ment for the rate raise was to Increase

confidence In railroad securities. So
when the rate question was attacked
from the standpoint OF the broker anx-

to get very far with a judicial body

The main fight for the rate increase

Judge Henderson. commerce counsel
for Iowa, returned Saturday from
Washington, where he had been at
tending the sittings Of the interstate
commerce commission, an attentive
follower of every move, and assisting
in every way possible in presentation
of the defense on behalf of the con-
sumers and shippers. He says that the

have the impression that there will
not be any order for horizon al in
crease in rates all over the country
as demanded at Washington. There Is
no question about the roads in Central
Freight Association needing more rev.
enue, on that we all agree, for those
roads are unfortunately situated, and
they were able to show that the recent
advances granted them were not suffi-
cient. There will be some advances
made, but no horizontal advance. When
the roads get at it by groups of related
rates they will get some advances
which they ought to nave. But the
present case is not good.
whatever advances are granted in
the future will be granted. however, not
because of the arguments put up by
the bankers, but because the rates are
too low and should be raised Members
of the commission plainly resented the
tack taken in this case. They indi-
Gated that they did not like to have
these bankers come before them and
undertake to influence the commission
in the way it was being done. AS a
result these bankers did not put on
all their witnesses and after few had
been on the stand the matter was
dropped. These bankers are the in
vestment' bankers, or curpstorle
brokers, dealing in stocks and securl-
ties and dependent on this business.

we were selling enough abroad so the
balance would be s4O0,000.000 in our

would be different.

WHAT CkTARRH IS

It has been said that every third person
is troubled with catarrh in some form.
Science, has shown that nasal catarrh
indicates a weakened condition OF the
body; that the secretion of the mucous
membranes are quickly affected, and local
treatments in the form of snuffs and
vapors do little, if any good.
TO correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the

Turks Explain Incident as
Result of Indifference \
Of Boats Helmsmen
INCIDENT CLOSED
SAYS SECY. BRYAN
Yankee Craft Headed for a
Mine at the Entrance
of Smyrna Harbor

Washington, D. c., Nov. 27.-The
Turkish commander of the forts at
Smyrna lays all responsibility for the
firing on the cruiser Tennessee's s
launch ito the Indifference of the
helmsman of the launch who, it is
said, did not heed warnings of the
presence of mines.
Secretary Bryan today issued sup
Elemental statement on the Tennessee
incident, based on the latest commune
cation from the Turkish minister OF
war, to Ambassador Morgenthau in
Constantinople.
"The war minister's report" said
the statement, states that he ascer-
tanned from the commander Of Smy-
rna that two blank shots of warning
were first fired and that the sentinel
after waiting two minutes was obliged
to fire the third shot in another direc-
ton from that of the launch, which lat
ter shot was merely to prevent the
helmsmen of the launch from holding
his course, which would lead directly
onto the mines at the entrance of the
port, and to rescue him from very
certain danger. The commander OF
Smyrna expresses very great regret
that such an obligation was presented
to the sentinel of the port, which he
attributed to the Indifference of the
helmsman of the launch
Mr.. Bryan said this latest report
closes the incident.

WANT NATIONS To
FIGHT ELSEWHERE
SOUTH AMERICAN COUNTRIES
OBJECT TO HAVING THEIR
OCEAN TRADE DISRUPTED.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 27.--Deter.
mined to reduce the effects of the
European war on their trade, the prin-
cipal nations of South America are
endeavoring, it was disclosed today, to
secure the cooperation OF the United
States in a movement to effect an
agreement with the belIigerent pow
ers Of Europe to withdraw their war
ships from the neutral waters of the
two Americas.
Some of the South American coun-
tries feel that as Europe has disrupted
the trade of neutrals, the latter should
vigorously assert their rights. The
presence of a German fleet in South
American waters has held back many
British merchantmen, while German
steamers by the score are lying idle in
South American ports.
The South American countries also
would prefer that the belligerent nav
les fight their battles in another hemi.
sphere, the tangles over the use OF
the wireless and coaling privileges
having produced complications with
Europe.
Although both Ecuador and Colon.
bia claim that they now have taken
measures which satisfy Great Britain
and France of their neutrality, Chile's
declaration that German ships had
violated her neutrality has interjected
another difficulty in the situation.

U,s.|NTERvENES
AGAINST A|RMEN
Presidents. Protest Upon
Dropping of Bombs is
Given Publicity.
NATTER TAKEN UP
IN INFORMAL WAY
Foreign Diplomats Refuse
to Discuss the Subejct
With IntervieWers.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 27-Presi
dent Wilson has communicated unof
ficially to the diplomatic representa-
tives Of the United States in the bel
ligerent countries of Europe his dis
approval of attacks by bombs from
aircraft dropped on unfortified cities
occupied by noncombatants.
The president was careful not tc
take the matter up officially and did
not even make his communication
through the state department, but
personally addressed the American
ambassadors abroad. The president
took this course, it became known to
day, nearly two months ago. The
facts came to light through the publ
cation of a report that he had dis
cussed the matter with European dip
lomats here. This, however, was de
MED by some of the prominent diplo
mats mentioned in connection with it.
including the German ambassador.
Just how the American diplomats
abroad were to convey President VIII
sons feeling in the matter to the for
eign governments has not been dis
closed as white house officials, in the
absence of the president, declined to
discuss the subject.
1t is believed here, however, that
the president called attention to the
article in The Hague convention OF
1907, to which all the principal bellig
erents are signatory, which provides
for notice of twenty-four hours before
Commandment or attack in order that
noncom batants may remove them
selves from the danger one.
Whether there have been any Off
cial responses from the belligerents
was not known here today, but ,Ameri
can diplomats were instructed by the
president, it is understood. to handle
the matter with such discretion and
delicacy as would tend to end aerial
attacks without notice and at the same
time preserve the friendship which
the United States feels toward all the
belligerents involved.
1t is not believed that the president
mentioned any specific violation but
expressed his views on the general
subject of aerial attacks. Though OF
unofficial character, the communities
ton was intended by the president to
bring about a better understanding OF
aerial warfare without actually in
volying the American government in
the matter.
1t is supposed that the American
diplomats used their good Offices, con.
sequently, in a personal way with the
belligerent governments without per,
haps even mentioning the fact that
they were doing so at the request OF
the president, as such methods OF OBJ.
tanning desired end are not unusual
in diplomacy.
