Embargo Declared
For Western Roads
Freight Congestion East 0
Chicago Causes Regional
Director 10 Act
TO Act

CHICAGO, March 11.--An important
embargo in Western territory was an
noAnced to-day by r. H. Ashton, re-
gional director OF railroads. owing TO
congestion on lines east of Chicago.
Between $4,000 and 10000 cars are
tied up at Western gateways because
of the inability Of Eastern roads to re-
ceive them. The embargo will last
until the congestion is cleared.
Until then there will be no loading
OF cars except with commodities made
preferential by the government, such
as coal, coke, zinc, petroleum products,
livestock and food for domestic con-
sumption. The embargo applies to food
for export.
1t is estimated that a week or two
must elapse before the embargo can be
modified

German Living Costs Up
az Per Cent a Year

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE cost
of living in Germany is increasing at
the rate of AZ per cent year, requir-
ing the average German family to go
into debt for the necessaries of life.
According to figures gathered by the
Bureau OF Labor Statistics, average ex-
penditures of families having incomes
ranging from 100 to 200 marks is 222O5
marks.
Rigid economy is practised every
where and the average family spends
New-York tribune., 1918-03-12

in accordance with them And one gun
was made according to this American
design. By this time-that is to say,
two months ago-the Ordnance Bureau
had learned that something was wrong.
The steel manufacturers and the gun
makers are said to have protested
against the improved gun.
The Senate Military Affairs Commit
tee did not learn from General Wheeler
just what the faults in the American
design we're. But it is said that, in the
view of gun experts, the fine simplicity
of the French gun had been sacrificed,
and the resulting gun would not have
stood up under ordinary conditions of
service. Also, it is said that its manu-
facture had been made difficult.
The reorganized Ordnance Bureau
saw the force of the criticisms. The
American design on which months had
been spent was abandoned and orders
were given to the steel manufacturers RS
to produce forgngs according to the
French design. 1t is these forgngs
which will begin to be ready next
month.
Question Of Delay
Is Complicated
The delay caused by these changes
of plans would appear to be nearly six
months, but the question is complicat-
ed by the fact that some "75's" of the
American model will be manufactured,
as it is said that the War Department
intends to use them. The French "75'
was adopted last summer, so that when
the Ordnance Bureau went back to the
French design two months ago, it ap-
parently put gun manufacture back
where it might have been last summer,
except so far as the guns made on the
new American model are available.
There is some disappointment, too.
over the state of the aircraft pro
gramme- 1t has fallen behind sched
ulc, Notwithstanding the fact that a
fortnight or so ago an official announce
ment OF the War Department said that
tho first American airplancs had been
shipped 10 France five months ahead of
the schedule.
The airplanes sent to France at that
time were very small number Of ma
chimes of French design.
AS matter Of fact, the official pro
uuclioh chdTlS snow mat only ABOUT
one-tenth of the number of planes
which the plans provided for the
'spring drive" will be ready on sched-
ule time
The original number which the Allies
were told to expect was cut to one
third about January /, and now it has
had to be cut to about one tenth
The Military Affairs Committee of
the Senate has q good deal of sympathy
with the Aircraft Board, which has
encountered many unexpected difficult
ties in The production Of planes. In
the manufacture of engines, where diff
ficfultes were expected, production is
said to be well advanced.

Big French Gun
Adopted By u S.

After the war broke out the War De-
partment adopted the French "75" in
place Of our 3-inch gun. A weapon of
this size does most OF the fighting of
the war, and the "75" makes up q large
part OF our gun programme.
When the Ordnance Bureau adopted
the "7o" it was not satisfied AS it de-
termined 20 improve the British En-
field rife. SO it decided to improve the
French "75H to beat the French in
making their own wonderful gun. The
French gun has a famous recoil device
The Ordnance Bureau decided that it
should have better recol device and
an improved carriage. 1t spent long
time on the designs for these improve
ments-
Finally the designs were made They
were turned over to the steel manu-
facturers, who should make the forg-
ings IN accordance with them The

America S Big Gums Delayed
BY Errors Senators Are Told
Next Month"; Military Committee Learns ndecson
and Changed Plans Are Blamed
By c. w. Gilbert

"ASHlNGTON, March 1.-THE Mil
'laTy Affairs Committee of the Senate
mas been continuing its Investigation, =,
ana has developed further startling
evidence Of delay in the preparations
for war
OWING TO mistakes made during the
Crozier regime the first final forgings
for the 75-millimetre gun, generally
known as the French "75s," will be
delivered only next month.
Behind the delay in the case of the
'9-ml llllmctre gun lies story of in
decision and changed plans surprising
even that in the case Of the machine
gan and the Enfield rife The situation
came to the attention of the Senate
Military Affairs Committee, which
learned all the facts from General
Wheeler, acting chief of the Ordnance
Bureau OF the army, at a recent exc
cutivc session.
The committee is satisfied that Cen
era' Wheeler is doing all he now can
to set the guns quickly. Responsible
ity for the delay goes back to the ad-
min;strat'on of General Crozier. And
the reason for it lies in the same de-
sire to make better weapons than the
best, which has caused all other delay
IN obtaining arms. In this case the
Ordnance Bureau tried TO improve the
French '75," which is perhaps the most
famous gun of the whole war, and
tried 20 improve it, it is said, in the
very point where the excellence Of the
'15" has been universally conceded.
