reason to believe that Dunkirk may
expect another air raid any daylight

do night work and so far Dunkirk has

still on Belgian soil, within range

Within very few hours, if the Bel

occupying the very house In which
the king is living. Within twenty-four
hours, at the most, the Germans would
be in Dunkirk unless the French
braced and stopped them
America hears much about the Bel

Belgian army that it may be supposed
that there is no Belgian army left.
The fact is that $4,000 men are in the

Effect Of Opening Of Panama Canal

United Press Leased Wire Service. 1
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-vital re
LET to western railroads and to middle
western shippers was embodied In q
decision Of the Interstate commerce
commission today in the so-called
"intar;mountain case" whereby the
roads are permitted to establish rates
from the Missouri river territory to
Pacific coast points, lower than to In
termediate destinations.
The decision was brought about by
the revolutionary effect Of the opsn-
Ing OF the Panama canal upon trans
portation rates to Pacific coast terri.
tory. The Pacific coast terminals to
which the new rates will apply, are
the points at which AtlanticP Pacific
steamships deliver freight.

canal from New York to San Fran

straits, they represented. They de.
clared they faced double loss Of rev

The net result OF this condition, II

been the loss Of thousands OF Pacific
coast customers to middle western
shippers or their compulsory removal
to locations nearer the Atlantic sea-
board. The relief affords industries
in the Chicago territory the opportun-
ity to continue supplying their Pacific
coast customers.
Additional relief was sought by the
carriers as to the rates on about 100
carload Of commodity items and about
so less than carload items. These
carload rates to the Pacific coast
range from about SO cents to 95 cents
per 100 pounds, ana the less than car
