IN this region that the Russians on
thursday made q considerable ad-

Friday to their former position.
On the Bainsizza peateau, north
.s,t Of Gorilla, and in the region OF
Monte San Gabriel, the Italians on
Saturday advanced their lines on the
southeastern edge. In the opera
ton General Cadorna's men cap
tured more than 400 prisoners and
some machine guns.
In Champagne an din the verdun
resion the German crown prince has
made Intellectual attacks against
tae French lines. Northwest of
Rheims the French repulsed a strong
German attack in the region of LOW

right bank of the Meuse, the French
fire drove back the Germans who
eaayed an attack north of the Cau-
risres wood.
British troops, in a successful raid
into the German lines near Cherisy,
southeast Of Arras, wrecked dugouts
and defenses. Berlin officially sees
IN this effort an attack in force, and
announces its repulse with heavy
Losses. In Flanders Berlin admits
the success Of a local British attack
on the Yepres-Menin road. A Ger
man attack against Inverness copse,
IN the same region, was repelled by
the British, who also checked an at
tempt to advance north of Lange-
marck.

Washington, Sept, 16.-Congres-

tober.
Speed in the Senate alone is es-
sential to carrying this plan into eff
feet. The House has almost com
pleted its work and conferees are
making all possible haste to reach
agreements on measures that have
passed both houses.
Indications are that the Senate
will cooperate in the effort to reach
adjournment at the time tentatively
set. It rushed through the trading
with the enemy and war bond bills
last week in record time and has
taken hold of the soldiers and sail
ors' insurance bill, one of its two
remaining big measures, with an ap-
parent determination to expedite
consideration of it. Cloture may
be resorted to if necessary.

Honorable R. G.. Pleasant,
=. Governor of the State of :.
Louisiana,

1
Louisiana,
| Baton Rouge, La.
Dear Governor Feeling thai you
would be Interested in knowing wkat
is being done in our immediate sec
ton towards food supply, please be
advised, as applying to Ludington,
we have eighty-five white families.
The housewives have canned UP to
this time 1929 pints of vegetables,
consisting of beans, peas, tomatoes,
etc, and they are continuing to put
up these items, so that we estimate
there will be canned approximately
1000 pints.
A conservative estimate indicates
the white people will raise between
1000 and 1900 bushels of sweet po-
tatoes. AS applying to the colroed
population, it is estimated that they
will can 1900 pints of vegetables
and raise about 1900 bushels of sweet
potatoes.
After attending the Cut-Over
Land Conference in New Orleans our
company arranged to furnish lumber
for the construction of fences free
of costs, also allotted the land free
Of costs, to any one who desired to
put in the garden.
We hope next year to make a big
improvement on the start we have
made the present year.
Yours truly,

the war has produced may be CLEAN
ed from a report just compiled by
the Commission on Car Service
The report shows that during the
four months period between May
lst and August 31st this year, 49,
152 empty freight cars wkere order
ed in to the South and Southwest to
protect the movement of grain and
other food products and assure the
prompt delivery of the millions of
feet Of lumber needed by the govern
ment for the environments and ship
yards. Several thousand of these
cars were also used to. facilitate the
movement of phosphate rock and
other materials needed in the manu-
facture of munitions. The cotton
carrying railroads also received large
consignments of "empties" to enable
them to meet the beginning of the
cotton and cotton seed movements.
Most of the cars moved into the
South and Southwest are owned by
roads operating in other sections of
the country. They were moved,
however, regardless of ownership in
to districts where they were most
needed. The prompt compliance Of
the roads owning them with the or
ders of the Commission on Car Ser
vice averted what might easily have
been one of the worst freight conges-
tions in the history of the country,
as the lines in the South and South
west have been called upon to trans
port an unexampled volume of
freight since the United States en-
tered the war; The movement of
lumber for commercial purposes has
been unusually heavy and added to
that has been the Governments de-
mand for the $4,000 car loads of
timber needed in the construction of
the training camps for the new Ma
tional Army and the thousands of
other car loads that are being rushed
from the Southern forests to the
shipyards on the Atlantic Coast.
Coincident with the lumber move
ment, grain, melons, vegetables and
other food products have created a
for cars that would have
been impossible to meet if the rail
roads of the country had not volun-
tarily agreed to merge their compe-
titive activities and operate as one
system during the perod of the war.
This agreement made possible the
shifting of empty cars into districts
that would have been virtually buried
under the abnormal amount of |
freight accumulated in them if the
local lines had not received help |
from their competitors.
At the present time, hundreds of
empty cars are still being rushed in
to the South to assure the prompt
