By the tlmo tills dispatch is bolng read In America Llojd Georso will probably huo had his promised conferenco with Colonel ' House regarding the American represcutu. tlon on tho Inter-allled Council, which will rve In an advisory but not an executive capacity.

PERSONAL GREETING CARDS designed in tne Studios of this Establishment Moderate in Price To Insure Prompt Delivery Immediate Orders Arc Advisable OFFICERS EXECUTIVES MANAGERS EXCLUSIVE GOVERNMENT TERMINALS NATIONAL TERMINAL CLEARING DAY A Clear the Way Help Our Army, Navy and Allies, to Win This War MERICA'S RAILROADS are doing wonderful work, but they need help. Freight cars must be unloaded and terminals cleared. If it is your job, speed up loading anloading of cars on private sidings. 1 Do not be a slacker by trying to save expense of labor or space by using freight cars as storage houses. If your merchandise is congested at the terminals and you have not sufficient teams or motortrucks to move the goods at once, buy them or hire public ones. If you can't do this, do something else ask your neighbor to help you. Why hesitate to hire your neighbors' trucking facilities? We must pull together. Shipping Departments throughout the country demand the personal consideration of executives. Co-operation throughout the entire establishment with the Shipping Department is vital. Ascertain all the old rules and regulations your Shipping Department is expected to carry out, and if they do not fit the present emergency, throw them away. Plan to reach nearby points by motor trucks, teams or water ways save the railroad terminals. Twenty-five per cent (25) of case, barrel and package merchandise can be deliv ered in this way, and help break the congestion. No one wants embargoes. If the railroads decide to reserve certain terminals exclu sively for Government materials, do not grumble, but go the extra distance and haul your goods to or from other terminals. It may be necessary to have a National Terminal Clearing Day in order to clear all terminals throughout the entire country. If we have a Terminal Clearing Day, keep your teams and motortrucks going and keep your receiving departments open continuously 24 or 48 hours, if need be, and give the railroads a chance to catch up. Let everybody be prepared some way, somehow, to move their merchandise away from the terminals immediately.
