WAR NEWS IN BRIEF.

The official silence maintained
for the past twelve hours over
the operations of the allies in
northeastern Frssee was broken
today by the official statement
from Paris. This set forth that
the left wing. of the allied army
was extending more and more
widely; that strong forces of
German cavalry had appeared in
the vicinity of Lille, in the de-
partment of Nord; that between
the Somme and the Disc there
had been alternate advances and
Withdrawals, and that a German
attack near Lissigny had failed.
North of scissors the allies have
advanced. The rest of the front
shows no change.
The disclosure that the opera
tions on the western end of the
great battle line have reached the
vicinity of Lille, places the Ger
mans in strength at a point easily
within ten miles of the Belgian
frontier. Taking Lassigny as the
elbow of the French battle line, it
now extends roughly for eighty
miles due north and for consider
ably over one hundred miles from
Lassigny to the eastward.
No confirmation has come from
any German source of the re-
ported removal by Emperor Viii
liam of Field Marshal Won Moltke
from the post of chief of the Ger
man general staff, and the success
sion by Maj. Gen. Won Voights-
Rhetz.
The Japanese navy department
in explaining the occupation Of
the German Island of Jaluit, one
of the Marshall group, in the south
Pacific, declares the move was
made for military purposes and
not for permanent occupation.
French troops are well estab-
lished in Alsace, according to
a news dispatch from Belfort,
France, and the German forces
before them are not numerous.
Another newspaper correspondent
telegraphs that the French are
fortified in excellent positions in
the Vosges.
An official statement issued at
Vienna says that the combined
German and Austrian armies have
forced the enemy back toward the
Vistula river, and that the Rus
slams have been completely beat
en- in the Carpathian mountains.

Secretary Garrison has approved Sem

GIANT LOCOMOTIVES
PULL BIG LOADS
Recent Tests Prove New Western
Maryland Engines a Big
Success

Motive power department officials of
pleted inquiries as to the success of
the big engines recently built for the
Western Maryland Railroad by the
American Locomotive Company.
The officials were greatly surprised
at the great tractive power of these
big engines. said to be $1,000 pounds
each. They were constructed to give
the greatest possible tractfVe effort OBJ
tainable within the axle load limita-
tions.
The mechanical department of the
Western Maryland. after carefully
studying the physical conditions OF the
division on which these locomotives
are to be used, decided that the COM
paratively low factor of adhesion of
3.55 could be safely used. BY the
use of this factor of adhesion and
driving wheels 81 inches in diameter
the tractive effort of $1,000 pounds
was obtained without sacrificing boiler
capacity. 1t is, therefore, interesting
to note the work these locomotives are
doing, showing the possibilities of this
type. with relatively small driving
wheel for service where speed does not
become factor
After leaving Cumberland, east
bound, the line runs over an undulat-
ing profile, on which the maximum
grade against eastbound traffic is 0.3
per cent. for seventy-four miles to
Williamsport Md. From here 1t rises
on a / per cent. grade into Hagers-
town, about six miles. On this di-
vision the railway estimated that these
locomotives would haul 4,725 tons.
One of the locomotives recently left
Cumberland at 2.30 a. m. with ia
loaded cars. weighing 7,014 tons, and
arrived at Williamsport at 9.1S a. m.
At this point fifteen loads were set off,
and the train was given two Mallet
helpers, leaving at 1904 a. m, and ar
irving at Hagerstown at 11.05 a. m,
the crew having been on duty eight
hours and thirty-five minutes, from
the time they were called until re-
leased at Hagerstown. Many similar
runs have since been made.
