A signal honor has been conferred
upon H. c. Pribble, general claim
agent for the Santa Fe. in his election

ton has elected a president living

ment of the association to be elected

ton represented the majority in Vot-
ing Pribble served IS first vice pres
ident during the past year.

The principal aims of the members
in the establishment of the freight
claim association was to facilitate the
prompt and lawful settlement of
freight claims with claimants and be-
tween carriers; also the study of claim
causes and the application of prevent
i've measures. The rules OF the trelgh nj

mandatory except during the present
time when the railroads are under the
direction of the United States railway

ity in the claims and property protec-
ton section of the United States rail-

eral claim agent tasks for the Santa
Fe lines and work of the Freight
Claim association OF the United States,
Canada and Mexico. Altho railroad
affairs are under the direction of the
United States railway administration,
an organization of the long standing OF
the claim association, twenty-seven
years. has a record of experience
which can be of inestimable value to
the government in its Undertaking OF
directing the affairs of the roads.

Fate of German Seen
Paris. Oct. 1.-THE fate of the Ger
man defenses along the Belgian coast
and in the great Lille industrial area
has been sealed by the continued ad-
vance of the allied armies under King
Albert on the thirty mile front in
Flanders. The significance of the
evacuation of the Belgian coast line is
territory with its many airdromes and
submarine bases. The extreme right
wing of the German defenses in the
west has been wrenched away from
the protecting sea. Henceforth the
line which has been buttressed by the
sea on one end and by the Swiss from
tier on the other forcing the allies al
ways to attack frontally, can be out
fianked. While the British attack
across the Lys will bring about the
evacuation of the Lille salient. the
march of the Belgians on Client will
have a marked influence on the gem
era1 retreat in the west to which the
Germans We're irrevocably condemned
by the Flanders advance.
General Ludendorff will be obliged
to seek to re-establish his fast crum-
bling front far in the rear of the
present operations. The Lille ezieres
line will be out of the question as it
will be outflanked and Ludendorff
proba bly, will have to defend the Ger
man frontier on the line of Antwerp
Namur-M Metz To reach this line,
however, he will have to retreat swift
ly on a wide front. Such a maneuver
it is believed here would be most per-
ilous with Marshal Foch hammering
unrelentingly on the retreating armies
In any case the German commander
has to preserve at all costs the Ar
denne pivot. That is why the Ger
mans are offering such determined re-
sistance to the French north of Vou-
zieres and to the --mericans on both
sides of the Mouse To fail in defend
