SOFT COAL TRAFFIC
KEEPS READING BUSY
Scarcity of Cars Is Worrying the
Officials; Fruit Shipments
Are Large
•Since last Saturday soft coal traffic
over the Philadelphia and Reading
Railway has been on the increase. 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.

berg, Interpreter for the Pennsylvania

men along the Pennsyl's Middle di
vision, has been promoted to assistant i

allies that abundant time was given
for the shift.
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.

PH. 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.

Germans' Move Greatest
Puzzle of World Today
By '.Associated Press
London, Sept. 8, 3.20 A. M.—"The
world's great puzzle to-day," says the
Chronicle's Paris correspondent, "is
the disappearance southeast ward of
the German host which was supposed
to be ready to dash Itself against
Paris.
j "To the close student it appears that
I the incident aim may be to reach the
[southern and somewhat less strongly
i fortified side of Paris. But I think
|on the whole it Is larger and bolder
than this. In the first place the ofH
fcial communication of Friday reveals
'that there are three German armies
I moving southward. Friday a cotW
imunication stated that 'the enemy has
I reached La Ferte, passed Rhelms and
t is passing along west of the Argonne.'
[it is evident that it cannot be the same
army which reaches La Ferte, thirty
three miles from Paris which passes
| Kheims, eighty-five miles from Paris
and which passes the Argonne, forest,
[125 miles from Paris. The ideas of
(the German tacticians now are as
follows:
"First to get out of reach of the
Belgians; second to keep as far as
| possible from the ever-increasing Brit
ish contingent; third to immobilize
I the army of Paris: fourth, to reduce
'the nlength of the line of communica
tion and recover direct touch with
Germany: fifth, while accomplishing
|these ends to smash the other French
armies; sixth when the German
armies are united to be able to march
directly on either Berlin or Paris as
circumstances may direct.
"The present movement to the east
ward is apparently with the object
lof accomplishing these things. The
[German army which lias come south
[from Hons will join at, Kpernay, 15
! miles southwest of Bhelms, other
| German armies of which we have so
I far heard nothing but which evidently
| have been moving southward from
I Luxemburg and the Ardennes. This
immense strategical overturn maj' In-
Ivolve the German abandonment of
I Belgium and Northern France, but It
I Immediately threatens the French be
fore the Vosges with a rear attack."
