CHINESE SOLDIERS
ARE WELL EQUIPPED
Portable Wireless Telegraph Apparatus
Can Be Set Up for Use In
Three Minutes.

Changtefu, October ga notable fea-
ture of the autumn maneuvers of the
Chinese Imperial army, which ended yes
terday in the neighborhood of Changtefu,
has been the presence in the field of
portable wireless telegraph apparatus
carried upon light wagons and so adjust
ed than it can be erected in less than
three minutes. The stations were oper-
ated by Chinese officers belonging to the
telegraph corps.
All arms displayed excellent discipline.
Experienced military observers are of the
opinion that with the exception of GER
tain minor defects, and making allowance
for the fact that these operations were
an experiment, the maneuvers were al
most equal to those conducted in Euro
pean countries.
The artillery and the principal equip
ment of the troops were manufactured
in Japan.
Today the proceedings came to an end
with a grand review of both armies, in
Guiding all branches, at the conclusion
of which Yuan Shi XII, commander in

EDITORS CAN'T EXCHANGE
ADVERTISING FOR PASSES

Washington, October 25.-UInder ruling
of the interstate commerce commission
transportation over railroad lines no
longer may be given to newspaper pub
fishers or editors in exchange for adj
vertising space in their newspapers A
protest against this ruling has been re-
ceived by the commission from the Massa-
lchusetts Press association, through w. j.
Hefferman, secretary.
Mr.. Heffermans communication says
that the association unanimously voted to
enter its protest against the reported
ruling in holding that the payment for
railroad transportation at full rates in
advertising shall be treated on any other
basis than that of transportation paid
Tor in cash.
In letter to Secretary Hefferman in
response to the protest, Chairman Knapp
of the commission, says in part, after
quoting the section of the law which
prohibits the issuance of free transporta-
ton or transportation paid for in any
other way than in cash:
"You are, of course, aware that all
tariffs filed in compliance with the regu-
Hating statute name rates on the dollars
and cents basis and do not in any case
sprovide that transportation can be paid
for with property. 1t seems plain to the
commission that the law above quoted
coupled with the fact stated. permits pay
ment for services of interstate carriers
only in money.
"A contrary rate would sanction I'M
equal compensation by different persons
rand involve ordinarily, some degree of
discrimination in favor of those permitted
ITO exchange their commodities for the
transportation they desire to secure. 1t
lis the aim of the law to prevent every
sort of favoritism and secure absolute
equality of treatment in all cases.
This ruling of this commission in no
way interferes with or abridges the rights
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1906-10-26

of private contracts Newspapers and
their advertising space may be freely
exchanged for any species of property
upon such terms as may be acceptable
to the parties TO the transaction, but the
facilities of the public carrier are not
private property, nor are they the sub
ject of bargains and sale like merchan-
disc The right to travel or have property
carried by rail like the right to com
mon highway, is not contract right, but
a political right the very essence of
which Is equality.
"Conceding that the advertising ar
engagements I'm question are ordinarily
made and carried out in good faith, 1t
seems plain to me that these arrange
ments must as a practical matter in
volve some measures of discrimination.
and it is not easy for me to see how an
honest newspaper can seriously object to
a ruling of the commission which ap-
pears to be in previous accord with tho
provisions and the purposes of the regu-
lating statute"

JAPS NOT ANGRY.
Do Not Want TO Endanger the Friend
ship With America.

Toxic, October 25.-It is believed here
that the anti-Japanese feeling existing in
America is confined to the labor ele-
ment in America. The tone of the Jap
anese press is SOLDERING down.
Thoughtful Japanese believe that If the
country allowed itself to be carried away
by a momentary excitement against
America, this would only play into the
hands of those anxious to ALLEVIATE foreign
sympathes from Japan. 1t is generally
felt that the friendship between America
and Japan is too deep-rooted to be sacri-
feed through local anmositles.
