Especial Correspondence from Wash
ington,)
WASHINGTON, May 9.--why is Ii
that freight has moved so slowly be-
fore and since the war? Business
men and the ultimate consumer have
protested for years against the delays
In deliveries of commodities and IL
has been stated with truth that the
rising costs OF living We're in part due
to the inability of shippers to get
shipments through within specified
spaces of time.
The conditions were so general that
there arose a universal demand for
more cars. and ''car shortage" was
commonly given as the reason for the
annoying and expensive delays.
Car shortage never WAS the funda.
mental cause. 1t was instead inade-
quate terminals and slow loading and
unloading. in almost all instances.
Susceptible of Proof.
This is easily shown by facts which
the citizen inexpert as to railway tr5lf-
fic regulation and movement may un>
derstand.
The average movement per freight
car per day was "a miles. before the
war. This was one mile an hotIr. Yet
freight trains move from IA to IS
miles an hour. The differ6mce-1S
to II miles an hour-was caused by
time consumed in terminals in hold
ing cars.
Some time must thus be taken. But
the use of thirteen-fourteenths of the
time in terminal delays is on the face
of the matter, enormously in excess
of normal requirements.
Four elements enter into the util-
ization of a freight car: 1. Time
used in loading it by the shipper. q
Time required to move it out from
the terminal. 3. Time consumed in
hauling it to- the destination. 4. Time
that elapses from arrival to its un-
loading and final release by the con-
slgnee.
If. therefore, the time for actual
hauling be one-thirteenth of the time
the car was set apart for that partic
ular shipment it becomes apparent
that it is not shortage of cars, or lack
of engine motive power, but delay in
terminals that has cansed the delay.
Some Illustrations.
In 1915 between Harrisburg and
Altoona, Pa, / saw solid line of
freight cars on the tracks between
three-hour run by a pas
senger express train-and these cars
were waiting to pass the Harrisburg
terminal for movement to seaboard
for export shipment.
Assume that someone sought to
cure that freight glut by adding cars
and engines to the Pennsylvania
railways freight service on that di-
vision. Assue that 1000 cars and
a thousand engines had been placed
on the tracks and in the terminals
westward from Altoona. The con-
gestion from there to Harrisburg
would not have been helped, but
made worse.
If the cars already in commission
on the division could not be moved
east. 1t is obvious to the tyro that 10O.-
900 more cars could not be moved
through.

A WAR MESSAGE FROM THE
NORTHWEST

(By Gov. Stewart, of Montana)
o. O long as this Nation is
confronted by a resource.
full and desperate enemy
agitation and settlement of do
mestic problems, save only in so
far as they concern the success
full and vigorous prosecution of
the war for liberty, should be
held in allegiance until peace is
declared.
No thinking man will deny
that there are problems clam
Oring for. solution, but now is
not the time for exhausting our
energies by internal contro-
versy while the enemy batters
at our gates.
OF what concern is it to US
what political party or econo-
mic system prevails, when if
we lose the war we shall3have
nothing to say as to how we will
be governed?
German propagandists, while
spreading lies as to conditions
in our army and navy and con-
cerning the work of our public
men, are many times unconsci-
ously aided by persons who
have reforms which they be-
lieve. would remedy the evils of
which they complain. The re-
forms may have merit, but they
may well wait, so long as upon
their solution the winning of
the war does not depend, until
this Nation has ceased fighting
for its very existence.
1t is time that Americans, no
matter what their ideas of re-
form, religion, or politics may
be, join hands to scotch treason,

CLEVELAND, Ohio, May a.
When the war Is over one German sol

garden in Cleveland. Miss Evangel-
inc Bishop, 1857 E. 11Sth street, is
responsible for it.
AS director of neighborhood service
at Rice school Buckeye road $. f..

AMERICA WILL WIN THE
WAR

n MERICA has more than &
IA half million men now il
France according to an.
nouncement by Secretary Ba-
ker yesterday. 1t is known
that we are sending men at the
rate of about 100000 a month.
Through the selective service
law we have the facilities for
keeping this stream of men
pouring into Europe indefini-
tely.
We are making machine
guns at the rate of 500 a day.
We are carrying out the great
est airplane making program
of any belligerent nation. This
work is now under criticism,
there may be some room for
criticism, but confidence in Am
erican ways and methods of
manufacture justify the belief
that on the airplane subject as
in other lines, we will meet re-
Iquirements.
The United States war wag-
ing efforts are proceeding on a
gigantic scale. We are past
the preparatory stage. We
are delivering the goods as is
shown by the fact we have
100000 soldiers abroad, thou
sands of them in the fighting
line. Our navy is protecting
our shipping with such success
that for effective purposes the
submarine has been robbed of
its terror.
In other words the United
States is every day becoming a
greater and greater factor in
the war. 1t is the factor that is
going to bring victory to the
allied cause. This is as certain
as the sunshine.
We are going to make the
world safe for democracy.

Although the features of Miss In
