AIRPLANES AID IN
 INFANTRY ADVANCE
Fire More Than 28,000 Rounds
 From Machine Guns

London, Sept. 21.-The following official statement dealing with the activities of the British aviation corps during the British offensive in Elan ders was issped today by the war of- flee:
 During the first two hours of our attack on Thursday low clouds and a drizzling rain made flying almost impossible. However, our airplanes flew out at low altitude and dropped bombs on hostile airdrome near Courtrai, besides firing at bodies of German infantry. As soon as the weather slightly improved our aerial activity became greater and contact was kept with our advancing troops. and both airplanes and balloons gave observation for our artillery. On sev- eral occasions the location of enemy troops preparing for counter attack was reported to our artillery who successfully dealt with the situation.
 When the attack was in progress airp1anes fired from their machine guns over 28,000 rounds, from heights ranging between 100 and 1000 feet at German infantry in their trenches and shell holes, at endorsements coming up to the battle, at bodies of troops on roads and working behind the lines and at hostile batteries, ma- chine guns and transports. During the day 68 bombs were dropped on the Ledeghem railway station, 96 on two airdromes northeast of Lille and 103 on billets and ammunition dumps in the battle area. At night in spite of the most unfavorable weather, bombs were dropped on two towns, on the Ledeghem Roulers and Menin railway stations
 ''1n the middle of the day the Ger man aircraft became very active at tempting to interfere with our artil- lery and our bombing and low flying machines. In the evening, when the weather improved, they kept we'll to the east of the lines and were not in- clined to fight ten hostile machines were destroyed and six were driven down out of control. Ten of our ma- chimes are missing.''

Trial Division of 24,OOO Soldiers to Be
 Dispatched to Europe, President
 and Cabinet Decide.
 Picking, Monday, Sept. 17 (delayed) The president and the cabinet have agreed to the plan of sending trial division of 24,000 Chinese soldiers to France if money. equipment. and Allies have approved the proposition, and France Is eager to receive the contingent.
 The Chinese probably could reach France by Jan. 1. An abundant num- Der of fairly trained soldiers is inn mediately available for the expedi- ton.
 The premier is in favor of sending 300.000 men, and the Provincial au- thorities are heartily in support of the plan in the event that the Canton Provisional government gives its ap- proval of the war with Germany
 The Chinese soldiers probably will be used as second line force in France until they are better trained in the latest methods of warfare. President Feng Kuo- chang has cabled congratulations to President Poin- care on the French success at Yer dun. The Chinese newspapers also are enthusiastically praising France, and urging China to send troops to aid her.

BLISS IS SELECTED
 AS CHIEF OF STAFF
Succeeds Gen. Scott Who Has
 Reached Age Limit

Washington, Sept. 22.-Major. Gen Tasker H. Bliss late yesterday was named chief of staff of the army to succeed Major Gen. Hugh L. Scott, who will retire from office today.
 General Scott, who is GA years old, has reached the age of retirement, but he will imm ediately be recalled to ac- tive service. Secretary Baker said that for the present the general would be assigned to duty in connection with the training of troops in the United States but would not specify the con- mand.
 General Bliss has been acting chief of staff since General Scott left for Russia. several months ago as mem Der of the American mission. He also will reach the age of retirement on Dec 31 next. but before his ap- pointment yesterday there were intiI nations that he would remain as chief of staff for at least those three months.
 When asked concerning reports that Major Gen. Kuhn, former head of the war college and now command ing the national army cantonment at Annapolis Junction, Md, would suc- ceed General Bliss, Secretary Baker said that the question was not now under consideration.
 General Scott's assignment to duty in connection with the training of troops, it is believed, will be followed later by his appointment to a field command, possibly a division at the front He has eagerly sought such a command.
 The appointment of General Bliss to head the staff does not presage any change in that body or it's operations. so far as is known. Within the past few months nearly every member of the general staff has received a higher commission in the national army and is now in the field. the vacancies be- ing filled by new men from the line
 The new chief has been deep stu dent of military history. He was ap- pointed to West Point from Pennsyl- vania, was graduated in 1871, and won honors at the artillery school in the class of 1884. His frst assign ment to the general staff was in 1903, and he is now serving his third ap- pointuaent to that important body.
 While the appointment of General Bliss as chief of staff would come as a climax to his military career in or dinary circumstances, there is little

RAILROAD REVISES
 ITS FREIGHT BASIS
L. C. L. Consi8nments to Close at
 Regular Hour Daily

New York Sept. 22.-The New York. Now Haven and Hartford Railroad company, in the interests of increased car efficiency and regularity of hand ling less than carload freight. will discontinue in part on October 1. the practice of accepting less than carload freight indiscriminately at any hour of the day for all destinations. The officials of the Company have worked out 8 practicable arrangement govern ing the acceptance handling and forwarding of L.. c. L. business where ~by this service will be materially inn proved. Under the new plan, which has been under consideration for several months. the business of the shipper, the consignee and the comp any will be facilitated and the &C., emulation of l.. c. L.. freight at the different freight houses and transfer points will be largely prevented: This plan is known as the shipping day. arrangement.
 The shipping days for L. c. l.. freight will be regularly scheduled and adhered to. Direct cars will be scheduled from one point to another. according to the volume of freight moving. There will be daily cars from one station to another where the VOL ume of freight will warrant; tri- weekly cars where the amount of freight offered will not warrant daily m ovem ent: semi-weekly cars where the maount of freight offered witll not warrant daily or tri-weekly cars; and weekly cars where the quantity of busl- ness does not warrant more frequent service.
 Will Maintain Regular Schedule.
 These sailing or shipping dates will be scheduled and regularly main tained. When a car, for example, is scheduled to leave a freight house on Wednesday afternoon at o'clock for another designated point, that car will leave whether it is fully loaded or not. The shipper will know, there fore, that he must have his goods at the freight house before a certain hour: he will know that his freight will leave that day; and he will know , when the car is due at it's destina- tion, and he can advise the consignee accordingly.
 One of the most important features of this plas is that 1t provides for di- rect shipments between various points.

This will prevent the delay at trans fer points where heretofore l.. c. L.. freight has been generally sent for reclassification. One of the principal causes of delay in l.. c. L. freight shipments at the present time is the shortage of labor at freight houses. Under the new plan the labor short age in this particular respect will be largely eliminated: for instead of goods being sent to transfer points they will be sent direct to destina- tion.
 Operating officials of the New Ha- ven who have been developing this plan estimate that at least 1900 less cars a week will be required to move the l.. c. l.. freight than under the old system. With the enormous gov ernment requirements for rail trans portation in connection with the war this saving in car space is of vital importance. When the plan is in full operation it will mean an expansion of New Haven facilities equal to about 5000 cars a month.
 Another feature of the plan will be specified, and in many instances, earlier closing hours for l.. C. L. freight. Under present arrangements about 75 per cent. of l.. C. L. freight originating on the New Haven is de- 1ivered at freight houses after 3 p. m. Under the new plan some cars will close as early as 12 o'clock noon, while others will close at 1 D. m., 2 D. m. 3 p. m.. and p. m. This will prevent congestion and crowding in the freight houses.
 Printed Schedules for Shippers.
 At all points where this system is installed shippers will be fully in- formed as to scheduled closing hours and shipping days. and printed sched- ules showing hours and dates for shipments to all points on the New Haven system and to other lines will be provided.
 This plan will be put into opera tion at first fin the larger cities on the eastern end of the line, such as Bos- ton, Providence, Pawtucket, Woon- socket and Worcester. Representa- tives of the operating and traffic de- partm ments will be assigned to these cities to assist in the installation of the plan. In the meantime schedules will be arranged for other cities on the company's lines. It is the pur- pose of the company to put the plan Tn operation Tn all cltleS as quickly as details can be, worked out. Advance notice will be given shippers as to the time and date the new method will become effective at their stations
 In line with the improvem ents, the company has also adopted a sugges- ton of the Railroads War Board that way-bills accompany freight to pre- vent loss of small shipments en route and delay in delivering freight after arrival at destination. This also calls for certain changes in the closing time for accepting l.. C. L. freight at some of the larger stations.
 The hours for closing cars under the new plan will be determined in some instances upon train departures, and in others to relieve congestion of teams in the late afternoon and also congestion of freight houses
