CARS RUN OVER new Route
ON CITY TROLLEY Line

AS announced in THE EVENING
JOURNAL the West Eighth street
line Of the Wilmington City Railway
and the Rising Sun line Of the Peo-
pies Railway were combined into one
loop route beginning this morning.
Tho principal features of the change
arc that the cars Of these combined
lines make the p, p. & W. depot
their downtown terminus and go
west on Eighth, street. that one car
goes to Rising Sun and returns in
Seventh street and the following car
turns at Ninth and Woodlawn ave-
nue., (Fair grounds), returning down
Woodlawn avenue and in Seventh
street this order being maintained
throughout the running period.
Transfers are issued to intersect-
ing lines of both of the old conf
panies.
Upon making inquiry at the com
pany's Office this morning, IL was
learned the new routing seems to
have been readily understood with
the exception Of a few persons who
probably overlooked the fact that the
change was to become effective this
morning, but evidently this will adj
just itself within a very short time.
All cars run west on West Eighth
street under the new schedule.
Recruiting of the cars resulted in
the unusual spectacle Of Peoples
line green cars running on Market
and Eighth streets. One Peoples line
and one City Railway man made up
the crew Of each Rising Sun car.

did not provide for the surrender OF
the fortress for at least a fortnight.
The loss of Brest Litovsk makes It
imperative that the Russians surren-
der the whole OF the Brest LitOvsk
line of defense upon which the Slavs
had depended to stop the German
rush after the fall of Warsaw. KOvno
and Kovel, the extreme ends Of this
great defensive line already are in
the hands of the Austro-G Germans. The
fall of Bielostok and Grodno, the only
other points Of importance, are ex-
pected momentarily.
Capture of Brest Litovsk deprlves
the Russians Of a field base Of suf-
hcient size to serve for the operations
of the huge Russian armies. Deprived
Of their base at Warsaw, the Slavs
counted upon Brest Litovsk. No
other Russian city possesses the rail-
way and natural advantages neces-
sary for an important military base
nearer than Moscow or Petrograd.
Some military critics rated Brest
Litovsk as Of more importance to the
Russians from the strategic stand
point than Warsaw itself.
The first official advices to the war
Office carried no mention of the booty
taken. II is believed large num-
bers of cannon fell into the hands OF
the victorious armies.
