Short Line Roads;
Workers Get Raise
National Control of 1900
Small Terminal and Main
Lines Is Abandoned

WASHINGTON, July 3.-The rail
road administration announced to-
night that 563 short line railroads had
been retained under government con-
troll. All employees Of these lines will
receive the wage awards made to en-
ployes of the steam roads, and owners
will be compensated under the general
contract.
Control Of approximately 1900 short
lines, terminal roads and main line
feeders finally has been relinquished
by the railroad administration, which
was given until July l by the original
railroad control act to turn back to
private ownership roads the operation
of which by the government was not
regarded as essential.
In the meantime, Congress passed a
joint resolution extending the time for
turning back the roads 20 next Janu-
airy and providing that control of
short lines should not be relinquished d
while connecting or competing lines
were continued under government con-
troll. Some Senator's have contended
that this resolution would permit of
roads relinqulshed being taken over
again.
A delegation of Senator'S, headed by
Senator Smith, of South Carolina
called on the President to-day to urge
that he not veto the joint resolution,
which now is awaiting his action. The
President was understood TO have told
the Senator'S that he had not reached
final decision and that he first would
confer with railroad administration Of
ticials.
With 1877 main line roads already
having been retained, the number now
under government control is 720. They
include belt lines, wharf corporations.
suburban electric lines, union depots
and bridge corporations.
Decision to retain operating control
of the Pullman Company was an
nounced by the railroad administration
in an order allowing wage increases
for sleeping car conductors, porters
and maids on the same basis as the
advances recently given railroad em
ployes.
The operating department of the
Pullman Company was taken over with
the railroads, but there has been some
question as to whether it would be re-
tanned.

American Advances
Are of Great Value,
Says French Critic

PARIS, July 3.-Major de Civreux,
the military critic of the "Ma$in," lays
particular emphasis upon the import
ance of the latest successes Of the
American forces west of Chateau
Thiery. In an article on the situation
along the front, he says:
"The results obtained by the Amer
leans are of considerable value, as the
sector is important, being on the right
wing of the battle front between the
Marne and the Disc. Hence, it was es-
sential to seize the best points of re-
sistance offered by the terrain.
The western outlet from Chateau
Thierry is blocked at Hill 2O4 and
Voux, while the American position at
Belleau Wood, which has been organ
ized. commands the roads between
Paris and the Clgnon River.
THE Americans, therefore, have ac-
complished an excellent piece of work
and are ready for any move the enemy
may make"
Major Civrieux says that the Amer
ican sector at this point is thirteen
kilometres (eight miles) long, and
that the Americans have been fighting
there necessarily since the critical
daYS in MaN

Especial Dispatch to The Tribunc)
WASHINGTON, July 3.-Although a
decided increase in submarine activl
ties was noted at the commencement of
June, the middle Of that month saw n
falling off, and instead of there being
twenty U-boats at sea-thes number
heretofore maintained by Germany
they had been reduced to a dozen, &C
cordng to an official French dispatch
to-day. 1t says:
"Shipping activities IN the ports Of
during May Of 100000 tons over the
preceding month, or 7,777,843 against
7,040,309. In France the figures show
an increase from 5,046,673 to 5,709,484
for entrances and departures of vessels
Of more than 500 tons.
"a noticeable increase in submarine
warfare was reported at the beginning
Of June, in comparison with CORE
spending period in May. mainly due
to surprise attacks which took place
out at sea and off the American coast.
Of the tonnage sunk in this period
nearly half was destroyed in equal por-
tions in the Enelish Channel, the
North Sea and the European Atlantic.
"The middle of June marked fall
ing off. About dozen submarines at
lne very most were tncn 1Ound 10 ne
out at sea. whereas there had been
generally about twenty at a time. 1t
would seem that the enemy can no
longer keep up his effort at this
strength at all times and in all
places and that he needs to take breath
for fresh efforts.
"Doubtless a part of this falling off
Of the submarine offensive must be at
trbuted to the operations against the
ports in Flanders, TO the fatigue Of
the crews, exhaustion Of materials and,
above all, to the losses it has sus-
tanned, because for long time their
losses have far exceeded the additions
to the service Of new submarines"

French Strike Neu
BlolU at Scissors;
7 axe 457 Prisoners

LONDON, July 3.-The French last
night attacked the enemy's line north
west of Scissors, near the village of
Moulin-sous-Touv and drove the
Germans back nearly half mile on q
two-mile front, the War Office in Paris
announced to-day. They captured 457
prisoners and thirty machine guns in
the operation.
After heavy barrage the Germans
attacked the high ground positions
southeast of Bouzincourt, in Picardy,

Overpowered by the German guns, the
British were forced to fall back and
relinquish nearly ali of the ground pre-
viously won, the War Office stated to-
day.
Minor German thrusts at the French
lines northeast of Moncel, on the Lor-
raine front, and in upper Alsace. were
repulsed by the defending forces.
That the new enemy offensive will
fall on this extreme eastern end Of the
