FREIGHT CONGESTION
ON ?. R. R. RAILROAD


Especial TO The Richmond virginian.
Philadelphia Pa. Nov. 1s.-Ths
following statement Is authorized BY
the Pennsylvania Railroad: AFTER a
week of strenuous effort the freight
congestion which has tied up the two
chief lines OF the Pennsylvania Rail-
road system west Of Pittsburg has
been 20 much relieved that this af-
ternoon the embargoes which have
been in effect against freight from
the entire East for all Western points
reached through Pittsburg were al
most entirely removed
Restrictions still apply against
freight for tho youngstown. Ohio, dis
trict, with the exception OF coal. coke.
ore, limestone. dolomite. perishable
freight. foodstuffs for human con-
sumption and United States govern
ment freight. Otherwise. both the
Fort Wayne" and Panhandle
routes--the main Western stems
OF the Pennsylvania system.--are now
free.
The embargoes against the re-
ceipt of freight destined for the West
moving through the Pittsburg gate
way. were placed by the Pennsylvania
Railroad on November ID. They coy
cred everything except livestock. per
ishables, foodstuffs for human con.
sumption. coke and limestone. and
practically cut off the Pennsylvania
Railroad from westbound freight. al
most completely suspending western
traffic on the Star Union line, which
operates the freight service for the
Pennsylvania system for everything
passing through Ptttsburg. This
marked the first time on record or
which the Star Union line, and the
| Fort Wayne" and panhandle
routes through the Middle West, were
unable to handle business. with the
single exception of the period of TIL,
devastating foods in Ohio and neigh.
boring States in the spring Of 1919.
THE embareoes Of the Pennsyl'
| vania Railroad on westbound freigh
were not placed until this step wal
absolutely necessary, in order to pre-
vent the congestion from getting be
| yond control. Every possible efYor
| was made TO clear up the lines, and

Berlin Claims Alfies Have Had 6oo,-
900 Men Placed Hors de Com
bat on Somme Front.

Berlin, via Sayville (wireless)'
Nov. 1s.-The military critic OF the
Overseas News Agency writes:
The attacks on the Ancre and near
| Pressoire prove that the entente has
definitely desisted from its original
plan to break through the German
front on the sector Peropne-Bapaume
after one hundred and sixty-six
heavy and bloody battle days which
cost the Anglo French forces over
100000 caualtics. they are not yet
masters Of this small sector on the
Somme. Moreover. they are COM
PEELED to secure the tanks Of their ad-
vanced positions whose most salient
points are near Guedecourt and
Sailly-Sallisel and which were OBJ
tanned after great waste Of material
and men after four months and half
EFF fighting, Before they can consider
| any further advance the allies are
compelled to push back the German
| positions rallying into their TANKS In
order to avoid the risk Of getting into
J a most dangerous position In case OF
| German counter offensive.
| This Is the meaning of the French
| attacks near Pressoire and the British
| assaults on the Ancre. On the Ancre
! the German positions formed an angle
whose apex, near Saint Pierre-Divion
was already half circled. In spite of
| the permanent pressure against one
leg OF the angle around Beaumont
and Beaucourt. north of the Ancre,
and the leg Thiepval- Courcellette,
south of the brook. the British were
unable to push back the defenders
from this position. although the Ger
man trenches, approaches communi-
cations and batteries have been for
weeks under the British fianking fire.
THE tenacious resistance finally
| forced the enemy to concentrate su-
periority of men and artillery in order
to remove it Already on November
| IL tho sector Serre- Beaumont and the
vicinity of Courcelette were covered
| by strong fire which increased more
| and more.
Shot TO Pieces.
| with hail OF the heaviest calibre
| guns the German angle position was
shot to pieces by concentric drum fire
on November IL and IS. All the APP
proaches were uninterruptedly under
the heavy fire OF grenades and gas.
Finally. after gas had been blown
once more mass attack was started
on both sides of the Ancre. The
principal thrust against the heights
of Scrre and the road Serre-Sailly-
Sallisel failed after bitter hand to
hand fighting. At least seven British
divisions were engaged in this sector
Tho wing advanced partly beyond the
road to Sally. Here the British were
unable to withstand a German coun-
ter-attack. The British obtained only
a local success at the furthermost til

mont and Beaucourt, where they had
engaged five divisions.
