q question Of operating the railroads
during the period OF the war-but II
Is a question of the post bellum per-
Tod as we'll, when railroad work must
continue to be, sufficiently, attractive
to draw constantly to 1t men Of the
right quality and caliber."
In reviewing Accomplishments OF
the government management Mr.. Nc
Adoo laid stress on the railroad ad-
ministration's efforts to move coal as
fast as mines can produce it, and de-
MED that production is limited by
lack of car supply.
"Of late cars. have been supplied
to the coal mines more rapidly than
they have been able to load Them
he said, "and 1t is probable that ade-
quate transportation for the fuel re-
quiremehts Of the nation will be
available provided the coal produc-
ton during the warm weather can be
maintained at a point that will fully
employ the cars requisitioned. The
country has been led to believe that
coal production is limited entirely by
transportation and that any shortage
is due to the railroads. This is err
roneous. The maintenance OF an
adequate coal supply depends in the
first instance upon production which
in turn is restricted in the first in
stance by shortage of labor and other
causes aside from transportation"
Up to August 1, %, 900. 600 more
tons of GOA had been hauled this
year than in the same period Of last
year, Mr.. McAdoo reported.

T0day's War
Summary
(By. the Associated Prcss)

4
As the Allied armies draw nearer
to Cambria, st. Quentin and the natur-
al defensive positions of the Germans
in the St. Gobain forest, the offensive
movement. begins to lose much of the
momentum it gained and maintained
while less important enemy positions
were being taken.
Slow progress continues to- be made
by Field Marshal Haig's British forces
in the direction of Cambria and st.
Quentin and il the operations of the
French armies under General Hum
bert and General Mangin are success
full in overrunning OF encircling the
st. Gobain massif, the German retreat

Allied counter offensive started in the
middle of July.
mediate detectives of the British fore
es in the present phase Of the often
sive movement. are almost within
striking distance. The British are
Villevque and they have captured
Roisel and st. Emile. Along the line
between Cambria and st. Quentin the
British advance has carried hem into
their old positions from which they
were driven by the Germans last
MARCH. Further advances are being
bitterly contested by the Germans.
The Germans evidently realizing
that little less than disaster would
follow the fall of the st. Gobain for
est, have stiffened their defensive by
taking advantage Of the natural posi-
tions. Strong counter attacks against
the French near Laffaux and north
Of Celles- Sur-Aisne seem to bear out
the belief that the Germans will not
give up St Gobain without a struggle.
In addition to the protection it at
fords Laon, the st. Gobaln position,
II captured, would weaken the entire

Has EVENTFUL WEEK

With the close Of the first week OF
the reorganized boys Y division,
those in charge declare that the plan
is meeting with every success.
During the week IT'S new members
have been gained. which makes a to-
tai membership Of 500. The features
of the new department which attract
a great, deal of attention are the Ii
brary, the swimming pool and the
games.
A persistent call has been made on
the library every day. Twenty-Five
books have beer loaned daily. A book
drive, to increase the ~" library,
will be staged in the nea future.
The swimming pool has also been a
center of much interest. So far only
those who are able to swim have been
given the privilege of using the pool,
but soon a schedule will be arranged,
and lessons will be given under the
supervision of a competent teacher.
The average attendance at the SWIM
ming pool has been about IS boys ev-
cry day, and it is estimated that $50
boys have taken "swims" during the

M'AD0O REPORTS
R. R. EXECUTIVE
WAGES SMALLER
In First Railroad Statement
to August /, Reviews
Government Plan.

Washington, Sept. 9.-Government
operations of railroads for the seven
months ending August / are reviewed
in the first report of Director Gen
eral McAdoo to President Wilson.
The report, made public today, re-
veals that salaries paid railroad ex-
ecutives by the. government are
much lower than received. from COM
panies nde private control, but they
have not been pruned to the COM
paratively small figures Of other Of
ficers in government service The
seven regional directors OF the rail
road administration get between
$40, 900 and $4,000 a year and fed
eral managers of individual roads or
systems varying amounts between
$1,000 and $40, 900. Although under
private control salaries ranged as
high as $4,000 for railroad presi-
dents as chief executives.
At the same time it is shown that
directors of the nine divisions of the
railroad administration, are paid sal
aries between $4,000 and $4,000
each. Mr.. McAdoo, their superior,
receives only the usual cabinet men,
bers salary of $4,000 as secretary of
the treasury, and nothing additional
as QlTeCLOT general OIL ~TdllTOdOS. "A
number of assistant divisional direc-
tors Of the railroad administration
are paid at his discretion more than
he receives.
OF the 2,325 railway officers re-
ceiving more than $4,000 under pri-
vate' management, 400, presidents and
other officers have been removed
from government payrolls-though
they may nave been retained at COM
pany expense-and the $21,320,0 600
paid officers in the aggregate under
private control has been reduced to
s15.062,O 900 by the government.
Explaining his policy of fixing SAL
aries Of executives, the director gen.
eral said:
''It is not only equitable but neces-
sary that they should be justly re-
m~unerated, and thai the reward of
brains industry and loyalty should be
sufficient to continually attract able
men to the service of the railroads
as their life's work. 1t is not merely
