Laura went to the dance hall alone.
and a little later than the other girls,
for she wanted to see what the general
impression of her fashioned dress
on all who were there would be.
She removed her wraps in the Dress

from her forehead. threw a pale pink
scarf over her shoulders, arranged her
flowers In her belt and went into the
dance hall
The boys and girls were all talking
at once, asking this. that and the other

upon her. filled with admiration and

Roy broke the silence by walking up
to Laura, Slipping her hand through
his arm. and turning to his friends said :
Friends. meet Miss 1861" They all
broke into a laugh. and as the or

Laura and Roy had the first dance

after. including the last waltz. after

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 30-Arrange-
ments, it is announced here, have al
ready been made with the Washington
authorities to divert part of the freight
to this port from New York for ship
ment abroad. George S. Webster, di-
rector Of wharves, docks and ferries in
this city, had conference in Washing
ton yesterday with Edward L. Garry,
director Of operations Of the United
States Shipping Board Mr.. Webster
says that he was assured that the ia
cilities Of this port would be more fully
utilized hereafter.
Mr.. Webster added
81 met Mr.. Garry and his assistant,
Mr. Ewing, by appointment, and laid
before them the facts regarding the
shipping facilities OF Philadelphia.
Figures we're presented by mo showing
that these facilities were not being
used to the extent OF which they were
capable.
better prepared than any other at the
present time to relieve congestion. 1t
has the added advantage of being close
to the large manufacturing industries
Of Pennsylvania. and it is our view IN
Philadelphia that goods manufactured
in what we call the Philadelphia and
Pennsylvania area should be shipped
through the port Of Philadelphia.
"The unusual facilities which I
brought to the attention of tho officials
OF the shipping board arc due to the
fact that our piers are reached BY all
of the great trunk railways-the Penn
sylvania, the Baltimore 6, Ohio and
the Reading. Tracks being laid direct
ly on the decks OF the piers, cargoes
can bc loaded directly from the cars to
the ships. Thus there is no expensive
lighteragc system. such as Is found IN
Nau, NOrl, y
New-York tribune., 1918-01-31

route freight as to get II quickly to
Southern posts. Charleston and Sa-
vannah will bo tho ports through which
most Of the freight diverted from New
York will be moved. All cotton and
other products coming from the South
will 60 largely through these ports, and
no more will be shipped to New York
to be stored until ship space can be
obtained for it's transportation. Food
stuffs to a large extent Will be sent out
of Gulf ports.
Under the plan tentatively adopted
by the conference to-day, materials will
be sent to ports in which there is no
congestion and in which an abundance
of bunker coal may be obtained. Ships,
before leaving the other side, will bo
directed to proceed to the ports at which
goods which should be moved most
promptly are awaiting shipment. Thus
II mightturn out that II British ship
is carrying American materials, while
an American ship is transporting Brit
ish goods.
An effort will be made to bring about
a maximum efficiency in unloading or
the other side of the Atlantic, and Mr..
Stevens and Mr.. Rublec will address
themselves to this, problem.
The arrangement does not displace
the Shipping Boards director Of op-
erations, Edward +. Garry, but the con-
troll committee will be in supreme
charge. Mr. Carry's department will
deal solely with Shipping Board ships
and will turn vessels as soon as char
tered over to the committee.

More Storms Block
Coal and Railroad
Relief i'm the East

WASHINGTON, jar. 30.--Large Sec
tions Of the East face n coal famine
within the next few days, as result
Of further hampering Of railroad
transportation by to-day's snow and ice
storms. Reports reaching the rail-
road and fuel administrations to-
night showed New England, parts of
Pennsylvania and districts along the
ton, and there were indications that
many industries would be forced to
stop operations fo~ a few days for
lack Of fuel,
Already the railroad administration
has done all possible to meet tho cmer
gency. it is said, and developments
must depend almost entirely on weather
conditions. Forecasts of these gave
no basis Of hope, FOR snow was prom
ised for most OF the country east Of
the Mississippi tomorrow.
No new orders for general indus
trial shutdown arc planned by the fuel
administration, but the preferential
treatment Of coal shipments for do
sential industries will continue. An
extension of the freight embargo might
be considered by the railroad adminis-
tration to assist railroads to move coal,
it was explained, except for the TACT
that very little general freight is now
being accepted for Eastward movement
by any lines.
Reports to Director General McAdoo
indicated that the Wcstbound move
ment of freight to-day was nearly 10
per cent under that Of yesterday Most
Of this was coal. Tho return movement
Of empty coal cars to mining districts
was sligtly better, except in West Nir-
einia, Kentucky and Virginia, where
foods still restricted transportation
seriously. Flods in the remainder Of
the country, which had been feared
yesterday, were postponed by continu-
ing cold weather.
The plight of New England was dis
cussed with Mr. McAdoo by Fuel Ad-
ministrator Garfield and J. ]. Storrow,
fuel administrator for that section.
Mr.. McAdoo promised to rush the rail
movement of coal to tho Northeast,
and said he believed the supply would
bo sufficient to prevent a general sus-
pension Of industries.
Mr. Storrow was not 80 hopeful. He
explained that the interference with
the hauling Of coal from Hampton
Roads by vessel, because Of the pref
erence given government ships held
LlCIC lOE COdAlllS, tldu NQl -\NN \
lands normal supply from that source
to almost nothing in the last few days
Arrangements have been made to start
the movement again.
More moderate weather at Hampton
Roads the last few days has helped
thaw coal formerly frozen in cars and
assisted the dumping and coaling Of
vessels.
Weather conditions and railroad con-
gestion have interfered seriously with
shipbuilding activities, according to re-
ports to-day to the Shipping Board
Deep snow has made it impossible for
men to keep at work. In addition, the
freight congestion has curtailed the
supply Of materials to great extent
and some shipyards arc entirely with
out materials.
The new zone system Of distributing
coal will be put into effect next week
but officials do not believe that it will
effect much saving Of handling at first.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 30.--It has been
no secret in commercial circles here
that there has been some overseas
traffic recently diverted from New York
TO Baltimore. Norfolk and Newport
News also have shared in the transfer
Of shipments from Northern ports. The
railroad terminals in this city have
been jammed with freight for ship
ment. All available warehouse and
storage facilities have been overcrowd-
ed. The ice blockade of the past month
has necessitatcd the dispatch Of bat
tloship to the port TO break the ice in
tho channel and release from week to
week fleets of vessels bound for Eng
River and the immense quantities Of
floating ice in the Chesapeake Bay have
greatly delayed foreign bound ships.
The extent Of the transfer CT traffic
TO this port is shown in the report the
past year Of the Custom House. In the
twelve months the exports increased
1853, 9,1l9,557 i'll value, largely foodstuffs
ana metals. Whila the value oe the
exports increased the foreign trade
clearances fell Off 2A3 vessels, with an
aggregate tonnage of 49O,Ss3. In 1916
there we're l ATS vessels, with an aggrc-
gate tonnage Of 3,319 .266, cleared, and
in 1917 but 1885 vessels, with an ag-
gregate tonnage of 2,S28,386. The fig

J. 5. AvIAT0RS ONITALIAN FRONT
 EAGER TO FIGHT

Italian Army Headquarters, Sun day, July 7-By- the Associated Press)-The Italian commandant un- der whose direction the American fliers are working on the Italian front has only one fault to find with them, They never want to remaiy on the ground. Regardless of the weather, the fierceness of the barrage or the vigilant enemy chasers they want to be after the enemy in the air.
 The exploits which brought five of the american airmen decorations cannot yet be published, but the value of their services may be judg- ed from the fact that King Victor Emmanuel travelled to- the section held by the Americans to make the presentation personally.
 Recently Lieut.. Alexander O. Craig of New York, while flying over Aus. trian territory, was attacked by a chaser plane. He shot the attacker dead and sent his plane to the ground in flames. On his way back over the Austrian lines after deep raid into enemy territory the plane of Lieut.. Harry L. Holtz of Busby, Idaho. was struck by a burst of shrapnel from anti-aircraft guns. The damage was repaired in midair, Lieut.. Holtz directing the hazardous undertaking of his mechanic.
