Freight Cars must Keep

Excellent results have been
achieved to date, through the
cooperation of shippers, the
travelling public and the rail-
roads, in the effort to secure the
utmost use of all railway equip
ment during the war. The
Railroads War Board, issues
warning however, that it will be
necessary for all concerned to
exert renewed efforts, as the alb
normal demands upon the rail-
roads for the movement of both
troops and supplies is constantly
increasing, while the securing of
new equipment is virtually i'm
possible.
From now on $500 cars day

l.5a Col. Roosevelt Lost Ills Lefi
Eye.

In an interview given out at
Stamford, Conn, Col. Roosevelt,
who is there for the purpose of
physical training to reduce his
weight, gave out a piece of in
formation which the public has
never known before.
In high spirits, T. R., chatted
about his own boxing and wrest-
ling exploits of days gone by,
and in doing so he made a rather
astonishing revelation-that he
has not been able to see with his
left eye since he retired from
the White House, as the result
of punch which that organ re-
ceived in a friendly bout in the
Presidential gymnasium.
Il don't think many persons
know this" he explained. But
the fact is | was having a lively
bout one day with a husky young

swing and landed on my left eye.

haven't seen from it since"
He laughed heartily at the
memory of the fight but kept the
name of his opponent to himself.

While the allied troops were
busily engaged in consolidating
positions won Monday in Fland-
ers the French forces of Gen.
Petain struck a mighty and I'M
expected blow against the Ger
man line northeast of Scissors
Tuesday morning and made
some of the most important gains
since they threw back the army
of the German Crown Prince
which was besieging Verdun.
The stroke was made over a
front of about six miles, from
the east of Vauxamillen to Par
gny-Filian. Under rainy and
generally unfavorable weather
conditions the French pushed
forward all along the line, and
penetrated the German line at
one point to a depth of two and
a fifth miles. Numerous impor-
tant positions fell one by one in
to the hands of Gen. Petain's
men, and in addition more than
$500 Germans. an enormous
amount of war material and
twenty-five heavy and field guns
were captured. Courier Journal.
