10 ALL NEWS OF THE RAILROADS ELECTRIC TRAIN HAS TRIAL TRIP Pcnnsy Officials See Success ful Test on Chestnut Hill Branch litiladelpliin, March 23.—Electric train service to Germantown and Chestnut Hill passed out of the realm of theory yesterday, when the Pennsylvania Railroad sent a test train over the route. The test went off without a hitch. The train was composed of three coaches. Promptly at 2.20 o'clock yesterday afternoon it left the Broad Street Station and bowled up and down the twelve-mile stretch between the city and Chestnut Hill terminus, with residents of all sub urban places along' the right of way cheering as it sped past. High of ficials of the Pennsylvania's operat ing and passenger departments made the trip. A stop was made at the Queen Lane station, uermantown. Work started Three Years Ago The Chestnut Hill electrification has been under way since the fall of 1915. The total cost was approxi mately $1,500,000, compared with $i1,205,000, the original esti mate. The construction included the stretching of 150 miles of cop per wire and the erection of 230 steel poles. Twenty automatic block signals, similar to those used on the Paoli electrified line, are used on this branch. It is planned to inaugurate pub-' lie service a week from Monday, j In the meantime finishing' touches to stations and rails will be made and | the necessary equipment will be as-1 sembled. There are thirteen stations on the' line, which is supplied with twenty-1 lour trains on weekdays and sixteen on Sundays. The average running | lime to Chestnut Hill with steam j locomotives is thirty-live minutes. <>rading Is Costly The largest single item in the con- j struction of the system was the elim-1 ination of grade crossings. This I cost approximately $V50,000 and was divided between the city and the, railroad.

FALL BACK TO STRONG POSITIONS [Continued from First Page.l vital factor in Ay general engage ment which the western front light ing should develop. Battle Progresses The battle is still in progress nlong tlio British front, with the Germans continuing to throw fresh forces into the struggle. It is estimated fifty German divfsions already are in volved, with probably 25 'or more additional divisions in close reserve. Advices from correspondents indi cate that wherever the British troops are falling back they are do ing so in excellent order and with deliberation, withdrawing volun tarily at some points in order to maintain an unbroken front. Tremendous Kit oil The heavy assaults against the British line between the Oise and the Searpe continues but nowhere have the attackers effected a breach in Field Marshat Haig's battle positions and the British rank and file is con fident that the tremendous German effort will be futile. Intense 'fighting has occurred around Crolsllles, on the northern half of the 50-mile front, near the Bapaume-Cambrai high road, the British have held against the enemy. Near Croisllles the Germans used nine divisions in their atta.ck and south of St. Quentin they used six divisions. Here the British retired to the protection of the Oise river the flooded ground near it. Many Prisoners Taken Berlin, in announcing the capture of 25,000 prisoners and 400 guns, does not locate the lighting areas nor does It specify the sectors of most intense action. It places the fighting as along a front between Arras and La Fere. The initial German efforts were aimed at Lagincourt at the end of the sharp Cambrai salient, and at Gouzeacourt at the southern point of the salient. After the first assault, the Germans, firing great quantities m shells Into the British positions, lengthened the attacking fronts sev eral miles at both ends of the salient. Apparently they gained the first line British positions on the sectors at tacked, but suffered severely frorrt British rifle, machine gun and artil lery fire against their solid advanc ing ranks. Bombardment Intense The Germans have not yet taken advantage of the concentration of allied attention on the Cambrai front to make an attack on another sec tion in the west. The intense artil lery bombardment in the Verdun and Ypres sectors, however, continues. Along the Chemin Des Dames and in the Champagne the German guns have been firing violently, but three small German attacks in the Cham pagne were repulsed by the French. London. March 23.—Powerful en emy attacks delivered with great weight of infantry and artillery has broken through the British defen sive system west of St. Quentin the war ofllcc announces. The British troops on the north ern portion of the battle Held are holding their positions. The British of St. Quentin are fall ing back in good order to positions further west. Very heavy fighting with fresh enemy forces is in prog ress. The war office stated there are prepared positions behind the Brit ish to which they are falling back; Fighting Begins Anew The statement follows: "Heavy fighting continued until late hours last night on the whole battle front. During the after noon powerful hostile attacks, de livered with great weight of infan try and artillery, broke through our defensive system west of St. Quen tin. "Our troops on this part of the battle front are falling back in good order across the devastated, area to prepared positions farther west. "Our troops on the northern por tion of the battle front are holding their positions. "Very heavy fighting with fresh hostile forces is in progress." British Army Headquarters In France (Friday), March 22. —British troops between the Scarpe and the Oise have fallen back in places, but the British generals have foreseeh this eventuality and made prepara tions accordingly. In the face of a great attack it is not only impossible liut-qultc unsound to attempt to hold the front line trenches everywhere. Good defensive tactics usually aim at organizing resistance so that the further the enemy advances the stronger will be the opposition he meets. Taking: the situation as a whole, the British are well satisfied with the results of the first stage of the fighting. They undoubtedly lost sev eral ruined villages and the Germans probably will make much of their capture, but the defenders have held on amazingly well and worked ter rible slaughter among the attackers. Fighting Is Intense The fighting to-day was greatest in intensity in two sectors —one northwest of Cambrai and the other southwest. The tighting on the northern front was about Bulleeourt, while hargi court is the southern center. A bright sun came out at midday and airmen wer ' most active, the British aviators flying at very low altitudes and using their machine guns against the opposing infantry. Use Much Gas Before they •attacked to-day on the sector between the Canal Du Nord and Croisilles, on the northern battlefront, the Germans for four hours smothered the British with every conceivable form of hate which a gun could throw. The enemy depended chiefly upon large num bers of trench mortars to cut the wire entanglements. The British had had warnings that the Germans would use large numbers of gas shells. This proved to be true, al though there was nothing new in the type of gas and the British gas masks appear to have been most ef fective. Terrible Execution The British Tommies and their ofiicers fought for hours with their gas masks on, but even this draw back could not dampen their jubi lation at the havoc they caused as the German infantry presented itself in the form of pointblank targets. Nine German divisions negotiated the assault in this section, but they met with strenuous resistance. Brit ish machine gunners did terrible execution as the Germans moved forward. * As on Thursday, the Germans to day depended on tremendous artil lery bombardments and massed at tacks with great numbers of troops to achieve results. At least forty German divisions have been identi fied and the German artillery con centration is the greatest that has been seen on the west. It is reported that in one section the Germans came across No Man's Land In regular formation and gaps in the ranks were quickly filled to present a solid front. The Germans are said to have stopped when they reached the barbed wire and to have cut it by hand under a heavy lire from rifles, machine guns and artil lery. However, the report is not verified, but It is certain that the Germans advanced in more dense formations than ever before and naturally suffered grievous casual ties. Six German divisions Thursday de livered a very heavy attack against the British south of St. Quentin. Despite the fact that the enemy had a superiority in numbers, the British hung doggedly to their posts through the day and it was only after the Germans had stopped the assault that the Hritish withdrew their lines somewhat in order to give them protection by means of the Oise river and the flooded ground around it. A further attack here will be extremely costly to the enemy. Berlin, March 23.. via London.—A crossing over the Oise west of Le Fere (12 miles south of St. Quentin) was forced by Jaeger battalions, it is added. Between the Oniignon stream and the Somnie, after tile capture of the first enemy position, the . Germans made their way through Ho Ino n wood and fought across the heights of Savy and Roupy, penetrating into the tbird hostile position. South of the Somnie the Germans broke through the hostile lines, adds the report, and in an uninterrupted forward movement drove the enemy .over the Crozat canal' toward the west. The announcement says the Ger mans are standing before the third! enemy position, it reports that the British avacuated their positions in the bed southwest of Cambrai and were pursued by the Germans through Demoncourt, Flesquieres and Kibecourt. ARCHBISHOP OF YORK WELCOMED [Continued from First l'ase.] should have been selected as one of the twelve big cities of America in which the Primate of England would appear. A Warm Welcome When the train arrived in the early afternoon every prepara tion possible had been made for a dignified and enthusiastic welcome. Stationmaster N. Frank Hotter with forces of city and state police kspt the wide plaza in front of the station cleared for \he company which came down in two automobiles to entend first* greetings. Governor Brum brugh and Thomas Lynch Montboin ery occupied one of the closed cars. The other contained Bishop Darling ton, the Rev. Floyd Appleton, of St. Paul's; Archdeason William Dor wart, Newport; the Rev. R. A. Saw yer, St. Stephen's, and the Rev. Henry A. Post, St. Andrew's. As the Archbishop and his party emerged from the station the city echoed with chimes l'rom different churches. Zion Lutheran rang out clear and loud, first, the British na tional anthem and the keen earnest countenance of the Primate was seen wreathed in delighted smiles. In liis company were his chaplain, ilie Itev. Dr. lremonger, of York, Eng land; the Rev. Dr. Charles Hutchin son, chaplain of Bishop Rhinelander, and several other prelates. Swinging up through Market street which was" plentifully dotted with the Stars and Stripes and tile Union Jack, to Front street, which was even more freely decorated, the party reached Bishop Darlington's house where an escort was drawn up consisting of aviation officers from the Middletown station, commanded by Major Garrison. They acted as guard of honor for the afternoon. The home of Bishop Darlington had been prepared for the recep tion with beautiful flag displays and decorations of red and white flow ers. Flags of Two Xntlons About 100 guests had been invited by Bishop Darlington to meet the English dignitary and a brief recep tion with prayer following in the chapel took place before starting for the Capitol. Just as the party was about to start, big delegations came up Front street from Lancaster and York, lavishly decked out with the white of York and the red of Lan caster, vividly recalling the ancient days and traditions of the Wars of the Roses. Massive British flags, mingled with the Stars and Stripes, floated from St. Stephen's, where the bells on the tower also rang out the two na tional anthems as the procession started for the Capitol. State street had responded with gay bunting and the approach to the Hill was in the manner of a triumphal march. It had been intended to have the speaking in the rotunda of the Capi tol, but at the last moment Governor Brumbaugh decided that it would by no means accommodate the huge crowd which had gathered so the House of Representatives auditorium was commandeered. The various elements of Harris- Jew in Kngland is now so highly re denomination, Protestant, Roman Catholic and Jewish. One of the most picturesque delegations was that of the St. Michael's Serbian Greek Church, of Steelton, led by the Rev.- Sebastian Popovitch. Clad in elaborate, brilliant-hued robes, he and twenty others of his church had come to ask for justice to Serbia. Of All Creeds There was also a large delegation of Jews, whose spokesman, Rabbi Hras, told of the gratitude of his race for the change in sentiment of the English nation. There was a time when England had trodden down this race, but its change of heart has been permanent and the Uurg's representation included every garded that the present Ambassador, Reading, a man of that faith, has been chosen to look after the welfare of Great Britain in America. The commonwealth of Harrisburg was most creditably represented by Mayor Keister, who made a brief, pithy speech, much to the point. The next speaker was Governor Brum baugh, who spoke of the state's ac tivities in the war. Andrew S. Pat terson, president of the Chamber of Commerce, extended a welcome on the part of that municipal activity and Mr. Montgomery added his well chosen words to the general .greet ing. TJie order of Free Masons ex- its welcome through W. I* Gorgas. The English Primate entered the Capitol underneath a bower of beau tiful decorations, an array of flags and bunting, arranged by Superin tendent of Grounds and Buildings Shriner. That the elaborate welcome vastly delighted the .distinguished visitor and that he was enthusiastic ever American enterprise and re sponse could be readily concluded from his happy countenance as the party prepared to leave. Police, mounted and on foot, straightened up the crowd and at- 3.25 a start was made for the station. The Primate Is to be received this evening at North Philadelphia station by the city of Philadelphia, which is tender ing him a great banquet. Governor Brumbaugh' was his traveling com panion all the way down. Upper End School Teachers Assist Local Draft Boards I'.lUabctlivillo, Pa., March 23.
