Shipping Machine Fashioned in America by Sir Common
Guthrie; Model the United States
Should Use
By Theodore M. Knappen

Tho consolidation Of Allied shipping
and its correlation with the purchas-
;nc agencies, the shippers and tho
American railways is one of tho efti-
,ency marvels of tho war. Railway
men everywhere sre loud in their praise
4 the efficient and thoroughly unified
mschine that Sir Connop Guthrie, rep
-ssentins he British Ministry Of
apping. has built UP in this country
N connection with the Allied traffic
executive
Traffic experts say that this mohili-
,ation of the shipping of the Allies
and its articulation to their traffic on
>. our railways is not less than perfect.
They are unanimous in the opinion
that if it had not been for this cxtraor-
dinary traffic mechanism the conges-
ion Of the railways and the ports
would be far worse than it is.
When the railways last December.
j. seeking to do what the government had
not done-establish some system of
order in exports created the North
Atlantic Ports Committee. the latter
found that so far as the Allies we're
concerned it had at hand perfected
machine ready and eager for full CO.
operation. The two organizations fit
+ ;nto each other as the hand to the
glove.

1t was the "Here we are" meeting
for women voters last night at the
monthly meeting of the Republican
County Committee In honor of the
entrance of women into practical poll
tics, Samuel Koenig, county chairman,
was all dressed up in his "best" and
somebody had ordered all the historic
floors Of Bryant Hall swept clean. An
air Of extreme propriety pervaded the
gathering, SO that even the cigars ex-
hailed but faint blur of smoke, be-
hind which the broad grins of the Re.
publican chiefs were easily discernible
to the sisters as they entered tmidly.
But they entered-yes, indeed. Some
thirty or forty women-those who are
in line for office as district leaders Of
the women's Republican organization
and those upon whom the Republicans
are casting wooing glances-had ac.
ceptcd the County Committees invita-
tion and sat through it all.
Miss Helen Varick Boswell, chairman
of the women's organization committee
of the Republican County Committee,
was led to the platform and introduced

by Mr.. Koenig, as the "dual boss" of

"Boss" Boswell gave away few Of
the feminine ideals for politics.
"You men of New York County have

smiled, Sin the way Of getting out the

the women can help. We won't

where women are organizing. You'd
be surprised to see how many men
showed up when we had choco 'ate cake,
that some Of the women brought from
home, and real pink ice cream, and the
reddcst apples you ever saw. They
actually got to dancing before they
went home.
"'The women are going to popularize
the Republican party. You'd know it
has sometimes been called the exclusive
party here in New York, but VIC are
going to change that We are not go
ing to be satisfied to double the Repub-
lican vote, merely by voting as our
husbands and fathers do; we are go
ing out and do more than our share
toward piling up Republican majority
in state and nation"
The business session of the county
committee meeting was devoted to the
passage of a resolution asking that
the enforcement OF the fuel orders be
postponed for ten days.

Every AGILITY
Is Being Put to Use

All ports, all railways. all traffic ia
cilities are utilized to the end of has
tening shipments, avoiding confusion
and preventing congestion
With all due credit to Sir Connop
Guthrie. and he is deserving Of much
it is worthy of note that the organiza-
ton has been built up and is admins
tered by American railway men
Why net have them build similar
machine for the United States? Gen
eral Goethals has started to have rail-
way men build up traffic bureau for
the quartermaster's department, and
it is now said that it will be charged
with handling the traffic of all army
bureaus
That is good, but does it so far
enough? What about commercial ex-
ports? What about shipping? What
about the traffic department of the
director general of railways? In a
word, what about complete unity? And
how long is it to be before the govern
ment shall stop sending stuff to the
seaboard to incumber cars and yards
without regard to shipping facilities?
That will be just so long as this gov
crnnlent does not have the control and
direction of military and commercial
export traffic in one executive head.
1t could be done in twenty-four
hours

As the ships come up from the sea
and the goods come down from the in
tsrlor they meet with marvellous ac-
curacy. A central traffic head is aware
Of all consi gnments and OF their dcs-
inaton and has directed their route
and named their port to correspond

This efficiency organization does
nothing by guess OF by chance Moth

tory or warehouse in any part of the
United States on its long journey to
Europe unless the all-informcd head in
New York knows that the shipment

ships will be waiting for it,
The Allied traffic executive lays out
its work month ahead. 1t knows ex-
actly how much tonnage it will have

German lady spy who is taking the
stolen paper straight to U-boat,

1t is mere child's play for the adept
spies to nab the papers, but H. Cooper
Clitfe, as Colonel George Sharrow,
proves equally astute, only it would
not do at all for him to arrest the
spies prematurely, with like effect
