The average daily movement out of the Rutherford yards has been 1,200 cars. The soft coal conies over the Philadel phia, Harrisburg and Pittsburgh branch by way of llagcrstown and Shippensburg. That the present traffic is not spas modic is shown in the orders for empty cars. The Reading company Is being taxed to furnish coal cars to meet the present demands. Since Saturday 600 cars have been sent West to the bituminous coal districts. The soft coal coming oast, is for Port Richmond, Port Reading and Jersey City points, where coal is furnished for boats. It is the belief that most of the coal is being shipped to South America. Frint shipments on the Reading are also large and box cars have been a (Scarcity for the past week. Orders (have been issued along the main line of the Reading system to report all empty box cars at once. Interpreter Home.

It is evident that the Germans now have before the front of their wedge- 1 like advance the veterans of the allies' j left wing, which underwent a terrible j battering along the Franco-Belgian border. The ranks of these Franco- Belgian forces have been reinforced and the losses have been replaced. Another advantage enjoyed by the allies is the fact that their flanks are protected by the great fortresses of Pari.* and Verdun, while in the Ger man rear Maubeuge is still held by the French despite the fall of three of its fortresses. Tn the eastern war theater General Ruzsky's Stonewall Jackson tactics have been checked by the strong fortress of Przemysl, but this delay j will not prevent the general forward movement of the Russian forces along the border from Tilsit to Lemberg. The Russians consider It necessary, however, to capture Przemysl so that the Austrians may not have a single stronghold left In Galicla. Remarkable reports continue to come In regarding the speed of Gen- j eral Ruzsky's campaign. The soldiers J slept on an average of three hours nightly and made thirty-five-mile marches dally. It is evident, from re ports received In Petrograd that the Austrians expected to make a long re sistance at Lemberg. having accumu lated stores sufficient, to last a year. All these stores have fallen Into the hands of the Russians, enabling them ,to quicken their campaign without waiting for their own transport trains. * \ School Children's Eyes Defective vision oftr.

STEEL BIDS FOR VICTORIA MIES Believed Wages of Workers Will Be Kept Up Despite Depression The Pennsylvania Steel Company and other steel companies have put in bids for 30,000 tons of steel rails for the state railways of Victoria, Aus tralia. The Kuropean war has over shadowed interest in possible earnings of the United States Steel Corporation for the current quarter. More Interest is attached to the possible action of the directors regarding; cojnmon divi dends on the last Tuesday of October. One steel man ventures the opinion that the net for the third quarter will be in excess of what it was in the sec ond quarter, but that September may be an uncertain month. Commentingon the revival of reports that the wages of steel workers will be reduced, a steel man says that manufacturers will maintain waxes as long as it is pos sible to do so. All through th# de pression, which started nearly a year | ago, wages have been maintained, al though labor lost heavily through nonemployment. Chairman Gary, of the United States Steel Corporation, has been a strong advocate for the maintenance of wages and the opinion has been ex pressed that United States Steel would first economize by putting the common dividend. Judge Gary is expected home from Europe the middle of this month. Curtail Operations Reports from Pittsburgh indicate a further curtailment In operations. It is estimated that the steel mills of the country are now operating between 50 and 60 per cent, of capacity, which Is not surprising in view of the cutting off of export trade. This branch, how ever, gives some signs o fimprovement. A further curtailment of operations may be looked for. but it is not be lieved production will fall far below fiO per cent, of capacity. The demand for the lighter steel products is not as pronounced as It was last month.
