Form Of Agreement for
Operation of Lines Is
Announced
Protests Are Needed
In Final Draft
Commerce Board Arbiter in
Questions of Fact, Courts
in Others

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-The form
of contract under which the govern
ment will pay nearly billion dollars
rental every year to railroads under
Federal control has been approved
finally by Director General McAdoo
and representatives of the leading
railroads. 1t will be offered to the
companies for signature within few
days.
Many protests of company represen-
tatives, made during long months of
discussion OF the contract, have been
needed in the final draft, it was an
nounced to-day. although some roads
may yet decline to sign it and resort
TO further negotiation, or possibly to
court action. Without q formal con-
tract during the eight months Of Fed
oral control the government has paid
90 per cent of compensation claims to
needy roads and left the rest for ad-
judication after conclusion of the
agreement.
Each of the 10 roads under Federal
management will be asked to sign the
contract. which will be identical for all,
except that the specific annual conlpen-
alton for each will be the average net
railway operating income for the three
wears ended June 80, 1917.
Commerce Board AS Arbiter
AS provision against disputes over
questions of fact the contract specifies
that the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion shall be called on TO act as

Neither can he do what sometimes is

cluded, even think if the Germans can
rot stand on the Hindenburg line
they are likely to go back to the Meuse,
with the view OF increasing the diff
ficulties of the Allies and extending
the period of grace, in the hope, so
futile, that something may turn up
through the long winter to favor their
peace offensive and to sow discord
among the Allies. To some extent
these are speculations; yet if the AL
lies succeed in taking Laon, the Ger

Of their doing this season, now that

disturbing to his equlibrium-the Hun
winter resting place surely will be
open to speculation. The Ham Noyon-
Chauny pocket is being pinched out,
and with the Allies at La Fere and on
the Western bastion of the Chemin
oes Danes. the Laon position, strong
as it is. becomes insecure, and if Laon
falls, the Boche will have no place
to so but out.
Certainly. the weather will cut
somewhat determining figure and must
be considered in any forecast. Heaven
grant il; it is favor of the cause OF
humanity. Unqucstionably. the Boche
by choice will hold the Allies on the
dcsolate wastes Of the Somme battle
field west of the Hindenburg line ali
winter if it is possible, and, though
we behold him broken and retrcating
with the initiative in our hands, we
must not delude ourselves into thinking

of resources.

not only has he had to keep step to
the Allies artillery music, but has been
obliged to throw fresh troops, held for
other service, in order that the retreat,
already rapid as they dare make it,
should not degenerate into a rout.
The thrust Of the Ally rapier so skill
fully welded by Foch, now under, now
over tho Boche guard, is exhausting
, and keeping him perplexed as to where
next the tightening riposte will land.
1--WE have no time for sleep and

bedraggled, weary German officer-pris-
oner say to his British interrogation.
1t is quite a different kind Of re-
treat from the leisurely one of 1917,
when the Germans chose the time and
final resting point unembarrassed. And
for the British, too, the advance has
been with entirely different tactics
from those employed last year. The
lesson Of that experience is not for
gotten. Then they pushed straight
ahead by sheer force of men and guns
and at great cost; now they go
around instead of straight ahead, with
speedier results and at infinitely less
cost.
Remembering the plunging Of the
British in 1917, the Boches are setting
many traps in prepared positions, where
the worn, rctreatint- troopc woro ra
placed by fresh men-in devilshly in
genious mines set off electrically by
contact with some innocent appearins

the heavily armed, cunningly concealed
machine gun nests which Americans
have had to face so much.
But the previous experience in the
Somme fighting has borne fruit, and
the British, moving carefully, now deal
with such point Of surprise, when
reached, by fankng. and so have come
through with normal casualties, not to
be compared with the losses of last
year. Relatively light casualties, in
deed, rule also with the French and
Americans in this continuing counter
offensive through the high development
OF thanking under tho expert direction
of foch.
Machine guns continue to be the
main reliance of the Germans in thcj,
retreat. They appear to have endless
numbers, notwithstanding the thou

sands lost and the ten thousant
captured by Canadians alone, and
saw many dumps Of them taken by tn
irresistible Australians in their mag
niflcent work last week, totalling an
other three thousand.
Although, judging by the more ready
surrender and the talk Of som4 pris
oners, the spirit and morale of the
German army are lower than we have
before known, it would be dangerously
unwise to accept such general
condition as being conclusive. Per
sonally, I have heard practically the
same disheartened explosions from
German soldiers behind their own line
in 1915, and from prisoners last year
Prisoners complaints are neither dis
interested, nor dependable.
Unquestionably, the German army
has been shaken to some extent,
and there is some disorganiza-
| ton, but also it is likely that large
contributing element to such state IS
the sudden surprise Ally attack, which
was without warning or time for prep
aration 1t put the Germans, so long
committed to offensive warfare, to the
necessity of shifting unhesitatingly to
defensive tactics, which are neither
| easily nor quickly accomplished, mill
tary critics declare. Therein lay the
| shrewdness and timeliness Of Foch 8
| move.
The serious phase to the Germans,
and spondingly happy one for
the Allies, lies in the fact that during
this withdrawal for the purpose, Luden-
dorff has declared, of shortening his
line and thus conserving his man pow
err, they have been compelled to call
up fresh troops to keep from being
overrun by the hard pressing Allies.
That at least twelve German divisions
have been accounted for is certain, and
it looks as if Ludendorff's reserve force
has been so lavshly used as to leave
him slight hope Of making the strong
counter attack with which he reckoncd
to turn the scale in German favor be-
fore winter.
There is always the possibility that
he may fling his Eastern ambitions to
the winds and BRING all German troops
to the West in desperate attempt to
escape the military destroyal next sum
mer that. is now staring him in the
face, but by all accounts there arc
few first-class troops in the East, and
they couldn't, by the greatest urgency,
be here in time to help him now, when
he sorely needs to keep from being
pushed out Of the HiDdenburg line and
the Chemin des Danes strongholds,
