IMPORTS TO BE REDUCED
AS PART OF PROGRAM
Million and Half Tons Freight
at Docks Now Awaits
Shipping Facilities

Washington, Feb. GA sweeping
move to force neutral shipping into ser
vice almost exclusively between the
United States and the allied nations is
under consideration by this government.
President Wilson is expected soon
to announce the creation of new inn
ports board " designed to save tonnage
by eliminating unnecessary imports I'M
to the United States.
The proposal which has been laid be-
fore the president provides for board
of probably four members-a represent
tative each of the shipping board, war
industries board and war trade board,
and fourth man not associated with
any of these departments.
By forming the board, it is expected
to reduce greatly imports now carried
by neutrals to this country ana auCo-
matically throw those ships into needed
service between the United States and
the allied countries
The use of neutral ships in shipping
supplies from this country to France is
now absolutely necessary, 1t is stated.
Cold weather has cut ship construction
sixty per cent, Chairman Hurley of the
shipping board told President Wilson
yesterday. If America is to land nao-
900 in France, approximately 100000
tons of shipping will be NECESSARY 10
transport and supply them.
BY restricting the imports into this
country from fifty to sixty per cent the
deficit threatened in American ship
building through extreme weather ALL
rail tieups could be made up, it is be-
lieved, by neutral vessels turning their
tonnage ro allied shipping instead OF
imports for the United States.
The allied demands for more men
and more food, once more have brought
the ship shortage forward as the most
critical problem before this government.
With approximately 2,500000 tons of
shipping now available for war service
conservative estimates of three million
tons to be built this year win provide
only 5,500,000 tons by the end of 1918,
against the needed 100000 tons-and
this does not figure in probable subnar-
inc losses.
Meantime 100000 tons of freight at
American ports, awaiting shipment, is
causing great anxiety, particularly in
France.
1t is pointed out that in the face OF
this great need, steps must be taken
beyond the "speed up" shipbuilding

PREPARE FOR
TREMENDOUS ASSAULT OF
GREAT GERMAN FORCES

Washington, Feb. 6.-Under almost
ceaseless fire from the German guns,
American troops holding section of
the battle front in Lorraine are pre-
pairing for a German assault of great
magnitude.
The reported raids against American
lines since discovery of Pershing IS
troops in front line trenches about jan
uary 20, indicate, military men believe
that the Germans are testing out the
strength of the force preliminary to a
heavy assault.
Successive German raids on January
20, 81 and %, apparently launched to
identify troops in the American section,
resulted in five Americans being killed
and ten wounded. There followed per-
iod of several days pause, presumably
while reports of results were forwarded
to German general headquarters. During
this cessation from attack, heavy fire
was dropped continuously upon the Am
erican trenches.
Then, on January 81, the assaults
were resumed, in greater violence and
with heavier artillery and barrage fire
preparation, three Americans being kill
ed and 16 wounded in action during the
ensuing days.
All of the German war weapons were
thrown into this fire-gas shells includ-
led-with the evident intention of test
ling the American nerve under stress.
Every raid was repulsed by the Am.
ericans and the barrage was answered
gun for gun. Through the mists that
hang over No Mans Land there will
be ever increasing numbers Of Amer
leans thrown into the battle against the

ficers and men-rather impatient at
the w9ll-meant propaganda of the Pur.
pie Cross.
The working plan is understood to be
this: To provide corps of men,
physically unfit for fighting but brave
enough to face shell-fire, who will col
lect the dead from hell-swept battle
fields and from No-Man's Land. To
enbalm the bodies and send them home
without cost to the individual families.
1t is understood that the Purple
Gross wants either government sub
sidy or permission to raise rund sucn
as the Y. M. G. A. fund. Also the
organization wants official army rank
for its officers.
The subsidy or fund and the rank for
officers would come anyway if the big
plan of the Purple Cross were recog-
nized But the scheme looks like a
loser if sentiment among the people
most concerned in its operation will
have any weight in the matter.
First of all it is a terrible task to
collect and evacuate the suffering
wounded. In the British army the
Medical Corps stretcher bearers have a
greater per cent casualties than any
other branch.
1t would be a waste of splendid man
power to expose such brave men tc
such a great danger in order to col
lect men to do the work at ALL And
if they're strong enough, armed with
their unselfish courage, why shouldn 7
they bring in the living who still have
chance to pull throughl 1t may
sound callous, but in the military mind
such labor as the Purple Cross wants
to perform is regarded as unnecessary
From a sentimental standpoint the
idea doesn't appeal to our soldiers al
all.
A Toledo boy-gas expert now
ciYilian three months ago-summed uT
the soldiers view of the sentiments in
vOlved. Said he:
"Anyway, l don t want to be sent
home il anything happens to me. Bury
me where l fall. 1t will be a blow tc
my mother but she will always be
proud of me and that pride win help
her to get over the shock.
Now, if that's the case, why
should someone carry me home after
about six weeks and make my mother
go through it all againf"

Washington, Feb. 6.-The national
railroad faces its greatest crisis of the
winter in the east today. Renewed
heavy SHOWS and bitter cold sweeping

the great transportation system to the

These conditions resulted in contin-

it had been hoped could be revoked this

of further "shut down" holidays, with
February 9-12 and February 1925, the
four day periods for closing under con-
sideration.
Many communities are suffering Sc.
verely. Reports Of no coal on hand and
no possibility of moving any were re-
ceived from several points today. Many
industries are actually closing for lack
of fuel. The rail tieup in some parts
is threatening the food as well as the
coal supply.

SANNIES TRAPPED
BY BARRAGE FIRE
Sudden Call For Artillery
Came Near Sacrificing
Patrol at Front
By j. w. Pegler

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
With the American Army in France,
Feb. 5.-(Delayed) Facing death from
their own artillery, a handful of Sam
mics, trapped by an American barrage
near the boche trenches last night, dash
ed through the rain of shells back to
the safety of the American lines.
1t is sometimes necessary to risk sac
rificing few to save many. On Mon
day night the handful Of Sammies, form
ing patrol was investigating the dam
age done to the German trench wires by
Sunday nights bombardment. An Am
erican rocket signal from an adjacent
sector suddenly called for a barrage, The
rain of death started Immediately. The
little patrol was up against 1.-THE men
facing death from their own shells. They
resolved to make dash for safety.
Spreading out in open formation, they
gradually made their way back to their
own trenches through their own bar
rage, taking refuge from the explosions
in shell holes and depressions in No
Man IS land.
Dodging, ducking and making short
rushes across the shell swept terrain,
the Americans finally reached their own
lines and leaped over their parapets.
