Austin, Tex, July 3l,-When the

nor James E. Ferguson.
Things have moved rapidly since
the day, little more than a week ago,
when Speaker F. O. Fuller, of the
House of Representatives, was in
duced to call a special session of the
House. The dispute over the legality
of the call apparently was deter
mined in the affirmative.
The grand jury Of this county re-
turned nine felony indictments
against the governor. One was for
embezzlement, one for diverting
special fund, seven for misapplica-
ton Of public funds. Several of his
appointees were indicted.

OUR COMMON CONCERN

The tendency of freight cars is to
go from sections producing raw
materials into the manufacturing
sections; and cars once entering the
Eastern and Northern hives of in
dustrial activity and war prepara-
ton, are absorbed as is water by .
sponge. ~.s
To offset and overcome this drift,
the Commission on Car Service is
empowered to arbitrarily relocate
equipment, j. e., compel ABB or C to
surrender . specified number Of
car lines Ky or z and require in
termediate lines P-D and Q to
send more Of the INTO ABB or G. en-
PITY, though the shippers and manu-
facturers on said ABB or C lines are
thereby left helpless.
In the nature of things, however,
this power must be exercised with
extreme caution in order to avoid,
through car Withdrawals, any sud-
den dislocations of business or in
reference with the production of
war munitions and supplies neces-
sary for the National defense.
Faced by the iron fact of increas-
ing excess Of demand over supply,
and recognizing fullest utilization as
possible, and only probable, avenue
Of relief, the problem Of the Com
mission on Car Service win be less
that Of relieving car famines Ill
general than it will be that Of relief
for the sectors, carriers and COM
modities in relatively greatest need.
And, it il inevitable that the yard
stick for measuring the greatest
need Of relief, aside from Govern
ment priority, win be the degree Of
the showing by commodity interest,
carriers and sections - to the utili-
sation which has bssn or win be
made or available car capacity. In
deed, the inspectors Of the Commis-
sion are already making checks Of
the records in this respect.
Aside from the manifest dictates
of patriotism, the true interest Of
both shippers and carriers lie in the
direction Of capacity loading, for the
following reasons Of enlightened
self-interest.
First:-Every time two ordinary
car lots are loaded in = single car
for an Eastern or Northern desti-
nation, one car is saved to ourselves
for other uses.
Second Every consolidation Of
two or three cars into one lessons
the risk Of delay in transit from en-
bargoes.
Third:-Every unnecessary car
kept out Of the congested districts
relieves that muct the strain on ter
minal facilities and track room;
thereby reducing accumulations and
promoting prompt releases and re-
turn Of the empties.

Greatest Battle OF War
Along Belgian Front
British And French Reach
Second Line OF Enemy
trenches

The great assault of the Entente
Allies, for which the big guns had
been preparing for three weeks in
bombardments Of unprecedented
violence, has begun in Flanders
along a front of about twenty miles,
from the region Of Dixmude to south
of Ypres around Warneton.
Starting with the first peep of day
the attack which was. carried out
jointly by the French and British
troops-the Frenchmen holding the
line north Of Boesinghe and the
British between the town and War
neton-the end of the days fight
ing found that all the Entente plans
had been carried out. The French
men were holding two lines Of cap
tured German trenches and Field
Marshal Haig's men three lines, in
addition to ten or more towns and
villages and more than $500 Ger
mans made prisoners.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Teutons had massed almost count
less numbers Of guns and numerous
divisions Of men to hold back the
foreseen onslaugh, and when the
battle broke threw both men and
guns into the fray, the British ! and
French. carried out their operations
with dash and determination. Indeed
at some paints, so determined were
the attacking forces that frequently
they passed the objectives which had
been assigned for their capture and
pressed on aud took territory that
had not been figured on for attain
ment.
