he substantially aided by the Increased
freight rates granted yesterday by tho
Interstate commerce commission was
the opinion generally expressed today
by railroads.
President B F of the Dela
ware and Hudson Railroad, stated the
rate increase would relieve the distress
of the railroads by making up a deficit
n tiislr earnings. He did not believe,
however, that It would give railroads
any additional purchasing power.
President A. If. Smith, of tho New
York Central lines, and Howard Elliott,
president of the New York, New Ha
ven and Hartford Railroad, expressed
the opinion that the commission had
recognized the needs of the railroads
and the necessity of Increasing freight
rales.
Under Existing Conditions.
"in Its broad scope the Increases
show in my opinion,” said (ieo. F.
Brownell, vice president and general
solicitor of the Erie Railroad, ’"that
(he Interstate Commerce Commission
had realized that the relief that tho
commission had previously thought
could be he gained from other meas
ures than Increased.freight traffic had
been made Impossible by the results
nt the war and existing conditions.”
Alexander J. Hemphill, president of
the <iuamty Trust Company said:
“From my point of view the most
favorable feature of the ocminlsslon’s
decision Is that the people at Wash
ington are displaying n disposition to
help the railroads. 1 don’t believe,
however, that the Industrial companies
will reap any great benefit from It.”

naval appropriation bill. Public bear
ings were concluded yesterday with
the testlmny of Representative Gard
ner of Massachusetts, who initiated in
congress the movement for an Investi
gation of the preparedness of the Unit
ed States for war. The committee
hopes to report the hill to the houeo
before the holiday recess.
Public hearings on the measure were
quite ;i departure from the usual cus

bill und during the past fortnight cre
ated unusual interest. Secretary Dan
iels. the commander of tho Atlantic
battleship fleet, the former command
er of the Orel. and high officials of

that period the general hoard recom
mended US battleships, one armored
cruiser,- three protected cruisers and
two battle cruisers. Of these recom
mendations congress authorized the
following: 17 battleships, two armored
cruisers and no protected cruisers or
battle cruisers. Other Important rec

congress allowed three, and 30 sub
marines, which congress increased to
55.
M NOW PAVED
FOR PROSPERITY
President Much Pleased With
Decision to Permit Railways
to Advance Rates Five Per
Cent.
Washington.— The decision of iho in
terstate commerce commission In the
Eastern advance rate case was said
today to bo gratifying to administra
tion officials. It was said the com
mission’s action In granting the rail
roads in official classification territory
the right to advance their freight rates
6 per cent except upon certain heavy
commodities which comprise a large
bulk of the traffic, would pave the way
for an Immediate revival of prosperity
throughout the United States. The
exceptions referred to are coal, coke.
Iron ore and certain other traffic
moved partly by lake and partly by
rail upon which the commission had
heretofore fixed rates adjudicated
"reasonable.” Official classification
territory constitutes the country east
of the Mississippi, north of the Po
tomac and Ohio rivers.
D re*‘d*nt Pleased.
President Wilson, it is known, was
greatly pleased with the decision al
though no formal statement lias been
given out by him. He expects the
decision will have an immediate effect
upon the country's economic situation.
The president had let it tie known all
along that lie believed Improvement of
business conditions generally hinged to
some extent upon additional revenues
being provided for the railroads.
As a result of the commission's de
cision. It ‘s estimated that the roa ts
affected will he able to add about
1:10.000.000 to their annual revenue.
They had hoped to obtain increases
which would give them approximately
f 60,000,000 In added revenue annually.

GERMANY’S FDOO
PROBLEM TODAY
Opinion Differs in Estimating
Resources Since Embargo on
All Imports Has Become Ef
fective.
Since the embargo on all imports into
Germany has become effective, many es
timates of heft’ resources both by her
own authorities and by others have been
expietsed. A careful and comprehensive
survey of the subject is made by a
writer in the fourth war issue of the
Scientific American, and his conclusion
is that Germany has sufficient food to
last fcA* at least a year. A portion of
h!s remarks, which are of exceeding in
terest. are as follows:
Germany’s extraordinary isolation in
both the military and commercial rela
tions of the empire has been fully noted
in the daily press; and much has been
made of the fact that she usually im
ports about a third of the wheat she
uses, and all of certain textile materials,
such as raw cotton and silk. It has
been confidently predicted that the war
will result in the ruination of her for
eign trade and the utter prostration ot
her industries; while it seems to be as
sumed, without much evidence of any
careful study of the situation, that in
the matter of food supplies particular
ly. the war will quickly lead to scanty
fare, if not to widespread hardships,
from artual lack of food.
But this notion, while it has some
thing to support it, fails to grasp the
fact that Germany can support herself
on her home resources for fully a year,
and that this capacity for self-support
In the face of a universal embargo has
a very high military value. It is prob
ably true that long before next August,
if the war were to last as long as that,
the people of Germany would be put to
many shifts from their usual mode of
living. They might, for instance, have to
learn to eat a greater part of their an
nual production of some two billion
bushels of potatoes which are now most
ly used in the production of industrial
alcohol. In the absence of impwts of
raw cotton, they would undoubtedly
have to economize on stockings, under
wear, and shirts. But they could very
well do thes things, and many others
that necessity might require, without
any real bodily suffering. The South,
In our Civil War, cheerfully endured
privations much greater than any of a
material sort likely to afflict the Ger
man people in the course of a year’s
war.
WAR STRATEGY,
WINTER WEATHER
Climate Conditions in Regions
of Europe Where Hostilities
Are Being Conducted.
Few people in this country have any
idea if the climate conditions in winter
in the regions of Europe where the
hostilities are being conducted, so the
following description that .appears in
the fourth war issue of the Scientific
American is particularly timely and
valuable. In regard to the weather
conditions, and the effect they will
have on the contending armies, the
writer gives the following informa
tion:
The two main theatres of the pres
ent war differ greatly front each other
in their winter climates. Western
Europe enjoys comparatively tnild
ivinters under influence of prevailing
westerly and southwesterly winds
from the Atlantic Ocean, which, like
all large bodies of water, has but a
small range of temperature front sum
mer to winter. The climate is, how
ever, very moist, so that a moderate
degree of cold produces much discom
fort. Cloudy weather prevails consid
erably more often than in any part of
the United States, except perhaps the
reeion of the Great Lakes and the ex
treme North Pacific coast. As we go
inland we find no abrupt change of
conditions, as there is no Targe range
of mountains running parallel to the
Atlantic coast, to form a climatic di
vide; very gradually, however, the cli
mate becomes more continental, and
the present eastern theater of the war
lies in a region that is intermediate in
climate between the marine conditions
of the western coast and the truly con
tinental climate of central Russia.
The snowfall increases generally
from west to east: not because of an
increase in the total precipitation (rain
plus snow), for this actually decreases,
hut because, with lower temperatures,
a larger proportion of the precipitation
takes the frozen form. The snowfall
also increases markedly with attitude.
Both regions are subject to rapid
and frequent changes in temperature
under the influence of barometric de
pressions passing from west to east
although, especially in the eastern re
gion, these are somewhat less frequent
than in the northeastern United States,
ns the main European storm-tracks lie
north of the war zone.
AVith respect to temperature and
snowfall, one might say in very gen
eral terms that the western theater of
war has the climate of South Carolina
while the eastern has that of lowa.
