PERMITS TO SHIP GRAIN NOW
Railroad Administration Hopes to
Avoid Congestion at Terminals
by Regulating the Traffic.

Washington. Sept. 49, Railroad
grain shipments hereafter will be reg
ulated jointly by, the Railroad and
Food administrations through a sys-
TEN involving issuance of shipping
permits by committees in different
grain zones.
In announcing the new plan today,
the Railroad Administration explained
that if unrestricted grain shipments
were to continue, the result would be
use Of cars and tracks for storage,
congestion Of terminals and withdraw
al of cars from other transportation
needs. The local committee will con-
sist of representatives of the Food Ad-
ministration and railroad men.
The Railroad Administration report
ed that rs per cent OF winter wheat
has moved from the farms while
spring wheat and oats are Just begin
ming to move. OF the total wheat
crop, it is estimated about As per
cent already has reached markets,
which is in excess of the average for
this time OF year.

A GRAIN EMBARGO IN EFFECT
Kansas City, Omaha amidst. Louis In
List Named by the Railroad
Administration.

Kansas City, Sept. IA grain en-
barge was placed on Kansas City as
well as upon Omaha, st. Joseph and
st. Louis yesterday by the national
railroad administration. 1t will ex-
tend to Chicago, Milwaukee, Mime
apoIis and st. Paul today The pur-
pose is to free the railroad yards and
leave in the country the wheat that
is not needed now. 4 lack Of men to
unload cars has been the chief cause
of terminal congestion, and the en-
barge will enable the dealers to clean
up the grain in transit
An effort is on foot to release the
embargo on other grain than wheat,
but with the European Allies present
wheat needs supplied, ships are being
used for other transportation needs.
Kansas City elevators have a capacity
for two-thirds more than the 1000, 900
bushels Of grain now stored here, but
under the government management
later date is desirable for moving and
storing the crop.
The last day before the embargo
Kansas City received 436 cars of
wheat, IS of oats and 1O8 of corn. The
food administration grain corporation
controls a large share of the wheat
now held in local elevators.

vides for $3.50, 100000 to be loaned to

WILSON REJECTS PEACE PLEA
Proposal From Austria for Discussion
Of Terms by 8eliigerents Prompt
Iy Turned Down by President

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE United
conditionalIy rejected Germany's
peace feeler. In doing SO, the govern
ment has spoken for all the co-beIIg-
erents.
Almost Immediately after receiving
the Austrian governments note from
the minister from Sweden, Mr.. Eken-
gren, Secretary Lansing tonight issued
this formal statement:
Il am authorized by the President
to state that the following will be tie
reply Of this government TO the Aus
trO-Hungarian note proposing an IN
official conference of belligerents:
The government of the United
States feels that there is only one re-
ply which IL can make to the sugges-
ton of the imperial Austro-HungaTian
government. 1t has repeatedly and
with entire candor, stated the terms
upon which the United States would
consider peace, and can and viii en-
terrain no proposal for a conference
upon a matter concerning which it has
made its position and purpose so
plain"
Mr.. Lansing's statement was given
out within half an hour after he had
received the Austrian proposal. It
would have been forthcoming almost
Immediately upon the delivery of the
Austrian note had 1t not been found
necessary, in order to avoid the pos
sibility of grave error, to make care
full comparison between the official
text and that which was received in
rews dispatches last night from Am
steTdam.
Thus, emphasis was added to the
declination, if any were needed, the
quickness Of the reply indicating the
existence Of no shadow Of doubt in
the mind OF the administration as TO
what it should be- As soon as Mr.
Lansing's reply can be put in form
it viii be handed to the Swedish min
lister for transmission to Austria
The Swedish legation notified the
State Department early in the after
noon that it had received the note and
that il would be presented as soon as
it could be decided and translated
from the French This consumed sew
era1 hours and il was not until $40
O'Clock that Mr.. Ekengren appeared.
He remained with the secretary only
two minutes.
