Effect Is Widespread

The effect Of this delayed movement
has hetn many fold:
"Ffrst-To ieopardize the safety OF a
great deal of the soft corn and perish
ables such as potatoes.
"Second-The structure inflow of distri-
button has entirely disturbed the price
conditions III the country by practically
s~uspenGing the law Of supply and de-
nand. The margins between the farmer
and the consumer in many commodities
were never wider than they are today
because the consuming trades are under
supplied and the farmers comDete for
transportation. Prices of the coarse
grains have reached unheard OF levels,
while the limited transportation las a.
unfinished the farmers returns.
"~Third-The cost of grains for teedin.
livestock has so increased to the feeders
OF finished cattle that they face serious
losses. The costs OF the Gairying indus
ules nave necessarily greatly increased.
'tourth-Through the large consum-
ing areas we have been living off re-
serves through the period OF scant sup
plleS. These reserves are in many sec
Sald dSltpH.
"Fifth-We have been unable tc
transport to scaboard the necessary
food stntfs for the allies. This has not
been due 50 much to the actual ina
bllty or the railways giving priority
TO foodstuffs for allied shipping as it
has peen TO bringing products from the
farms to the terminal markets. where
it can be aggregated, prepared and
purchased by the allies.
The economic ramitications of this
whole delay in the movement of the
national harvest are almost countless
and they present the most critical of
situations. Of which no solution exists
but a continued expansion Of the ef-
forts OF the railway administration III
the movement of foodstuffs in every
direction to the exclusion Of much 9TH
er of the n Consider
able progress has been made in the
last ~ days, but continued rises in the
price of cereal commodities and the
failure to secure sufficient surplus
over immediate domestic consumption
to feed the allies are evidence that
there still is q deficiency in food cars
and that they need be still further in
creased.
Quick Loading Demanded
Comparison Of the movement from
day to day during the last few days
with those of similar periods last wear
reject the efforts made by the rail-
way directors. There is. however. a
long accumulation to be got over
within SO days. The situation calls for
every cooperation Of the public
through the quick loading of cars, load
ing them TO capacity and discharg-
ing them quickly and in every way re-
ducing the tax on railways. Co-opera-
ton can be given by reducing the con
sumption Of foodstuffs by the consump-
ION Of home and local stores to the eX-
1!ui-ion SO far as may be transported
articles. If every interest co-operated
we shall supply h allies n remedy

mestic supplies. for our farms are fun
Of foodstuffs.
40 effort is being spared to move
allied food as fast as it can be accu-
INFLATED in the interior and today the
railway directorate is arranging spe-
c.aI trains to carry meat mo packing

ASTRIDE PLANE UPSIDE
DOWN; RIDES TO EARTH

LoEdon.-A British airman.
while flying at a height of 1000
feet, had the tail of his machine
shot off by a direct hit from a
shell. The machine turned up-
side down and the pilot was
thrown from his seat, but he
managed to Chamber onto the
bottom Of the fusilage, on which
he remained aStride.
Although the machine was
out of control, he managed, by
moving forward and backward,
to balance it and glide steadily
downward. Under strong
anti-aircraft fire he crossed the
German lines successfully a few
hundred feet from the ground.
His machine came down with a
crash and he received some in
juries, but will recover.

Roamer to Attack
Record Wednesday

Saratoga, N. Y, Aug. 19-Although
the racing here last week was the best
of the season it promises to be still
better during the next few days. A
stake is on each days program and
scores of good horses have been nomi-
mated.
Today is Red Cross day and the
Saratoga Association has added a
handicap at one mile to it's card. 1t
will be known as the Red Cross Han
dicap and will be decided before the
Mohawk Stake is run. On Tuesday
the Grab Bag Handicap for two-year-
olds will be the feature and on We'd
nesday Andrew Miller's Roamer will
race against time in an effort to break
the American one mile record of
1851 established by the immortal
Salvatore more than a score of years
ago.
Roamer will be paced during the
last part of the trial by r. W. Goes
great sprinter Polymelian. If the
track is fast the record is likely to
topple, for Roamer is at his best. In
trial Saturday morning he breezed
mile in 1888 and was fighting for
| his head from beginning to end. So
impressive was his work that those
who saw It are confident he will beat
| Salvator's mark and come close to the
worlds mark of 1888 3-5, made in
England several years ago.
Three records were beaten last
week and twice that many are likely
| to fall before the host of thorough
| breds which will measure strides this

to "the retreat of the enemy" mail

From the names, it can easily be seen
that the territory was formerly under
German rule, but without doubt these
names will be changed when the ter

VictOrs on Links

derson and Oswald Kirby, represent
ing Siwanoy and Englewood respec-
lively, defeated Jerome Travers and
Max Marston, up and 3 to play in
an exhibition golf match at the Dun
woodie Country club yesterday after
noon. This squared accounts for the
defeat at the first named pair re-
ceived at Wykagyl on Saturday, when
the New Jersey representatives were
the victors.
The exhibition was the second of a
series in the aid of the homecoming
wounded and a much better financial
showing was made, $1,000 being raised.
A considerable portion of the money
realized was due to auchoneering, Hal
F'orde officiating. He had such a per-
suasive way that golfers gave freely.
