EXPRESS COMPANIES
To INCREASE RATES
Interstate Commerce Commission
Finds Present Revenues Are
Inadequate

Washington, July 22.-The Inter
state Commerce Commission decided
to-day that the revenues of the prin-
cipal express companies of the United
States are inadequate and modified
it's former order to provide additional
Income.
The express companies are expected
to increase their gross revenues about
3S6 per cent. The commissions re-
ports shows that the net operating
revenues of the four big companies
have decreased to deficit of $1,132,S11
in the year 1914-1915 and in the same
period operating income decreased
$2,449,S63.
while the financial condition of
certain of the petitioners is more fav-
orable than that of Others" says the
report, 'it clearly appears that as a
whole they are operating at a loss"
The commission declined to change
the basis of rates in zone No. 1, the
territory east of the Mississippi and
north of the Ohio rivers.

FORTRESS PROVES EFFECTIVE

Desperate fighting continues be-
tween the Tcutonic armies pressing
upon Warsaw and the Russian forces

balance.
Advances along all the fronts are
claimed in the latest German and Aus
trian official statements, but Petrograd
while not denying the closer drawing
| I'm of the Austro- German lines in some
sectors. asserts that these lines arc be-
ing held stationary or hurled back
ward at vital points.
On the important front south of
LubIin, a serious breach in which
would mean the cutting of the Lublin-
! ChelIn Railroad line and a division of
the Russian armies to the north and
the south, the Russian resistance seems
to be strongest. The PetroSrad state
ment claims the Teutonic offensive has
| been arrested there.
Counter attacks have driven the
Germans along the line of the river
Narcw to the north of Warsaw, the
Russians declare. They assert also
that their lines ON the left bank of the
Vistula 10 the southeast OF the city are
holding.
The fortress of Nowo Georgievsk
seems to be giving effective help III
keeping the Tcutons in check to the
northwest, for the time at least.
In the Baltic provinces the German
advance is progressing with their out
posts barely twenty miles from Riga
their immediate objective.
Along the Austro-I Italian front Rome
claims the gain of n part of the heights
commanding Gorilla and the Isonzc
bridges from the right bank of the
river. The latest report from Vienna
declares all attacks on Gorilla have
been checked and that a height thai
the Italians had captured was re-
| taken.

TIME TO PREPARE
FOR WAR IS now
So Says Hudson Maxim in Stirring
Address Before Chamber
of Commerce

''The time to prepare for war is
now. not when the enemy is upon us, -
said Hudson Maxim. the famous in
ventor of war material, to-day. Mr..
Maxim was the speaker at the noon
day luncheon of the Harrisburg Cham
Der of Commerce.
His subject was Things We Lack to
Make This Nation Safe Against Inva-
sion and Able to Maintain Its National
Honor Abroad by Force of Arms if
Necessary" Mr.. Maxim in an impress
sive manner referred to the tremen-
dous loss this country would incur by
reason of a conflict brought on because
our present inadequate army and navy
encouraged other nations to provoke
us and said the amount would pay for
a dozen armies and navies.
In the opening of his address the
famous inventor said: "A most intelli-
gent spirit is awakening in this coun-
try, and the people are becoming
stronger and stronger in the belief
that there is danger in delay"
We should do something to prepare
against that day." said the famous in
ventor. There are two ways of meet
ing the enemy. One is taught us by
Carnegie and Bryan, who would meet
tho invader and preach peace to him.
II cannot understand why men are
so blind as to think for a moment that
we do not need preparation. What
other nations have failed to do in time
of peace should be an example for us.
II we are to arm against war, now is
the time. If we are to insure against
war. now is the time to take out our
policy"
AFTER war is begun is no time to
start preparation. England and France
did that. France before the present
war was urged to prepare 500, 900 men

New York, July 22.-Two dead and
six seriously injured, one probably
moFtally, was the harvest reaped by
rioters at the STANDARD Oil and Tide
water plants in Bayonne to-day as the
result of two attacks on the inside de-

fires also occurred, one in the Stand
ard plant where watchman's house
was virtually destroyed, the other i'm
the yard of the Tidewater Company
where slaves and lumber were stored.
This last fire was started by means of
burning oily waste thrown over the
walls by rioters. 1t was speedily
checked with trifling loss.
Those killed in the fighting were
Stanley Murefko, % years old, and
NicOlay IwasISiu, 10, both of whom
were shot through the heart by Win

the guards. The men were killed

NEW AMERICAN NOTE
ON WAY TO GERMANY
Flashed Over Cables to London
During Night; May Reach
Berlin Tonight
EXTRA SESSION MENTIONED
Another Disaster Would Likely
Mean Reassembling of
Congress
EXTRA SESSION MENTIONED
BY Associated Press

Washington. D. c., July 22.-The
new American note to Germany is on
its way to Berlin. 1t cleared from
Washington over the telegraph wires
during the night and to-day was being
flashed over the cables to London and
thence to Copenhagen, where 1t goes
over land wires again to the German
foreign office. 1t should reach its destl-
nation tonight or early tomorrow.
Secretary Lansing announced that
the text of the note would be given
out here Friday afternoon for publica-
ton in morning papers of Saturday.
Concerning future conduct of Ger
man submarines, the note does not
necessarily call for an answer, as 1t an
nounces the intention of the United
States to regard any further violation
of international law resulting in the
loss of American lives as unfrtendly.
On the other hand, the American
demands for disavowal of any inten-
ton to sink the Lusitania and the re-
quest for reparation are renewed in
the new note, and very likely those,
with other points, such as the willing
ness of the United States to act as an
intermediary between the belligerents
to adjust rules of maritime warfare,
probably will be the basis for further
discussion by Germany.
No Immediate Answer
An answer is not expected for at
least two or three weeks on those
phases. 1t is generally agreed among
officials here, however, that any loss of
American lives in the meantime would
in itself raise the question of action
irrespective of any formal reply from
Germany.
The American note is in the nature
of a final statement on the principles
involved in which the United States
takes the unalterable position that the
accepted rules of international law
must govern the rights of neutrals ir-
respective of retaliatory measures of
the belligerents against one another.
What action would be taken by the
United States in the event of further
violation of American rights is not
disclosed in the new note nor was it
w1cially commented on otherwise here
to-day, but a general understanding
