Brighton s'I'' Tied Up
Hours by Short Circuit
Traffic Jam in Early Rush Hour
Is Worst Here Than in
Several Months

A short circuit on the Brighton
Beach 81" at Beverly Road, was fol-
lowed by one Of the worst traffic tio-ups
yesterday morning that the city has
experienced in several months.
The tie-up came at the height of the
morning rush hour and was the result
CT third rail feeder burning out be-
tween sections of the third rail on the
westbound express track, where the
"L' enters a cut. The heat was so
great that the steel rails were burned
places.
The first train bound for Manhattan
was stalled at the Beverly Road station
at I o'clock, and two hours later ex-
press trains were still being held up
at points south of the station. Local
trains wore running in both directions
at the end Of an hour
Traffic congestion resulting from the
tie-up was the worst that has ever
taken place on this section of the
Brighton line. Local trains from Coney
Island were SO damned that no mas
sengers were taken on at Newkirk
Avenue north, and thousands were
forced to walk to Flatbush Avenue
trolleys
Immediately after the break the
power was shut off on the local tracks.
This resulted in a jam on the stations
between Beverly Road south, to New
Kirk Avenue and north to Prospect
Place. TO prevent passengers from
walking the trackb d, trains were
backed down until they forraed . con-
tlnuous chain between the stations.
The first train to MaNhatta, ove~ tho
express line started from Church Ave-
nue. at 9:25, and It's sn-itchb TX serv-
zee continued for two hours until the
tracks were repaired. Regu'9~ local
service was resumed at $40 O'Clock

Two Armies Form Juncture


PARIS, Aug. 10 (By The Associated
with undiminished speed along the line
running from north of Warsaw to
Wlodawa, about ITO miles southeast of
Warsaw
Principal interest, however, attaches
to the maneuvers of General Pilsud-
skis forces. Nassed reserves which
he had concentrated at Ivangorod,
southeast Of the capital. have ad-
vanced sixty miles in three days and
effected junction with another army
operating from Cholm. United, these
armies were within eighteen miles of
the strongly fortified Brest- Litovsk,
Wednesday, and have now probably re-
munications, which the Reds late
Wednesday night were reported to be
hurrie6ly evacuating
The initial tactical aim of this ma
neuver, say military experts, is al
ready more than attained, as the left
wing of the Bolshevik army, based on
Brest-Litovsk, has become separated,
the Red center is being held before
the forts Of Warsaw, and on the right
they are reported in critical situa-
ton.
Middle Bug Next Objective
According to the latest news the
Poles have almost reached their next
obiective-the course of the Middle
Bug, below Brest-L itovsk. Once this
is attained it is believed the retreat
of the Bolsheviki, concentrated in the
Siedlce region, will be cut off and they
will be left with only one way to re-
tire beyond the Bug. This is by way
OF the Warsaw Bialystok highroad
North of the Narew River the Polish
left wing is continuing to advance and
is now we'll up in the fork between
the Narew and Bug rivers, making q
converging attack on the Pultusk
bridgehead. In the center the Poles
are rapidly driving tha Reds back on
the upper Bug between Chiechanow and
Drchiczyn.
In the region Of Thorn. in the
Danzig corridor, northeast of Warsaw
fresh troops have appeared on the
scene. They surrounded the Red de-
tachments, which reached the Vistula
River, and removed al danger to COM
munication between Warsaw and Dan
zig by the Vistula and also cleared
the railroad from Danzig to Soldau.

From The 7rib.rneS Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19-Unless the
Bolshevik forces organize counter
attack they will suffer a severe defeat.
the State Department was advised to-
day by the American Legation in War

the Bolshevik troops Occupying terri
tory along the Nistula River to the
west OF Modlin have been ordered to
retire in view Of the Polish offensive

miles northwest of Warsaw. Whether
the retirement is for stragetic pur-
poses was not made plain in the dis
patches
1t was officially said at the State De
partnlent that no suggestion has been
made that the American and other for
eign legations withdraw from Warsaw
to Posen. On the contrary, the foreign
diplomats in the Polish capital now be-
lieve that Warsaw is able to withstand
any offensive by the enemy.
