A RAILROAD army
Will Build Up Lines Of Traffic In
France.
NINE REGIMENTS CALLED,


and At Head Of EaeK Regiment a.
Colonel Will Be Engineer Officer Of
Army-construetion Will Be Main
Work.
New YOrk.-Need for expert railroad
men to repair the lines IN France Is so
pressing that an urgent, call has been
sent out by the railroads war board to
the various roads Of Hs country for
assistance in organizing nine regiments
OF railroad men to go at once to France.
They will be part 81 the regular
army, and at the head Of each regiment
as colonel will be an engineer officer
of the army.
The plans of the board call for five
construction regiments, one shop or re-
pair regiment and three operating regi-
ments. Construction will. be the main
work of the men sent over, but the re-
pair and operating needs are hardly
less immediate. A notice sent out by
the railroads war board says:
THE French railways. are badly run
down. They need more OF less complete
rehabilitation. France has no men who
can be spared for this work. She wants
all her men at the front. Before we can
train men to go into the trenches we
can. supply Frances railroad wants.
and we can do it practically immedi-
ately. Any men we send over must be
soldiers, SO it will be necessary for the
railroad forces to enter the army.
I'VE propose to make up five con-
struction regiments of six companies
each to do this rehabilitation. Each
regiment will have an engineer officer
OF the United States army as colonel
and another officer from the army as
an adjutant. The other officers will be
made up of railroad men, except that
the commissary will be provided by
the United States army, ! Each lieuten-
ant colonel will be chief engineer of
railroad or some one else of similar
experience. The captains will be taken
from the engineers of maintenance of
way, the lieutenants from supervisors
or. road masters and the noncommis-
stoned officers from track and bridge
foremen. The privates will be track
laborers.
1.-THE pressing need just now is for
officers for these regiments. They will
require five chief engineers, thirty en-
glneers Of maintenance of way, ninety
supervisors or road masters, sixty track
foremen and thirty bridge foremen.
Each company will have $50 track la
borers and fourteen bridge carpenters
as privates. ~
1.-THE next important requirement of
the French railways is for shop forces.
They are short of men to repair their
locomotives. It is proposed to organize
shop regiment, to be made up the
same way as the construction regi-
ments, except that the lieutenant colo
mel will be q superintendent of motive
power, the captains will be master me-
chanics, the lieutenants will be shop
foremen and the noncommissioned off,
GERS gang foremen. The rest Of the
company will be made up of boiler
makers, machinists, blacksmiths and
their holnors - ....,

OWL MAKES TOWN DARK.
Ali1hts on Electric Wire, Damaging
Lighting Service.

Durham, N. CA few nights ago
about 8 80 o'clock the electric lights
OF Morgantown, N. c., began Pickering
and finally went out. It was later
discovered that little insignificant
screech owl was the cause Of the trou-
BILE, losing its life as forfeit for at
tempting to alight on an insulator.
The bird was shown on the streets
OF the town. Its wings were scorched
from tip to tip and its body was burn
ed by contact with the live wire.
When the owl al1ghted on the insula-
tor the current was started racing to
the ground, and the insulator burst.
The line wire was burned in two, and
when it fell the current was cut off
automatically at the switching station.

COAL DEALERS MUST
LIVE UP TO new Law
Administrator Says Prices
Must be Fixed Upon
His Instructions
ANNOUNCE STATE
CHAIRMEN SOON

Retail coal dealers OF this city, ac-
cordlng to announcement made today,
say they are not able to predict just
what prices are going to be charged
for coal at retail to the consumer, as
they are still awaiting further instruc-
tions from the fuel administrator. They
claim that until such instructions ar
rive they are not going to change their
custom Of selling 1000 pounds to the
ton, nor change their prices until they
get something definite from Washing
ton.
Persistence in this policy is going TO
mean that the dealers VIII find them
selves afoul of the coal administrator
for Delaware, Charles II. Ten Weeges
A few days ago Mr.. Ten Weeges issued
instructions to the dealers and showed
them clearly how they are to arrive at
their retail prices as lxed on the mar
gin OF profits in 1915 and 1916. These
Instructions were for the purpose oI
showing the dealers what they are tC
do, and they VIII be required to abide
by them.
Mr.. Ten Weeges is now in charg'
of the coal tuation in this Stave
and he. and not Washington. will
have the say in. the matter from nov
on. He said today that the dealers
will have to follow his instructions
and that II they fail to do so they
may find themselves in an unple1snn
situation There will be no furthel
instructions from Washington and q
further instructions from Mr.. Tel
Weeges as he says his original an
nouncement was as cloar and luci'
as II could be made, The local deal
ers. therefore, will have to make thei
adjustments accordingly and at once
Mr.. Ten Heeges will be ready ol
Monday, probably to announce tn
chairman Of the fuel administrative
committee for Wilmington. and at tn
same time II is expected the com
mittee will be made public The chair
man OF the committees in the othe
three districts OF the State will be an
nounced later.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
FLANDERS. Oct. 1S. - Australian
troops today forced their way still
nearer to Passchaendele, key point to
the ridge Of that name.
In their new positions the men from
the Antipodes dashed back German
counter attacks with the greatest
ease. The assaulting enemy troops
did no even reach the British lines.
The fact that today's German counter
attack mentioned was not sufficiently
strong even to reach the British lines
is OF great significance, coupled with
Field Marshal Haig's report that there
were no German counter blows at
tempted against his new positions last
night. The fact that the Germans with
held all attempts to shake the British
from their newly won ground except
for what must have been weak ef-
| fort around Passchaendele indicates
strict observance Of the new linden
burg rule as to the economical use Of
Ibis soldiers in useless attacks.

Taken with other official and rella-
