The car-service section of the United
States Railroad administration has
emphasized the necessity for stiIl
heavier loading of fertilizer cars 10
be used for summer and fan business.
Excellent results have followed the
efforts in this direction already made
by fertilizer manufacturers and ship
pers, and the section was able to re
port that the average carload OF ferti-
lizer this spring was from 20 to 80 per
cent heavier than In previous seasons
This economy of space has saved the
equivalent of many thousands of
freight cars. In other words large
numbers of cars have been released
for other urgent wartime needs-cer-
tainly saving OF great Importance IN
these days of severe car shortage
The section feels. how ever. that even
greater saving must hc effected. prac-
ticaily every car should go out load ed
to capacity plus 20 per cent The de-
rnand for cars to move war supplies to
the seahoard is increasing daily
Every shipper must contribute his
share toward making up the extra car
supply required for government uses
There Ia only one way In which TO do
this, and that la TO load cars heavier
and thus ship the same amount of
goods in fewer cars
The section appreciates the fact that

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1s.-Steps to

GERS commissioned from civil life who
have displayed marked ability in the
service are being considered by the
general staff. Plans for the demobiliza-
ton of officers, it was learned today,
are being shaped with this end in view.
The first of the approximately
10000 men in the officers corps re-
leased will be those who are anxious
to sever completely their connection
with military life. Applications from
these men for release. officials said.
will be acted upon promptly.
Consideration, it was said, will next
be given to applications from officers
who wish to return to civil life, but to
retain their status as reserve officers,
subject to call for a period Of years.
General staff officials believe that a
large portion will follow this course,
thereby giving the United States an
adequate supply of competent reserve
offers for the first time in history.
In passing officers back into the
inactive'reserve list. care will be taken
to hold to the last officers who desire
to apply for commissions in the regular
| establishment and whose records SHOW
them to be fitted for regular army life

sociated Press)-Well into Belgium
and within a few hours march of the
German frontier on the south, Major
General Joseph r. Dickman's army
gathered itself today for another jump
into evacuated TERRITORY
The line was unchanged. In accord
ance with plan, the march has been
halted for short time, while the heav-
ier artillery, supply service and other
clements can be brought up. However.
General Dickman's headquarters were
moved on to Longuyon tonight and
corps and division commanders made
similar advances.
AS the Germans withdraw. the con-
centration of the army of occupation is
increased and not for a moment has
vigilance been relaxed. All possible tao
teal advantage is carefully taken and
the forces are so deployed that the
peaceful march might easily. in the
presence of the enemy, be converted in
to hostile operation.
Faithfully Honor Terms
The second day of the advance served
| to confirm the belief at the American
headquarters. however, that there was
no thought of treachery in the minds OF
the German general staff, and that the
terms of the armistice will be faithfully
carried out
