Defenders Satisfied.
Vigorous Shipping Warfare.

The Germans have been rushing their
patrols forward in the Passchendaele
system as fast as possible and vigorous
sntping warface has been carried on
over the ridges of this sector. The
British marksmen. from their snug
shelters, have been reaping a rich har-
vest in the ranks of those pioneers
who have been working cautiously
westward through the old British po-
sitions.
A total Of twenty-nine fresh German
divisions. with two divisions which were
withdrawn from the Somme region.
have thus far been engaged on the
Lys front. There are fresh divisions in
reserve here Ninety-eight divisions
nave been engaged on the Somme front.
fall roughly into two classes. First, divi-
stons maintained in the line which are
relieved periodically, irrespective Of
operations. and second, those special as
saulttng divisions which pass through
the units in the line for attacks. 1t is
probable that all the fresh divisions
when they arrive are placed in the sec
ond class, SO that each section of the
front always has fresh assaulting troops.
Their casualties and state of exhaustion
would determine whether they should be
transferred to divisions holding the line
These divisions are relieved normally
every three or four days. In case an as
saulting division succeeded in an attack
IT would be followed by division which
had been holding the line, which would
take over the front while the assaulting
division rested This system appears to
have been followed by the Germans since
the opening OF the offensive.

'SK|P7STOP SERVICE
PUT IN FORCE TODAY

Your Support.
COAL AND TIME SAVER

Washington today has the distinction
of being the first city in the United
States to put skip-stops into effect
simultaneously on all its street railway
lines.
While other municipalities have
adopted the plan by "piecemeal," it be-
came a reality today for the capitals
entire traction system. Not only are
more than 100000 people interested in
it as a possible service improvement.
but the Federal Fuel Administration
will watch its effect as an economy
measure.
Estimates have been made that it
will result in a coal saving of from
10000 to 10000 tons per annum. and
If the showing Of the first few weeks
indicates any such economy is possible
the administration will urge and may
require adoption Of skip-stops for
street railway systems throughout the
country.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1918-04-21
One-Third Less Stops.

About one-third of the old street car
stops on the Capital Traction and
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany lines went out of existence last
night. Many Washingtonians had to
walk an extra block this morning to
get a car.
Throughout the night employees Of the
two companies worked through the rain
to get the new stopping signs in place.
Poles previously had been erected.
About two hundred of the permanent
signs ordered had not been received, so
that it was necessary to put up tenn
porary paper signs.
Going into effect of the new system
was preceded by the issuing of instruc-
tions by the companies to the train
men designed to make the plan work as
smoothly as possible. All conductors
have been instructed to call the name
of the street at which the car will
make its next stop, Immediately upon
leaving the previous stop. Passengers
are urged to cooperate in getting the
best results possible under the system
and to be ready to leave the cars as
soon as they come to a STOP
