"Wky can't we go over and get

"Never thought Of that" replied tAs
others; "we're on"
That night they raided the German
trenches and brought back plenty of
ammunition and mother German ma
chine gun. Next day the guns were
playing on the "Heinies."
"Theyre darned good machine
guns" said one chap enthusiastically
'but the Heinies don't know how to
use them. We do, though. We're get

we'll have to run over to Germany to-

Contract Conference
Opposition From Warfeld
Group Of Security Hold
ers Is Expected

With the return to Washington of
William G. McAdoo, Director General
Of Railroads, important developments
are expected this week in the negotia-
lions involving the formulation of the

ported here yesterday that Mr.. McAdoo
will come to New York this week to

ecutives before he gives his formal ap-
prevail to the contract as now drawn
up.
Although the railway executives ad-
v1sory committee has sanctioned the
contract further opposition is expected
from the Warfield group, representing
the holders Of railroad securities. S.
Davies Warfield, chairman of this
committee, was in conference yester-
day at the Recess Club with members
Of the committee acting for the Invest
ment Bankers Association, which in a
statement issued last week held that
further notifications should be made
In the contract to maintain railroad
credit. Mr.. Warfield left last night for
Washington, where he is expected to
confer with Mr. McAdoo.
The action Of railway issues in yes
terday's stock market suggested that
an early agreement will be reached be-
tween all the factions included in the
parleys that have taken place since the
first tentative draft of uniform con-
tract was made public.

Expect Lading Bill Order
Continuation of Through Bills
Will Protect Shippers
Especial DisDotch IN Tbe r

Especial Dispatch to The Tribun.)
CHICAGO, Aug. 12.-Tt was reported
here to-day that the Railroad Admin
istration would issue Immediately an
order extending for an indefinite period
the use of through export bills of lad
ing, The issuance of through bills
enables manufacturers and jobbers who
make export shipments to negotiate
bills and and put back into circulation
the money thus obtained.
IT the through export bill of ladiny
should be abolished it might cause
chaotic financial and commercial con-
ditions as we'll as cause port CON
gestion. With bills of ladine issued
upon, goods for export only to the port
of shipment, the American manufac-
tturer or shipper would have neither
his goods nor pay for them.
1t was recently stated more than
800 carloads of freight intended for
expectation had been held up at Pacific
ports for more than year by lack of
vessel tonnage, but because of through
bills of lading the Oriental buyers had
already paid for the goods and Ameri-
can shippers were not losers.

A sudden, though not expected,
revival Of interest in railroad stocks
was the outstanding feature of yes
terday's market. The whole group
was unusually active, and prices
moved sharply upward for the first
time in months. The turnover in
railroad shares was, in fact, the
largest recorded in any session this
year, and exceeded the total tran
sactions in the full week preceding.
This outburst of activity undoubt-
eddy was based on the general ex-
pectation of an early settlement Of
the railroad contract controversy,
an expectation that appears to be
we'll founded. The various factions
will soon hold conferences with Di-
rector General McAdoo, at which
all differences will probably be set
tied.

Germany Using Paper
AS in Substitute
Shortage So Serious abandoned
Mines Are Being Worked
For Ore

Among the many things which Ger
many sadly lacks at present is tin.
It's shortage Of this commodity is such
that, according to consular reports
from neighboring countries, paraffin
paper is being used in the Kaiser's
realm in making substitute containers
for condensed milk, preserved fruits,
vegetables and drinking cups. A Ham
burg newspaper published last winter
an article originating from the HAM
burger Chamber of Commerce urging
the whole country to surrender for
national welfare and war purposes all
stocks of tin, copper. brass, nickel and
aluminium.
AS long ago as January 1 the same
newspaper, the "Hamburgischer Core
spondent," stated that the Upper SHE'S
ian tin plate industry was working
under exceptional pressure, being en-
gagged almost exclusively on army or
ders. The article in question states
that q new plant has recently been
erected for the purpose Of remanu
featuring old and scrap tin plate, and
that Upper Silesian tin ore mines.
which were formerly regarded as be-
ing too poor to warrant working, are
now being worked as far as possible,
