McAdoo, Director General Important Changes in Passenger Train Schedules Effective Sunday, Sept. 22, 1918 Cumberland Valley Railroad, P. & R. & P. H. and P. Branch, Gettysburg and Harrisburg Consult Ticket Agent TUESDAY EVENING, York Railways Company Earnings During August York, Sept. 2 4.—The August state ment of earnings of the York Rail ways Company showed a reflection of the recent raise in fares to six cents. The gross earnings amounted to $91,934, an increase of $6,871, equal to 8.1 per cent, compared with the same month last year. Operat ing expenses, however, continued to climb at a rapid rate, as the increase in this item amounted to $6,995, equal to 16.6 per cent. This showed that while the increase in fares brought the gross earnings up eight per cent., operating expenses in creased twice as much in compari son. The balance to surplus for the first nine months of the year totaled 76,904, a decrease of $37,149 com pared with the same period last year. Railroad Stocks Respond to Director's Statement Railroad stocks have responded to the statement of A. H. Smith, re gional director of railroads, that, federal operation in this district would result in a saving of $18,336,- 604 the first year. While not espe cially active, the list advanced. Buy ing of rails continues conservative, however, because the question of compensation for many roads is by no means settled yet. While follow ing the standard contract in all its essential parts, some companies which believe that they arc entitled to special concessions in figuring what is to be paid by the govern ment will endeavor to make individ ual terms on compensation. Criti cism is made in some quarters that the standard contract is too general in its terms, and leaves too much to the discretion of the Railroad Ad ministration in fixing compensation. Railroad Notes Traffic has been resumed at Bur nice on the Lehigh Valley Railroad after the road had been tied up for hours, when 10 coal cars leaped from trestle into the main street of the town below. Railroad detectives at Allentown have arrested five boys and are look ing for 14 more who are wanted for wholesale robbery of freight cars. Thomas G. Pennington, a retired passenger conductor on the Wil mington and Northern branch of the Reading railroad, who had a suc cussful operation performed some time ago on his right eye for the removal of a cataract, has returned to the Reading Hospital, where a similar operation will be performed on the left eye. In adjusting the pay of the track hands the foreman now gets $127.50 per month, his assistant 44 Vi cents and laborers 39 1-2 cents an hour. A few years ago the laborers received 19 cents an hour. An order has been issued forbid ding railroad employes from having any Interest, either directly or in directly, in any business in competi tion with commercial people along the line of road, and is said to have been issued by "operating officials" of the roads. The brotherhoods are objecting to this order. Charles Collins, a Pennsylvania Railroad trackwalker, met death be tween Jedsey Shore and Aughen baugh. His body was mangled and with head severed was found bv an other trackwalker. He was fifty eight years and married. James G. Silverwood quietly cele brated his thirty-second birthday anniversary at his home in Sunbury. Mr. Silverwood is prominent in rail road affairs being an assistant fore man on the Shamokin division.

Warning of the enemy's intention was-given by the start of a German barrage over the American lines at an early hour. As it shifted from the front lines to the back areas, the American fire opened so effectually that any attempt of the German in fantry to attack, was out of the question. Isolated sectors were subjected to a harassing bombardment during the morning. This fire, however, did no damage. The enemy still is busy consolidating and organizing his lines in front of the American right flank before St. Mihiel. After a gas bombardment, the enemy attempted a raid of the American lines in the Vosges sec tor to-day. He was repulsed, with probable losses, before reaching the American trenches. $lOO,OOO FIRE ATNEWWILLARD STIRS CAPITAL Guests Scurry to Safety in Scant Clothing; Vice-Presi dent Marshall Smoked Out Washington, Sept. 24.—Police and fire officials to-day were investigat ing the origin of a fire early to-day in the New Willard hotel which caus ed damage estimated at $lOO,OOO and sept hundreds of guests, many of them of national prominence, scurry ing through the smoke-filled corridors to the lobby and safety.

Although now "babbling for peace," the enemy, ahe Ambassador said, now understands no argument except that of force, and since they want to be understood, the Allies and their asso ciates mean "to use no other."

MANY CONTRIBUTE TO CLOTHING PILE [Continued from First Page.] tho some of some Parisian conciergo. Shoes, kimonos, dresses, caps, trou sers, lingerie and every conceivable kind of -garment were awaiting the busy sorters. Big tables hold neat piles of clothing ready to be packed and sent across to Belgium. Scout City Under the direction of Mrs. Wil liam Strouse, trucks and automo biles are scouring the city this af ternoon, their pilots stopping every where to lind clothing. Harrisburg workers are determined that this year the campaign will go over the top In the Pennsylvania-Delaware division; last year the drive fell be low the fuota. Harrisburg's allot ment is twenty tons; the division al lotment is 400 tons. This means an ounce and a half of clothing from every inhabitant of Pennsylvania. This extract from a letter of a well to-da lady of Brussels shows the con ditions exactly, Red Cross officials say. "Perhaps you will laugh when you hear that 1 have a cloak made from my husband's civique overcoat, a waist made from his football shirt, and a skirt made of a dyed bedshcet. Mother had a suit made of the table cloth, J. and M. have cloaks made of woolen blankets, and S. a dress made of burlap. But all this is only amus ing in comparison with the wretched ness of the population. After all, we remain calm and confident of vic tory." A recent Brussels advertisement says: "I will give up to 125 francs ($25) for new or worn bedsheets." There is an immediate need for every sort of garment, blankets, sheets and shoes. Mrs. Strouse, chairman of the col lection work, requested people to have their bundles ready when the trucks call. Trucks are busy every day and will continue their rounds until Satuday night, making a house-to-house canvass. When bun dles of clothing are not ready it means an extra trip of the truck and this brings much unnecessary ex pense with it. Mrs. Strouse has requested pub licity to be given her statement that if people have not been visited by the clothing collectors, if they will will call her on the telephone. Bell 11903, eaving name and address, she will have trucks cal for their gifts.
