ROTTERDAM, Netherlands, Aug. 1.
—A revival In German shipping is
1 the latest curious feature of Rotter
dam's water traffic. No fewer than
fourteen German steamships arrived
in port within forty-eight hours a day
or two ago. The occupation is per
haps still more strange, for coming
in ballast, they are engaged in loading
German coal at Rotterdam and carry
ing il to German, Swedish and Nor
wegian ports. The coal is mostly
1 |
brought down the Rhine in barges,
the object achieved by this latest
move being a lightening of the over
, burdened German railways, where, on
top of the pressure of war's demands
has come the shortage of rolling stock
( 1 duo to the increased wear and toai
i resulting from lack of sufficient lu
brlcuting oil.
The new idea was first tested. Out
or two vessels laid up at Rotterdam
| were loaded with coal and put to sea
‘ Hugging the coast, they arrtvod safe
ly at Emden. Then an occasiuna
German ship arrived to take a cargc
of coal. The experiment proved sue
, cessful.

SEPARATE PEACE "
Blf RUSSIA IS
NOE LIKELf
(By Associated Press)
NEW YORK, Aug. 1.—Russia, as
now constituted, is as little likelv lo
make a separate peace as is the United
States, in the opinion of C. H. Uoyn
ton, of New York, president of the
American-Russian Chamber of Com
merce. Mr. Boynton, who is now in
Petrograd, has forwarded to the or
ganization. of which he is president,
a statement on the conditions in Rus
sia. in which he presents an optimis
tic view of the Russian outlook.
Wherever separate peace has be-m
mentioned, it has been howled down
with indignation, he writes. Efforts
( made by the Russian extremists to
create disorders have been ovcr
- hrown not by armed force* but by
he force of public opinion. "If in
he future appearances in Russia
>hould seem alarming.” Mr. Boyntaa
isserted, “the real situation will be
n the hands of a ministry composed
If the best Russia can offer.” He pre
licted that the task of reoYganizing
he government’s policies will i.e ac
■omplished before many months.
Industrial operations, according to
Mr. Boynton, would at present meet
insurmountable obstacles owing to the
equirements of the war; but ho de
■ dared that American cupltal m i mer
chants interested in the Russian field
- should lose no time in preparing and
equipping themselves for tlio uugo
1 commercial business which, in his
1 opinion, is certain to be coincident
)
with the end of the war.
