Exports to U. S. Held Up
N. Y. Central Embargo Adds to
Acute Canadian Situation

OTTAWA, Ont, March 19.-Hun-
.dreds of thousands of dollars worth of
merchandise consigned for export to
the UnteA States is being held up
here, owing, to shortage of foreign
railroad cars in which to ship the
goods. The situation, embarrassing
for some weeks, has been rendered
more serious, it is said, by an embargo
placed by the New York Central
against shipments from Canada, east
of Buffalo.
Canadian roads are said to be un-
willing to let cars go across the bor-
der, as there already are 10000 Ca
madam cars on United States rails and
only 10000 foreign cars on Canadian
roads.
The New York Central's embargo
against shipments from Canada, east
Of Buffalo, imposed last Monday, is
temporary and only to relieve conges-
tion at terminal points brought on by
recent storms in the Middle West, it
was announced here yesterday. Short
age of freight cars or other related
conditions have nothing to do with it

Youthful A. E. F. Mascot
Is Sent Back to France
Roger Hippeau Leaves Letter
Behind; Fails to See Fare

Roger Hippeau, twelve years old, the
Youngest member of the A. r. F. ever
to assert that he won the war, started
back for France yesterday on the
French liner Rochambeau. The Tray
ellers' Aid Society is returning him to
his brother, sister and mother in Paris.
When Roger was nine his father died
while fighting for France. Shortly
thereafter he attached himself as mas
cot to the 3O1st Field Artillery, A. E. f.,
and went with them to the front.
There, it is said, he was wounded three
times and was decorated for bravery
under fire.
His special pal was Sergeant f. N.
Clough, of Battery f, who after re-
turning to Maiden, Mass, his home,
sent for Roger. The lad was brought
1t was held, however, that Clough was
not strict enough guardian for the
boy and the Travellers Aid Society is
sending him back home.
Rogers last act, before boarding the
liner, was to press letter to Winifred
Madden, of Maiden, into the hand Of q
reporter, with fearful request that il
be mailed. Then the tears at the
thought of separation from the lady OF
his heart became too many, and he
retired.
By his retirement he missed the
spectacle of the farewell to America OF
Leon Tecktonius, the French pianist
who has been giving recitas in this
country. NJ. Tecktonius's last act be
fore boarding the liner was to embrace
one after the other, the seven womcr
who accompanied him to the pier. Al

Yorce Proceedings
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

LOS ANGELES, March 1e.-Attor-
neys for Charley Chaplin and his wife,
Mildred Harris Chaplin, were under
stood to-day to have reached an agree
ment for the settlement out OF court
of the domestic difficulties Of the two
movie actors. Although neither the
principals nor their attorneys would
discuss the matter, Kenyon F. Lee,
counsel for Mrs. Chaplin, consented to
set at rest rumors that Mrs. Chaplin
was about to start for Nevada to in
stitute divorce proceedings.
"Any action taken by Mildren Har-
ris Chaplin will be taken in Los An
geles," said Mr.. Lee, II cannot say
when such action will be taken for
mally, nor can l at this time say what
in detail will be the nature of such
suit. 1t is certain that Mrs. Chaplin
does not intend to leave Los Angeles
at this time"
1t was reported that if the basis of
agreement proved to be unacceptable
to either party, Charley will not con-
test any action by his wife for divorce
or separate maintenance on the ground
Of desertion. Both MIR. Chaplin and
his attorney, Arthur Wright, refused
to make a statement.
1t was said Mrs. Chaplin was not
unwilling to attempt a reconciliation
but in any event would insist that he1
husband support her. 1t was said to-
day that she will leave for a New
York mountain resort as soon as the
picture she is working on now is COM
pleted.

L. l. Railroad Protest Heard
Four Tracking Brooklyn Line
Will Cost at Least S43.OOO,0OO

1t will cost at least $43,000,000 to
four track the Long Island Railroad
from Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, to
Jamaica, and if the additional tracks
are put in subway the cost may run
as high as s7o,ooo,oOo, according to
officials of the railroad who testified
at the hearing yesterday before the
Public Service Commission.
The commission is making an in
vestigation of possible means of
rcmedying congestion at the Tlatbush
Avenue station, as we'll as the train
congestion on the tracks leading into
it. The Long Island Railroad traffic
at Flatbush Avenue is the heaviest in
the city, except for the combined New
York Central and New Haven traffic
at the Grand Central Terminal. Only
two main tracks run into the station.
The railroad company regards the
four-tracking plan as too expensive,
and contended yesterday that the
forthcoming completion of the dual
system of rapid transit would divert
enough traffic from the Long Island
lines to improve conditions. The COM
mission disputes the latter contention.
