Agreement Between Transfers

Conditions in the wholesale produce

over the settlement of the strike which

During the period OF the strike hun

consigned to New York were diverted TO
other cities. Embargoes on shipmen ts
here were raised yesterday, and again
carloads OF foodstuffs were started TO-
ward this market. During the day hfty-
four cars or California cantalopes were
unloaded. making unusually heavy re-
ceipts FOR a single day. Strawberries
and other small fruits were not in good

There have been many estimates az TO

cretary Of the National League of Com

French said
IT feel that the shippers or owners
were fortunate in the ability OF the
trade to shut off the flow to New York
through the prompt action Of the Rail-
road Administration, in diverting sup
plies to other markets. Under the cir
cumstances It Is impossible to forecast
the monetary loss resulting either from
deterioration or the difference In prices
by reason Of being enforced to use other
markets"
Mr.. French added he feels that con-
sidering the heavy movement of fruit
and vegetables from the South II WAS
particularly fortunate the situation had
been met with no greater interruption
of traffic and consequent loss.

 New York, February S.-War work ot the Young Mems Christian association in the United States. France and other allied countries, which he said had frightened the existence of millions of soldiers and saved the lives of many hundred thousand others, was reviewed here today by John R. Mott, head of the associations war work council. who con- trasted the magnitude of the service rendered" with recent criticism of one or two of it's phases.
 Declaring his address before the league for political education was neither- de- to critics pr. Mott said the organiza- tion welcomed criticism provided it was definite, constructive and fair. with a willingness on the part of the complain ant to give the association the benefit of doubt pending an investigation of his charges. and to tell at the same time the good things he knows about the organization"
 There had been practically no criticism, pr. Mott stated. of the associations g work with the army ana navy on this side of the Atlantic where more than 4000 secretaries served soldiers and sail ors in 1000 buildings and tents. Its ef- forts for the French and Italian armies, he added, had prompted the governments of those countries to invite an extension of the service while nothing but praise had been heard of the 'Y' work in Czecho-Slovakia, Palestine, Macedonia and in the Gallipoli campaign.

ERROR IN REPORT
 LESTER TESTIMONY
Dickinson Severed COnnec- ton With Viereck Before
 U. s. Entered War
By Associated Press

Washington, February S.--Printing of the official transcript of testimony of Capt E. C. Lester of the army Intel- Hgence service before the Senate com n.ittee Investigating German propa ganda has disclosed an error in the Associa ted Press reports of statements by Captain Lester regarding the employment of J. J. Dickinson in Washington by George Sylvester Niereck before the United States CT tered the war. Captain Lester tes- t.fed that Dickinson was employed in 19l6 and in response to questions stated u ere was nothing in his investigatio to show any German connections or Ger mar activities by Dickinson after Feb- ruary, 1917.
 H The error, occurring in the report of a discussion by Captain Lester of q the United States went to war, in which Viereck protested loyalty, attributed to the witness the statement that it was only short time after writing this letter that Viereck came to Washington and employed Dickinson as his secret agent to obtain information from the United States. The transcript shows that Dick ir.son's employment was discussed after the reference to the letter, but that Cap tain Lester did not connect the two in- cdents.
 MT. Dickinson appeared before the com niittee on January r, at his own request, and testified that he was employed by Vereck to write articles for the Father land in 1916 and that he severed the connection when the United States broke relations with Germany.
