ARMIES NEAR THE BORDER
GENERAL BLISS REPORTS The
RESULT OF HIS DIPLOMATIC
'..- RELATIONS.
Denies to Secretary Garrison That he
Has Made Definite, Final Demands
on General M~aytorena.

Washington. - Sect etary Garrison
gave President Wilson the latest re
ports from Brig. Gen. Bliss on the Sit
uation at Naco, where the Mexican
generals have not yet moved their
forces to avoid firing into American
territory.
The reports showed that the situa-
tion had undergone no apparent
change, although little firing was in
evidence. While the United States is
determined, if necessary, to open fire
on the two Mexican forces to COM
pei them to stop shooting into the
State of Arizona, it vas feared thai
no decisive action was planned, pend
ing efforts to Naco to influence the
two factions to adjust the situation.
The general belief in official quar-
tiers was that some satisfactory un-
derstanding would be reached.
Agents here Of the Gutierrez Gov
eminent to which General M~aytorena
is loyal, claims that he is preparing
to move his! force down the railroad
south of Naco, 81 that he AN con-
tinue to besiege the Carranza force
under General Hill with the Ameri'
can border out Of the range Of fire.
While reports from General Bliss
to the War Daprtpment were not
made public it is believed they indi-
Gated that he thought he had persuad-
ed General Maytorena to stop firing
across the line. Until there Is III
mite understanding on the whole stu
alton, it is thought General Bliss has
warned General Hill not to take the
offensive, which would draw the fire
of the Maytorena troops.

Methods Still Asunder.

Atlanta.-No definite action or the
proposed amalgamation of the North
ern and Southern branches Of the
Methodist Church was taken by the
Church Commission on Federation,
which adjourned here after three days
of deliberation. Three bishops from
the Southern Church, four bishops
of the Northern Church, six ministers
and six laymen comprised the COM
mission. All sessions were strictly
executive, but it was slater that more
progress was made than at any time
previous.

Admiral Fisher Talks Of Efficiency.

Washington.-Five years would be
required to put the United States
Navy in the highest state of eff
cheney to meet a hostile fleet, accord
ing to a statement by Rear Admiral
Fiske before the House Naval Com
mittee. The Admiral, who Is chief
of the Bureau of Operations, member
of the general board and a former
president Of the Naval Institute, said
the Navy was deficient in air craft,
mines, scout cruisers, to%rpedo-boat de-
s~troyers, submarines and in number or
trained officers and men and had no
mine sweepers.

INCREASED FREIGHT
RATES ARE GRANTED
EASTERN RAILROADS ARE Al.
LOWED INCREASE OF FIVE
PER CENT.
THE PRESIDENT IS PLEASED
Wilson Expects Decision to Have
Immediate Effect on business. Will
Add sso,ooo,oo0.

Observation-Disclosures increases In.
freight rates were granted to the
Eastern railroads by the Interstate
Commerce Commission in a decision
from which Chairman Hallan and
Commissioner Clements dissented
vigorously. +
Except on lake and raid traffic, coal.
coke, iron ore and certain other traf.
fic, upon which the commission here
tofore has fixed rates adjudicated
reasonable" all railroads operating
in the territory between the Atlantic
seaboard and the Mississippi, north
of the Potomac and Ohio rivers, we're
allowed the fiat Eve per cent increase
for which they have been asking for
four years.
The railroads hoped to get increases
which would add to the annual rev.
enues some $780, 900, 900. The commits
sion's decision is expected to give
them additional revenue approximate
ing $50, 600, 900.
The roads east Of a North and South
line drawn through Buffalo, Pitts
burg and Charleston, W. Va, won by
today's decision from the increases
other than upon the traffic excepted
which were denied them in the COM
missioner's decision last August. The
roads west Of this line, which goBpar-
tial advances In the August decision,
received further advances. SO that
now all the roads in what is describ-
ed as official classification territory
will enjoy uniform advances In both
class and commodity rates.
The majority of the commission held
that the roads had. established in the
latest hearings a greater need Of adj
ditional net income than ever before.
This vas due, the. decision held, to ex-
igencies arising out of the war and to
an already existing necessity for addi-
tional revenues to maintain the rail
road properties.
Chairman Harlan in his dissenting
opinion, held that sufficient aid had
been given the roads by the August
decision and that the findings of the
majority was morally wrong" Com
missioner Cdepents based his dissent
upon what he regarded as the inabii-
ity in law, Of the commission to take
cognizance of anything in the making
of rates other than their justice and
reasonableness.

Goethals Again Asks for Fleet.

Panama.-Governor Goethals has
again cabled to Secretary Garrison
setting forth need for destroyers in
canal ports to preserve neutrality.
Colonel Goethals says he has no
means of preventing the use of canal
or Panaman ports as a mean of
communication and that these ports
apparently are being used to that end.
Colonel Goethals expressed opinion
that there was as much necessity for
destroyers at canal ports as at any
other American ports where they
were stationed to prevent breaches.
