ALIVE AND AT
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SlMMS.
Paris, Oct. IS (By Mail to New
York; The Headlong chase, after
the almighty dollar has not killed the
Americans desire for adventure. Had
you gone with me last night and slip
ped through a line of bayonet-bris-
tied pickets to mess with the foreign
legion, you would understand what l
mean.
At the regimental canteen l saw at
one table an American doctor, form
erly on the staff of the Bellevue Hos
pital, New York; a Wall street clerk;
the brother of one of the best-known
American fiction writer's; a graduate
of Trinity College, Hartford, Con
and lad from Syracuse. In the sc
mental kitchen l saw John, slee
round-faced American negro, presid-
ing over soup pots and "sassing" the
fat Dutch cook who used to be chef
on the New Zealand.
These men are 'privates. They en-
listed in the famous foreign legion
for different reasons, but adventure
was the real lure for all.
The brother of the author left
business worth $4,000 to go into the
legion. He confessed that he joined
because of an unquenchable desire to
do something which was not ''busi-
ness; he was seeking an antidote
for that Northumberland" feel
ing. Today he leaves for the front |
with 10 pounds on his back and a
gun on his shoulder, but happy as a |
schoolboy. At the ROurse de Com
merce he has an Office. A stenog-
rapher was left there, but his business |
must mark time until he returns from |
war.
By the aid of two friendly ser
geants was struggled into the army /
canteen and there, surrounded by adj

Eighteen disputes between Philadelphia
department stores and two express com
panies on the rates for carrying parcels
outside Philadelphia were settled today
In the United States District Court be-
fore Judge Dickinson, with decision in
favor OF Gimbel Brothers against the
Adams Express Company The suits
grew out of charges made by the ex-
press companies for light packages. The
department stores contended that they
were Disseminated against when the
companies charged them 40 cents a pound
for packages weighing 20 pounds or less
and only Sl.5O for bundles Weighing 100
pounds in shipments between New York
and Philadelphia.
The express companies also refused to
class hve 2O-pound packages for the same
destination at the rate for a single 1OO-
pound package and this the stores OBJ
lected to- Judge Dickinson sustained
their contention that the small packages
should be considered in the aggregate
The verdict awarded Gimbel Brothers Il
Sl5i6.a2 but II all the pending suits are
settled on the same basis, using todav's
case as precedent the total amount
to be refunded win reach $4,000. ~. -

PLAN INCREASE

Continued from Pare oas

thorough examination and readfusthient
Of the rates on each specific commodity.
with view to making the rate on each
independently remuneratfvs. This. they
say. had been done in pert when it is was
learned the per cent Increase might be
reconsidered and granted IN part.
All revision made between tho time OF
tho original suggestion Of the Comuis-
sion and its order. on December IS, which
were not suspended by the hnsl order
will be allowed TO stand. But all tarlns
which have not been revived with a view
70 specific increases on rates at present
on subnormaI basis will be resdjusted
IN accordance with the second suggestion
OF the Commission and Irrespective Of
the per cent. increase granted. In the
case OF many articles, however. the per
cent increase will be found suficient to
meet the demands Of this new basis OF
tariff estimates.
On other articles on which the existing
rates are very low, particularly live stock,
dressed meats, packing house products,
hay. grain, -four, copper, corn syrup and
foodstuffs generally, readiustment and
increase, where deemed necessary, will be
sought. The rates for these articles, Il Is
pointed out, had their origin in fierce
competition for tariffs or under the men
ace OF the big trafic OF powerful shippers
Railroad officials also indicate that the
day OF horizontal increases ended with
the granting of the per cent increase
and that from now on whenever advances
are sought they will be worked out on a
basis Of having each article be inde- |
Dendently remunerative on a standard |
basis of return.

lar this winter and saw that there was
food sent to the house when the corner
grocer had drawn the line on credit.
On bearing their remarks of chiIdiah
gratitude, a bystander remarked that
"in the way the Wares perpetuate their
rule in South Philadelphia one can See
now why residents in the southern sec
tion of the city are SO loyal to the
Wares"
The children seemed to know all about
the lack of work this winter. and they
smiled happily as they told how gold
pieces were given to their brothers Or
their dads by the host OF the afternoon.
They were just as thankful as those OF
the 10th Ward are to Senator McNichol,
who looks after the sunshine in the
gloomy homes of that district when q
period of want sets in.
The show this afternoon lasted from
2 until o'clock.
The show was continuous. When the
first 1000 youngsters saw all the way from
the movies to the team" who closed
the show, they tucked their candy under
their arms closely and went out, satis-
fed and happy.
Three thousand more took their places
with rush and did the same thing until
they were succeeded by the last batch.
Many of THOSE present had not seen n
show this season and It felt like "old
times" And the show was full of pep
and ginge," as one kid put It.. Nothing
else In town had anything on It," acr
cording to another little fellow. Every
thing In vaudeville was there, including
the funny comedian with the whlskers
and red nose, the slap stick expert and
the long guy with the funny songs"
