Samuel Rea, president of the Penn
sylvania railroad, have planned to
say some plain things to the Inter-
state Commerce Commission this

GERMANS AND AUSTRlANS HAVE
BEEN HEAVILY REINFORCED
BRITISH WIN VICTORY OVER
TURKEY
By Associated Press. /

London, Sept. 80 THE struggle
on the western front has become
clearly battle for the possession of
Lens, nine miles northeast of Arras
The capture of this town would
bring into the foreground the posi-
hility of retaking lille North of
Lens the allies hold hills 20 and 140
dominating the town. A Paris Off
cial dispatch last night said merely
that this crest had been reached
Presumably terrific counter attack
Is raging there today Today's Of
ficial dispatch relates further French
advances in Champagne. Some de-
tachments were getting beyond the
German lines, but were forced to re-
turn to positions captured in the Sec
ond German defenses because of the
heavy rifle and artillery fire. Rain,
FOG and mud are hampering the
armies.
The allies offensive, it has been
confided, stretches less than thirty
miles, but the general belief here is
that this Is merely prelude to what
is coming.
There Is the usual speculation re-
garding the shifting of German
forces from the east to the west. Re-
liable information is lacking.
Against reports that some of the
Prussian Guards were sent west,
there are rumors that Hindenburg
has been heavily reinforced. The
Austrians have apparently received
fresh troops also.
The British victory over the Turks
in Mesopotamia brings General Sir
John 'NixOn's men within 151 miles
of Bagdad. The news came unher-
aided here, as fighting there had
been forgotten. Whether the Brit
ish will try to reach Bagdad is prob
lematical. The concensus of opinion
Is that Turkish resistance is crushed
there.

were several tins of dried beef and
a can of Frankfurt sausages, the
contents of which were in good con-
dition, the cans still being sound.
Mayor Titus also found a crate of
Spanish onions, still about two
thirds full, but the onions were, of
course. badly rOtted. There were a
number OF empty onion crates, con
densed milk cases, ETC., most of the
stuff being marked to Habana or
