Zone must admit she says in her
book, "that food in America is rot
good. To the Frenchwoman, the
word meal cannot be applied to
bolting down a club sandwich in

Americans a sort of moloto .ous and

Congestion at Railroad Ter
minals Said to be Worst
Since Winter of 1917

WASHINGTON, May 13.-Congest-
ion of freight at the principle rail
road terminals throughout the United
States, declared to be the worst since
the winter of 1917, is beginning to be
felt by business and commerce from
Atlantic to Pacific coasts. Predic-
ton wos made in official and bust
ness circles here today that unless
the jam is broken shortly the situa-
tion was made in official and busi-
production, slowing down of industry
and probably a tremendous turnover
of labor.
Reports received by the Federal
Railroad Administration, Interstate
Commerce Commission and railway
executives indicate that congestion is
due to shortage of men and lack of
motive power and was brought to
head by the recent switchmen's
strike, which is still in progress in
many sections.

might continue to mount. In the

clared there was little hope for the

j, S, DISTANCED
IN TRADE RACE

PARIS, May 13.-(By Associated
Press)-That Great Britain has stolen
wide march on the United States
and France inl the resumption of busi-
ness relations with Germany is the
opinion expressed by French mer-
chants who have tried to buy goods
across the Rhine. In great major
ity of cases the merchants report,
the German manufacturer replies to
an inquiry that his plant will be
tied up for a long time to come
by contracts with British customers.
An Investigation based on these
reports is said to have developed
the fact that the British are ex-
porting great quantities of raw ma
terials to Germany for which they are
asking no payment in money but are
taking manufactured articles in ex-
change.
Germany is now getting her iron
ore from Sweden, largely under the
most entirely independent of France
for raw materials Having at the
same time reopened her big outlet
for manufacturers elsewhere, Ger
many is also Independent to great
extent as to her selling markets,
while France is anxious to get from
her coal and agricultural implements
which she can no longer buy in the
United States without immense dis
advantages, owing to the unfavor-
able exchange rates.
Belief is expressed in official cir
cles that Germany is seeking to
use this economic situation to bring
pressure on France with view to
gaining concessions in the terms of
the Versailles treaty.
