GRANT REQUEST OF The
ROADS TO RAISE RATES

commission for granting the request
OF the roads were the business and
financial conditions brought about by
the European war and the necessity
of railroad companies to meet obli-
cations amounting to 100000 during
the next year.
The commission scored the rail
roads for misrepresenting conditions
in their previous application for an
increase and continued:
"But we do not doubt that financial
problems have been made much more
acute by the war. We must recognize
the fact that the European war is a
calamity without precedent"
In a dissenting opinion, Commits
sioner Clements said THE increase
is simply war tax for the benefit of
the railroads" Clements said he
doubted the legality of the increase.
He declared that the carriers were
suffering more from want of freight
TO carry than for higher rates.

Young Thespians Make
Big Hit at High School

The crowd that comfortably filled
the parquet of the high school audi
torium last night are indebted to Miss
Johnson and the clever young people
OF her expression class for one Of the
most delightful entertainments that
has been given in the auditorium in
many moons.
The youthful thespians demonstrate
ed their ability to entertain and from
the rise of the curtain on the first
part until the close of the playlet "A
Case of Suspension there was not
a dull moment The entertainment
was divided into two parts, the first
part being composed of readings and
musical numbers, the playlet coming
as the wind-up
The mere fact that every number
on the program as well as the entire
cast of the playlet acquitted them
selves with due credit, speaks Of abil-
ity and hard work in preparing for
the event. The playlet was truly "A
Case Of Suspension as could be tes-
titled to by Charles Hill Johns, who
as Professor Edgerton was suspend
ed from window by means of rope
and basket until he had delivered him
self of certain promises that banished
all chances for punishment to the
young ladies who were the prime con
| spirators in the plot.
The scene of the play is in girls

by delightful situations makes 1t es

SITUATION
AT NACO IS
IMPROVED
By United Press.

By United Press.
Washington, Dec. 18.-Acording to
advices received here today, conditions
at Naco are rapidly improving.
Gen, Scott. chief of staff of the
army VINO is on his way to Naco, will
not succeed Gen. Bliss in command of
the border army.
Scott is going merely to ask the
Mexicans to move their war opera
tions a little further from the border
In official quarters here no predic-
tions are being made as to the course
the United States will pursue, but it
generally is understood that after
Brig. Gen. Scott, chief of staff of the
army, arrives at Naco Saturday and
conducts his negotiations with both
sides of the Mexican factions, further
firing into American territory can
have but one result.
Legal authorities here say if the
United States troops were to shell the
Mexicans out OF their positions, such
an act would be repelling an invasion
and not an attack on Mexico.
Brig. Gen. Bliss at Naco, Ariz., late
yesterday telegraphed Secretary Gar
rison that published reports that he
had delivered an ultimatum to Gen.
Maytorena were false in every partic-
ular."
Gen Bliss reported to the war de-
partment Thursday he conferred at
Naco with Gen. Maytorena. the Villa
commander of the Mexican forces, be-
sieging Gen. Hills Carranza troops.
Ramirez was told what was expected
of the Maytorena forces in shaping
their operations against the Carranza
forces so as to avoid danger Of life
and property on the American side oi
the line and he undertook to commun
icate the representations of May
torena.

Washington, Dec 1S.-Declaring
that the United States should not be
penny wise and pound foolish in its
naval building program, Representa-

"Out of thirty completed battle
ships, do you know that twelve are

pay bills for manning them?
Eighty of the fighting vessels of
our modest navy are not available in

Washington, Dec. 1S.-In a decis-
ion which was handed down today the
interstate commerce commission
granted the request of the eastern
railroad companies to raise freight
rates.
By the decision the roads were given
a flat increase of five per cent in
freight rates upon all commodities ex-
cept coal, coke, iron ore and lake-rail
joint shipments.
This action of the commission
means an increase Of fifty millions an
nually in the revenues of the roads
affected.
The findings of the original report
were modified in the light of the
changed situation as disclosed in the
hearing" said the commission with
reference to its former refusal to grant
the increase.
The main reasons given by the
