Short Lines Accept
Government Contract
Without Guarantees

Washington, Sept. 22.-Represen-
tatives Of short line railroads.. re-
llnquished from federal control, in
conference with railroad adminlstra-
ton officials, have agreed to gov
eminent proposals for contract
under which small roads might re-
turn to federal management without
guarantees of fixed earnings accord
ed other roads, but with the privl-
lege of charging higher rates and
with a fair division of joint rates.
The contract proposed by the rail-
road administration provides that a
short line operate under its own
officers, keep its receipts and be
responsible for all its obligations.
Rates might be raised to the new
nationwide level without applica-
ton to the interstate commerce
commission or state commissions,
and joint rates would be divided
fairly" without reduction of the pro-
portion received under private man
agement.
Director General McAdoo at any
time might take over full opera
ton of a short line, giving it the

Germany's possession of the major
portion of this productive area fol-
lowed the signing of the treaty Of
Frankfort in 1871. Previous to the
present war Germany obtained from
the mines on her side of the from
tier 21,000,000 tons of her total an
nual PRODUCTION of 28000,000, while
France got 100000 out of total
production Of 22,000,000
Since her occupation in 1914 of
the mines on the French side of the
frontier Germany has added to her
mineral wealth the 100000 tons
annually obtained by the French,
bringing her total production from
Lorraine alone up to 100000 tons
a year.
The only practical road to this
important region, military authori-
ties agree, is the valley of the Mo-
selle. At the head of the valley and
barring the way lies Metz, ranking
with Strassburg as one of the two
great bulwarks of the German south
western frontier. Metz is a city of
10000 population, its chief industries
being the manufacturing of weapons,
clothes, shoes and hats.
As fortress Metz has been i'm
portant since the Roman era. Since
that time it has never succumbed to
frontal attack. Its present system
of Notifications includes % detached
forts which encircle the city proper.

! Offensive operations toward Metz
strike at one of the most important
German bases in the west. The city
and the twenty-eight encircling forts
comprise what has been regarded
as one of the most formidable fort.
resses in the world. Metz also is
the center of important iron fields,
which Before the war supplied
France and Germany with more than
two-thirds of the ore used by their
iron manufactures.
Metz is on the Moselle 1917 miles
east of the French border. The city
lays astride the Moselle as we'll as
on both sides of the Settle. Part of
the city is on islands in the Moselle.
To the east, north and northwest are
the iron and coal fields of French
and German Lorraine. Deprived of
these fields Germany could not con-
duct the war another three months,
| it is asserted.
The chief iron field of the Rhine
district is that of Lorraine, includ-
ing the Basin de Briey, (the center
of which is the little village of
Briey,) the greatest iron-producing
region of the world. 1t is located
mainly in Alsace-Lorraine and over
laps into Belgium and Luxembourg:
lit extends along the Franco German
frontier for thirty-hve miles, almost
up to Pont-a -Mousson. p.

Capitalization lmperilS
Nation, Declares Reed

St. Louis, Sept. 22.-United
States Senator Reed, speaking last
night before the Missouri Bar as
ISOLATION, declared that the United
States has taken greater steps
towards Capitalization than have
been taken by any nation which, has
in the past been destroyed by GEN.
tralization. :;
Every step made toward centrali-
zation of power means a certain
loss of liberty" said Mr.. Reed. 81
10 not hesitate to say that in the
present crisis we have disregarded
absolutely the constitution of the
United States. We have made long
ar strides toward Capitalization in
two months than have many nations
that have been destroyed in years,
But | believe that the genius: of the
American people will meet the sit
nation and bring our government
in good time back to her old ideals,

wide front east of the Jerusalem-
Nabulus road. The first onslaught
failed. Fighting with constantly re-
inforced troops continued the night
long with extreme violence. At
dawn the attacking force was
broken and the attack brought to a
standstill on the Jalud Wady-Abs
Uzorka line.
meanwhile on the coastal sector
the British opened a violent artillery
bombardment aided by their naval
guns. After two hours of artillery
preparation there was desperate
hand-to-hand fighting and the en-
envy succeeded in penetrating our po-
sitions between the coast and the
LYDIA ul keram railway. Because
of great numerical superiority of
the enemy we moved our troops
into positions at Tul kerum, where
fresh attacks are expected.
