UNIDENTIFIED MAN KILLED BY
 FREIGHT TRAIN
Engineer Applies Brakes But Too Late to Prevent
 Hitting Man.

An unidentified man of about SO years of age was struck and instantly killed by Freight Train W. H. No. 1, west bound, when. it was passing through Bridgeport station shortly be- fore 1 o'clock this afternoon,
 How the mar came to be standing between the tracks when the train rushed through thhe station is a. mys- tery to railroad officials and police.
 The engineer saw the man too late to stop the heavy freight train, but he damned on emergency brakes with such force as to almost come to an abrupt stop and narrowly missed in- turing some of the crew who were flung from their seats in the caboose.
 When the body was removed from beneath the wheels of the engine the clothing was searched for any papers or other articles that would help to identify him, but all that the police were able to find was a trolley pass entitling the holder to transportation betweeen Far River and Derby and bearing the signature of John Berg. There was no address or any other letters that would give any clue as to where the dead man lived.
 Beside the trolley pass he had $6 in bills in one of his pockets. In ap- pearance he was medium build and wore side whiskers and moustache. His clothing was of dark serge and he looked as though he was a working man,

WILL EXPAND INDUSTRIES TO RELIEVE ROADS To Transfer New Orders and Plants to the Inland
 Districts. WILL DO AWAY
 WITH CONGESTION New Plan Will Stop Block ing of Railroad Lines in
 New England.
Wednesday, June 12

Washington, June 12-Steady in- dustrial expansion in the middle West and South through the placing of war orders with plants in those sections for the purpose of relieving Eastern railroad congestion and labor short age was seen today in the announce ment of new policy of contract all location by the War Industry Board and the fuel and railroad administra- tions. In the transfer of new orders and plants to the inland districts, it was pointed out, no hardship will be worked on the Eastern section.
 The district in which it is designed to prevent further expansion was outlined as follows:
 The New England states, eastern and southern New York, Pennsylva- mia and far West as Williamsport and Altoona, New Jersey, Delaware and eastern Maryland, exclusive of Bal timore.
 The aim of the War Industry Board, which passes on the larger portion of the contracts of the war and navy departments and shipping board, according to the new policy, will be to assign contracts to sections where transportation will not over tax the railroads, denude other essen tial industries of labor, and where new and less congested routes to south Atlantic and Gulf ports will be easily available. With a constant supply of coal as the basis for the rapid completion of all war work, it is expected that largep ortion of the new orders will go to the districts not far distant from the coal supply. Thus in the opinion of officials the new policy will mean an expansion of war work plants in western Pennsyl- vania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, West irginfa and other sections of the Mississippi valley and the South None of the districts, however, it was em- phasized, will be so flooded with gov ernment orders as to cause unnatural industrial booms.

Smashing the German line on the left wing, the French have advanced a mile on a front of seven and one half miles and threaten the German gains on the center and along the right bank of the Disc. At the apex of their advance the Germans are within seven miles of Con1piegne on the northwest. On the French right center the Germans have gained four miles along the Disc to Bethancourt, but apparently have not budged the Allied lines ou the left bank.
 The furious fighting which has the present German attempt since it's inception on Sunday con didier to the Disc. Regardless of heavy losses, the Germans are throw ing in divisions of fresh troops.
 In driving back the Germans on their left the French menace all the enemy gains in the center and right center of the battle line. If the French advance continues the enemy is in fair way to be caught in a pocket in the hills between the Metz and the Disc.
 Belloy, GennS wood, to the SouLn, and the heights between Courcelles and Mortemer were retaken by the French. The Germans battled stub bornly and suffered heavy losses. The French also took 1000 prisoners and several guns. Heavy fighting is talk ing place around Chevrincourt and Antheuil. This is the center of the German advance and the French hold heights to the east, south and north west.
 Berlin in it's statement of Tuesday night reported the repulse of French attacks southwest of Noypn and claimed no progress. The earlier German statement told of the capture of more than 10000 prisoners, bring ing the captures since Sunday to 18,O00 and since May 27 to 75,000.
