PASSENGER TRAINS TO BE
CURTAILED TO MOVE FREIGHT

WASHINGTON, D. CA good
to stay at home in 1918. In order to
release locomotives for the handling
of coal, food and munition trains,
Director General McAdoo intends to
curtail passenger facilities. Hundreds
of passenger trains now operating in
the United States will be discontinued
entirely. Mr. McAdoo expects this
action to result in dimunition of pas
senger travel.
"Travel will become so uncomfort-
able because of lack of facilities
that only those who must travel will
do So" he said in explanation of his
program.
After the outbreak of the war in
Europe the British government raised
passenger fares so per cent in order
to curtai traffic. Reports received by
McAdoo indicate that this measure
did not have the desired effect. 1t
prevented the poor man from travel
ing, even on important business, be-
cause of the prohibitive rate. The
rich man travelled any way. The re-
suit was that the business of the coun
try was injured.
At first this curtailment of passen
ger facilities is expected to drive
good many people to make long dis
lance automobile trips. This may
soon be stopped. however, as the gov
eminent hardly will permit the con-
sumption of gasoline for travel by
automobile when it considers that
travel unnecessary by rail. Increased
long distance automobile travel will
increase gasoline consumption to such
an extent that the price will soon be-
come prohibitive unless some step is
taken to prevent it, is the opinion of
officials.
Hundreds of coal cars cleared from
yards where they have been stalled be-
hind shipments Of higher preferential
ratings. were moving over eastern
roads today to relieve the acute coal
shortage in the northeast.

NO DETAILS YET ON
SINKING or LINCOLN
Danisis Expects Full Report
From Destroyer Soon.

WAsHiNGroN. June 1.-The Navy De-
partment tonight still was without de-
tails OF the sinking Of the American
transport President Lincoln yesterday
BY German submarine. Vice Admiral
Sims's delay in making more complete
reports was believed by Secretary DAN
iels to be due to failure Of his efforts
to secure information from the destroy
ers which answered the big transport 5
radio distress calls.
As the President Lincoln was some
500 miles from land on her homeward
voyage when attacked It would require
some time for the rescuers to make a re-
port with the survivors and complete re-
ports were not looked for until these
could be questioned.
Naval ofhcials here believe that II Is
entirely possible that the former Ger
man steamship was not under convoy
when torpedoed. As the ship was out
side of the ordinary limits Of submarine
warfare and was a speedy vessel the
convoy might have been dropped some
time before the attack was made.

Americans Vital Factors in
Great Struggle. Says Gen.
Bridges.
OTHER BLOWS EXPECTED
Foe May Resume Offensive in
North or Shift Forces to
Champagne.

WAsHISGroN. June !. - American
troops have become a vital factor in the
great battle in France and may hold the
balance between defeat and victory.
Gen. Bridges. head Of special British
military mission to the United States.
said here tonight in discussing the Ger
man drive.
The objectives before the Germans
the General said. appear to be three
fold: the capture OF Paris. the division
OF the main allied armies by an advance
through Amiens and the capture Of the
Channel ports.
While on a narrow and dangerous
salient. said the General. the Germans
will be In a favorable position for ad-
vance on Paris should they bs SUCCESS
full in pushing out the western leg OF the
salient and joining it up with the
Amiens salient. That. he said. appears
to be their intention, as they could be
expected to call a halt at the Marne.
In concealng their preparations so as
10 make a surprise attack, Gen. bridges
said. the Germans were aided probably
by four factors. Their preponderating
number OF divisions. good railway sys-
;em. the proximity of woods to their
frs; obiertives. whore large numbers OF
troops could be concealed. and the fact
that this front long had been organized
for attack.
The Allies must be prepared either to
see the offensive resumed in the north
soon. continued Gen. Bridges, or else to
see German divisions from the north
sent down to exploit the new success.
The battle, he added. is likely to con-
tinue for weeks and will become 4 long
drawn out struggle OF man power, with
tho first duty OF the Allies to husband
their resources by giving ground for men
where possible.
Three AppRrent ObJertives.
In making his statement GEN. Bridges
was emphatic In saying that he could
make no reliable appreciation of the
situation until news was received as
to the distribution Of the German re-
serve and as IN whether Identified ,ion
had been obtained of any divisions being

the main allied armies by an advance
through Amiens. and 3, the capture OF
the Channel ports
The present attack appears TO have
come as surprise One of the reasons
for this was no doubt that it was not
considered by the Allies as a decisive
direction for major operati ion, because
OF the possibility on this sector OF giving
an amount of ground that would be
fatal either at Amiens or Ypres. The
Germans also have concealed theii
