region in the upper part of the
Cerna bend and cut the railway from
Gradski, southeast of Uskub, to
Prilep, the base of the German
army operating north and northeast
of Monastir.
Enemy in Great Peril
BY cutting the railway lines the
Serbs have placed two large enemy
forces in great peril. The Bulgarians
around Doiran might retire north
eastward over the mountains in Bull
garia or north along the Nardar.
British and Greek troops are OPP
posing them on the south. The Serbs
could, however, by crossing in force
to the east of the Vardar. cut off
the best means of retreat.
Apparently the Germans around
Prilep are in a worse position than
the Bulgarians at Doiran. To retire
northward would be more over vir-
tual cowpaths towards Uskub. The
best roads lead east and west. To
the east the retreat has been cut off
while to the west the roads run toe

deuil and Vendhuile. The French,
after capturing the town and fort
of Vendeuil, pushed in to the Oise
river and, as a result. have driven a
sharp salient into the German de-
fenses between St. Quentin and Laon.
Vendeuil is one of the more distant
outposts of Laon and is the most i'm
portant point on the Hindenburg
line between ST. Quentin and La
Fere. Its capture places the French
on the west bank of the Oise and in

Nendhuile is nine miles north
northwest of ST. Quentin and on the

German strong points and rapidly

rections.

Apportionment Rule to Be Set Aside.
Plan May Help Solve Hous-

Residents of Washington who pass
civil service examinations are likely to
secure immediate appointment to -cleri-
cal or stenographic positions in one OF
the government departments engaged
in war activities, regardless Of the ap-
portionment rule, which formerly al
lotted a number of positions to each
state in proportion to population.
So great has the demand become for
clerks in the government service here
to carry on war work that the appor-
tionment rule has been definitely set
aside for the War Department, Navy
Department. Treasury Department, Blu
reau Of War Risk Insurance and War
Trade Board.
Oficials fthe Civil Service Commits
sion stated. however, that during the
war emergency residents of the District
Of Columbia or of any state who pass
the examination are likely to be ap-
pointed to any department where ad-
ditional employees are needed. regard
less of whether the quota of their state
or the District of Columbia is already
in the service.
The setting aside of the apportion-
ment rule, which makes any number OF
Washingtonians eligible for admission
to the government service, is expected
problem in addition to assisting the
government in getting the large num-
Der of employees 1t needs.
The Civil Service Commission now
feels that every employe 1t can get in

The OTHER ANGLE
Skip Stops, Etc.
BY KIRK MILLER.

Although we've been hopping around
like an ant on hot rock for the past
three days trying to guess where the
w. r. and E. cars would light long
enough for US to limp on or off, we've
got to hand it to DR.. /Beeler for sur

Beginning Monday the cars began to
act very coy when you tried to tag one
between bases. and for a while it
looked as if the system had gone COM

amputated some of the stops we've had
to run to the next corner when the
car flat-wheeled by, and Washington
is not used to running for w. r. and E.
cars-it's usually the other way.

Washington's transportation conun-

cialist. After gluing his ear to the
stethoscope and humping around all
the curves, Doc. Beeler rendered a bril-
liant decision. which indicated that we
were suffering from dandruff of the
transportation.
He has dashed off a very intricate
prescription for our cars and has past
ed full directions for taking on the
windows. But before taking a car these
n ho
has been a source of worry to some OF
our best mathematicfans.
It's all right after you've been in one
OF the cars and read the instructions,

The formula for capturing one OF
these difHdent cars isn't easy to read
when you are standing on the outside
