Jef-'fers. president of the Union Pacific Pa-cific railroad, today. In a letter which he dispatched ! to all superintendents of schools ; in states traversed by the rail-' rail-' road. Mr. Jeff ers urged immediate j re-enlistment of the children in a "stay away from the tracks" t campaign, similar to one he 'prompted two years ago. after J childish pranks had resulted in 'two serious acciednts. A few weeks ago, a 13-year-old boy placed a couple at pieces of iron on tracks in Colorado. "Just to see what would happen to the iron when the train passed over it." The engine of a fast passenger train was damaged, though, luck iiy. the train was not derailed. Mr. Jeff era' leter points out that "damaged railroad equipment is inactive equipment, obstructing the war effort."

It was considered especially noteworthy here that Americans on the northern flank had fairly well establsihed their positions from Monschau to Malmedy and had in fact driven nine miles southward from Monschau, narrowing nar-rowing to about 46 miles the gap through which the enemy broke through.
