GERMAN ARMY IS
IN GRAVE DANGER
Topography Of Country 10 Argued as
Being Against the
Teutons

London, Feb. 20.-It is held, once
resolute offensive Is offered by the
allies both on land and sea, that the
Germans will speedily be obliged to
evaeuate West Flanders, which in
cludes the littoral. A study of map
of Belgium shows that the principal
river in the west Is the Scheldt, a
broad and deep river navigable for
its entire course through the country
into France. From the Dutch from
tier through Antwerp up to Tamise,
1t Is navigable to large sea going
steamers, and after that for the usu-
al large barges. Its course from the
estuary Is, roughly, north to south
till the Notifications of Antwerp are
passed, then 1t bears west to Client,
and from that city its course goes
again southwark. Between this part
OF the river and the coast, and practi.
cally parallel with 1t, flows the Lys,
river Of little importance except In
u wet season.
! From Client to the Dutch frontier,
almost due north, Is the recently
opened ship canal to Tornouzen. The
first serious German defense Is ex-
peeted to take the line of this canal
from Sas Won Gent, on the Dutch
frontier, to Client, and to continue
the course southwark Of the Scheldt
via Audeparde, Journal Mont st.
Aubert behind the town commands
the country for many miles in all di
rections), Condo and Valenciennes.
Then via the reconstructed and for
midable fortress of Maubeuge to Hir-
son and Mezieres, and along the line
Of the upper Mouse to Metz.
The second line will probably be
as follows: Starting in the west from
the now refortified and impregnable
Antwerp, along the Scheldt and the
Ruppel up to Boom 1t runs along the
line of the ship canal to Brussels via
Vilvorde. Then southwark along
the line of the Charleroi, and from
there via the Sambre to the fortress
Of Namur and the Middle Meuse.
To those who know the country
these two lines Of defense appear i'm
pregnable, but the German staff has
something else up its sleeve. Still
taking Antwerp and the Ruppel as
point to depart" after passing
Boom and following the river Dyle W
to the unhappy city of Malines- an
already fol ,ilied position guards this
river, which runs between high banks
to the still more unhappy remains
of Louvain, and from there, still TAX
ing advantage of the Dyle, via Wayre
and Ottignies, and Gembloux to Ma
muir, there runs an extremely scienti
fie line of trenches, much of 1t rein
forced concrete. This forms a bar
rier not easily crossed; in front the
ground is prepared with pitfalls, min
ed areas, and other traps for the un'
wary; though, as yet, no entangle'
ments have been made, except near
Namur, where the whole woods have
been sawed down, with the trunks
left standing about two feet high and
a regular maze of entanglements al.
ready exists.
The country along this line is UNI
dulating, and advantage has been tax
en- to prepare emplacements for heavy
guns. Since August 5000 skilled en-.
gineers, as well as a whole army Of
laborers, have been working on these
detenses. The forts of Liege, Namur

on top of the cars in pitch-dark rail-
road yards, IA switchmen employed
by the Burlington road at Galesburg,
H., have been discharged from the
service ''for characterization"
On the night of Feb. 10 there was
an accident at the power plant and
the 20 electric arcs which ordinarily
make the switching hump as light
as day were darkened.
The switchmen appealed to Assist
ant Yardmaster Dan O'Connor and
then to Yardmaster H. T. Murray and
asked for a cessation of work until
the power plant could be repaired.
''The yards are in good condition, a
short delay will do no harm to the
slow freight" said John Boyd, a
union switchman. I'VE can soon
make up for the lost time with no
necessity for risk of life when the
lights are on again." put forward
VIM. Skoglund.
Track Leader Kelly was appointed
spokesman for the men. He told the
yardmasters that it would be like go
ing into the Jaws OF death to attempt
to work in the Unlighted yard; that
the men felt the road should have
more concern for it's workmen than
to ask them to take such a narrow
chance He pointed out that in the
dark there was no way to tell how
far in form the lead-off track the cars
might be lined, and a misiudgment of
the distance in cutting in the cars
might easily result in the men being
thrown from the brake wheel plat
forms.
The plea of the men was of no
avail. Safety first" was temporarily
missing from the vocabulary of Yard
master MurTy. The men were told to
work the yards or be fired. They

they would never again be able to
enter the service of the Burlington
road.
That the Burlington has not a
clean safety first" record is proven
by the figures in the Office of County
Coroner Hoffman. In 1914 16 were
killed by the Burlington in Cook
county alone.
In defending the discharge of the
men, E. P. Bracker, general manager
of the Burlington, said that lights
were useless in railroad yards any
way. 1T is a question if unIighted
yards are not as SAFE" he said.
Il don't know much of practical
railrOading, but it seems Unreason-
able to me that dark switching yards
should be as safe as lighted ones"
said Coroner Hoffman.
Lights are an absolute necessity
in switching yard, said r. w. Nicol,
manager of the information bureau
for the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen. 81 have done duty on the

NEW YORK. Nov. 5.-A sergeant of Marines, who was said to have been on duty when the internal machine was attached to the rudder of the bat ueship Texas some time ago, scruti- nized Robert Fay and Scholz, his brother-in-law, held in connection with alleged German bomb plots The pres ence of the sergeant at the court house revived the Texas story which previously was officially denied. He carried the internal machine alleged to have been attached to the Texas.
 Officials Investigating the cases of Fay and his alleged accomplices, stat ed that half a million dollars had been expended in an effort to prevent muni- tions reaching the Allies.

LITTLE DINNER'' < ID SOLONS Is
 LAID BARE
Sensational Testimony Concern ing Former New Haven Rail- road Presidents Methods Fea- lures Trial of Directors.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-The Little dinner" given by John Hall, former president of the New Haven to the railroad committee of the lower house of the Connecticut legislature figured in testimony at the government trial of eleven former directors of the New Haven, charged with violation of the Sherman Law. According to a letter Hall wrote, the dinner was the culmi- nation of political activities in behalf of the New Haven, which resulted in the failure of the Connecticut Trolley Company to obtain charter to build a line paralleling the New Haven. This and other letters written by Hall to obtain legislation to defeat the charter were introduced by the government to show the means employed by the New Haven to thwart competition.
 The defense will file memoranda to support their obection to the admis- sion of testimony tending to show that the so-calledj co-conspirators contemplated or actually employed methods of furtherance of a supposed conspiracy other than those mention ed in the paragraph which undertakes to describe such means and methods. The defense maintains that political activities were not mentioned in the indictment
