STEEL SHORTAGE
IS THREATENED
AS RESULT OF COMMANDEER.
ING OF RAILS FOR
CARRIERS.
Mills May Have to Postpone CONNER
ciaI Demands Until They Can Build
Up Their Stock of Materials BY In
crease of Production.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
New York.-The most exciting fea-
ture of the steel market during the past
week was the communicating by the
Railroad Administration of 1880 tons
of open hearth rails for delivery before
March 1. The orders are distributed
among five mills, at minimum price
of SAT, with exceptions for certain
producers to be determined later. In
addition to this wartime demand
$4,000 tons have also been ordered.
The requirements of the Adminlstra-
ton was estimated in all. at 2SO0OO
tons, so that the mills will likely De
called on for 10000 additional to
what is already on order.
If the Government presses its de-
mands the present mill schedules for
the production and distribution or
raw steel will be considerably upset,
and the shortage of steel for general
commercial use for time, at least,
will be more pronounced than ever.
Prices of independent companies
continue to advance for semi-finished
and finished products, and production
is seriously hampered by lack of fuel
and inadequate transportation faciii-
ties. The mills are not only heavily
sold, but are carrying a large accu-
mutation of finished material, which
in many instances has crowded their
limited storage capacity to a point
which may force some of them to cur
tail further production until the rail-
roads are able to furnish the much
needed relief.

FRENCH HOPEFUL
FOR ALLIANCES TO
SUPPLANT LEAGUE
Continued from First Yage.)

the American President professed
such an amazing ignorance of his
toric fact was rendered the more
striking by the fact that one Of the
Belgian delegates who was pleading
for his nations rights had lost q
brother in that equatorial African
campaign Of which the American
President had never even heard.
oring to initiate the policy of alli-
ances. tried to induce England as well
as France to accept. the idea. she re-
cieved scant consideration in London
where the league Of nations. organ
lied by President Wilson. had de-
veloped into an all-British concern
excluding every kind Of special pledge
in any single power. This so disap-
pointed Belgium that she determined
to stand by France at the time Of the
occupation of Frankfort and with
France stood at San Reno.
Thus 1t may be announced that the
consistent policy of Monsieur Mile
rand. the French premier. will be,
while maintaining French rights un-
der the treaty, to evolve out Of the
league OF nations wreckage a new
system Of alliances which at least
will accomplish something. It ID
fervently hoped here in France that
land. will follow suit and that a mu-
tual adaptation Of interests economic
and military will occur under pres
sure Of circumstances.
