then probably g year or so to win
and end it up. That is. providing
no other country binders. In los
ing Russia, il hurt The Russian
situation I consider serious. If
Russia turns over its resources to
the enemy it will take a little longer
for US 10 win" he concluded.
Mr. Taft did not utter the word
German" once this noon. He
merely mentioned the enemy"
Just why he didn't cant be said.
Recently Mr. Taft made the state
ment that he considered the draft
Of a much higher standard than the
regular army.
Even though I have a son en-
listed in the regular army, l still
hold TO my previous statement"
Mr. Taft said The draft army is
composed of better physical speci-
mems Of manhood than the regular
army ever will contain 1t is the
cream Of the American manhood.
Don't think that I mean the regular
army is worthless. I consider it as
valuable an asset as the United
States has. but I believe the drafted
men are more fit for service when
they complete their training. and
am not running for Office, either

The Germans again attempted raid
against the American lines, but the
raiders were discovered and the artil-
iery, responding to rocket signals, laid
down heavy barage almost in
stantly.
The Germans path back to their
line was marked by red lines.
During the night machine gun bull
let killed an American private.
Enemy planes flew over the entire
position repeatedly. One American
machine, in dash over an enemy
trench, sprayed it with machine gun
bullets.
For several days the Germans have

RAIL EMBARGO IS LIFTED
McAdoo Believes Further Restrictions
on Commerce Are Not
Necessary.

Washington.-The gigantic task Of
moving vitality needed supplies of food
to the seaboard for shipment abroad
will soon force the National railroad
to further curtailment Of unnecessary
transportation.
Tightening up on passenger traffic,
under consideration by Director-Gen-
eral McAdoo for some time, is ex-
pected.
Other measures to increase facili-
ties for food transportation are being
developed from careful canvass Of
the traffic situation all over the coun.
try.
Food shipments to England. France
and Italy are far behind schedule, ow-
Ing to the unprecedented winter
weather in the east, coal shortage and
rail tie-ups.

Wilson and urged immediate speeding
up Of shipments to American ports.

NEWLIBERTYL0AN IN APRIL
POSTPONED UNTIL NATION BE-
COMES NORMAL AGAIN.
Coal Famine, Labor Troubles, and
Bad Weather Cause Delay In
Arrangements.

Washington, D. c. Subnormal
economic and business conditions,
brought about by variety of unfore-
seen war developments, have caused
postponement of the third liberty loan
until about April l or later.
Originally set for February IL, 1t
was stated on high authority, the is
sue has been held up until restora-
ton of normal conditions bring a
more receptive market"
That the loan, when finally placed
for sale, will bear per cent inter
est, appeared probable, Intense oppo-
sition of large banking interests to
attempting to sell from three to six
billions of bonds, which 1t is expected
the loan will carry, at lower rate, ap-
pears to be forcing the hand Of the
government.
Three causes brought delay in the
loan;
FIRST, the unprecedented trenspor-
tation tieup. Producers unable to
move their products, suffered vast
losses. Congestion of commerce tend
ed toward a general money string
ency.
Second, fuel shortage with a five
days suspension of industry and six
voorhees, Mondays. Labor suffered
heavily in loss Of wages; manufacture
ers suffered; all shippers suffered, as
the right of way was given to coal and
other shipments laid on sidings.
Added to these factors, powerful
elements in the financial world have
brought pressure for higher inter-
est rate than on the second loan.
Many banks have raised their inter
est rate on loans secured by liberty
bonds from 4 to Az per cent.

GUN POWER FAST INCREASING
1853 Heavy Howltzers, 60 Heavy Guns
Captured In Last IL Months,
Under-Secretary Says.

London.-The British captures in
the last year included 1853 heavy how
tiers, IS heavy guns, 437 field guns.
1865 trench mortars and 2,814 ma
chine guns.
This statement was made by James
Ian MACPHERSON, parliamentary I'M
der secretary for war, in introducing
the army estimates In the house Of
commons yesterday.
Mcpherson said that the strength
Of the German army was already far
greater on the western front than at
any previous period, and although the
allies at present are superior in men
and guns, the balance might soon be
In favor of the enemy. British gun
power had increased by almost so
per cent during the last year and
economies would save 100000 ton
mage In the distant theatres Of thu
war this year.
