THE carriers do not urge that the
commission should grant the relief which

do not claim that It is the duty of the

OF those industries, whose prosperity Is
dependent upon the welfare Of the rail-

HOOd'S UnAccountabIc Delays.
When Joe Wheeler was ordered to
remain to watch Sherman. Gen. Nathan
B. Forrest, the bold Western raider. was
ordered to join forces with Hood. As q
| preliminary movement he was TO invade
Middle Tennessee from Mississippi, and
damage the railroads there as much as
possible. He had accordingly set out
| about the time Hoods army moved from
Gadsden toward Guntersville. and fifty
years ago was across the Tennessee line.
In the meantime. Gen. Hood. always
an erratic leader, after marching a days
march toward Guntersville. suddenly
turned west and made for Decatur. 10
miles downstream. Why he did it no
one knew but himself. and no one today
knows, though various reasons have been
Given. Hood said he wanted TO meet
Forrest; other Confederates, including
Gen. Beauregard and Gen. Richard Tay-
lOr, give other reasons. and censure Hood
for making the change.
BY changing his route Gen. Hood gain
ed nothing and lost valuable time. On
October 26 he arrived before Decatur, but
made no serious attempt to capture II.
On the night OF October 2S and the morn
ing of the eth the army was again set
in motion to the west, seeking a cross
ing at CORTLAND. 20 miles distant. On
October 30, Gen. Hood was at the latter
point and Gen. Beauregard, who had
Joined him. but who left the direction of
the army to Hood. was hoping that a
crossing was now about to be effected.
Already four or five days had been lost
and the Confederate army had moved full

where it had been planned TO cross the
Tennessee. As Stevenson was the ObJec-
tive OF the movement II will be seen
that Gen. Hood had already heightened
his route by at least 10 miles.
Now. TO Beauregard's great concern.
Gen. Hood proposed another delay. He
said his provisions were nearly exhaust
ed, that his men were shoeless; that he
would prefer to go to Tuscumbia, 20
miles farther west, where It was under
stood there was a good crossing, and
that he there would be within 10 or Il
miles OF Cherokee Station, the terminus of
the Memphis and CharlestCwn Railroad,
over which he was to dra' his supplies.
There he believed he could get the re-
quired food and clothing in a few days.
There seemed nothing else to be done.
and the army moved on. Gen. Beaure-
and began 10 fear that It would never
get into Middle Tennessee. All chance
OF sudden attack was gone.
Fifty years ago today Gen. Sherman.
who had begun a movement from Gayles-
Vile back toward Atlanta, being now
certain that Hood would soon invade
Middle Tennessee, ordered Gen. SCho-
fields Corps 10 Join Gen. Thomas. This
force was about 1900 strong, and with

JAPAN'S FAT WRESTLERS.
Crowds Gather in Front of Res.
taurants to Watch Them Eat.


taurants to Watch Them Eat.
The most envied men in Japan are the
wrestIers. who are fat and bulky. The
first requisite of a japanese wrestler IS
that he be fat. Their stomachs are their
proudest possessions. The fatter the
man, the more money they will bet on
him-even though a bedslat can throw
him clear out Of the ring. As a fat
wrestler walks down the street a crowd
gathers around him. hoping that he will
turn into some restaurant. II he does,
they gather in the doorway to watch him
eat. They would rather hear a Japanese
wrestler eat than go to a three-ring.
A wrestler never disappoints them-he
plows through astounding quantities NJ
food turning everything under except
few radish skins and turnip tops. It's
unbelievable how much noise they make
when eating. by smacking their lips.
sucking up their tea with the open ex-
haust and picking their teeth with the
Cut-out on.
The champion eaters Of them all-the
wrestlers-have long hair, but instead Of
letting it hang down on their shoulders
as one would naturally expect, they do
II up in knots until they look like gigan-
tic kewpies. Whenever you see a man IN
Japan going around with a large-siZed
walnut on his head, you may know that
he follows the ancient and honorable
profession of wrestling. Their wrestling
consists of the men standing upright in
a ring, making a rush at each other and
trying to push each other out Every
time two wrestlers come together they
give a prodigious grunt. When one Of
them finally succeeds in pushing the other
out, the crowd bursts forth into mighty
applause, while the victor mOdestIy pats
his stomach TO show where the praise is
due-Leslie's

RAHROADSARGUE
FOR Higher RATE
Il. c. c; Limits Carriers to
Eight Hours to State Their
Side Of Case.
ENDS BY NOON TODAY
9. S. Patterson Gives Summary for
1914. Showing Less Revenue
and Greater Expense

Argument on the reopened advanced
rate case will be completed before the
Interstate Commerce Commission by noon
today, and the commission will have be-
fore il for settlement the question as
to whether the carriers operating east
OF the Mississippi and north of the ONO
and Potomac rivers shall be allowed
TO increase their freight rates per cent
to meet diminishing net revenue and the
unusual conditions brought about by the
European war.
Acting Chairman Clements announced
yesterday that the argument would be
limited to eight hours. Time was then
allotted TO the railroads, to Louis d.
Brandeis. and to attorneys representing
shippers Mr.. Brandeis made a brief
argument confning himself to the
record, and in substance said that the
carriers could get the relief they de-
sired by increasing passenger rates and
carrying out the suggestions and recon-
mendations made by the commission in
the oa4ginal decision.
Speak for Railroads.
George S. Patterson, representing the
Pennsylvania Railroad, made the chief
argument on behalf of the railroads, and
he was followed by J. L. Minnis, rep
rssentinE the Wabash Railroad, and o.
E Butterfield, representing the New York
Central Lines.
Mr.. Patterson said that the returns
for the year ended June 80, 1914, indicate
that even before the war crisis there
was something fundamentally wrong

The war In Europe has resulted In .

in this country since July /. according
70 a statement issued by the Postonaes
Department last night. Deposits since
that time have jumped from SE3OOo.OOO to
more than SSs.OOoOOo. according to the
statement, which says. in part:
From the very day hostilities opened
across the seas postal saving receipts
began to increase by leaps and bounds
and Withdrawals fell on, result quite
contrary to the predictions. OF many we'll
informed persons who, in their imagina-
tion, saw lines OF feverish depositors at
postof1ce pay windows anxious to again
return their savings to the bootleg and
body-belt repositories, whence they came
before intrusted to Uncle Sam. But the
forecasters failed to reckon on the alb
sOlute confidence Of the American citizen
In the ability and purpose Of the Govern
ment to carry out its obligations.
Foreign Patrons Increase.
Two important results have followed:
Thousands OF people. largely OF foreign
birth, accustomed to send their savings
abroad, are now patrons Of our postal
savings system, and enormous sums OF
actual cash have been released for COM
merciaI use among our own people at a
time when the need for every available
dollar IL pressing.
"On July l there was approximately
S43. 10000 of postal savings standing to
the credit OF about 3SS.0O0 depOsitors.
Since then more than Sl00OOoOO of de-
posits have been added. and the number
of depOsitors has increased enormously.
"In Washington the popularity Of the
postal savings system has Increased not

foregoing. postal savings bonds to the
