STEAMERS LOST ON RIVER
Tightening of Ice Jams Upstream Give
Memphis River Men Breath
Ing Spell.

Memphis. Tightening Of the ice
jams upstream from Memphis have
given rivermen here a breathing spell.
The main channel of the river still
was running full Of ice, but there was
not the jam which the day previous
had overflowed the channel and forced
packets, barges and wharfboats from
their mornings.
The Georgia Lee, one of the pref
test packets on the river, was wreck
ed by ice few feet from her consort,
the DeSoto, which had sunk only few
hours before. Both are Lee Line pack
cts.
Their hulls were crushed by heavy
blocks Of ice, and both are deemed by
officials Of the Lee Line to be irrepar-
ably damaged. They are in 10 or IL
feet of water, less than stones throw
out from the government mat fleet
Loss from the two disasters will ex-
coed 100000, rivermen believe.
Majestic and the Ferd Herold, also
Of the Lee Line, now are aground in
about IL feet of water half mile down
the chute behind Presidents island.
Both are in good shape, with crews
aboard and steam up. They are frozen
into large flee. many acres in extent
Probably four feet more of water will
be required before the packets can
steam out.

Mr. MacNamara's announcement

ings in the Mediterranean. A dis
patch from Toxic showed that an at
tempt had been made by hostile sub
marines to attack British transports
conveyed by Japanese warships in
the Mediterranean on Dec. 30. The

was fighting a defensive war.

that Germany and her allies are will

ed by Mr.. Lloyd George, Mr.. Wilson

Mr.. Purdy said peace by negotia-
ton while Germany was occupying
territory of other countries would be
victory for Germany.
The conference is larger in point Of
membership than its predecessors. 1t
is attended by 800 delegates, repre-
senting nearly 100000 members Of
trade unions. The atmosphere was
somewhat electrical as it was believed
that the issues to be raised would
have far-reaching effect on the fu-
ture of the party. The climax was
expected to be reached on a vote as
to whether the labor members would
be called upon to leave the cabinet.
peace, when it comes, must be
general peace, just peace, lasting
peace, that will secure liberty and
freedom for all nations, great and
small; a peace based on the will OF
the people," said Mr.. Purdy. 1T must
be a peace In which labor, nationally
and internationally, may play its part
In order to secure full and fair con-
sideratlon of its claims.
"We appreciate the lofty ideals
which induced the United States to
join the allies"
Whatever might be the view Of the
labor representatives as to the effect
the Russian revolution had exerted on
the course Of the war, the president
said, they welcomed 1t heartily, be-
cause it had released the Russian PEG

FREIGHT EMBARGO

Washington,-An embargo ON all
freight except food, fuel and war mu.
nitions on the Pennsylvania lines east
Of Pittsburg, Baltimore G. Ohio east
OF the Ohio river, and the Philadelphia
& Reading, has been authorized by
Director General McAdoo.
The action was taken on recon-.
mendation of A. H. Smith, assistant
director general in charge of trans.
portation in the east No reference
was made to the recommendation for
an embargo submitted by Fuel Admin
istrator Garfield. The embargo is
temporary and is expected to last
only few days.
The purpose of the embargo is to
enable those lines, which are the
heaviest bituminous coal carriers, to
continue specializing upon coal for
supplying the acute conditions in New
England, the harbor of New York and
elsewhere, and in the provision Of
empty cars for mines and coke ovens,
said the announcement of the railroad
administration.
The practical effect Of this order
will not greatly change conditions of
the last few days, it was stated by
railroad administration officials, since
local embargoes already have been
declared by many eastern railroads.
These have been made on the initia-
tive OF individual roads. In many
cases also, an embargo practically
was in effect because severe weather
conditions prevented railroads from
