Power of Congress.

speakIng of the paramount power Of
Congress- over interstate commerce JUS
lice Hughes said:
at is of tne essence OF this power that
where IL exists II dominates. Interstate
trade was not left TO bee destroyed or i'm
peded by the rival railroads.
The purpose was 10 make Impossible
the recurrence OF the evils which had
overwhelmed the Confede.. ton and to
provide the necessary basis of relief by
insurlng uniformity Of regulation against
discriminating State legislation
by virtue OF the comprehensive terms
of the grant the authority OF Congress ~
at all times adequate To meet the varylns
exigencies that arise and tn protect tho
national interests by securing the freedom
OF interstate commerce intercourse from
local control.
Its authority extending 10 those in-
terstate carriers as instruments of Inter-
state commerce necessarily embraces the
right TO control their operations In all mat
tiers having such close and substantial
relation to interstate traffic that the con-
troll is essential or appropriate to the Sc
curity OF that traffic. to the efficiency or
the interstate service and to the main
tenance Of conditions under which inter-
state commerce may be conducted upon
fair terms and without hindrance.
Agencies Of Commerce.
Internationally Congress may seek the
attainment of these ends by requiring
that the agencies OF Interstate commerce
shall not be used in such manner as to
cripple, retard or destroy II. The fact
that carriers are instruments OF intra-
state commerce as well AS of interstate
commerce does not derogate from the
complete and paramount authority of Con-
yress over the latter. or preclude the
Federal power from being exerted to pre-
vent the intrastate operations or such car
riers from being made means OF Injury
10 that which has been confided TO Fed
eral care.
sWhereyer the interstate and intra state
transactions Of carriers are 80 related
that the government OF the one involves
the control Of the other IL n Congress
that IL entitled to prescribe the hnai and
dominant rule, for otherwise Congress
would he denied the exercise OF Its con.
stitutionai authority aud the state and
not the nation would be supreme within
the national field"
Justice Hughes quoted the decisions OF
the court sustaining the employers liza
billy act and various other decisions up
holding the national authority, including
the Federal hours OF service law.
Referring 10 the latter case. Justice
Hughes said:
"Employees dealing with the movement
OF trains were employed In both sorts OF
commerce, but the court held that this
fact did not preclude the exercise Of Fed
.rai power AS Congress could limit tht
hours Of labor OF those engaged in inter
state transportation, II necessarily follows
that IL could not be frustrated by pro
longing the period OF service through
other requirements OF the carriers or bS
the comminglng of duties relating to in
terstate and intrastate operations

RAILROADS GAIN VICTORY
IN, THE SHREVEPORT CASE

entered an order against the railroads in
VOWED, the Houston. East and West Texas
Railway Company. the Houston and
Shreveport Company, the Texas and
Pacific Railroad Company and other rail-
roads requiring them to make a rate be-
tween points wholly within the state or
Texas so much below the interstate rate

Louisiana.
The railroads responded to the Inter-
state Commerce Commissions order by
declaring that they could rot comply with
the Federal demand to equalizc rates AMI
cease discriminating without bringing
themselves within the condemnation oil
the Texas commission.
The railroads asserted the paramount
authority OF the Texas commission to tlx
rates between points wholly within Texas
and sought an injunction from the Com
merce Court to restrain the Interstate
Commerce Commission from enforcing It's
order for an equalization OF rates. The
Injunction was refused and an appeal was
taken to the Supreme Court.

Opinion by Justice Hughes.

The Supreme Court now has affirmed
the Judgment OF the Commerce Court In
an opinion by Justice Hughes which as
serted in language that is likely to be-
come historical the unrestiained power
OF the Federal Government to regulate In.
ters,ate traffic and the agencies OF inter-
state commerce and TO remove any OBJ
structions or burdens upon such COM
merce.
The opinion makes It clear that the
only thing that prevented the supreme
Court ordering an equalization or rates
Between interstate and intrastste snip
"a, MS involved In the Minnesota rate case
was the fact that the Federal Govern
ment had not asserted It's authority
through the Interstate Commerce Com
mission making an order IN the premises.
"Tho gravamen OF the complaint said
Justice Hughes, was that the carriers
made rates out Of Dallas and other Texas
points into eastern Texas which wera
much lower than those which they eN-
tended into Texas from shreveport. The
situation may be briefly described

SEIZURE OF TANKER
BY BRITISH CRUISER
DRAWS U. S. PROTEST.
The John D. Rockefeller,
American Ship, Held Up
Near Orkney Isles-State
Department Requests I'm
mediate Explanation.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 81.

Acting Secretary OF State Lansing to-
day lodged with Sir Cecil Spring Rice,
the British Ambassador. a formal pro-
test against the seizure by British
cruiser of the American tank steamship
John d. Rockefeller.
The John d. Rockefeller, an American
ship carrying a cargo of petroleum from
Copenhagen to New York, was held up
near the Orkney Islands and forced to
&C into FORT under convoy.
1nasmuch as the United States has
not been informed that petroleum Is
contraband under the British rules OF
war, and as there Is no question raised as
to any change of registry in the case
of the John D. Rockefeller, which was
plying between two neutral ports, the
State Department has requested an i'm
mediate explanation as to the reason why
the tank steamer was held up.
Acting Secretary of State Lansing to-
day said that he was still without in
formation concerning the details OF the
seizure of the tank steamer Brindilla and
that the United States would make no
move until the consul at Halifax made
a full report on the matter. Mr.. Lansing
also denied a report that the United
States had made formal representations
to Great Britain, demanding the release
of the Brindilla.

RUSSIA CALLS SOLDIERS
HOME FROM MANCHURIA
First Line Troops Also Withdrawn
From Siberia to Fight Germans.


Russia Is withdrawing virtually all of
the first line troops from Manchuria and
Siberia for service against the Germans
and Austrians. Their places are being
taken by reservists and unframed levies,
who will be made proficient for service
in the west later If needed. Chinese Of
fcials and European travellers said that
ordinary travel has been held up to ex-
pedte the passage OF the military trains.
The German defense at Kiao-Chau is
stuhbornly maintained. Reports reaching
here from Chinese sources say that the
Germans have mined much OF the ter
ritory approaching their fortIfcatlons and
that the beseging forces lost heavily
when these mines were exploded. One
OF the British regiments participating is
reported to have lost an entire company
through this method of warfare.
There have been several encounters be-
tween German and Japanese aviators in
the air, and In one both aviators lost
their lives. The Japanese have COM
pletely destroyed the German wireless
station and have also been able to set
a number OF the small magazines on fire
by means OF petrol bombs.

BELGIAN KING SENDS
MESSAGE TO AMERICA
Insists Nation Had Taken No Part
in International Politics.

AMSTERDAM. Oct. 81.
King Albert, of Belgium, at the head
quarters OF his army In his own coun-
try, Yesterday expressed his appreciation
for what was being done for refugee
Belgians in England, and sent the fol-
lowing message to the American people:
e! hope the United States will remem-
ber Belgium has been scrupulously exact
in carrying out its obligations as a neu-
tral country, II never had been Belgian
policy 10 interfere in international poll
tics The nation had been gravely mis-
represented in this matter. AS proof
they had undertaken no warlike prepara-
ticns when Belgium was invaded the
army was concentrated in the centre of
the country far from any frontier.
LAS an indication OF the attitude toward
those who were compelled to leave Bel
gum when the war began. the American
Minister, Brand Whitlock, and his secre-
tarv. Mr. Gibson, can testify how the
Belgian soldiers tended to comfort them
His Majesty hopes the American ma
tion as a neutral will not forget the neu-
tralitv OF Belgium was violated. When
the war is ended this fact should bear
heavily on the terms OF peace"

LONDON. oct. 81.
The Allies are attempting a turning
movement in France and Belgium. This
much is admitted in military headauar-
ters. The belief Is current that the aim
is to roll back the German right from
the vicinity Of Nieuport and Ostend
Il is freely admitted that the fleet is
In action and that the naval brigade is
cooperating with the Belgians The in
ference, therefore, is that the German
extreme right has been found weaker
than was anticipatd and that the Allies
are taking advantage Of this fact before
addtionl reinforcements can be brought
into action.
At the War Office 1t is stated there is
"no reason to doubt that the Allies are
on the offensive" But that is as far
as the cautious officials care to go. They
say that it is too early to forecast what
is to be expected, but the inference is
that the Germans have overplayed their
hand.
Officials who are usually we'll informed
declare that when the actual conditions
are disclosed 1t will be found that the
presence of the German artillery In their
extreme IlEnl UlSduS lldl Il NpNtllllb
movement is in progress. There Is be-
leved here TO be plenty of evidence that
the Germans have withdrawn at least 4
portion of their infantry fro mthe Nieu-
port -Dixmude- -Roulers line. This has
been found necessary to hold the posi-
tions near Lille, where the Allies have
been fighting with desperation to extend
their lines eastward
Both sides, for the first time since the
war began, now have the benefit OF eX-
cellent street car lines as well as railroads
on which to move transport and war ma
terials. The Germans have one. modern
in every respect from Ostend and BruEes
directly to their battle front, and another
double tracked, from the important rail-
way centre of Meulebeko. The Allies
have equally good lines in their rear ex-
tending eastward from Dunkirk. Dun
kirk, BerSues to the south, and Crave
lines and Bourburg TO the southwest, form
a group of fortresses in lowlands which
are commanded by numerous canals.
bitches and flats.
To the east of Dunkirk there Is n series
OF forts which defend against an approach
from Belgium. Fort Dunes, the chief of
these. is five miles from the inner Dun
kirk line.
The reoccupation Of BruEes by the AL
lies is reported by the Nord Maratime, Of
Dunkirk. The report, which has no con- I
firmation from any other source. but /
which has been passed by the censor,
