18 REAL ESTATE MEN POINT TO NEED FOR FIVE HUNDRED MODERATE-PRICED HOUSES U-BOAT CAMPAIGN NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR CONGESTION Railroads Declare Weather Re sponsible; Ship Agents to Do All in Their Power New York, Feb. 17.—Owners and agents of ships declared to-day that they were ready to do their part in relieving the railroad freight conges tion. They predicted that exporters would have no cause for complaint that they couid not find vessels to carry their goods—at least no greater cause than existed before the declara tion of the German submarine block ade. Railroad men were Inclined to rxgree that the new submarine campaign played only a small part in the freight situation. They pointed out that be fore the German edict went into ef fect the British steamship companies reserved 85 per cent, of their cargo space for the use of their government. The most important factor in the situ ation they said was the weather which had been the worst in many years. Twenty-one merchant ships arriving here yesterday promised greater cargo space than the port of New York has enjoyed for some time. Fourteen of these came through the war zone. At tention was called, however, to the fact that the arrival of so many ves sels from Europe at this time did not throw as much light upon the severity of the new submarine peril as it would a week hence because most of them had entered the war zone before the period of immunity expired on February 3. War risk insurance to-day showed a slight reduction from the high rates prevailing since the beginning of the German blockade. Rapidly Working Out Details of Change in Examination of Ships Washington. D. C., Fob. 1' •-Details of the arrangement for examining oastbound trans-Atlantic shinning :, i Halifax. N. S.. instead of at Kirkwall, are being worked out rapidly through exchanges between the British Ad miralty. the Canadian authorities and the British embassy here. Robert Spear Hudson, third secre tary of the embassy, now is in New- York consulting with the British con sul general and with representatives of shipping interest"? preparatory to going to Halifax, where he will act as the agent for the embassy in ar ranging for the examination of ship ping. The comparatively small force of in spectors already assembling at Hali fax to search the passengers and cargo of the Danish liner Frederik VIII. upon which Count Von Bernstorft and his party are traveling, is said at the embassy here to be inadequate for ex amination of the total volume of ship ping expected to pass by vsC of Hali fax and it will be nece*J? practical ly to duplicate the elaborate machin ery at Kirkwall. In consideration of conducting the examinations on the western side of the Atlantic, which British officials here declare is entirely in deference to the needs of American commerce. American ship masters are expected to co-operate and avoid any attempt to zuake their way across the Atlantic ■without inspection. May Handle Westbound, Too Instead of abandoning the practice of issuing "letters of assurance" to American exporters to facilitate the handling of goods, the practice will be luade general and all exporters will be required to procure such "letters of assurance." Failure in that respect or attempt of ship masters to avoid the inspection either at Halifax or Kirkwall It is de clared will result In taking goods and ships to the British prize courts. Extension of the Halifax examin ation to westbound traffic now is un der consideration.

Many Wait Along Frontier For Permission to Leave By Associated Press Geneva, via Paris. Feb. 17.—Many Americans who have been living in Germany are reported to be waiting near Singen and Constance for permis sion to cross the frontier into Switz erland.

"There is rea son for stating with authority," tele graphs Reuters Berne correspondent, "that the note presented by the Swiss minister to the American government tsuggestlng fresh negotiations regard ing the submarine warfare owed Its origin to no Initiative on the part of the Swiss minister or the Swiss gov ernment.

The York contractor quot ed seventy-five cents per cubic yard for the general run of excavation, $4 per cubic yard for rock, and $1 per cubic yard for hauling away the dirt. Harrisburg contractors to-day said the ilgures were not exorbitant by any means, considering the conditions with which they have to contend at pres ent. F. B.

Contractors, unable to supply their needs, report that little progress will be mode until warmer weather thaws open the river and some of the quar ries can be operated.

Hopple, one of the contractors who has operations under way in sev eral districts in the city, declared to day that even when carloads of sand are received here, the sand cannot be removed as it is frozen solid.
