The plain warning of the secretary of state as to the need of restraint on the part of jitney drivers in their handling of the problem of over crowding will in all probability be needed by the offenders, who have, up to the present lime. rather been inclined to defy both law and public sentiment. The secretary means ex- act1y what he says. Overcrowding is a form of reclklessness that comes within the scope of the law and as such can be puniEGled by the for fefture of license to run car. The drivers who are wise will heed the warning. Those who are not will probably try to dodge it and come to grief in the process. There is no dis position on the part of the state5or the local authorities to deal too harshly with this new. system of transportA- tion. They do not wish to make 1t fm- possible for the jitney to do business, as is so often claimed. What they do require Is that jftney drivers. follow the rule of safety for themselves, fheIr passengers and pedestrians, even if they have to sacrifice few nfclcels to do so.-Ansonia Sentinel,

Germans Are Chained
 To Their Machine Guns

LONDON, Aug. 22. - There were torrential rains yesterday and an in conceivable miserable night for the German machine gunners at their po- sitions in shell craters filled with wa ter to their necks.
 The Germans seem to have definite ly given up trying to dig any trenches along the front where tIe British hold the high ground and the old German second line The British gunfre fills in every trench started and kills the diggers.
 Machine gun and shell crater war fare has replaced trench warfare as a means of defense against the Brit ish attack Not the Prussian Guard or the Brendenburgers but the machine gunners are now the crack corps of the Germans.
 Specially picked men take an oath never to surrender to the noted Eng fish. A report that they are chained to their guns by officers to prevent them from succumbing to any tempta tion to flee, is confirmed by witnesses who have captured them in the re- cent fighting
 The machine guns are dragged out to shell craters under cover of the darkness and during the day the gun ners lie hugging most uncomfortable positions, baked by the sun in the day and shivering and wet at night. If the least movement disclose their loca- tion by day hurricane of mortar gun fire is turned on them.
 Chained to their guns live Germans lie beside the dead in pools into which the rain has transformed their refu- ges. Some who have been captured had been days without food, isolated as they are by the continual sniping.
 The British spent yesterday con solidating the gains made on their right toward Guillamont on the pre- vious day.

WILSON HOPES FORPEACEFUL
 SETTLEMENT
 OF TROUBLE
Holds Prolonged Confer ence uiith The Heads of The Railroads And Ad- viSes Them to Consider Situation Seriously.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.- President Wilson last evening expressed his belief that some terms will be found whereby a settlement of the threatened strike will be made. A prolong- ed conference was held at which the President talked to the rail- road representatives as a man would talk to a friend, and he advised them to consider the re- suit seriously before they de- eide to reject the proposal. He . even appealed to their patriot ism, so anxious is he to settle the difficulty. A committee of the employers was finally ap- pointed to frame a reply to the proposition. This committee will meet with many others ex- pected to arrive in the city to- day aHd together will decide. However, there are many off, cials here who believe that the railroad. officials will decline the proposi on. Should they so de- eide, a .rike is the next step.
