Americans are arriving with eXtraord;-

the tide will turn briefly. What re-

armies, when this superiority OF num-
bers should be theirs once more, would
be able to do what the enemy had tried
while he had the advantage and failed
to do.
He Rae never quite broken the siege

March %. Would the Allied armies in
the west prove more capable and sue
coed in effecting the break in his works?
That was the problem of this late sum-

This great war has been essentially
one long siege 1t has consisted in a
continuous defence of special works and
alternate advances by hesiegers. Above
all it has had the supreme characteris-
tic of the siege of war of attrition.
The campaign depended from the mo-

during the autumn of 1914 upon the
calculation Of numbers. The enemy had
allowed himself to be contained when he
lost the Battle of the Marine, and when
subsequently he failed to get out by the
gap against the Channel Once so con-
tanned, the issue was a question of num-
bers, the number of trained men availa-
tle and the material number For two
years he was steadily worn down. al

MUST SUE WHERE
ACCIDENTS HAPPEN

Director General Of Railroads NlcAdoo
has issued the following notice, in re-
laiion to damage suits, 10 railroads
throughout the country:
General Order No. Is.
Whereas. the act OF Congress ap-
proved March a. 1918, entitled An Act
10 Provide for the Operation Of Trans
pOriafi0n systems While Under Federal
Control provides Section iO) "That
carriers while under Federal Control
shall ~ subject to an laws and liabili-
ties as common carriers. whether .aris-
ing under State or Federal laws or at
common law, except in so far as may
be inconsistent with the provisions Of
this Act or with any order Of the Pres
ldent-But no process, mesne or iinal
shall be levied against any property
under Federal control, and
Whereas 10 appears that suits against
the carriers for personal. injuries
freight and damage claims, arc being
brought in states and jurisdictions far
remote from the place where plaintiffs
reside or where the cause OF action
arose the effect thereof being that men
operating the trains engaged in haul
ing war materials, troops, munitions, or
supplies. are required to leave their
trains and attend court as witnesses
and travel sometimes for hundreds or
miles from their work, nocessiialing
absence from their trains for days and
sometimes a week or more which prac-
lice is highly preiudcial TO the Just
interests OF the government and seri-
0usly nlerfercd with the physical
/ operation Of the railroads; and the
practice OF suing in remote iurisdic-
tions is not necessary for the protec-
tion of the rights or the Just interests
OF plaintiffs.
/ 10 is therefore ordered that all suits
against carriers while under Federal
control must be brought in the county
or district where the plaintiff resided
at the time of the accrual Of the cause
or in the county or district where the
cause OF action arose"

better make it $40 to

these. When they are
gone we have no hope

cause, while not able to
