Existing conditions on the Bright

way and Electric Company were de-
nounced at a meeting of the Takoma
Park Citizens Association. in the Ia
koma Public Library. 9Th and Butter
nut streets. last night.
Resolutions were adopted directing
that a special committee be appointed
to confer with the Public Utilities Com
mission with a view to remedying the
defects.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of the meeting by Maj. D. S
Fletcher. He said that bad conditions
had been made worse by the removal
Of side entrance cars from the line and
substitution of lengthwise seats cars
removed from other lines and put on
the Brightwood division.
Old Cars Are Track Jumpers.
It was cited that quite frequently.
with the old worn-out cars many had
left the tracks and the numerous de-
lays were occurring daily. ]. Bond
Smith objected to the unnecessary stops
made at the Bright,vood car barn,
where the motormen constantly dis
cussed the destination of cars. few
days ago he said that as a result of
an argument as to whether the car
should continue the run to Takoma
Park or turn in, about ten cars were
tied up for half an hour. He felt that
the management Of the road should
provide the proper authority at the
car barn to regulate such matters.
The following committee was ap-
pointed to present the resolutions and
confer with the Public Utilities Com
mission: Maj. D. S. Fletcher, chair
man; Judge W. w. Warwick. H.. C.

Fortunes of War Lead
to Retirement of Well
Known Passenger Head

The merging of railroad facilities
at Hagerstown has resulted in the
removal of the general freight and
passenger departments of the Cum
berland Valley from Chambersburg
and the retirement of H. A. Riddle,
for many years general agent of the
Cumberland Valley. Perhaps there
is no other railroad man so widely
known as Mr.. Riddle. He had grown
up with the passenger department of
the Cumberland Valley and was at
when the building of the business
was in its infancy. Not only in the
railroad word is Mr. Riddle we'll
known. There scarcely has been a
single Presbyterian gathering in this
section in which he was not active
in his capacity as one of the elders
of the historic Failing Spring Pres
byterian Church. of which the Rev.
DR.. John Grier Hibben, now presi-
dent of Princeton Theological Sem
mary, was once pastor Not only has
Mr.. Riddle been earnest in church
work, but Mrs. Riddle and daughter,
Miss Elizabeth Riddle, as well. the
latter being actively Identified with
mission work within Carlisle Pres
bytery and a delegate to gatherings
in Harrisburg frequently. the last
time war activities were the theme

sistant construction manager. who
happened 10 answer the telephone.
He said he intended to stop at the
Penn-Harris. He always does what
he says. so I know he's there.
The last brick in the walls will
be laid late this afternoon, 1t is pre-
dicted by R. E. Halves, general con-
struction superintendent. The only
brickwork TO be done after this will
be the building OF chimneys and OF
the huge bake oven. This is to be
fourteen feet square and is being
built under the supervision of an ex-
pert baker. Here the toothsome
delicacies for the epicureans who eat
at the Penn-Harris will be prepared.
Three floors are practically fin-
ished and are waiting for doors.
Doors for the structure were shipped
last week and II is expected that
they will reach Harrisburg by to-
morrow. Plasters are hard at work
and are now plastering the dining
room.
In everp department of the work
rapid progress is being made and
men in charge predict that the big
building will be ready for opening
in October.

Utah Is Passing Up g.
Sports For Farming

Salt Lake City. Outdoor sports in
Utah to-day include only such pas
times as planting. hoeing and other
farm work. according to a sporting
authority who has made a canvass of
sport activities throughout the state.
Baseball in Salt Lake City. is the
only game that has managed to sur
vive the ravage of war on sportdom.
There are occasional games between
semi-pro teams in outside towns. but
these are infrequent and the attend
ance is never large.
Baseball parks are used for graz
ing purposes, according to this au-
thority, who says that in some in
stances the growth of grass is so
high that grazing cattle or ship are
hidden. There seems to be not even
mention of sports in university cir
cles. Fishing, however. still has it's
friend. but that is not strictly an ath-
letic sport.

MILLION MEN THROWN
INTO GREAT BATTLE

CONTINUED from First Page.1
began on July Is. The increase in
the number of divisions engaged In
the battle would appear to indicate
ne had since that time drawn Aeav-
lly on other army groups. 1t also
would seem that this action on his
part reflects the Importance of this
battle in the eyes of the German high
command.
Yankees Driven Back
Through the German counter blow
the Americans were driven back
from Cierges. southeast of Fere-en-
Tardenois, while TO the northwest
of Fere, the Americans also have
been forced out of Beugneux, into
which they had penetrated after
passing through grand Rozoy.
Buzancy. situated on the west side
OF the Crise river, above five miles
south of scissors, also has been the
scene of heavy fighting, and the bat
tie appears to have been general
along the line south OF that point
notably in Plessier wood, near where
the front turns abruptly to the east
On the other end of the battle line
there have been sharp enga gementS,
but reports credit the allies with
making an advance at Aubilly in the
Ardre Valley, west of Rheims. They
also forged ahead farther down to-
ward the bottom of the pocket, at
Nillers- s-Agron-Aigui
Blow of Great Violence
While these counter blows against
the allied lines are general and of
great violence. il is not believed in
London that the enemy intends to
make a real stand south of the
Nesle river. Paris, on the other
hand. seems to believe the Germans
may have fixed upon the present To-
cation of their armies as the field up
on which they will turn at bay.
There have been patrol operations
along the British front but nothing
significant has occurred there.
Little has been reported to amplify
the Copenhagen dispatch to the eff
feet that Turkey and Germany had
broken off relations. Amsterdam
advices, however. indicate Turkey
intends to pursue an aggressive
policy in the Caucasus region, the
field supposedly set aside for Ger
man exploitation. This may carry
a measure of confirmation for the
rumor that the quadruple alliance
has broken over the division of spoils
subsequent TO the peace treaties with
Russia and Rumania.

dieu, French high commissioner to
the United States, at a dinner in his
honor last night at the American
University union. Prof. George Net
tleton, of Yale University, presided
and representatives of many Ameri
can universities and colleges were
present.
The dark days are over. but there
are hard months ahead, Captain
Tardieu said:
The first great battle in which
YOUR own troops have participated
extensively has been a great victory.
The part taken by your soldiers is
we'll known in France. Every one
at the front, including the enemy.
knows we'll what the American
Army is worth and what new power
will be let loose in the course of the
next few weeks under the folds of
the Star Spangled Banner.
Hard Months Ahead
The war is not over Yet. Hard
months are ahead of us. but we al
ready have taken the initiative. As
far as numbers go the critical times
are over Win us. I nueT lHe strong
leadership of a chief who is worthy
of F'rance-Premier Clemenceau-

the time for a victorious attack has

success. In common with you Amer
leans we and our gallant allies are
standing ready for the supreme effort
The faith which is inspiring us will

Will Help to the End
William G. Sharp. the American
Am ba dor. in response said:
American soldiers could not help
being brave after such examples of
courage as displayed by
the French troops. The first million
is here. Another million will follow
with as many millions more as are
