Washington, Feb. G.-Severe
storms raging over practically the
entire eastern half of the United
States have cat seriously into OPP
Grafton OF the railroads, Director
General Hines reported tonight.
Trains Were running late on
neary every division east of the
Mississippi river. Coastwise ship
ping, a necessary link in the rail-
ruaus, is demoralizcd, traffic being
completely tied up in some lh-
stances.
These conditions, MIR. Hines said,
have been further complicated by
the spread of influenza among rail-
road employees. The New York
Central lines alone reported today
more than 1000 employees ill with
the disease.
Maintenance of the passenger
trains schedules have been increas-
ingly difficult, trains being forced
to reduce speed to avoid accidents
and plow through snowdritts
Tracks have been washed away IN
many instances. Reports from the

in traffic movement although 1t i

Buy
ARGENTINE HIDES
IN QUANTITIES

Buenos Aires, Jan. (by Mail ---
American buyers are reported to be
buying Argentine cattle hides on
contracts which would include the
greater part of what are known as
freezing house skins" up to the
middle Of June, 1920 The Ameri-
can buyers, according to La Razon,
are anticipating German purchases
which are expected to be fac litat-
ed by the resumption of maritime
traffic with German ports.
"At present" says La Razon,
the demand for cattle hides is very
active all over the world. The
United states bought during the
war the greater part Of Argentina S
production, but now cannot do this
for the reason that the tanning in
dustry has progressed very much in
several countries such as Spain,
Sweden, Norway and Holland, and
these countries today are disput-
ing the market As Germany Is
commencing to- operate on a large
scale in the international hide mar
kot, the United states will not find
! the same facilities that she had In
1915-1S to impose her prices on the
market.
1T is estimated that Argentina
next year will be able to dispose
of more than 100000 cattle
hides"

that Francis j. Dyer, American
consul there. had been informed by
Mexican officials that nothing
could be done toward effecting the
release of the aviators until in

The opinion is expressed in mill
