Regulations to Be Issued by Ad-
ministrator Garfield Which Will
Apply to All Cities.

After hearings covering several days

has decided to effect saving of coal
by dimming the electric advertising
signs in the larger cities. and officials
in the office of DR.. II. A Garfield, fuel
administrator. are now working on
regulations which will be put in force

the problem is being worked out on a
national scale to apply to all cities
alike, and the regulations will not be
fixed by the local fuel administration.
Representatives of public utilities

able that the large electric signs will
not be darkened entirely. but that the
number of globes in each will be cut

posed Of. the administration will take
up the question of saving in other di-
rections, principally by cutting Off sup
plies to industries classed as non-es-
sential during the war.

FAILURE TO LAUNCH SHIPS
DUE TO STRIKE, is CLAIM
Cause Assigned by Bethlehem Com
pany for Inability to Complete
Two Government Vessels.

QUINCY. Mass. November s.-The
strike of $500 employees of the Fore
River plant Of the Bethlehem Ship
building Company is declared to have
been responsible for the failure Of the
company to carry out plans to launch
two government vessels yesterday.
Work on both vessels Is said to have
been stopped temporarily.
George Gardner. chairman of the
committee of the Machinists' Union.
asserted that the delay In launching
was due to the unpatriotic action of
the company" as shown in their atti-
tude toward the men, rather than to
the action of the strikers.
The machinists' chairman said that
the grievance of the strikers had to
do with the classification of the men
under the navy yard schedule. which
has been in effect several weeks.
Joseph W. Powell administrative
head of the Bethlehem interests. in a
statement said that in raising the pay
Of 5000 men at the plant, every man
except in one or two instances was in
creased at least to the navy yard days
rate next above his previous Fort River

ENDLESS FIGHTING

After Day for More Than
Two Months.
GERMAN RESERVES LOST
BY PAUL SCOTT MowRER-

CableRram to The Evening Star and
Chicago Daily News. Copyright. 1917.
WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES. No
vember 3.-Events on other fronts have
distracted public attention from Yer
dun. where nevertheless in the last two
months battle has been raging which
for continuity. violence and heavy
losses can be compared only with the
fighting from June Is to August Is in
the battle above the Aisne. This new
battle dates approximately from Au-
gust 20. when the French by a brilliant
offensive restored the verdun line to
approximately the same positions as
before the first German attack. on
February 81, 1916.
Advancing on twenty y-three-kilo-
meter (fourteen-mile) front, the French
retook on the left bank of the Meuse
part of Avocourt wood, Hill 304, Dead
Man hill and Cumieres wood and viii
lage. and on the right bank Samogneux,
Hill 344, Fosse and Chaume wood, with
more than 10000 prisoners The Ger
mans reply to this victory was the in
auguration of series of incessant
counter attacks against the new French
position on the right bank. These at
tacks were as costly for the Germans
as the operations on the Aisne and in
Flandera

Plea for Early Shipments.

In order that delivery OF Christmas
packages may be made before December
25, Mr.. Harahan urges that railroad Off
cials appeal to the public to make ship
ments earlier than is customary during
the Christmas season This not only will
be appreciated by the government and
the public, he declares. but will prevent
disappointment to the senders and re-
cipient because of delay in delivery.

ing the states Of North and South Caro-

An Attack Nearly Every Day.

| Since September 9 scarcely q day has
passed without an infantry attack on
these accursed slopes and scarcely a
day has passed but that the last para
graph Of the French communique re-
ferred to a violent artillery action on
the right bank OF the Meuse. For the
troops engaged these brief words mean
/, inevitably losses equal or superior to
those of n big assault, for it is one
thing to take position at the point of
the bayonet but it is another to hold
| 1t under constant bombardment. Sep
tember the Germans attacked on a
Hill 344 and took their objec-
tives, but were thrown back by a
counterattack, leaving the ground
strewn with corpses. The French cap
tured fifty prisoners.
On September 9. 10, IL. II and IS there
were strong actions in the Caurieres
region. On September "a there was an
attack on two-kilometer d.26-mile)
front between Fosse and the Chaume
wood The French center was momen-
tarily bent, but the Germans were
finally driven out, leaving 120 prisoners
in the hands of the French. Septem-
Der 25 there was an attack in the Beau
mont region and October ! vain at
tack on Chaume and Bezonvaux
Ceaseless Hammering of the Lines.
October the Germans flung three
"stosstruppen" (storming troops) be-
tween Hill 344 and Samogneux and took
| the first line trench On October and
! the struggle for the elements of this
| trench did not cease. october 6, 10 and
| IL there were attacks in the Chaume
| rel eion and on the 14th and 18th at
! tacks against the Chaume wood were
repulsed by the French. On the 21st
| there was strong but futile attack
northwest of Bezonvaux. On the gath
| an attack on Caumieres was repulsed
east of hill 344. in which the Germans
! captured the French outworks, but
| later the French retook them.
On the 25th the French repulsed an
attack on Chaume wood. The next day
| the Germans renewed the attack and
| succeeded in taking a few elements of
| the advanced trenches. German at
| tacks in the Bezonvaux region were
| repulsed on the 9th, and on the 29th
| wood and Bezonvaux front. in which
the French lost and recovered some 500
| wards of trenches north of the eau
| rieres woods.
| So the mortal struggle continues de-
/ vouring division after division. AS for
| the wear on the German divisions it
| has been fearful. From February 81
| to the end of 1916, during the height
| of their offensive, the Germans EN-
| ployed seventy-six divisions on the
| Verdun front, or an average of eight a
| of the present year they employed
| twenty-four divisions, or an average
i of twelve a month. 1t can safely be
! reckoned that each of these divisions
| suffered casualties of between 1000
| and 5000.

ITO further help the situation it IS

ship their Christmas packages week
or ten days earlier than usual. to insure
same reaching their destination before
the holiday, thus avoiding disappoint-
n1ent, both on the part of the giver as

Every step taken along the lines in

the part of the government and the
public, as efficient service of the rail-

must add to the growing esteem in
