To Move Freight Cars to Expedite Government Business New York , July 25.Thirty-six American railroads have been ordered to move 68,814 empty freight cars to the lines of fifty-four other railroads, according to a statement issued here tonight oy Fairfax Harrison, chair man of the railroad's war board. This action was taken, it was explained, in an effort to mobilize in different sec tions of the country, the large num ber of cars necessary to handle the abnormal government and commercial traffic developed by the war. The policy is new to the railroads', it was pointed out since it takes no account of ownership of the cars, which are being moved without load in the quickest possible time. jrsT BEFORE KETTRIW1 Take Hertford' A eld Phcphet.

Adv. in the Russian official communica tions, they pursued" their advance to the line of the Sereth. This uncover ing of the Russian positions south of Tarnopol forced a retirement all along the diagonal line southwestward, cut ting the Strypa and Zlota-Lipa to Halicz and the Lomnica. The Rus sians have been obliged to retire to the right bank of the latter river and Halicz is seriously threatened, with a prospect of a further retirement to the original Russian positions east ot Stanislati, occupied before General Brusiloff's advance. One of the first results has been a general agitation for the restora tion of the death penalty for insubor dination in the army and fontreason able conduct on the part of the agi tators. General Kerniloff, comman der on the southwest front, has issued orders to all subordinate commanders to open fire on deserters and troops refusing to obey orders. Premier Kerensky has sanctioned the effort to restore discipline. Many Maximilists, to whose agitation the demoralization of the troops is directly attributed, have been arrested. Pessimistic Note from Germany. Copenhagen, July 25. A remark ably frank article by the Berlin cor respondent of the National Tidende passed by the foreign office censor ship discusses the seamy side of the submarine campaign and the effect it hat on neutrals. It is generally rec ognized, be says, that the longer the campaign continues the fewer friends Germany will have after the war. This consideration, together with the thoughts of many billions which another six months' war would cost, are the two principal factors which contributed in bringing a majority of the Reichstag into line upon a bid for immediate peace. The correspondent says it is gen erally admitted that the effect of the campaign has been miscalculated, not regarding the amount of tonnage de stroyed, but as to the time retired to make its effects felt in England. The German people are still con. vinced that it will succeed ultimately if given time and they themselves are able to hold out. Disregarding Galician happenings as accidental, the correspondent says there can be no big offensive owing to lack of men, as Field Marshal von Hindenburg frankly admitted, but there is no doubt the front can hold out. The correspondent gives as two of the most striking impressions upon his return to Berlin the disappear ance of children, who have been sent to the country in thousands, and the appearance of a new type of Ber liner, a lank individual with skin hanging in folds, who has supplanted the corpulent German. A few have lost less than fifteen pounds in weight, many more than thirty, but they are healthier and usually improved. An other feature is the disappearance of vegetables, owing to the drouth. Green groceries display only lemons and onions. U. S, Must Bear , Brunt of War, Says Washington (Continued From Fat On.) men here that no breach can be made for many months through the Ger man line of sufficient width to per mit such operations in the rear as would force a rolling up of the entire German front. Admitting all these points, the quotas from the various districts probably will be assembled first at their district headquarters when the call comes. Whether they will be turned over to an army officer there and taken to their cantonment or whether on of their number will be placed in charge to conduct them to the cantonment has not been decided. lepartmnt Order.
