The program to re-establish. the eastern front with the aid of hundreds of thousands of loyal Russians is progregsing far more rapidly than was expected at first.

The Trans-Siberian railway will play an important part In the re-establishment of this line. That Germany appreciates the importance of the part that this line is to play is shown In a dispatch printed in an Essen newspaper and 'reported from Amsterdam today to the effect that the soviet troops had blown up "the Balkal tunnel." Hard to Destroy. It was pointed out by ofeials familiar with this railroad that there are no less than thirty-three Baikal tunnels, all of them hewn out of solid rock, so that any attempt to blow up one of them would simply delay transportation for a short time until the debris could be cleared away. To destroy one of these, it is said, would require the services of expert engineers equipped with the most modern machinery and 1 high explosives. Members of the American engineers mission are in the vicinity of Lake Balkal and.

have been repairing bridges that were destroyed or damaged and doubtless they will be able to. repair any of the temporary damage that might be done to the tunnel.

In no. other way can their presence in Moscow and Petrograd be accounted for, as they have been bitterly hostile to Germany under whose rule they have suffered. The suggestion is made that they were compelled to sell their services, as surrounded by enemies, they were able. to obtain a living in any other way.

SHIPYARD MEN FAIL TO APPROVE LIMITED HOUR DAY AT WILMINGTON Cannot Make Enough Money on Eight-Hour Day, They Declare PRESENTS PROBLEM WILMINGTON IN.

August Dissatisfaction is growing among shipyard employes as a result of the recently adopted plans that prohibit tradesmen from working more than eight hours per day and six days a week. Their contention is that they are not able to meet living expenses up has until been the present no arrangement under conditions of this a nature but worked out whereby the men may earn more money. They are desirous of working ten hours the day and in event they are permitted to will draw for eleven hours since they always receive time and an half for over-time. A big cent of the workmen, especially the skilled men, came here from elsewhere and have not families up until the present moved their here. While admitting that the wage scale is attractive they contend that they draw an insufficient amount to meet their own living expenses here and care for their families properly at the other end of the line.

Just what the final outcome of the matter will be it of course problematical but shipyard officials have not, up until the present, showa any intention of re-arranging their workIng plans, their position being that when a man has put in an honest eight hours work that he is not in the proper condition to continue working and that he would accomplish very little during the additional two hours that he wants to put in.

The campalgn against unlicensed cars slowed down after all persons residing here and operating cars on the streets had either complied with the law or been indicted.

There many newcomers here who were listed as "visitors" and they have been shown the same treatment that a Wilmingtonian would receive in the state from which they came but according to the solicitor the days of grace are now past and many arrests are expected.
