ORDERED
Lets Greatest Rail-
road Contract.
1,O25 the Number; $6O,0OO,OOO
the Price.

Washington, May .1.-Contracts
for 1925 freight and passenger loco
motives, the largest single order ever
placed in the history of American rail-
ways, were let today by the railroad
administration to the American Loco
motive Co. and the Baldwin Locomo-
tive works The entire order repre-
sents a cost of about 100000 or
an average price of a little less than
$4,000 for each locomotive. The
profit to manufacturers, who VIII Gi-
vide the work about equally, will be
between and 6 per cent, less than
the original bids
Six Standard Types. :
Six newly developed standard types
of engines, with heavy and light sizes
of each type, were ordered. Deliveries
will begin in July and continue thru
the year and most of the new engines,
it is understood, will be assigned to
eastern roads where the shortage of
motive power is greatest They will
bear only the initials ~. s." and iden-
Trying numbers, and will be virtually
the first lot of engines to be owned
Jointly by all railroads under govern

full quota of steel to the railroad ad-
ministration.
Baldwin and American.
Altho the railroad administration
declined to announce the precise num-
Der of engines ordered from each of
the companies, it is understood the
American company will build $50 and
the Baldwin ATS. Most of the Bald
win engines will be built at the main
plant at Philadelphia and the Ameri-
can company's order will be distrib-
uted among it's plants at Schenectady,
Dunkilk. N. Y, Paterson, N. j., Rich
mond, Va, Manchester, n. H. Pitts
burg and Providence. The order will
compel the two companies to operate
practically at capacity for the next
nine months.
The awarding of the contracts has
been long delayed because of insist
ence of John Shelton Williams, direc-
tor of purchases for the railroad adj
ministration, on lower prices than
those originally submitted, which are
said to have represented profit of
about Is per cent. The prices are a

RED CROSS PICTURE
Manager Hooper of Orpheum Opens
Campaign With Flagg Feature.

A thrilling moving picture depicting
battle field scenes. hospital views and
carrying with it love story written
by James Montgomery Flagg. was
shown for the first time at the Or
pheum theater last night by Manager
Hooper. The picture carries with it a
constant appeal to the audience to
contribute literally to the Red Cross
campaign that opens in a short time
in Topeka.
But for the parting scenes at home,
where too many tears and kisses are
spread over several feet of film, it is a
gripping and unusual picture of merit
Regular United States troops are used
and their appearance marching thru
villages in France sends the audience
into wild applause.
The picture undoubtedly will be in
fuentiai in encouraging contributions
to the Red Cross in the coming cam
pagn.

A DECISIVE CHECK
Before Ypres Hindenburg Meets
Real Defeat.
Allies Withstand Shock With
out Using Reserves.
BY ]. W. T. MASON.

New York, May 1.-The German
check before Ypres is the most deci-
sive. Won Hindenburg has suffered
since the beginning of his efforts to
reach the Flanders plains prepara-
torv for a new major advance to the
channel ports.
The ability of the allies to With
stand the shock of the German masseo
attacks without calling upon their re-
serves has now been demonstrated
Hindenburg will try perhaps two or
three times more to break thru
If. however, the northern front nolos
fast as it has done in the past twenty
four hours. the German army must
begin its process of recuperallon'
faced with defeat at a long distance
from the channel.
A Quick Halt Called.
The quick termination of yester-
days assault on the outer defenses OF
Ypres demonstrates more than any
other occurrence of the past five
weeks that Hinde1burg fears the ap-
proach of exhaustion of his offensive
power At no other time since the
German advance began has linden
burg directed the cessation of large
scale attack before some siigne al
vantage has been won. This time the
Germans we're halted in their tracks
and the effect on Teutonic morale
must be Immediate.
General Won ,Arnim, commander of
the defeated German forces. succeed
ed General Won Kluck early in the
war when the latter was removed
after his famous drive to Paris over
ran itself and contributed to the Ger
man repulse at the battle of the
Marine. The tradition of defeat to
which von Arnim succeeded has now
been emphasized before Ypres and his
own removal may shortly be expected
| if the allied lines continue to hold.
| Berlin Rejoiced Too Soon.
| Rejoicings in Berlin at the. expect
ed capture of the channel ports will
cause Won Arnim's failure to produce
a more profound reaction than other
wise. The criticisms of Hindenbure
which have begun among a minority
at home because of his slaughter OF
German manpower will now have in
| creasing weight.
| Hindenburg cannot afford to stand
still. Waen that condition is forced
on him, the fact of Germany's ulti-
mate defeat must become increasing
l1y evident to the German people.
