LACK OF motive
: POWER BLAMED
FOR CONGESTION

Abnormal traffic and insufficient
motive power on the Pennsylvania,
Baltimore & Ohio and Erie railroads
are mainly responsible for the freight
congestion in eastern territory, ac-
cording to reports today to Director
General McAdoo from Interstate
Commerce Commissioner McChord.
West of Pittsburgh practically the
orly congestion is caused by the in
ability of eastern roads to accept
traffic and move it eastward. A great
quantity of westbound empty cars
consequently are held up by the east
bound movement.
In New England and in districts
about New York hundreds of 1ocome-
tives are disabled and have not been
repaired as promptly as commission
inspectors believe they might have
been. In Boston the New Haven
road is badly crowded with ex-
cess freight, but the Boston
& Albany is in much better condition.
This situation nrompted the sugges-
ton that freight should be re-reuted
over the less congested line.
In Chicago inspectors continue to.
report no serious congestion. and the
Baltimore railroad there is handling

WASHINGTON is
IMPRESSED BY
GEORGE SPEECH

Washington, Jan. premier
Lleyd-George's speech overshadowed
all other developments of the war
today in official and diplomatic Wash
ington and was regarded with the
deepest attention everywhere.
Official expressions were withheld
generally, officials saying they pre-
ferred to examine the full text of
the speech, About the only thing
any of them cared to intimate at the
time was that the premier's speech
seemed to be leading up to the ex-
pected re-dsiaitisn of war aims. 1t
was apparent, however, that officials
sind diplomats alike rea1izing the pre-
mier's speech to be of the deepest
significance and far reaching effect,
desired to reserve any comment until
after mature consideration of it.

date relief will be supplied.
Regarding the proposed action to
bring relief to the poor who are with

said today: ST believe that by such
plan we will be able to render val
liable assistance. It will enable us
to know where surplus coal is held
on hand, and where it can be put to
best USE"

result Of an order issued by the gen.

Of General Pershtng, barring comfort
kits from the personal baggage Of sol
diers going overseas, the Red Cross
has decided to end the distribution Of
these to men in the training camps
The Red Cross, however, will be able
to arrange for the shipment Of large
number Of kits through the regular
freight channels and these will be dis.
tributed through the foreign commits.
sions, as the kits contain number
Of articles which can not be purchased
in Europe.
Red Cross chapters also have been
requested to discontinue the direct
distribution to drafted men Of knitted
articles made from Red Cross mate
rials. The limited supply Of yarn and
the consequent necessity of preventing
duplication makes it advisable that all
knitted articles be distributed by the
Red Cross representatives in the
camps henceforth.

Monks Cowl.

The cowl, or hood, was originally a
covering for the head to protect 1t
from the inclemency Of the weather,
and was worn by all classes without
distinction. Its ready adaptation to
conceal the features led to it's adop-
ton at very early age by monks
and ascetics. AS these multiplied and
formed themselves into various dis
tinct orders, their hoods assumed a
different fashion in cut color and ma
terlal. From the monks it passed to
the cathedral and collegiate churches.
and from them to the universities.
