Bee1er Makes It Plain,

Mr.. Beeler last night complimented
the work done b. the car companies in
installing the signs and making other
pans Tor the convenience of the public
IN adjusting itself to the new arrange
ment. Discussing the practical erect
OF skip-stops, Mr.. Beeler said:
I have found many people who do
not understand how the use of the skin
stop will have the effect of adding more
cars to the present equipment Of the
street railways. Perhaps l can best
explain this feature with a concrete ex-
ample.
Take a line that is now running a
car every six minutes, the time for a
round trip being sixty minutes. In
oroer 70 insure even spacing. layover
must be added of. say. six minutes. The
number OF cars needed for running the

(the total time divided by the headway).

the sk1p-stop be put in operation and
the running time reduced Is per cent.

eleven cars will be NEEDED to do the
WORK. In other words. it will not be
necessary to wait until the manufac-
turers can build the two new cars be-
Iore the service can be increased from

Roadway, because the skip-stop has re-
duced the running time. The same num.

leased today at numerous points along
the battle zone. but up to noon little
of it worked through to the surface.
The slowing down Of hostilitfes since
the Germans suffered such a grievous
defeat Thursday has represented one
of those lulls which inevitably must
come in any battle.
There were plenty of signs. however.
that hostilities might be resumed on a
big scale at any moment. In the mean
time the allies. with their reinforced
and solidifled lines, are waiting COM
placently for the German armies to
make the next move.
Defenders Satisfied.
The defenders are eminently satisfied
with the outcome of the operations in
the last few days. Not only have they
held their lines steadily in the face of
furious attacks. but they inflicted most
serious losses on the enemy. 1t was a
bit Of shock sentimentally to pull
back from the Passchendaele ridge sys-
tenn, over which the British standard
was carried in such invincible fashion
last summer. But the wisdom Of the
move needs no defense. 1t has slowed
down the Prussian machine in the
north to a visible extent.
There will be more hard fighting in
the Kemmel-Bailleul sector. but the
German chances Of effecting a disas-
trous defeat here are much less. The
shortening of the British line has left

Stories Of the magnificent work be-
Ing done by the British airmen con-
tinue to be recorded, but none Is more
striking than a battle just fought when
q British machine. with pilot and OBJ
server, was attacked by eight enemy
planes. Terrific fighting ensued The
British plane with machine guns en-
gagged the enemy so fercely that three
hostile machines were driven down out
Of control In the first few minutes Of
the engagement The Germans were
pumping streams Of bullets into the
British plane, and the observer was
carrying on tho fight after having been
wounded in six places.
The British machine finally was SO
badly damaged that 1t caught fire and
dived steeply. The pilot and wounded
observer continued to engage the re-
naming i've German machines while
their own was descending in flames.
The British plane eventually crashed
in no mans land. over which the Ger
man infantry were firing steadily with
machine guns. The British infantry.

Kinks Anticipated.

Weather conditions, it was believed,
would determine largely whether skip
stops are to have an suspicious inaugu-
ration. 1t is taken for granted that
there will be many kinks to iron out
during the first days Of operation of the
new system, and rainy weather, with its
consequent heavy demands on the trac-
ton lines, will serve to complicate the
problems.
The companies are at work on new
schedules. which will be adopted to meet
the changed conditions as rapidly as
possible.
Public Utility Commission officials
and John A. Beeler, traffic expert, who
recommended skip-stops, ask the pub
lie to be patient while the system is be-
ing adjusted to a practical working
basis. They believe that it is going to
be immensely effective in clearing the
way for traffic and speeding up service.
but they realize the full benefits pos
sible cannot be accomplished at once
and the public is advised not to expect
too much at the outset.
Public approval was given the skip
stop plan at hearing conducted by the
commission, which now asks that the
public give the plan a fair trial and CO.
operate In every way to make it a sue
cess.
