CAR SHORTAGE THREATENED.

San Francisco. Hearty co.
operation between shippers and
the railroads is necessary to
overcome the real crisis" of car
shortage faced by the country.
This statement was made by
Roy V. Wright of New York,
managing editor of Railway
Age" and one of the country's
leading authorities on the rail
road situation, who is here in.
vestigating railroad conditions.
In the course of an interview,
Mr. Wright said.
Business the country over is
in fourishing condition. Un.
employment a matter of deep
concern during the past two
years has disappeared. The i'm.
provement in general business is
reflected in the great amount of
freight business which the rail.
ways have been handling in re.
cent months.
For weeks they have been
loading we'll over 100000 cars of
revenue freight per week, an
increase of from about 13 to 90
per cent as compared to the pre-.
vious five years average for the
corresponding weeks. Conser-
vativc estimates are that the
peak load this year will reach
l ,O85, 900 cars next October-an
increase of z per cent over the
maximum for 1920, the banner
year up to this time.
The railroads have added
considerably to their facilities
and equipment and have i'm
proved their organizations dur
ing the past two years this in
spite of the fact that they have
averaged a much lower return
upon their valuation as estimat.
ed by the Interstate Commerce
Commission than was intended
by Congress in the Transports.
ton Act of 1920.
THE railroads, at a meeting
in New York two weeks ago,
pledged themselves to do certain
things that will help to make il
possible to handle the record
breaking business which is being
offered them.
Unfortunately, however, there
is car shortage now and in
spite of all that the railroads
can do, business will be restrict.
ed by the shortage of transport.
alton unless the public will CO.
operate by loading all cars to
maximum capacity. loading and
unloading them promptly and
providing more adequate facili.
ties for themselves. Road and
building construction material
should also be shipped as early
in the season as possible.
No business man can afford
to overlook his duty in this re.
spect. Acute shortage of tran.
sportation even if it may not
seriously hurt him directly, will
so affect general business as to
the disadvantage of the entire
community.
I'VE are confronting a real
crisis-it can be overcome to a.
large degree by hearty co.opera.
ton between the shipper and re.
ceiver of freight and the rail.
roads. The doing of this con.
Germs the interest of every citi.
zen, and should receive his at.
tention."

FRENCH And BRITISH ARE
DEADLOCKED IN GERMANY
Beach No Agreement on Transport
ing Troops Through English
Controlled Territory.

London, March ,7..-Reuter's Col
ogne correspondent learns on the
highest authority that French and
British representatives are still COM
pletely deadlocked over the question
of moving French troops through the
British zone.
General Sir Arthur Cooley, COM
handing British troops at Cologne,
and General Payota. French chief Of
transportation in the occupied region,
held two conferences on Monday. At
these, the correspondent says, General
Cooley. flatly refused the French de-
mands, whereupon General Payota
said he would appeal to London.
The French ask the right to run
trains between Bonnie and Neuss,
which would involve 80 minute
shunting operation on the part of
every train in the Cologne central
station. The British contend, the cor
respondent asserts, that this would
seriously hamper traffic and woaid
lead to strike of the German staff,
making the British position unten-
able.
The correspondent understands that
the German ,railwaymen in the British
zone are not only under orders to
strike in case the French take over
the railroads. but to inaugurate wide
spread sabotage.

POLICEMAN
NOW IN PARLIAMENT
Hayes Defeats Member Of A.
Bonar Laws Cabinet

London, March 7.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press.) The eAcitment aroused
in the house OF commons and the
political clubs over the defeat of John
Waller Hills, financial secretary OF
the treasury in primary by-election
spread to the general public today
when the result became known
through the newspapers.
Aside from the unprecedented de-
feat of three ministers in succession
only few months after the new gov
eminent came into power, the sig
nificance of the breach in the solid
conservative phalanx of Liverpool
impresses the public. Mr.. Hills was
defeated in the Edge Hill division of
that city by a plurality of about 1000
votes. The seat was won by j. H..
Hayes, the labor candidate, who is
said to have been surprised at his
victory.
With the exception of the Scotland
division of Liverpool, which the vet
eran nationalist, Thomas P. O'Con-
nor has represented since 1885, every
one Of Liverpool's II divisions has
been represented by a conservative
for many years. Sir w. ". Ruther-
ford, the sitting member for Edge
Hill, who retired to provide a seat
for Mr.. Mills after the latter was
taken into the cabinet, has been re-
turned by large maJorities in every
election for the past 90 years.
1t is noteworthy that only IS per
cent. of the electorate voted yester-
day. This showing is generally at
tributed to refusal to support a
nominee conservative whose policy
on the housing question and some
other issues is held in profound dis
approval by faction of tho conserv-
atives.
Another factor in Mr.. Hills defeat,
according to some observers was the
women's vote. There are more than
$4,000 women electors in the con-
stituency and it is among the women
that the hostility toward the govern
ment is generally manifest.
From whatever angle the result is

meeting Suzanne Lenglen in this

Among the explanations offered

That Mrs. Mallory was unused to
the Mentone courts, or other hard
covered courts; that the Riviera light
is very treacherous for player here
for the first time; that perhaps seven
or eight days practice with a pro-
fessional on the Mentone courts might
