Government May Operate
Roads if Pooling Plan
Fails, R. R. Men Decide
Rn Attncinted Press

Washington, Nov. 26. - Government
operation of railroads If the pooling
plan does not afford relief from the
present situation was being consider
ed here to-day as the committee OF
vice-presidents of eastern lines gath
ered to perfect general plans to put
the pooling arrangements into erect.
Congressional action would be
necessary if government operation
were to be decided on. but that has
been discussed by officials who have
been considering what steps would be
necessary if the pooling plans should
not relieve the congestion.
The operating committee OF vice
presidents which will serve under the
general direction of the railroad war
board, met to-day with the board to
work out details of the plan of pool
ing trackage and equipment of the
eastern lines.
Adopted as the most practicable
suggestion advanced, the pooling plan
will be operated entirely by the rail-
roads themselves without government
participation. If it produces results,
further steps will not be necessary.
Elisha Lee, general manager of the
Pennsylvania lines east. and A. w.
Thompson, vice-president in charge OF
traffic of the Baltimore and Ohio
were being considered to head the op-
Grating committee of vice-presidents.
1t was said that one or the other
probably would be chosen.

Germany Held in Grip
of Death, George Tells
British Shipbuilders

London. Nov. &c. - Addressing a
deputation of employers and work
men engaged in shipbuilding. who
called upon him with suggestions for
the best means of seeming the great
est POSSIBLE outpuh of new ships,
Premier Lloyd George urged better
cooperation.
I'VE are fighting for our lives" said
the premier. I'VE have terrible
struggles on hand before us, but If we
are secure on the seas, well, to use
the phrase, we have got them; they
cannot escape us.
I'VE have got them in a deadly grip
and, knowing the character of the
people of this country as l do, they
do not let go, once they have started.
That is their historical character, and
the German knows it, He is aware
that our grip is deadly one once we
begin, and he is trying to unloosen il.
"He is attempting to get us at what
he considers is our most vulnerable
point, namely. our communications on
the sea. He will not succeed. But it
depends very largely on you, and you
can get the best results only by good
will and cooperation and by throw
ing the whole of your energy and
strength into the task"

We are In fact" said he. now

Senator Stones only reservation
was that such action by Congress
should be in harmony with the policy
OF the executive branch of the gov
ernment. Although he voted against
tie declaration of war on Germany,
Senator Stone has reiterated that the
war once begun has his whole sun
port. His statement to-day was
taken as indicative of the agitation
FOR war on Germany's allies which
will face Congress when it convenes
Il week, from to-day.
There should be an understand
ing of course" said Senator Stone,
"between the two branches of the
government before any action is

To have war formally declared

as measures to prevent espionage.

undertaken until after a thorough
survey of the situation. He said
there was no doubt that in many I--
spects the new war tax law can be
improved and probably will be to re-
move inequalities and injustices. The
session, he predicted, would be a
long one.

The Sons have entered negotia-
tions with a secondhand merchant
out on Sixth street, to take his en-
tire stock of vapor baths-you know
these things you go into and light an
alcohol stove under you, and leave
youl head sticking out the hole in
the top? The secondhand man by
prodigious effort secured thirty-seven
of the baths and will deliver them to
the Sons of Rest this morning. And
that is why the delegation will call
on Superintendent Shreiner. The
Sons want permission to plant these
vapor baths on the Capitol lawn, far
enough back so that they will not
get stiff necks watching workmen
on the Penn-Harris. With knitted
helmets on their heads and a cheer
full alcohol lamp blazing under their
chairs the Sons of Rest are going to
dodge the cold.

Germans Fight With
Fury of Despair to
Hold Contested Region
By associated Press

British Army Headquarters in
France. Sunday, Nov. 25.-This
morning found the line of battle of
the weary but determined British
troops stretched in semicircie
about Bourbon wood and Bourbon
village, which nestles at the north
western edge of the forest. It was a
line which has been established in
the face of dogged resistance on the
part of the Germans who had fallen
back step by step, fighting with the
fury of dispair.
All day the opposing forces strug-
gled bitterly at close quarters for
possession of the village from which
the British were forced Friday after
gaining a footing in the rush that
took them through Bourbon wood.
Nightfall still found waves of infan-
try surging back and forth through
the streets of the hamlet and among
the houses, their crimson bayonets
telling the story of the terrible con-
fiict being waged. Gradually the
Germans fell back, the British pass
ing forward with grim persistence

1T MAY BE NECESSARY TO CLAMP
MUZZLES ON CAPITOL SQUIRRELS

A delegation of the members of
the Sons of Rest proposes calling
upon superintendent George A.
Shreiner, of the Capitol tomorrow
morning to secure permission to use
the Capitol grounds for their habitat.
It's this way:
The city's eminent chestnut ven
dors refused to congregate at Third
and Walnut streets so that the un-
official inspectors of the Penn-Harris
might occasionally warm themselves
in comfort over the charcoal stoves.
The one vendor at that corner threat
ened to move away. claiming that
under the guise of warming their
hands certain of the Sons of Rest
were surreptitiously lifting chestnuts.
So the coming of colder weather has
entailed hardship on members of
the order.

future rosy for the entire member

COAL DEALERS
SUGGEST USE OF
CARDS IN CITY
Fuel Administration to De-
eide Question at Meeting
Late Today
RETAILERS ARE RETICEN'
Relief of Anthracite Shortage
Expected Within the
Month

Harrisburg may find itself using
the much talked of coal cards" af-
ter the meeting of the Fuel Admins
tration committees regular meeting
late this afternoon, was the state
ent of q coal dealer this morning.
When Fuel Administrator HickolS
was seen, he stated that the question
would be decided at the meeting this
afternoon, when committee of coal
dealers will meet the fuel commits
sion, and decide whether the coal
cards are necessary. Walter Mont
goery is spokesman of the committee
of coal dealers, and stated this morn
ing that there was nothing to say.
At the United Ice and Coal Com
pany, which will be represented at
the meeting this afternoon, 1T was
said that the use of the coal card
is the only solution of the problem
now confronting Harrisburg in re-
gard to the coal shortage. officials
of this company said that without
the card, it will be impossible TO
take care of the small consumer, and
the heavy buyer will get more than
his share of the coal. They stated
that there have even been instances
where the buyers have changed their
names in order to receive large ship
ments of coal when they are already
we'll supplied.
.. Difference of Opinion
While there were some dealers
approached who did not think that
the coal card would make any diff
ference in handling the coal situa-
ton, the consensus of opinion was
that it ought to be given trial. 1t
seems that the committee will do
what the coal dealers think would
be best, in handling the situation.
Coal Administrator Hickok con-
ferred with the coal administration
at Washington week, and states that
relief from the anthracite shortage
can be expected in three or four
weeks, while the bituminous situa
ton is not likely to improve through
the winter. He stated that the local
committee has the whole disposition
of the matter of coal cards in its
own hands, to dispose of at its own
| discretion. While Mr.. Hickok stated
| that the situation here is not acute,
! one dealer said that he estimated
| there are now six thousand tons OF
| coal in Harrisburg, while the normal
! demands require $4,000 a month
| during cold weather.

Around Verdun. the pivot point of
the German line in France, there
has Teen heavy fighting In which
the French have been victorious.
After repulsing a strong German at
tack on the right bank of the Meuse
near hill 344, the French attacked
the enemy on a front of more than
two miles in the same region. They
occupied the first and second Ger
man lines and captured more than
500 prisoners.
From Lake Garda to the Adriatic
the Italians continue to hold the in
vading Austro-Germans in check.
Finding it impossible to break
through the line directly west of the
Piave river, the enemy has been
making very strong attacks on the
Asiago plateau, where he was de-
feated late last week in an attempt
to encircle the important Monte
Melett1 position. The fighting has
been most severe, the Italians
meeting attack with counterattack.
East of the plateau between the
Brenta and the Piave only the ar
tillery has been active. Along the
Piave the Germans are showing signs
of activity, but their efforts have not
been fruitful. Attempts to cross the
river on pontoons were crushed by
the Italian artillery fire.
