GERMANY WOULD
CURTAIL TRAVEL
ON RAILROADS
Drastic Measures Will Be
Taken to Reduce Coal
Consumption
Berne, November 23.—Germany
has resorted to stringent measures
of reducing its coal consumption"
during the coming winter by cutting
down its trnin service and curtailing
the number of people who travel, es
pecially in express trains.
* The latest edition of the Journal
of the Association or Gorman Rail
roads, held in Berlin, it was unani
roads, announces that at a recent
meeting of the representaUve of all
German railroads, held in Berlin It
was unanimously decided not only to
reduce the number of trains but to
, put such a high cost upon traveling
by means of radical raises in the
, price of tickets as to insre that only
those will travel who absolutely must
do so.
Tho advances contemplated and
which probatly wil li econio effective
within a very short time arc fol-
lows: On all tickets for express
trains costing up to five marks, an
extra charge of three marks will be
levied; tickets hitherto costing from
live to ten marks will be taxed eight
marks extra; from 10 to 15 marks,
13 marks extra; from 15 to 25 j
marks, 20 marks extra and for sums |
above 25 marks, 10 marks extra for;
each 10 marks as ordinarily charged. ;
Likewise there is to be a sharp .
limitation in baggage regulations so
that both the size and number of i
trunks, as well as their weight, will
be cut down. For tho first time in
many vears, Sunday trains are to be j
reduced in number. Hitherto, they j
have always run on weekday sched
ules, sometimes even have been in
creased in number because of the'
German's love of making Sunday;
excursions.
In order to assure the punctual ar
rival and departure of trains, .which
unfortunately suffered greatly last
winter because it was impossible to
get up enough steam to haul the i
long heavy express trains on time. \
the timetables will be revised so that
trips will be no longer than under j
the present schedule —though prob-J
ftbly no longer than they have been .
actually taking.
GERMANS FLEE AND
FIGHT IN OPEN
[Continued from First Pope.]
proceeding last night and this morn- i
ing.
Tanks Pre*# On
West of Cambria tanks, cavalry
and infantry were pressing the at-1
tack vigorously about Fontaine Notre i
r>ame and the strong position in
Mourlon woot* Fontaine Notre,
Ilame lias not been officially report
ed captured but tho story goeß that 1
tank crews wore served with hot !
coffee by tho civilians In this place;
this morning. (Field Marshal Hnlg's
official Thursday night said the Oer
mans had retaken Fontaine Notre
pame),
Further north near Bullecourt the!
British were in possession of tho en. |
tire underground fortification known I
pm the tunnel trench which had been;
famed for Its supposed lmpregnu- ■
bility, It least five determined coun- |
terattaeks have been smashwl In thlsj
region. Southeast) of Bullecourt 1
hard fighting occurred at MoeuVrosj
last night and a strong counterat
tack was repulsed.
t last Lino Broken
The last line of trench defenses!
in the region of Cnntalng have been!
broken and the British to-day were!
firmly established at many points)
In tho Masnteres-Beaurols line south
of Cambria.
It Is now possible to give morel
details of Tuesday's battle. In the
advance south of Cambria the first
hard fighting accurred at Lataau
wood, which lies on the Cambria!
highway south of Masnieres. This!'
wood finally was cleared of Germans
and the advance continues toward!
Masnieres. Sopie opposition was en-i
countered In a suburb but by ll
o'clock this had been overcome and
the British had crossed the L'Escant
canal at a lock. The small German
garrison fought bitterly to retain
Masnieres, The whole place was un
dermined with dugouts In which the
enemy was hidden with machine'
guns, but the Germans were forced
to give up this place after a sanguin
ary struggle', although some of them
were still holding out In the cellare
to-day.
German Resistance Weak
Marconing was taken with a
small resistance on the part of the I
enemy and this gave the British a
second crossing of the canal. The!
advancing troops forced a passage
here at the same hour as Masnieres
was entered. The Masnieres-Beau
rois trench line north of Masnieres
apparently had been reinforced by
Germans from Cambria and this
front held up the advance temporar
ily with rifle and machine gun fire
hut the British ultimately forced i
the Germans from the trenches in j
hand-to-hand fighting.
German resistance on the first day!
was comparatively weak as a whole
and they surrendered freely in many
places. Yesterday their lines stiff-;
ened and hard fighting followed, j
German reinforcements from Lens'
and the two companies of invalids
already mentioned were thrown into
the line.
First counterattack
The first counterattack came over \
the ridge fro mthe northeast of Mas- \
-nieres. The enemy advanced in mass-!
Ed formation as In the early days
. of the war. The British had con
centrated a large number of michlne j
guns at this point and- were hoping!
for a counterattack. They permitted
the enemy to advance to within a
thousand yards of the line before
they .opened Are. Then the machine
guns and artillery were turned on
the Germans and they were smashed
in a withering storm.
At 1 o'clock an attack on Mar
eoing was attempted by the enemy
hut as in the former case, they were
eaught in a heavy artillery and ma
chine gun fire and turned back after
Buffering severely.
Fighting a* Close Quarters
An hour later another body of
Germans advanced on Noyelles,
which was held by one company of
British troops. Here some of the
stlffest fighting of the battle took
place at close quarters. Both sides
rushed up reinforcements and for
hours the battle surged bacttand
forth through the streets and among
the buildings. It was a melee In
which the bayonet played the prin
cipal part. The Germans fought
well, but they were not good enrfugh
to withstand the fury of the Brlflsh
assault and gradually they were
forced back across the canal to the
east.
