exact results of the last attack.
Although the American bombers
were heavily engaged by anti-aircraft
guns, artillery and pursuit planes fol-

returned without injury.
There also was aerial activity on
the Lorraine front. A giant German
airplane yesterday flew low over our
trenches and swept the American line
with machine gun fire. -Four Amer
lean air patrols engaged a Fokker
fighting plane in the region OF Manon-

THOUSANDS WALK
FOR LACK OF CARS

While officials are disagreeing over
minor points OF the proposed "Beeler
Belt Line" thousands OF war workers
in the new buildings at Seventeenth
and B streets are forced to walk half
a mile each way daily to and from
car service. Complaints bitterly de-
nouncing this lack OF accommodation
are being received by the Public
Utilities Commission
As pointed out by The Times $4,000
Government employees are employed
In the new Potomac Park buildings
and the only practical solution to thu
traffic problem involved is still being
banded back and forth by officials.
Only One Line.
The Potomac Park section. in which
the new navy Offices are located. is
reached by only one car line, and that
line is entirely inadequate to the de-
mands made upon It. A majority OF
those employed in the various Gov
eminent BUREAUS housed in the Mall
live across town from their work.
and the volume of traffic in rush hours
Is far greater than the overburdened
car lines can handle.
According to John A. Beeler, traffic
expert. the only solution Of the prob
lem is. the establishment OF q belt
line running from Nineteenth street
northwest down B street to connect
with other lines OF the Capital Trac-
zion Company at a point below Sew
enth and B street northwest. This
line would serve primarily to relieve
congestion on lines further north and
would AFFORD q means of access to
Potomac Park buildings that Is need
ed more and moro every day.
Figures compiled by experts in the
office OF the Public Utilities Commits
sion show that 20 per cent of the per-
sons living in the District of COL
umbia live in the territory east OF
Fourteenth street northwest
Street Congestion.
The only means OF access to Po-
tomac Park for this territory is
through the congested lines Of travel
passing the corner of Fifteenth street
and Pennsylvania avenue. The OPEN
ing Of new buildings in the vicinity
Of the Monument has placed an undue
burden on the street car lines passing
the Treasury corner. and IL is a
physical imossibility to give adequate
service on the, old lines, traffic Of
1cials state.
A new line connecting the office
buildings in oPtomac Park with those
in the Mall near Seventh street would
serve to carry approximately 10000
persons every day. and relieve the
strain up town. The matter Is being
considered by Governmental depart.
mCnt heads, and an early conference
with traffic officials is expected to
result IN the establishment OF a new
car line.
