WAR review
FOR The DAY

Heavy fighting is still in progress on
the Roumanian front, with the Russ
ians and Roumanians apparently more
than holding their own, for the time at
least, against Field Marshal Won
Mackensen's armies. Elsewhere in The
field of military operations there have
been few activities Of Importance.
This holds true of the Franco-Bel-
gian front where the quiet has beeG
broken recently only by the British
activities north of the Somme, which
have resulted in advances for them
recently near Beaucourt-Su Ancre.
Indications are not lacking. however,
that the present comparatively pacific
conditions are not likely to endure
long and in this connection the south
ern sectors of the line is being closely
watched.
Concentrate Men on Border.
The French here occupy consider
able section OF Alsace. the fighting
line touching the Swiss border be-
tween Belfort and Bafel. Concentra-
ticn Of masses of German troops
across the line from Basel has recent
ly been reported in Swiss newspapers
and q belief is said to exist in Switzer-
land that the Germans contemplate an
offensive with the object OF freeing
Alsace of the invaders.
The Swiss Federal council early this
week, while expressing confidence that
none Of the powers contemplated
violation of Swiss neutrality, ordered
the mobilization of additional troops
as measure Of precaution Both
German and France assured Switzer-
land recently that they would continue
TO respect her neutrality.
No further news of the whereabouts
of the German sea raider which has
been sinking entente ships in the
South Atlantic has been received but
the arrival at Cape Verde Islands of
the British steamer Yarrowdale, with
the crews Of eight Of the ships dis.
posed of by the raider, said to number
400 persons, is reported in unofficial
advices received at Rio Janerio.
Neither Berlin nor Petrograd today
report any notable change as the re-
suit of the fighting in Roumania. The
Germans. according to their report,
repulsed attacks north of the Suchit-
"a valley, on the Moldavian frontier.
German long range guns, the Russian
statement announces, are lombard
ing Ocna, an important town on the
Lateral railway behind the Russian
front in southwestern Moldavia,
doubtless with the object Of interfer-
ing with Russian transportation on
this line.
In eastern Galicia the Germans took
the offensive in the sector near
Zborow east Of Lemberg, but accord
ing to Petrograd were repulsed after
they had succeeded in penetrating the
Russian lines Mt one point.

MAN FAILURE"
 CAUSE OF WRECK
CREW OF BOTH TRAINS CHARGED WITH RESPONSIBILITY THAT
 COST A SCORE OF LIVES.

Louisville, Ky. Dec. 24-"Man failure caused the disaster which cost more than two score of lives when two Louisville and Nashville passenger trains came together iu a rear end collision last Thursday night at Shepherdsville, according to a statement issued tonight by B. NJ. Starks. general manager of the rail- road. In his statement which sum- marizes the findings of board of in quiry made up of railroad officials, he says The first neghgence' was the failure of the flagman and conductor of the train ahead to protect the rear of their train while it was standing on the main line at Sheepherdsville and in failing to protect it while not making schedule time before reaching Shepherdsville.
 The engineer of the fast train is also charged with negligence in that he failed to have his train under con trol as he approached Shepherdsyille so that if need be he could stop be fore passing the station. Instead of this, though he did not get the sigma to proceed, he continued at such rate of speed he not only passed the sta- ton, but ran 200 feet beyond.
 The wreckage of the train ahead was carried 800 feet beyond the point where it was hit, the statement adds
 The flagman and conductor referred to were killeed. The engineer was one of the witnesses called before the board of inquiry.
 The operator at Shepherdsville Is exonerated by the statement which says "He did everything possible in the premise"

ANOTHER STRIKE OF
 METAL TRADE UNION
INSIST ON TEN PER CENT WAGE INCREASE IN ADDITION TO THIRTY PER CENT GRANTED
 RECENTLY.

San Francisco, Dec. 24.-A strike of 10000 metal trades unionists in the San Francisco hay region seemed in evitable when members Of the two larger employers organizations voiced unanimously late today to refuse to grant the employees demands for a 10 per cent wage increase in addition to the 30 per cent advance granted re- gently by the fedral shipbuilding wage adjustment board, according to mem bers of the executive committee. The men affected are employed in indus tries other than shipbuilding.
 Fred V Me,calf secretary of the California Metal Trades Association, announced that the shops would re- main open and would eudeavor to op- crate despite the threatened strike.
 The meeting was attended lby' ap- proximately 90 members of the Cali fornia Metal Trades and the San Francisco Foundrymen's Association.
 Labor leaders said the strike would be called Wednesday and would be continued until the 10 per cent was met or the men were decisiyely beaten.
 While the meeting was in progress telegram from Howard F. Coffin, chairman of the federal aircraft pro- duction board which urged the men to defer strike action, was read,

MANY MORE OF THE
 INJURED WILL DIE
Many of Those Killed Were So Badly mutilated That Identification Was Almost lmpossibIe-Shrieks of the Imprisoned Passengers Could Be Heard for Blocks.

Pittsburgh, Pa. Dec. 2i-Sixteen persons were killed and every other one of the 114 passengers on a Knox vile street car was hurt here today when the car ran away in a tunnel which connects the South Side busi ness district with the South Hills.
 After wild dash of almost a mile through the tube the car emerged and turned over on it's side. Hospital doe tors said that a number of tine injured could not recover. The car which was of the latest low floor, steel type. was packed with city bound shoppers when it left the station at the south end of the tunnel. A minute or two later the trolley is said to have left the wire and the lights went out. At almost the same instant the motor man lost control and the car dashed down the steep grade, gaining mo- mentum with every instant as the wheels slipped along the wet rails.
 The passengers were thrown into 8 panic and their shrieks could be heard by persons in the street as the car shot out of the tube. A few feet from the mouth of the tunnel Is a short curve, but so terrific was the speed
 the car had attained, that the wheels
 at this point left the tracks
 The car instantly turned over on its side, piling the passengers in a struggling mass. It did not stop, but
 tearing along the sidewalk, struck a telegraph pole. The roof was ripped off and men, women and children
 were scattered along the roadway. Even then the wreck continued on its way and finally brought up in little confectionery store.
 Early reports placed the number of dead at 17. but a careful canvass of the hospitals and the morgue showed that 16 had been killed outright. of whom were women and one a little girl. Some of the bodies were scarcely recognizable and Identification pro- ceeded slowly.
 A statement issued by the Pitts
 burgh Railways company, which owns the Knoxville line, said the car twas of the most modern and substantial construction and equipment with every modern device for the safety of passengers. We have been unable as yet to learn just how the accident happened, but have started search ing investigation to ascertain the facts"

HEAD OF GERMAN
 GANG UNDER ARREST
PLANNED TO DESTROY GOVERN MENT DOCKS AND SHIPPING IN MOST OF THE BIG COAST
 PORTS

San Francisco, Dec 24.-Federal oltlcials announced tonight the arrest on presidential warrant of Franz Schulenburg, alleged to be head of one of the cleverest and most dan gerous groups operating on the Pa cific coast. According to army off cers, he planned to destroy govern ment docks and shipping in most of the big coast ports.
 Military authorities said Schulen- berg, under instruction from Lieuten- ant von BrinCken, formerly military attachee at the local German consul ate, purchased a ton of dynamite in Seattle about the time of the ex- plosion of barge loaded with muni- tions in Puget Sound. There is evil dence, it was stated, of close associa | tion between Schulenberg and Franz von Papen, formerly head of the Ger | man secret service in the United | States and with Ram Chandra. who is
 on trial in the federal courts on a
 charge of violating the neutrality of
 the United States.
 In January, 1917, Schulenberg and
 another agent were said to be in Los l Angeles. Shortly after this Schulen- berg, under his old Russian passport
 went to Germany. it is said and re- l ported to the head of the German | secret service.
 Returning after three weeks he
 landed in Galveston and made his way
 across country to southern California.
 He was arrested December near Santa Cruz.
 In an automobile in which Schulen- berg was caught the authorities found a Geman pistol and a high power rifle. both loaded Further inyesti- gation disclosed a cache containing 46 pounds of dynamite, three alarm clocks and attachments for detonat- ing explosives said to be the prop erty of the prisoner.
 Schulenberg deserted from the Ger man army in 1904 He was arrested in Sydney and turned over to the Gelmsn naval attache there. He was enlisted in the navy and deserted six weeks later in Shanghai He is cabinet maker by trade.

Baroness ZO11ner
 Held as q Spy
Is Wife of q German Army Officer NoW on the Front in
 F1onders.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Dec. 2i,-Bar- oness Iona Zollner of NNew York, was late today held to the federal grand jury without bond and incommuni- cado after preliminary hearing last ing two days before United States Commissioner Sam McAlester for violation of the espionage act. The baroness was arrested at local hotel last week in company with Lieutenant J, M. Spalding, 22 years of age, oflthe Sixth infantry stationed at Fort Oglethorpe, on technical charge of vagrancy Later she was taken into custody at another hotel here by United States Marshal Thompson and confined in the county jail without bond.
 Bedford Shope, l6 year old son of Baroness Zollner, and Lieutenant Spalding were placed on the witness etand at the resumption of the hear ing today. Lieutenant Spalding ad- mitted that he was in love with the baroness and desired to marry her and that he furnished her a code with

tune of Mir. Dillon of the public utili. lles' but that he had refused to in crease the prices here, and also it was known that there would perhaps De an issue made of the situation.
 When MT. Dillon received his warn. ing that the gas supply here would be cut off on January l unless the ad- yances were put into effect, then il was that Mir. Dillon took steps to get the matter into the courts.
 Mr. W, H. Martin said yesterday iu connection with the suit that it was 4 temporary injunction sought at first and that perhaps the permanency of the injunction would resolve itself into an investigation of the affairs oi the pipe line company's business. H there is real reason why the increase has to be made, the situation will be different, but unless that can be es- tablished fully, he has no doubt but that the injunction will be made per manent.
 The effect of the suit here will be watched with much interest in all the other cities of the state When they received arbitrary orders to make the increase they did so, and the in -reases are now in effect Of course the distributing companies are profit ing also by the increased price to the consumers. If the investigation that may follow here proves that the raise here is not necessary, then too it's eff feet will be echoed in the other cities of the state where the increases have been made without court process in objection.
 The increase in rates in some of the cities does not of necessity advance the use of the commodity to the smaller consumers, that the the users of a very little gas, but as soon as the consumption reaches any material proportion, the advance is made in proportion
 At this time, when the coal of the country is being conserved, the result of the suit here will carry with it double interest. If the gas supply were withehld from the people the demand for coal would be so mate rially effected that the supply would be absolutely impossible.

which 10 keep her informed of his movements mp to the time he may be called to sail for France. lieutenant Spalding also testified that he had been assisted in many ways by the baroness at various times. Spalding said that he had been expelled from Che naval academy at Annapolis on ''bills" and had to resign, and that Baroneess Zollner aided him in get ting his commission in the army.
 Baroness Zollnes Is the wife of German army officer now on the front on Flanders fro mwhom she is seek ing a divorce and admits that she had communicated with him Frequently since the declaration of war through the medium of relatives in Holland.
 The letter from the baroness to her son describes a trip to Fort Ogle- thorpe, the condition of the roads, the topography of the surrounding terri tory, the buildings erected with their small iron bed furnishings. This is regarded as the tangible evidence of the woman's violation of section 2 of the espionage act.
