double-berthing OF cars, with ticket

Although there Is no union OF en-

The United States and her allies are

in the charted curve of the iHterna-
1ional shipping situation has been
reached and passed, and the chart
carefully kept by President Wilson
end his closest advisers shows. it was
learned today from high official
source, that the availability Of ships
is now on the increase.
The shipping situation was one OF
the principal topics of discussion at
the last meeting of the war council
as well as OF the Cabinet. and the
shipping chart showed clearly that
the point of availability OF ships was
on the rising curve.
Vessels Handled Better.
This situation is due to improve
ment of handling vessels in the trans
Atlantic trade, particularly in mill
tary transport through lowering Of
the time lost in loading and unload
Ing at French ports. through increased
submarine defense, and consequent
lowering Of the ratio OF sinkings:
through the acquisition OF a number
OF Dutch and other steamers for al
lied trade, and through increase in the
ratio OF construction to destruction.
Administration officials are greatly
hesrtened over this situation. The

after consultation with all OF the
allied authorities. showed when it
was drawn that the lowest depression
probably would be reached late in
