saults on the extreme northern and
southern parts of the battle field
were in continuance of the Ger
mans scheme to swing their lines
out to broaden salient which they
have driven in and thereby possibly
to enable an attempt to envelope
Amiens. The fighting east of Arras
yesterday was most desperate, espe.
cially in the region of Telegraph

quarters throughout the day. The
British held grimly to their de-

DRIVE FOR THIRD
LIBERTY LOAN TO
START APRIL 9Th

WASHINGTON, March 29.-Sub.
scription goals with each federal
reserve district will be expected to
reach or pass during the third Lib.
erty loan campaign opening April 6,
arranged yesterday by the treasury,
give the New York district 80 per
cent of the $9,OOO,00O,O00 loan total,
or $900,000,OOO as its share, the same
as in the second loan. The Chicago
district is allotted "A 1-6 per cent,
or $425,00O,OOO, and the Cleveland
district 10 per cent, or 100000, 900
In calculating the wealth and gen
eral business conditions of various
districts as the basis for the quotas,
ii was found Boston had been given
disproportionate share in the sec.
ond loan, and the districts percent
age has been reduced from 10 to
8 1-3 per cent. Cleveland, Mime
apoils and San Francisco were given
the same proportions as in the sec.
ond loan and other districts were
raised slightly.
The goals of each state, county
and city will be determined by fed
eral reserve district committees on
the basis of population, wealth and
business conditions. These will be
announced locally within a week or
two.

RAILROADS LOSE
MONEYOPERAT|NG
UNDER THE GOVT

WASHINGTON, March 29--For
the first time in many years, rail-
roads operated at loss In January,
the first month OF government con.
troll The situation is attributed by
railroad men almost entirely to the
unprecedented bad weather and
freight embargoes which reduced the
hauling of general traffic to a mini
mum and increased expenses far be-
yond normal. The deficit was suf
fered by eastern lines while western
and southern lines made small
profits.
For February the record was much
better though exact figures are not
available and the railroad admins
tration hopes to make higher earn
lngs of later months offset the poor
January showing, Otherwise the gov
ernment will lose money in compen.
sating railroads on the basis OF their
average earnings for the last three
years.
Preliminary reports from 172 of
the 1876 large roads, compiled by the
interstate commerce commission and
made public today show January
deficit in railway operating income
OF $2,227 1000 as compared with posi-
tive earnings OF $670OO,OOO in Janu
ary last year and about $57,OO0,OOO
in December--a low record for that
month.
Operating revenues were $27O23l,
600 and operating expenses $257,S6S,
900. The $12.S6s,OOO difference be
tween these items, or the net reve
nue., was more than swallowed VI
by ordinary taxes of $14.551, 600
These taxes did not include new wal
levies, which probably would amoun
to more than $1O,OOO.O00 and which
the roads must pay out of the gov
ernment compensation payments
The eastern roads deficit in operat
ing income was $17.640,0OO. compared
with net operating earnings of $24,
225,O 900 in January, 1917. For th'
western lines this was 81, 100000 al
compared with SSO,OOO,OOO the sam'
