In Athens greater attention

The theory all along has been
that if the Greeks could es-
tablish themselves at Damasi
their road wonld lie open to
EIassona. The situation at
Tyrnavos is somewhat in doubt.
The news from that point is
conflicting. But there is no con-
firmation of the rumor that the
place has been captured by the
Turks. What seems to have
happened is that Tyrnavos was
evacuated in order to send
troops forward to Reyeni, and
was then reoccupied by the
troops returning from Milouna.

Your committee could continue these
comparisons al great length. but believe we
havo shown enough To prove conclusively
that determinations exist. Your commit
tee found another. which. TO us. seems to
be vet more glaring and inexcusable. to-
wit The exporter can have his grain
shipped at a rate from TO ~ cents per
100 pounds cheaper than the local cealer
as the railroads make one rate for the ex-
porter and another for the local trade.
For instance. tho export rate on corn from
Wichita Ia 20 cents per 100. while the To-
cal rate is 20 cents per 100 pounds. and
your committee fails to find any Just
ground for such discrimination; 1t simply
acts as a premium to the export business
en- tho ono hand and acts as a bar to the
local trade on the other.
Your committee was invited by the Of
ficers of the Gulf and Interstate railroad
IN visit the city OF Beaumont which Is
