PLEA AT EARLY DATE
Chairman Ainey, at City Club
Luncheon, Explains Boards
Delay

Action by the State Public Service Com
mission on the city's application for GER
tificates of public convenience for the va
rious units of the high-speed system was
publicly promised by Chairman William d.
p. Ainey today as promptly as is con-
sistent with the commissions conscientious
performance of its duties. Mr.. Ainey gave
this assurance at a luncheon of the City
Club, where he was the speaker
Chairman Ainey had concluded his pre-
pared address upon the work of the COM
mission when George b. Wells, director
in the Market Street Business Association,
inquired when the public might expect some
definite word from the commission upon
the pending certificates.
~ can assure you" replied the commits
sioner, land / know ! voice the sentiment
of every member of the commission, that
action will be taken at the earliest moment
possible consistent with the conscientious
performance of our duty"
Mr.. Ainey then went on to explain that
although the applications had been before
the Commission since the last of 1916, the
final statistical information they desired
was not submitted to them until the early
part of the present week. This information
was an estimate by Director Twining of
the cost for an independent operator to
equip the high.speed system and tables
showing the Directors estimates of the
financial results of the operation of the
various lines.
The delay by the Commission has held
up the awarding of the three contracts for
the subway delivery loop, bids for which
were opened February l. and it is likely to
delay also the awarding of contracts for
three sections of the Broad street subway
bids for which are to be opened next week
The cost to the city In interest and sinking
fund charges on transit bonds as the result
.of this inaction is estimated at approxi-
p1atply $3.50 daily

RETIREMENT RESEMBLED
PEACE-TIME MANEUVERS

BERLIN, March "a.
The German retirement began on Febru-
ary and has been carried out like
peace-time maneuver" writes the military
critic of the Overseas News Agency today
The writer says that the Germans suf-
fered slight losses but inflicted heavy cas-.
ualties upon the Allies. 1t is admitted
that much destruction was wrought and
that Peronne was burned.
A majority of the residents of the aban-
doned French town of Noyon were left
behind, it was said.
The article in part follows:
by German operations on the western
front the troops have been disengaged from
positions in Picardy they held for about
two and a half years The cavalry on
both sides has been brought in contact
and thus a completely new war situat.on
has been created The beginning of our
enterprise dates back to the evacuation of
Grandecourt on February 4, which remained
unnoticed by the English for several days
The next step was to withdraw on both
sides of the Ancre on the night of February
%. Great changes occurred during the
early days of March. First the salient near
Greyvillers and next Bapaume were aband-
oned without being noticed by the enemy
The English bombarded and attacked this
evacuated area with infantry finding to
their great surprise only empty trenches" :"
Peronne was evacuated and set on fire on
March IA, but it was not until three days
later that the British occupied it.
During this time" says the article "the
French entered Noyon. The inhabitants
were not-as practiced by our enemies
dragged away. but all possible consider
alton was shown them and a majority of
them were left behind, while all establish
ments that could be useful to the British
