Joint Congressional Committee Sets
Date for Probe.

The Joint Congressional Committee ap-
pointed to investigate the general rail-
road problem yesterday decided to begin
hearings November 20. after the election
IS over.
The committee believed it could do
nothing at present on account of the
general interest of members in the cam

Some Senators and all the House
members are up for reelection, so we
determined that we would not begin this
investigation until the date named. The
scope Of the resolution under which we
viii act is very broad and the committee
can take up any phase of the railroad
question It may deem advisable.
Il am OF the opinion that the ques-
uon Of the relation Of wages to the re-
cetPts Of the railroads will be given care
full consideration"
Under the resolution creating the Joint
committee, the body is instructed to in
vestigate the subject Of government con-
troll and regulation, the efficiency of the
present system in protecting the rights
Of shippers and carriers, and all pro-
posed changes in the organization Of the

New York, Sept. 6.-Hughes' Presiden-

After a conference today between
Chairman Wilcox, Senators Weeks,
Warren and Oliver, OF Pennsylvania, and
National Committeeman Parsons, the
plans of the attack on the railroad leg
islation were outlined.
Senator Weeks said
I'VE are going to make a big issue Of

1t the raised-wage law. We shall ask the
voters to say whether they approve of a

This action was taken after Superin'

Health Officer Woodward, had recon-
mended that there be no delay. Mem

opinion that students arriving from va

JohnSzB. L.arner, prominent attorney,

guinensS IN favor OF a later opening. He
pointed out that it was unnecessary to
open the schools before the middle oi

pupils should not be called to their
studies before that time.
With the dissenting vote of superin.

with Mr.. Larner. Discussion which fol-

ALLIES HAMMER
TEUTONIC LINES
IN WESTERN ZONE
French Gain Foothold in
Three Important Villages.

CBy the International News seryieeO
London. Sept. SIN an all-day bat
tie in which. according to an estimate
of the Kaiser's war office, not less
than $4,000 allied troops were en-
gagged. the Franco-Brttish forces on
the Somme today kept hammering
away against the German lines, the
British with Ginchy as their imme-
diats goah the French aiming at
crushing in the Barleux-Chaulnes
arm OF the now famous salient.
The French again scored a series Of
highly important successes. The re-
suit OF the British efforts was rela-
tive. They hold all of their new
ground gained since the big push"
was resumed on Sunday.
Gen. Foch's troops hammered their
way forward along their whole line OF
attack south of the Somme between
BeIloy-En-Santerre and Chilly. They
gained a foothold in each of the three
villages, the possession Of which is
vital to a drive enmasse against Pc
rome. These are Belloy-En-S -Santerre,
vermandevtllers and Chsulnes.
They captured the greater part Of Bel
loy-En-Santerre, penetrating as far as
the southern section of the towns once
beautiful park, now a gruesome field
Of carnage.
In Vermendeyiuers they established
themselves firmly in the northern part
as far as the road to Estrces.
And third, they took the outskirts Of
Chaulnes village. which represents the
southwestern tip OF the salient that Is
being gradually crushed in.
This whole advance presents a serious
menace, not only to the fortress Of Per-
onne, but also to the great German rail-
way center Roye. not far to the south
west which is thus threatened with being
Outhanked.
There wereNno infantry actions on the
Franco-German front north Of the Som
me today.
The British war Office this afternoon re-
ported the completion of the seizure of
LeuZe wood, near Ginchy. The Germans
concentrated their energy against the
British today in counter-attacks between
that wood and Combles.
