Allies Will Keep at 1t
on Western Front, Says
British Military Director

LONDON, November 3.-During the
course of an interview with the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent, Maj. n.
F B. Maurice, chief director of mill
tary operations at the war office, was
asked what he thought of Field Mar
shall Won Hindenburg's statement that
the entente allies could not break
through the western front in thirty
years. Gen. Maurice replied:
Our recent offensive was not de-
signed TO break through. Its purpose
was to relieve the pressure on Verdun
and kill as many Germans as possible.
l will not undertake to say whether 1t
will take thirty years to get the Ger
mans out of France, but the allied
strength constantly is growing. and
the German strength constantly is de-
clining. The effect of the allied often
sive is accumuiative. When the weather
permits its resumption, the results Will
be greater than ever. Torrential rains
in the past week have prevented ac-
tions of any great consequence.

Change in Magazines Publication.

The American Red Cross announced
today that its magazine. beginning
with the December number, will be
published by a New York publishing
company, instead of by the organiza-
ton, and will be enlarged and i'm
proved. Membership renewal fees will
be 81, one-half of which Will go to the

This move was due partly to "ex-
traordinary increases in the cost of
material" according to the announce
ment made by Eliot Wadsworth, "ct-
ing chairman of the central committee
of the American Red Cross.
President P. T. Moran of the Wash
ington Chamber of Commerce.. as soon

the change, announced that he had
appointed committee of the chamber
to confer with the Red Cross officials
in protest against disconttnuance of

Secretary Lansing said that it was ex-

added. it was impossible to know If
Germany had violated its pledges re-
garding submarine operations.
Even though all information desired
from British sources and American sur
vivors Of the Marina were at hand, ac-
ton by the United States government
would be delayed pending Germany's
reply to the request for her version Of
the incident. In previous instances
where such a request has been made. a
week or more has elapsed before the
attacking submarine has come in and
several days further have been needed
to collect and transmit the information.

TO SELECTION
Of GAS STOCK TRUSTEE
Georgetown Company Does Not
Want American Security and
Trust Named by Court.

Objections to the naming of the

shares of the stock of the Georgetown

recently determined was being held i'm
properly by the Washington Gas Light
Company. were presented today to the
District Supreme Court by attorneys
for the Georgetown company and for
Thomas j.. Hume, a stockholder in the
Washington company
The lawyers also objected to a pro-
posed sale in bulk and to a provision to
sell either at public or private sale.
They asked that proportional lots be
offered and only at public sale.
The objections were made late this
afternoon at hearing afforded by
Justices Gould and Stafford for sug-
gestions as to the form OF decree to
be signed in reference to the sale of
the stock. The court reached no de-
cision, but held the matter under ad-
visement.
Attorneys J. J. Darlington and Benja-
min s. Minor for the Washington COM
pany offered a decree naming the
American Security and Trust Com
pany as trustee and directing a sale
in bulk OF the shares either privately
Or at auction.
Attorney William J. Johnson, for

the trust company because one of it's
vice presidents, Howard S. Reside, is
president of the gas company and

naming of the American Security and

Attorney Darlington defended his
suggestion of the American Security

pointed out that the company is trustee
under bond issue of the gas company
and is entitled by law to sell any Of
the property pledged under that mort
gage.
He also pointed out that sale in

A|D0F TRAVELLING
PUBLIC IS SOUGHT
cooperation Held Essential in
Solving D. C. Street Car
Service Problems.
AVERAGE SERVICE Is BASIS

With the public utilities commission
and street railway companies en-
deavoring to bring about satisfactory
results under the operation of the new
service standard, plans are to be con-
sidered shortly. it was stated today.
for obtaining the cooperation Of the
public in solving traffic problems.
One of the first things to be attempt
ed is to get the public to acquire the
move forward" habit. The street rail-
way companies have been work ng
hard on this proposition for some time,
and now the commission is planning to
take a hand in the matter. Not cnly
is much space sacrificed by passengers
insisting on crowding the car en-
frances. but schedules are delayed be-
cause Of the time required by the con-
ductor in getting the patrons to move
forward and relieve the congestion.
Cooperation by the public in this mat
ter would help greatly in making the
new standard a success 1t is believed.
While the commission believes the
public may be under misconception
as to the requirements of this stand
ard, no complaints of service failing to
measure up to the standard have been
received.

Held of No Importance.

Forts Douaumont and Vaux, it was
explained, formed such a material ele-
ment in the defense of Verdun as long
as they remained with unimpaired
armament in french hands that they
had to be put out of action in order to
cripple the fortress, and once this was
accomplished the ruins of the forts
with the armaments removed, pos
sessed no such importance to the Ger
mans and served chiefly as targets for
the French artillery.
Now that Fort DoEaumont had passed
again into French possession. Fort
Vaux no longer, in the opinion Of the
German leaders, justified the heavy
sacrifices necessary to retain the ground
about the fort, which is i'll adapted to
defense against attacks from the south
and west. Fort Vaux was therefore
abandoned, and the German lines re-
tired to positions less exposed to the
French artillery.
