Sergeant Croshaw witnessed the Amer
Scans cross the yeritable sea of barbed
wire network on Sunday afternoon while
the Americans were eastward bound. He
saw his countrymen cross trench after
Wrench by bounds until he wondered how
dnfantrymen stood the strain of shells
and machine gun fire pouring upon the
plateau. Time and again advancing in
fantrymen were compelled to halt and
cut or break down wire entanglements

with wire cutters TO complete the job
started by the artillery. Many trenches
crossed were so wide that the advancing
boldiers were compelled to take them on
n running jump or 60 down on one side
and up the other.
While the advance was slow at times,
Sergeant Croshaw explained, owing to the
trenches and wires, the former assisted
the Americans in keeping under cover.
On the east side of the Bethune-Soissons
road, the Americans took few prisoners
on Sunday. Several of the prisoners said

etr1icted the soldiers not TO talk about

names of units, even if they happened to
know them, in the event of being taken
prisoner.

These figures show an increase of per
cent in the tonnage and decrease of
per cent in the cars used. The number of
tons per car in July, this year, is S0,2 as
against 25.7 tons in the same period last
year The increase of Is per cent, If ii
were general throughout the country,
would be the equivalent of an addition bf
about $4,000 cars to the freight car
equipment of the railroads.
Although the government has recently
ordered 100000 new freight cars and
about 1000 engines have been under or
der for a long time, to provide for the
expected increase in the traffic, they can.
not be turned out in day and while
waiting for them the present capacity of
motive power and rolling stock is being
scientifically increased, not only by in
creasing the car load and train load, but
by sending the traffic over the shortest
and least resistance routes without re-
gard to the caprice Of the shipper. More
over, priority has been given to orders
for the large number of locomotives re-

quired by General Pershing for military
operations in France and the locomotive
works have been thereby prevented from
delivering promptly the engines ordered
for the railroads
In several cases the distance that
freight in transit between two important
cities formerly travelled has been short
ened by from 200 to 500 miles and in one
instance recently some 5000 cars carry
ing freight between two western cities

so as to effect a saving Of 1875 miles in
the mileage Travelled by each car. This
was the equivalent of l,754,644 ear miles,
which at six cents a car mile means
saving Of Sl05,27s
As TO the alleged movement of freight
by motor truck it can only be said that
the government is moving regular freight
and passenger trains promptly, notwith
standing the extra tax imposed on its
facilities by troop movement now aver
aging 100000 men per month, that
there is no freight congestion or delay,
that the cars supplied to the coal mines
are now in excess of the daily loadings
and that if shippers are sending their

doubtful, their action is not the result Of
lack of railway transportation.
In fact. the railroad administration
has Of late been urging merchants to
take advantage of the present carrying
ability of the railways to stock up
against their winters needs when wealth
er conditions make train operation more
difficult.
OF the other items in the Indictment of
government operation of the railways re-
ferred to it Mr.. Price remarks:
l. That the advance in the cost of
transportation is less than the advance
in wages and the price Of almost every
other commodity that society requires.
3 That through bills of lading for ex-
port cannot be issued because the govern
ment has pre.empted the ocean room and
there is no assurance that the goods can
be forwarded upon arrival at the sea

railroads no longer exists there is no oc-
