LILE AWATS ARRIAL OF ALLED TROOPS Mayor and Local Guards Relurn {0 Assume Reins of French City. London, Aug. 28, 4:03 a. m.—The L correspondent of the Daily News tele- graphing from Turcoing says: “I visited Lille today, Wednesday. I expected to find it occupied by Ger- mans, as it was miade an open town fang abandoned by the mayor and the local guards two days ago. Not so, lhowever. I found the mayor and the local guards had returned, that the ‘traigs and business had been resumed and that the authorities were await- ing the arrival of the allied troops, whom they expected shortly. “What the meaning of this is, is fhard to say from here, unless it indi-. jcates that the allled armies have jagain moved forward victoriously. | But this belief is difficult in view of SUGARSALE ATURDAY NiON TEA CO. ‘Pure Cane Granulated Sugar t.

Calm at Turcoing. “The town of Turcoing is quiet and peaceful, although Sunday it was very near the center of a storm. The same may be said of the other peaceful places through which I passed today, such ag Courtrai and Roebal. “It is hard to realize how rapidly the situation changes, how quickly this vast business moves and how swiftly the tide of war ebbs and flows, “Here on the French frontier the 1andlady of a little French inn told me placidly as she served lunch: ‘They killed four Germans just over there Sunday,” and she jerked her thumb in the direction and passed over the in- cident as if it were an every day ocy currence. She was not much im- pressed with the fighting which had been going on all about her, but she was eager to know how the Russians were geting on in their march toward Berlin. ‘Wandering Bands of Uhlans. “Everybody in this country is be- coming accustomed to the sight of wandering bands of Uhlans, some of whom are very polite and kind and cthers rude and rough. These wan- dering patrols of Uhlans are a puzzle even to themselves. Frequently they do not know where they are, but they push on with apparent aimlessness.” LANDERS FOR LIEUT.; BISHOP FOR GOVERNOR | That Is What Professor Fisher Hears Slate Will Be—Believes Mahan ‘Will Defeat Baldwin. Professor Willard C. Flsher of Mid- dletown, who is seeking the demo- cratic gubernatorial nomination, does not believe Senator George M. Lan- ders of this city wants the nomina- tion for governor, for which he has been mentioned. “It is my opinion, from what I have heard, that Mr. Landers has aban- doned his ambition to get the nomina- tion for governor,” Professor Fisher said to a Herald reporter. “I under- stand that the plan of certain interests in the party is to name Henry D. Bishop of Bridgeport for governor and Mr. Landers for lieutenant gov- ernor.” Asked what his opinion was re- garding Governor Baldwin’s chances of success in his effort to secure the nomination for United States senator, Professor Fisher said he did not con- sider them very bright, judging by the talk he heard around the state. He said he believed Bryan F. Mahan has the inside track. Professor Fisher says he is well sat- isfled with the manner in which his own campaign s progressing.

Washington, Aug. 28.—Extraordi- nary conditions in this country brought about by the war in Europe are likely to cause a reopening of the advanced rate case decided about a month ago by the interstate com- merce commision. Information has reached the commission that the gross revenues of the Eastern trunk lines have suffered a big slump since the war and that they are now really fac- ing a serious situation. The informa- tion here also is to the effect that the carriers are preparing to-take the matter up with the commission with a view of obtaining relief. Conditions Radically Changed. It is admitted at the commission that conditions have radically changed since August 1, when the decision in the advariced rate case was handed down. That decision, while favorable to the ecarriers. west of Pittsburg, Buffalo and Wheeling, rejected the I application of the eastern trunk lines. Now these lines are not only con- fronted with the conditions which they alleged in the case, but they are up against a further loss of export and import traffic caused by the war. It was said at the commission yes- terday afternoon that while it was the plan of the commission not to hold sessions until October, if it be- came necessary the commission, or at least a quorum of it, could assemble in Washington in forty-eight hours. ‘While no official statement is made, is is strongly intimated that the com- mission would be glad and willing to take up the subject of the revpening of the case with the representatives of the carriers, and that as soon as the carriers take the initiative the comn- mission will co-operate to extend reliet that seems just and reasonable. Carricrs Hardest Hit. Representatives of the carriers say they have been the hardest hit by the present situation, principally because contend that all other big businesses can on their own initiative take steps to met the emergency, but that the hands of the railroads are tied by the act which requires the commission to approve the action taken by the rail- roads. The indications seem to be that the commission will' be disposed to take cognizance of the extraordinary situation now existing and give care- ful consideration to an application for a readjustment of rates. It is ‘probable that definite steps will be taken within a day or two to put the wheels in motion for relief for the railroads. Tt is asserted here that if something is not done trans- portation conditions in this country will become serious, RENIER, PICKHARDT & DUNN 127 MAIN STREET. OPPOSITE ARCH.
