CALLS IT A FAIR DECISION
Rail Head Discusses Ruling Granting
Rate Increase.

Philadelphia. Dec. 21.-President
Samuel Rea OF the Pennsylvania Rail
road company, in statement, said
he regarded the railroad rate deci-
sion handed down by the interstate
commerce commission as the begin
ming OF a broad, constructive policy
in railroad regulation. The statement
continued:
1T certainly indicates that the COM
mission has been seriously impressed
by actual railroad and financial con-
ditions and We recognize that the
commission has carefully considered
the entire situation and rendered what
ii believes to be q fair and equitable
decision.
The decision, however, granted an
increase on only about so per cent OF
the freight business of our system.
and is not so farreaching as the rail
roads believe TO be necessary; there
fore. the railroads, as the commission
emphasizes, must continue their ef
forts to conserve and augment their
revenues from the sources the com
mission previously recommended"

FIVE CENTS ON EVERY FARE
Minnesota Court Decision Will Cost
People 100000 a Year.

st. Paul. Dec 2l.-Legal depart
ments of the railways centering here
are studying the text of the decision
OF the supreme court in the test case
on the Bendixen 2-eent fare law, and
important changes in the passenger
tariffs OF the lines probably will be
made
In its decision the court held that a
carrier may charge cents a mile for
the first five miles of every passen.
gers trip. and this will mean an in
crease in passenger revenue to the
railways of the state OF about 81 ,000..
900 a year. according to careful esti.
mates made by local rate men. Five
cents will be added TO the cost OF
every ticket for a trip longer than five
miles purchased In Minnesota, II the
railway attorneys recommend literal
following of the decision.

iTnues,- ana rne Austrian oITcTaf stare
ment asserts. the beaten Russians
are being pursued on the entire front
from Krosno. Galicia. to the mouth of
the BZura river, in Poland"
The Austrian statement adds that
advances of the Teutonie forces in
Southern Poland have been made
without important fighting and speaks
of the storming of Piotrkow and
Frzedborz, south and southeast OF
Lodz. IL the Austrian statement is
correct the Teutonic forces have made
material advances in Southern Poland
Report Lodz Evacuated.
The Berlin statement says that OIL
the East Prussian front a Russian
cavalry attack TO the west OF Pillkalen
was repulsed. The statement. how
ever, does not mention the situation
in the Mlawa region and belief pre-
walls in London that German reverses
there have interfered with the oper-
ations of the Germans along the Wis
tula river to the south. Ii is asserted
unofficially at Petrograd that the Ger
mans have evacuated Lodz, but this Is
not confirmed.
London papers have received the
report that the allies have captured
Roulers. in one of the most furiously
contested regions of Flanders. Like
the rumored capture of Westende
this report lacks confirmation. About
all that is known definitely OF the sit.
uation in the west is that the allies
are exerting steady pressure on the
German line, and. while advancing
in some localities. have suffered ad
verses elsewhere.
The French say there has been
spirited German rifle fire in the Vos
ges, but no attacks On the heights
Of the Meuse the French claim they

When the war began the French

seek but which she is resolved to pur.
sue to the finish without faltering,
NJ. Ribot continued. From financial
viewpoint Frances reserves are such
that she can regard without anxiety
the prospect of prolongation OF hos

Mineola, l.. l., July 81 Frederick T.
Schneider's presence of mind in the
face of almost certain death saved his
life here to-day. He is in the Nassau
Hospital in critical condition, but
surgeons think that he will live.
He was trying out a monopIsne he
has been working for more than two
years. Shortly after his ascent il was
noticed that ne was having trouble
The aircraft rolled and pitched and
failed at times to obey TIE steering
gear Schneider pluckily stuck to the
job and climbed until he was 200 feet
above the field.
Then the machine got beyond con-
troll. The aviator saw he would not be
able TO prevent it from turning a SOM
ersault He let go the wheel, threw
himself fat in the cockpit and waited
for the crash.
The monoplsne came to earth about
800 feet from l.e hangar. Mrs. Schnei-
der and the mechanics ran and extri-
Gated the man from the tangled maB
of wire, canvas and machinery. He
was unconscious when an ambu lance
arrived and took him to the hospital.

would. Schneider took his one chance
for life. The mechanics say that if he
had done otherwise he would have been
dashed to death or crushed under the
machine.
