P|ERHEAD LINE
EXTENS|ONPLAN
OF HARb0R BID.

Believing 1t would be to the
advantage of the city and the plants
located along the Staten Island sound
to have the pternead line extended,
the Board of Harbor Commissioners
at their meeting Monday night Will
consider the advisability of appealing
to the New Jersey Harbor Commits
sion for aid In gaining this improve
ment, according to President Richard
A. Bolger.
w. Z. RunyOn Is O. member OF the
state body and has expressed his
willingness to aid in the elimination
OF any development he deems con-
duciye to the city's interests, and
through his services the local COM
missioners expect to secure the pier
head extension.
The state board, is declared,
would have more weight with the
War Department than a municipal
harbor commission, and for that
reason 1t is proposed that the i'm
provement be referred to the state
body. Cooperation with municipal
harbor boards form the main duties
Of the state body.
10 Eun1uAOc OuTVc.
According to Mr.. Bolger the plan
for extension of the pierhead line In
cludes the elimination Of an inward
curve OF the line that swerves to-
ward the shore in the vicinity Of
Fayette street. 1t Is proposed, how
ever, to extend the whole line along
the city's waterfront on the Staten
Island sound. The plan calls for an
extension OF some seventy-1ve or one
hundred feet where the pierhead line
bends shoreward. 1t is desired that
the line be extended so that the
plants along the shore may build
longer piers, and so that the city
may erect more pretentious dock
which might be needed II the harbor
board decides to lease portion of
the city dock to the New York and
New Jersey Steamboat Company.
which negotiations are under way
and will be discussed at the meeting
Monday night.

leased the ground floor OF the two

GREAT WEAKNESS OF TROOPS
FORCES SHORT LULL IN BATTLE;
" FIGHTING AWFUL IN SACRIFICES

not important except that it Is officially
confirmed that the Germans have received
reinforcements from Lorraine.
There were few isolated encounters
today, but both sides appear to have
abandoned the rash movements across
the open, which marked the early stages
of the war Obviously the deadly machine
guns have taught a lesson.
Pray Before Advance.
One of the incidents of yesterday, when
che fierce fighting was awful in its
sacrifices was widely recounted today.
A British infantry regiment upon re-
ceiying an order to advance and take a
German position, knelt for a moment in
prayer Then the men, knowing that
their charge was to be terrible in cost
sprang to their feet and, with fixed bay
onets, clambered out of the shelter Of the
trench. In short and rapid rushes they
advanced in wide open order, alternately
lying down and then making another
dash of fifteen yards. From the German
position came the thick hail Of the ma
chine guns. The attacking soldiers hur-
rahed and sang as they pressed forward.
Many fell with cries of determination on
their lips. Finally those who remained
of the regiment reached and took the
to-hand encounter.
This was only one among many similar
acts Of courage and discipline on the part
of French, British and Germans alike at
various points along the line.

Exception is taken by the French
embassy to the statement from the
German embassy here that the father
land is conducting a defensive war. The
French embassy claims that German
troops invaded Belgian territory even
before the declaration Of war.
The statement given out last night
by the French embassy follows:
"In an interview attributed to the
German ambassador this morning the
statement is once more repeated that
Germany was attacked and that she
conducts Con her neighbours territory
a defensive war. We have said all
along the interview reads, that they
brought about the war by attacking

ions have all been formed with the

the British censor. No other reason
is apparent to him.
