TRANSPORTTION BDARD
WAR, FUEL, FOOD COMMITTEES
EACH DEMAND PRIORITY
IN SHIPMENT
Washington, Nov. 30.-Requests
from different government quarters
for priority of transportation for each
food, fuel, and munitions, has thrown
the whole question of preferential
shipments into a tangle. The commit-
tee on priority of transportation to-
night was trying to clear the situa-
tion.
Tonight the food administration an-
nounced it had entered a strong pro-1
test with the priority committee
against giving priority to coal move-;
ment or any other freight over food
shipments. The situation is further
complicated by demands of the war
and navy departments for preferen-
tial rights for the movement of their
supplies. At the offices of the priority
committee no one would say what ma-
terials would be given preference and
some officials suggested that the whole
question might be taken up for decis-
ion by the recently created war coun-
cil comprised of department heads and
chairmen of the various government
boards and commissions.

of Camps
Camp Custer, Battle Creek, Nov. 30.
-Whether Battle Creek can retain the
cantonment located at Camp Custer
depends on the summary of her rela-
tions with the army.
A complete set of books of news-
paper comment is being kept at the
camp here in which every transaction
and relationship between the camp
and Battle Creek itself is being set
down to await the final day of judge-
ment. That day will come when the:

ganized to warrant a centralization.

to allow a cantonment in each state.
As a result, a number of cantonments
will be abandoned and which ones

A number of good things are con-
tained in the newspaper annals con-
cerning Battle Crek and the camp, butC
on the other hand a number of proced-
ures that do not speak well of the food ,
city are written there. For instance,
there are stories about poor roads
from- town to camp, instances of over-
charge to soldiers, cases of poor ser-,
vice on trolley lines and other con-
ditions which will tend to pull down
Battle Creek's standing when the time
comes to eliminate one of the camps.

It. S. Intervention Inevitable-Bryce
London, Nov. 30. - "If the United
States had refrained from joining the
Allies, and Germany had chanced to
*win the war, Amercia would still have
been emblroiled," declared Lord Bryce,
former ambassador to the United
States.
In his opinion, Germany would have
:insisted on extending her protection to
the Germans who occupy a large area
of land in Southern Brazil and are
:pleased to be released from home re-

Western hemisphere the United States
-would have been duty bound to inter-

(By Associated Press)
British Headquarters in France,
Nov. 30.-The British ,virtually have
completed the - consolidation of the
greater part of the area wrenched
from the enemy in the Cambrai push.
The work accomplished in a few days
is little short of miraculous and to-
day, throughout much territory re-
cently held by the enemy, the well oil-
ed British machine is running like
clockwork.
The famous Hindenburg line has
been so thoroughly punctured by well-
built highways and tracks that the
famous German defenses seem little
more than a myth.
The Germans .brought considerable
new artillery into this region to replace
the guns that General Byng captured,
but their fire is still weak compared
with that on the Flanders front.
