several of the trenches recently cap
tured by the British and an advance
by the East Indians toward Richie

In the east the situation is still in

According to the official state
ment from Petrograd, the Germans
have been repulsed in an attempt to
cross to the right bank of the Vistula
river in Poland and fighting in the
Bzura river district is developing. Re.
garding the victory which Germany
was reported to have won in Poland,
Berlin remains silent.
Austria claims important successes
in the battle of Limanowa in Gallicia,

First Lynching In
Oconee'S History

Walhalla. Dec. 21.-Oconee
county had it's first lynching
Sunday when Green Gibson, an
old negro, was shot to death
near Fairplay. It is reported
that a son of Green Gibson and
another negro are missing, and
they are supposed to have been
killed. The following white men
were wounded in the general
mlxup: w. G. McClune, mag
istrate, L. shot in his face; Paul
Marett, shot in back; Woodrow
Campbell, wounded, extent not
learned; Logan Ramey, shot in
face and one eye out.
The report from the Fairpiay
section, which is twenty-five
miles away is that the commun-
itY is very much wrought up.
It may be the sequel Of the stab
bing of Julius Marett some days
ago by a Georgia negro criminal.
The negro is now in Jail at
Toccoa, Ga.
The sheriff's Office was not in
formed today that there was
anything wrong IN the lower
section Of the county. An in
Quiry for details came from
another county this afternoon
and when Sheriff Davis was
asked about it he said that he
knew nothing of it. About six
o'clock a citizen came in from
the county and gave the above
which he had heard. Sheriff
Davis will leave tonight for the
scene. It is feared that much
blood was spilled last night as it
is said that many armed per.
sons were preparing for a raid
at dusk Sunday night.

Admiral Fisher Talks OF Efficient

Washington.-Fiye years would be
required to put the United States
Navy in the highest state of eff
cheney to meet a hostile feet, accord
ing to 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, torpedo-boat de-
stroyers, submarines and in number OF
trained officers and men and had no
mine sweepers.
Members of the committee were
particularly interested in Admiral
Fiske's view as to the possibility OF
foreign air craft dropping bombs on
American cities. He expressed the
opinion that an attacking fleet might
begin sending it's airships on bomb
dropping fights over New York from
a range of 500 to 900 miles off the
coast.
One foreign Navy, which was nam
ed, the Admiral said, was more eff

so only because the American MARKS
men had not been given adequate op-
portunity for practice.

MEXICAN ARMIES
STILL ON BORDER
GENERAL BLISS REPORTS THE
RESULT OF HIS DIPLOMATIC
RELATIONS.
NO ULTlMATUM ISSUED YET
Denies to Secretary Garrison That He
Has Made Definite, Final Demands
on General Maytorena.

Washington. = Secl 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, il necessary, to open fire
on the two Mexican forces to COM
pei them to stop shooting into the
State Of Arizona, it was feared that
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-
ters was that some satisfactory un-
derstanding would be reached.
Agents here OF the Gutierrez Gov
ernment to which General Maytorena
is loyal, claims that he Is preparing
to move his force down the railroad
south of Naco, so that he can 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 a def
mite understanding on the whole situ-
alton, it is Thought General Bliss has
warned General Hill not to take the
offensive, which would draw the fire
of the Maytorena troops.

INCREASED FREIGHT
RATES ARE GRAN TED.
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 $s0,ooo,ooo.

Washington.-Fnrther increases in
freight rates were granted to the
Eastern railroads by the Interstate
Commerce Commission in decision
from which Chairman Hallan and
Commissioner Clements dissented
vigorously.
Except on lake and rail traffic, coal,
coke, iron ore and certain other traf-
fc, 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, were
allowed the fiat five 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 s5o.o0O,Oo The commits
sion's decision is expected to give
them additional revenue approximat-
ing s3o,OOO,OOO.
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
m.ssioner's decision last August. The
roads west Of this line, which got par
fia1 oduoococ in tho Ay,o,1cf 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 ad-
ditional net income than ever before.
This was 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 Clements based his dissent
upon what he regarded as the inabil-
ity in law, of the commission to take
cognizance of anything in the making
Of rates other than their justice and
reasonableness.

DISCUSSION or POSTAL BILL
Rule for Amendments Made Subject
of Bitter Passages, involving
Several Members.

Washington,-After two days OF hot
words which eliminated in exchange
Of invitations to personal combat be-
tween Representatives Heflin OF Ala
bama and Moon of Tennessee, the
house adopted a special rule to con-
slider legislation for reforms demanded
by the postoffice in connection with
the annual appropriation bill. A de-
fection of democrates defeated sim

al substitution of contract service for
the rural delivery service, increase OF

The rule was passed late with pro
visions for cutting postmasters' SAL
aries, abolishing assistant postmasters
and the rural service substitution
scheme eliminated.

ment off the floor of the house, and
Mr.. Hefin expressed his willingness
to do so. TIE two representatives
were advancing threateningly towards
each other when half dozen mem.
bers stepped in between them.
Republican Leader Mann, who had
led the fight against the original rule,
later renewed the controversy.
"The charge has been made on this
floor" he said, chat the influence OF
railroad interests has been felt in this
house. I believe it is the duty of the
house, if the charge is not true, to re.
pudiate the charge and condemn the
man who made it. II it is true, then
the house owes it to itself to lnvesti-
gate the charge and punish those men
whose votes have been changed by
railroad influence"
Representative Ragsdale OF South
Carolina said that when the gentle
men charge that there is railroad IN

Representative Webb of North Car
olina said he "was not Influenced by
railroads, but by my own colleagues,
who l think are high-minded, honest
and conscientious men,"
A little later Representative Moon
in a brief speech disclaimed any IN.
tention to reflect on the honor or in
tegrity of any member of the house"
He said that his speech was made in
the heat of debate" and may have
been a little too rough" He offered
to withdraw any offensive language"
he might have passed.
