Berlin.-The invasion of Russia by
the German troops began Monday,
when the First Battalion of the One
Hundred and Fifty-fifth Infantry, with
a machine gun company, occupied Ka-
lisZ, in Russian Poland.
The German border troops from Lub-
linitz, Silesia, after a short skirmish
with Russians, took possession also of

The German infantry, which had
made rapid advance from Ostrowo,
in Prussian Poland, was accompanied
by the First Regiment of German
Uhlans, known as the Emperor Alex
ander III of Russia's Uhlans.
The fighting on the Russian frontier
was confined to small engagements be-
tween cavalry outposts until 6 o'clock,
but an attack was then made by the
Russian invaders on Johannesburg,
which is occupied by a squadron OF
the Eleventh Pomeranian Dragons.

10 Nc Reason For Feeling Any

Says.

Washington, D. C.-The vast ma
chinery of the Federal Government
was turned toward the perfection of
plans to fortify the American banking
system so that this nations share in
the financial burden of European war
will be distributed on many shoulders
and its direct effects minimized.
Conferences at the White House and
Treasury Department, at which the
foreign and domestic aspects of the
situation were discussed, eliminated
in the departure for New York of Sec
rotary McAdoo and Comptroller of the
Currency Williams. These two men
have all the Government authority to
put into operation the plan which Con-
gress designed years ago for such
situations as the present, by which
the national banks of the country can
obtain $500,000,000 in currency under
the Aldrich-Vreeland act with which
to face any condition and meet any
obligations.

reason for any feeling of alarm. Presi-
dent Wilson, who discussed the situa-
ton at luncheon with Secretary Nc
Adoo, is confident that any condition
which arises can be met without great
difficulty.

MORE PAY FOR
RURAL CARRIERS
New Salary Schedule For
Handlers of Mail.
MAXIMUM GOES UP TO 81 200
Time Required To Cover Mileage
Will Be Considered In the
Future-Step To Greater
Efficiency

Washington, D.. ca new salary
schedule for rural mail carriers
throughout the country went into eff
feet by an order promulgated by Post
master-General Burleson in accord
ance with the recent act Of Congress
providing $1,000 as the maximum an
nual pay for carriers.
Heretofore the unit of compensation
upon which carriers salaries were
based included only the number OF
miles travelled, but under the new
schedule consideration is to be given
of the time required to travel such
mileage and to the amount of service
rendered by the carrier.
New Basis Of Computation.
Under the new schedule the basis
of computation for maximum compen-
sation requires the transportation of
one parcel post package a day or the
maximum weight or its equivalent of
other mail matter over the length of
standard route of "a miles. In the
event of failure to do so. however,
the carrier would be entitled to the
limit of compensation if he handled
an average of 400 pieces of mail daily,
The order further provides that on
routes less than the standard length,
where carriers have received less than
the former maximum pay of $1,100 a
year, an increase or decrease of $12
per annum greater or less than the
schedule pay shall be made to or from
the prescribed salary for such routes
for each 1000 pieces, and for each 100
pounds of mail handled monthly, up
to the maximum of $1,000 per annum.
1t also stipulates that an allowance
OF $12 per year shall be made for each
closed pouch or sack of mail trans
ported by carriers to rural postofices.
Step To Greater Efficiency.
The Postmaster-General declared
that the order was a step toward
greater efficiency of the rural mail
service and the elimination to a large
extent of the enormous disparity be-
tween receipts and expenditures in
this service.

Points To Mismanagement.

1t is posted out by the commission
that low freight rates are not re-
s?onsible for the financial condition of
many Of the lines involved in the pres
ent case. Mismanagement is the
causa of many of the burdens under
which various roads now operate.
The commission severely criticizes
the propaganda" carried on either by
the railroads or their sympathizers in
an effort to influence the body
through the newspapers and otherwise
in favor Of granting the fiat per cent
advance asked for in the original petit
ton, and added that there was no

Relief In Long Deferred
Decision OF Commission.

Washington, D. CATER devoting
more than year to an investigation
into the revenue needs of the railroads
in the Eastern classification territory,
the Interstate Commerce Commission
announced its decision in the per
cent. rate case.
This decision was by divided COM
mission and is a compromise. The
lines in what is described as the Cen
trail Freight Association territory
those operating from ST. Louis and
Chicago on the West and Buffalo and
Pittsburgh on the East, have received
approximately per cent. increase
in all class and some commodity rates.
The lines in what are described as
the Grand Trunk and New England
territories are awarded no increases
except in so far as they may operate
IN the Central Association area. Some
incidental advantages will accrue to
them.
Economies are urged which will, in
the opinion of the commission, go far
toward conserving the revenue derived
from the present level of rates.
No arbitrary sum is fixed by the
commission which the railroads may
receive from the advance in rates, but
this will range from $15,000,000 to
$25,000000, according to the volume of
traffic handled under the new scale.
From economies, the carriers may
have the benefit of $25,OO0,OOO or even
more
