They assert that the French cap-

often surrendered in groups.
The German progress seems to have
been too rapid and too precipitate in
ita eagerness to get to the gate* of
Paris, for they arrived out of breath,
and to all appearsures, out of am-
munition, which may explain why they
did not pursue their original plan.

arrived in Paris yesterday, appeared
fagged out.
The German army, already weakened
by forced marches, constant fighting

the engagements of the last four days,
is not in the opinion of the experts,
prepared for such a big enterprise as
the siege of Paris, even if it retrieve
its fortunes in the battle now in

‘mana, therefore, lies in the armies on
the northeastern frontier coming to the
rescue and this hope now seems to be
too long deferred. \

WASHINGTON, Sept 3—A men-
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.—President
Wilson was aeked today by a commit-
tee of railroad executives to address an
appeal to the country that the people
take a more sympathetic attitude to-
wrd the railroads. The committee did
not ask Mr. Wilson to move for any
specific relief, but told him he could
do much to remove antagonism which
tney said had grown up toward the
railroads as a result of much agita-
tion.
The President was told that because
of the European war and an antanog-
iatic attitude of the people toward the
railways, great difficulty was being ex-
perienced in meeting obligations.
Chairman Trumbull of the Chesa-
peake & Ohio and the Missouri. Kan-
sas to Texas Railways was spokes-
man. The others were Presidents Sam-
uel. Pennsylvania Railway; Daniel
Willard, Baltimore & Ohio; Falrfax
Harrison, Southern; E P. Ripley, Santa
Fe, and Hade Holden, vice president
of the Burlington.
"Simultaneously with the great im-
pairment of earnings," the railroad
men’s statement says, "general con-
ditions have been broken down and
the absolute and immediate necessities
of both public and private" borrowers
of money here and abroad have al-
ready increased interest rates to a
level until thought of a few months
ago—rates much higher than present
net earnings return upon the railroad
property of the United States.
"This emergency was not contem-
plated when the Interstate Commerce
Commission rendered its decision in
the Eastern rate case, yet th* problems
now confronting the railroads greatly
transcend the seriousness of those
which existed then. The menace is now
not only to railroad credit, but to® the
transportation service itself and effi-
cient transportation is inseparably con-
nected with the welfare of our people.
"Securities of the United States rail-
roads held abroad are computed at
from $ 3,000, 090,000 to $5,000,000. It to
a certainty that bond and not obliga-
tions of the railroads maturing be-
fore the end of next year aggregate
over $320,000,000. In the highest pub-
lic intereat it is imperative that those
obligations shall be mat. Yet it is
evident that for a long time Europe
will not be a lender of money to Amer-
ica. On the contrary, the war will
create such enormous debts and in-
volve such a general dislocation of in-
duntry and commerce that Europe must
realize largely op its holdings of Amer
icn securities regardless of the price
obtainable.
The closing of the New York stock
exchange’ was pointed out and it was
suld there was not present market for
railroad securities, old or new. Should
the stoek market be reopened at this
time the pressure of selling would in-
evitably be against the railroad securi-
ties, it was said.
"If they do go own," the railroad
men told the President, "industrial is-
sues will fall still more seriously. The
public necessity to stem this tide of
selling and to reduce to the utmost
its destructive effect is one that calls
for the exercise of every resource of
statesmanshp."
Practically all of the prinefpal rall-
Wuys in the East today completed filing
with the Interstate Commerce Com-
mission the new tariffs proposing in-
creases in the price* of mileage tickets
to take effect in October. The in-
creases approximate 12% per cent.
Railroad Men Stopped.
Th* railroad men were hopeful after
the conference that Mr. Wilson,
through a public letter or otherwise,
might show that ho believed that the
railroad* should be relieved of some
burdens. They also believed they had
laid the groundwork for consideration
of specific requests to be made later.
These requests were understood to in-
clude a postponement of consideration
of the railway securities bill now pend,
ing in Congresa, legislation allowing
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to take general conditions into consid-

Cigarettes probably will be added to
