No Car Famine Here

| was reading about the freigh
car famine and how some mer-
chants went to the wall because
thep couldn't get the goods they
had ordered on time. One fellow
wrote letter to the editor of his
local paper and it was such a good
description of freight car that
the editor put it in. The article
said that a freight car was "like a
bird, mighty scarce when you
want 'em and usually flying the
wrong way, They congregate in
punches on side-tracks, where
some of the companies have large
focks of them domesticated and
guard them closely during the
closed season. They resemble the
ostrich, for they take in everything
and kick hard when pushed to-
gether. A we'll creased switch
crew is about the only thing that
can start a band of these birds,
but when they get going they will
follow their leader like geese" But
want to tell you that my boss
1idn't get caught in any car
or any other kind of
famine. | guess he's lucky; if not,
he's looking very cheerful and

. THE WAR AT A GLANCE.


The entente powers must fight
on until they have reached the end
they set out to attain when they
accepted Germany's challenge to
civilization, declared David Lloyd
George, the British premier in .
speech at Glasgow today. To per-
NIT the war to come to an end q
single hour sooner would be the
greatest disaster that ever befell
mankind" he added.
These utterances possess notable
Significance at this moment, when
there have been suggestions that
the allied powers fighting Germany
might agree to some revision OF
their previously declared war aims
and at a time when hints have
been coming out of Germany that
next weeks session OF the German
reichstag might witness some new
statement on the subject of peace
by Chancellor Won Bethman-Holl-
veg.
Possible point to the suggested
German peace movement is given
by reports of mysterious political
happenings within the German I'm
pire. The impression a been Civ
en- that the expected developments
would be of a dramatic nature and
the press seems to have been COM
pletely muzzled, so far as discus
sion Of political topics in con-
cerned.
In the field of military opera
tons the important developement
at present is the cumulative pres
sure which Gen. Sir Douglas Haig
is applying to the German lines
about the coal city and mine fields
of Lens.
The operation now seems to have
taken on a somewhat broader
scope, suggesting that the British
commander in chief is aiming at
the far flanks of the Lens position
in a wide. encircling movement
while keeping up the push here and
there on the immediate environ
ments of the city.
On the French front the Verdun
district has again sprung into
prominence. The Germans have
been making some gains on the
French.
