New Passenger T ariff
In Effect May LIST
Reduction
OF Fares
Conforming with the Long and
Short Haul Provisions

Washington, April 15-Readjust-
ment of passenger rates on all inter-
state railroads in the United States In
conformity with the long and short
haul provision of the law under orders
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, will become effective on May 1.
The. new tariffs filed by the roads with
the commission indicate a material re-
duction in fares, particularly from i'm
portant terminals and rate-basing
points to intermediate points.
1t is estimated by officials of the
commission after analysis of traffic
that % per cent. of the changes in
fares will be reductions and per cent.
increases. Such advances as are made
are between terminals or basing
points, and in such instances the in
creases are made only when the traffic
to intermediate points is so great as
to affect seriously the revenues of the
roads.
Soon after the enactment of the long
and short haul provision, the COM
mission ordered the carriers to read
Just their passenger fares in conform
ity with that principle. At the re-
quest of the roads, the commission
postponed the effective date of it's or
der until a decision in the Minnesota
rate case and in the other cases in
volving the right of states to fix rates
had been handed down by the United
States supreme court. Later the SUI
preme court upheld the authority Of
states to make rates and the commits
sion directed the roads to re-adjust
their passenger fares by May 1.

PARIS, October 13.-The efforts of the
Germans who are fighting hard tn an en-
deavor to effect turning movement to
the north Of the long battle line in
France continue to hold the interest of
the observers Of the war. According to
an official announcement German cav
airy some days ago had advanced in the
west to as far as Cassel (twenty-seven
forces now. however. are said to extend
CasseD.
If this should be true it is considered
that it will make somewhat greater the
difficulties of the Germans in bringing
success to their efforts. This section of
the war zone continues the scene Of
particularly violent actions, the oppos-
ing squadrons fighting desperately to
gain the slightest advantage on which
so much may depend.
The Germans at the same time are
not lessening their ATTEMPTS to find at
other points on the battle line weak
spots in the allies front. All their ef-
forts, it is said, are being met sue
cessfully by their French and English
opponents.
Significance Of a Flag.
The latest German nag captured by
the French belonged to an active regi-
ment which was part of the corps sta
toned at Stettin. This fact, according
to the French. indicates that the Ger
mans have concentrated on the French
frontier forces which ordinarily would
be assigned to guard the Russian bor-
der. The Stetttn regiment is remain
ing where it is, in spite OF the reported
advance of the Russians toward the
west
The withdrawal of the Germans from
the vicinity Of Verdun, as officially in
d;cated, has been well received by the
French. 1t is taken to show the
further disengagemen of the enemy's
forces operating around the great
French fort on the Meuse, and what is
regarded in Paris as the retiring Of
the enemy toward the frontier.
The following official statement was
given out tonight:
There is nothing in particular to re-
port.
violent attacks have occurred along
the front. We have gained ground at
some points, and we have not lost at
any place"
