SOUTHERN ROUTE TO BE USED FOR
 MOVING FREIGHT

Washington, Jan. 30-Plans to re- Heve the traffic congestion on eastern roads and release the freight tied up in New York by diverting foreign freight to southern roads were un- der consideration by the shipping board, the railroad, traffic and food administrations and the shipping council of defense.
 The representatives were summon ed by Chairman Hurley of the ship ping board yesterday and details of the freight congestion on the New York wharves was explained by Mur- ray Hurlbert, commissioner of docks and railroad officials had announced that the traffic tangle on eastern roads aggravated by bad weather, could not be strengthened out before the middle of March. MT. Hurley's plan is to send much of the freight normally moved to New York to Charleston and Savannah.
 Both the railroad and the fuel ad- ministration went forward today with a continuance of unusual measures to keep coal, food and supplies moving to consuming points. Recent bliz- zards, followed by thaws and flood conditions on coal producing sections, made it evident, officials said, that priority given to these commodities would be continued for several weeks

RUHHNIAN DRIVE ON BESSARABIAN
 LINES DEFENDED

London, Jan. 30-The reasons that led to the invasion of Bessarabia by Rumanian troops, one of thB causes of the rupture in relations between Rumania and Russia, are explained by the correspondent of the Times with the Rumanian army, in d1sA batch filed Jan. 22. He says the Bessarabian officials made repeated appeals to the Rumanians to restore order and save private property from looters conditions having been great ly disturbed by the Bolshevig regime. Another and more powerful consider alton was that Bessarabia contained all manner of supplies belonging to Rumania, which the Bolsheviki threatened to destroy.
 To save these stores and maintain communication with Odessa and KieV was. the correspondent says, matter of life or death involving the ques- tion of Rumania's absolute isolation from her allies in western Europe.
 Describing the fight between Rus sians and Rumanians in Galatz, the eorreeron lent says that but for the valor of the Rumanians the town would have been reduced to mass of ruins The Russians attacked the town win great energy on Jan. 21. The Rumanians resisted stuhbornly, but the situation became critical.

GERMAN STRIKE
 TIES UP FORTY
 WAR FACTORIES

London, Jan. SO-While some morning newspapere feature Swiss and Dutch dispatches representing the strikes in Germany as being on a great scale, the Rotterdam core spondent of the Daily News warns against an exaggerated idea of the size and importance of the industrial upheaval. Others papers report that the Uorkmen in 40 war material fac tories in Berlin alone have struck and that many strikes elsewhere have been accompanied by grave disturb ances.
 The Daily News correspondent says that the cessation of work in Berlin apparently was not general in char acter. The central committee of the trade unions intended general strike but according to the latest lnforma- ton reaching the correspondent in Rotterdam this was revoked after the speech made by Dr. Von Kuehlmann. the foreign secretary, with which the labor leaders professed 10 be satis- fled temporarily. The strikes corse- ouentIy were sporadic, thee orrespon- dent says.
 In every case the trade unions made demands very mild in character. The demands were: First, an answer by the German government to the speech made by Premier Lloyd-George to British trade unions.
 Second a statement cn German war aims in the west.
 Third direct representation of the working class interests in the peace re gotiations in proportion to the re- presentation of capitalistic int arests.
 Fourth, no further postponement Of Prussian franchise ref Jrms.

 This cipher message came through from Nauen, Germany, to Sayville, Long Island, at 2 o'clock on the morn- ing of April 29, 1915, and was caught by the operator at a wireless station maintained by the Providence Jour- nal. It was especially interesting be- cause it followed none of the codes which they had previously observed. It was evidently important, because four attempts were made to put it through kefore the German station succeeded in overcoming the unfavor- able static conditions which prevailed that morning. Every attempt to de- cipher it failed. until somebody with 1 a line on the internal activities of the 1 German Embassy remembered that during that morning Prince HatZfeldt of the Embassy Staff, had been look ing for a New York World Almanac The first two words of the message Welt (German for 'WorldD 1915,' supplied the clue.

 A. dramatic touch of suggestion of death in the message lies in the fact that the word not in it is taken from the first sentence of an obituary of the late Joseph Pulitzer, former own CT of the World, which publishes the Almanac" And another grim bit of irony in it-is that the last four words were taken from an advertisement of a well-known marine motor headed ''The Seal of Safety at Sea-"
 Two words of the message are spell ed out in German. They are ''warne," ," which in English is "warn;" and "durch," which means through" The word "Botschaft' is German for 'Em- bassy.' The German Ambassador. immedi- ately after the sinking of the Lusi- tania, declared that the advertisement he had published in the New York papers was inserted on his own re- sponsibility and had no particular ref erence to the Lusitania. As printed, this advertisement mentioned no ship i by name. But the cipher message now reveals the fact that he deliber- ! iately lied, and that Berlin directed the " hole tragedy.
 ] Incidentally Mr Pathon1'c artio1o adds that on the evening after the Lusitania was sunk, when friends Of Von Bernstorff declared that he was overwhelmed with grief and secluded

MINISTER DIES HELPING FLOCK
 IN AIR ATTACK

London, Jan. 30-A large number of the persons killed in Monday nights air raid. according to the Gen. tral News, met their death in build ing the basement of which was used as a shelter. It is believed that two bombs struck the building as the walls were blown out in large sec tions and the floors collapsed.
 One of the touching incidents was the death of a minister who, when ever raid warnings were given, had been in the habit of visiting various shelters. On Monday night he was addressing people who had collected in one shelter when bomb dropped on it, killing the minister and a num- Der of others.
 The success of the British airmen against the German invaders in Monday nights raid has caused dis cussion in some quarters that heavy barrage over London during raid is rather more harmful than helpful. It is said that the air board should give the airmen a clear field in deal ing with the raiders, instead of em- ploying gunfre, which causes dam age to property and some casualties through falling shrapnel.
 The raid appears to have been checked by the combined activity of aeroplanes and anti-aircraft guns, which kept the raiders from the heart of London.
 Conditions for the raid were as fa- vorable as those of Monday night. The sky was clear and there was lit Tar ri pated but little damage done.
 The official statement follows:
 "A number of attacks were deliv- cred against London by hostile aero planes last night, between 10 p. m. and 12:3O D. m., but in no case did the raiders penetrate into the capital. The first enemy machines crossed the Isle of Thanet at 9:2O D. m. and pro- ceeded up the, Thames estuary toward London. but were all turned back by gunfire. At about the same time three or four other raiders crossed the Essex coast. These also failed to penetrate the outer defenses Of the capital.
 Meanwhile a single aeroplane which crossed the Essex coast at 1O:30 p. m. passed around the north and west of London and dropped some bombs on the southwestern out skirts. At the same time another enemy machine dropped bombs on the northeastern outskirts, without causing any casualties or damage.
 "Other aeroplsnes which crossed the Kent and Essex coast betweeu 1925 D. m. and 10:50 D. m. were all turned back by gunfire at various Slaces on the way to London.
 '"The final attack, deiive.ed across Essex by three or four machines be- tween 11:3O D m. and midnight, was equally unsuccessful Bombs were dropped in various places in Ken and Essex.
 "DetaiIed reports of the casualtie: and damage have not been received There were a few casualties in thC southwestern outskirts of London.
 About the same number of ma chimes as on the preceding night ap pear to have participated in the raid viz: Is. A number of our aeroplane went up. Several enga gements witt enemy machines are reported. On' of our pilots attacked a raider ove the northeastern outskirts of London with the result that it dropped it bombs on open ground and made of All our pilots returned safely"

Of what value is milk in helping
us win the war;
Let's get at it this way. Suppose
every person in the United States
should eat no beef for Oae year.
That would greatly increase the
amount Of meat we could send to
the fighters in Europe, wouldn't it?
on the basis Of 1916. il would re-
lease, in round figures. 100000
600 pounds Of beef. That would
help a whole lot in winning the
war. We can accomplish the same
increase. in effect. if we utilize the
human food value OF a milk by
product that we now throw away
or feed TO live stock
The skim milk, left after butter
making in the United states last
year could have been converted in
TO cottage cheese containing 1924
497. 936 pounds of protein. The total
protein in all the beef consumed in
the United States in 1916 was about
953,OOO.OOO pounds.
In other words, we throw away
or feed TO live stock a human food
supply that If properly utilized is
Of more value than all the beef we
eat in a year.
Two things are necessary to cor
rect this waste and direct this po-
tential human food supply to chan
nels that will release more meats
and transportable foods for the
armies in Europe The first is for
farms and creameries TO make cot
tase cheese out of skim milk and
the second is for the people general
~ to eat more cottage cheese.
The greatest opportunities for
the making and using of cottage
cheese are on the farms. because

general distribution OF dairy stock
10 get the farmer who has three or
four or five cows TO add one or two

II is urged that every dairyman

be sure that the cows. if they are
worth more than their feed, are
sold TO another dairyman or TO a

Although milk has advanced in
price the consumer receives an
economical food at prices now pre-
vailing at most places. For il must
be remembered that milk combines
food values in a way nothing else
does. And in considering cost, the
food values must be counted. From
