The Hague, April 3-Fhe general advance of the German troops along the entire front against the insurgent forces in the Ruhr district and neigh boring industrial sections, which be- gan at o'clock Friday, has been very successful, according to well inform ed Dutch sources.

TOLEDO WILL
 OPERATE CARS Street Railway Service Is Completely sus-
 pended.

Toledo, O., April 3-With street car service again in complete suspension here because of the councils refusal to approve an increase in fare, no move was in prospect early today for q settlement.

Doherty, head of the Toledo Railways &5 Light Co.,, took the cars from the state for a month because the people voted for an custer ordinance.
