TWO ALL PLEASED SI rams RELIEF Unanimous Agreement That Advance in Rates, Under Ex isting Conditions. Will Greatly Aid. New York.—-That railroads would 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.” AT THE BIJOU Scenes Behind the Scenes.

Marketing of Farm Products a Vital Problem Which Must Be Solved Soon The Farmer Will Not Benefit From Raising Other Crops Be side Cotton Unless He Can Dispose of His Produce---The Federal Department of Agriculture Ready to Help if Help is Asked. TThe south has for so long been a one crop coiffitty That little or no at tention has;.been given to the proper marketing of: farm products except the marketing qf cotton. In this, the transition period from cotton to food production, no other matter is se important as is the matter of proper facilities for marketing.

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.
