WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN
FRANCE, Nov. 26. The French
troops yesterday in one large bite to
the north of Verdun annulled all the
numerous nibbles which the Germans
have made in the French Inc since
the crown princes defeat at the end
of August. Along a front stretching
from Samogneux eastward to the
southern portion of Caures wood, the
French artillery opened heavy gun
preparation early on Sunday. which
the Germa~s evidently regarded mere
ly as an intensification of the ar;il-
lery Gre daily proceeding in this sec.
tor. Four hours later the French in
fantry went over the top and in one
dash reached the first sections of the
German line. Following the first
waves came other waves. which over
whelmed and captured more than 500
Germans who had held strongly forti-
fled positions in two ravines leading
eastward and northward into Caurdt

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE, Nov. 26.-The British today
were in possession of still more enemy
trench defenses in the region of Bulle-
court. the Germans having been forced
to withdraw somewhat at several
points to re-arrange their positions.
A considerable number of German com
munication trenches had become un-
tenable as a result of the British
drive into the enemy front lines last
week and the Germans abandoned
these for more favorable ground.
Elsewhere along the new battle
front no change in the situation has
been reported. Hard fighting still
continues for the possession of Bour'
Ion village with the British holding
the upper hand.
There was considerable artillery ac-

GOVERNMENT OPERATION OF
RAILROADS GIVEN IMPETUS BY
EASTERN TIE Up OF TRAFFIC
Special Committee Appointed
to Sit at Pittsburg to Relieve
Traffic Conditions-Special
Congressional Action May
Be Asked.
(By Review Leased Wire

WASHINGTON. Nov. 26.-Govern-
ment operation of the railroads dur
ing the war lOomed as an increasing
possibility today in the minds of Of
ficials who, with the railroad heads,
are trying to work out a plan for
relief of the eastern traffic situation
Vice presidents of the eastern lines
met here today with members of the
railroad board and worked on details
for q general pooling in the east of
as much OF the entire trackage and
equipment as considered practicable.
They named a committee to be put
in full charge OF the pool with A. ".
Thompson. vice president of the Bal
timore and Ohio. as chairman. Other
members are c. r. Gray, president OF
the Western Maryland: A. T. Dice.
president of the Philadelphia and
Reading, p E. Crowley, vice presi-
dent OF the New York Centrals Elisha
Lee. acting vice president of the Penn
sylvania Lines (east): G. l. Peck.
vice president of the Pennsylvania:
A. ]. Stone, vice president of the Erie.
The committee will establish head
quarters in Pittsburgh and viii sit
continuously until the present conges-
ton is cleared. Its first meeting will
be held there "Wednesday. The pool
ing plan calls for a joint use of tracks.
locomotives. cars and employees in the
cOngested centers.
II will not be permitted to go so
far. even the railroad heads admit. as
to threaten the revenues of any lines
and this is the point advocates OF
government operation emphasize as il
Illustrating the need of government op-
Grafton. Under government suDervis-
ion the roads could pool their profits
which. under the present circum-
stances. would constitute a violation
of the antitrust act
A pooling of profits would permit
of an actual operation of all lines as
one system and it would make little
difference whether one particular
property paid il the roads as a whole
were making money.
Government operation along the
lines contemplated by officials in IA
vor of II would net take the actual
operation from the hands OF those
now in charge of the roads. A rail
road administrator. if named by the
president would be leading railroad
man and no changes would be made
in the management of individual lines.
But the railroad administrator. cloth
ed with the powers OF the govern
ment. could take measures which the
railroad war board fears to take be-
cause of the nature of the antitrust
laws. such as the eliminating of eco
rcnvc waste due TO parallel lines.
If government operation appears
wise special legislation may be asked
of congress. although some officials
think the president has ample powers
now under the defense act.
