TO SPEED SHIPPING.
Government Takes Steps to Increase
Facilities for Overseas TranspOrta-
ton.

With a view to speeding the arrival
and departure of ships in American
ports. the government departments
having TO do with overseas transporta-
ton have created a port, terminal and
harbor improvement commission. to
be put in charge of all port facilities
The commissions first aim will be to
so link the railroads and shipping
lines that unnecessary delays will be
eliminated.
Edward F. Carey, director of Oper-
ations for the shipping board. heads
the commission, which has as its
members Benjamin E. Winehell rep
resenting the railroad administration
S. NJ. FELTON,. representing the war de-
partment; Capt. A. c. HodgesOn. rep
resenting the navy; Dr. Edwin F. Gay
Of the war trade board, ]. H. ROssiter
Of the Pacific Mail line. and George S.
Dearborn of the American-Hawaiian
line.
The commission will put into full
operation a system, already started. OF
freight diversion. under which ships
viii load and unload at the less con-
gested ports. The plan calls for an
agreement by which both exports and
imports will be handled through por,s
which will require the least amount OF
railroad transportation.
As a part of the program for util-
izing more fully southern ports, the
commission will be given authority &c

OVER THE TOP.

In this issue We begin Arthur
Guy Empey's thrilling narra-
tive Of his experiences on the
western front Empey is an
Ogden, Utah, boy, who enlisted
in the British army and served
for about two years, during
which time he was a partici-
pant in some of the greatest
battles of the war. He served
in almost every capacity as
common soldier, and his story
perhaps more nearly gives
true picture Of the war than
any that has so far been writ
ten. Empey has a sense Of
humor that relieves the tension
of the readers. The bright
side of soldier life is told along
with its hardships and horrors.
II is a story that will hold the
closest attention almost from
the beginning.

Clear skies have returned to the
battle front in France, and every
where along the American, British
and French sectors there has been
an increase in activity by the
forces which, it is believed, must
soon close in a combat.
Official reports, devoid OF de-
scription as they are. indicate that
Verdun is once more the scene of
heavy artillery actions. but this
may be only preliminary to an
attack on another sector
The American lines near Toul
arc just to the southeast Of Ver-
dun and the continued activity
along this front shows that the
Germans contemplate serious op-
crations there. Raids in force,

been repeated, but German aVla-
