man line on the front between
Montdidier and Noyon. An ap-
rreciable gain of ground was made
here northwest of Orvillers Sorel,
seven miles southeast of Montdidier
There are indications that the
Germans have run into serious trou-
BILE as the result of their recent
high h-handed action in the Ukraine.
The people are reported to have
turned against the occupying forces,
and dispatches from Dutch sources
report that Bavarian cavalry de-
tachments are being withdrawn
from the western front and sent
to the Ukraine.
The French hold on Grivesncs
Park, on the front south of the
Somme, is still secure. The Ger
mans are shelling the new French
positions intensely but have not Vet
attempted attacks in force. West of
Montdidier. American gunners have
been bombardmg the Germans in
the villages of Cantigny and Mesnil
st. Georges, fires resulting. South
OF TINS sector, the German guns nave
been active between Noyon and Las

American troops on the sector
northwest of Toul assisted the French
in a successful raid into the German
positions in ApremCnt forest Friday.
The American guns aided the French
and east of the raided section Amer
lean patrols made n diversion by en-
toring the village of Apremont, which
was found to be deserted.
Italian Front Active
Active artillery firing is going on
on some sectors of the Italian and
| Macedonian fronts. There also have
been patrol gements on these
fronts, but no neavy fighting.
Lying $50 TO 200 yards within the
entrance to the harbor of Ostend,
the old British cruiser Nindictive, ii
is believed, will hamper the passage
of German destroyers. Whether she
will be able to keep the submarines
/ from coming in and going out is
not yet certain, but she serves a use-
full purpose in narrowing the subma-
rine passage. The action of the tides
and the movement of silt against the
J old hulk will end to eventually close

WOMEN HELP
Plans Under Way to Trans
fer Male Emyloycs to
Other Departments

Officials of the Bur eau of Employ
ment of the Pennsylvania Railroad
in Philadelphia are working out
plans for relief in the shortage of
help. While it has been the policy
for som etime to employ women i'm
many branches. it is said that new
departments will be opened, and
positions filled by women.
The purpose is to put every de-
partment up to its standard in num-
Der of employees. TO do this IL il
planned to take the men and use
them as far as practicable in posi-
tions that women cannot fill. and
put women in their places. For some
time officials in the accounting dc
partments have been running fiftv
per cent. short.
Shortage on Main Line
On the main line there is shortage
in every branch, according to 70
ports. The State Bureau of Employ
ment has been appealed to for aid.
but due to the fact that there are SO
many government contracts under
way it, has been almost impossible
to get men to fill railroad positions.
In the opinion of one official the
wage increase now under considera-
tlon at Washington cannot come too
soon. Employees are also getting anx-
ious about their back pay. While
they do not fear it will not come.
the men would like to have it now.
Because of the shortage of help
vacations will in all probability be
cut. There may be periodical Law
offs granted, with pay, but the usual
two weeks granted station attaches
and clerks may be cut out according

Many Queer Tricks
Many queer tricks on the part of
the wind were reported yesterday
In North Sixth street the wind tore
the roof from house and left it on
the house only upside down. The
carpet was torn from under the
furniture on the third floor and
Thirteenth street, the roof was
blown 400 feet. The flag was torn
off the flag staff on the Masonic
building and planted high on a tree
in Capitol Park across the street.
The damage TO household goods
where roofs were torn off is great as
a result of the heavy rainfall. A
half inch of rain fell during the
storm.
Street car traffic on the Hill was
demoralized owing to the fact that
an entire stretch of poles in North
Eleventh street between State and
Herr were down and it was impos-
sible to remove the cars to the barn.
A large force of workmen worked all
night clearing away the debris. Many
streets were blocked and traffic re-
tarded.
Bridge Unroofed
The first bridge over the Conodo-
guinet creek above West Fairview
and Just back of Camp Hill was un-
rooted by the storm and a very old
elm tree near the bridge was up
rooted. Other damage of a minor
character from the same section was
reported.
The residences of John S. Musser,
G.. NJ. Steinmetz, II. j. Hartzler,
Harold Todd and Herman +. Kiehl,
at Washington Heights, were slight
lY damaged, outbuildines at the Kiehl

Some Figuring Necessary
on New Railroad Scale

With the announcement of the new
scale of wages will come long hours
for clerks in the various departments
OF the railroad companies. There
will be some figuring done in comput-
ing each mans earnings. Each divi-
sion on the Pennsy and Reading will
have to arrange its own wage scale
according to reports yesterday.
Many of the men say that it is
complicated and if the schedule as
outlined holds good it will require
an army of clerks many weeks to
make the calculations. With the
monthly men it will be easy enough,

ent rates to contend with it will re-
