GIVE RED CROSS PREFERENCE

Shipments Will Be Exempt From Embargoes and Take Right of Way Over Other Freight. The railroad war bo&l has notified the war council that Red Cross shipments will be exempt from all embargoes and take right of way over all save government freight. Virtually all the cargo space needed by the Red Cross for ocean transportation is already at its disposal, much of it being given free by the steamship panies. \
