Shipments Affected.

Contrary to general belief, it was
learned by Charleston coal operators
that the proposed advance in the
freight rate on West Virginia coal
would affect the lake trade as well as
inland shipments. The West Virginia
railroads filed new schedule of rates
for lake shipments with the interstate
commerce commission two weeks be-
fore the fling of that which provides
for an advance of fifteen cents a ton
on the transportation of coal to the
inland markets. Despite the fact that
the first petition was filed with the
commission, the railroads, 1t is said,
led the operators to believe that the
advance that has been asked for
would not affect lake shipments. The
present rate on lake shipments from
the Kanawba district and other coal
producing centers of West Virginia is
S1.02 a ton. An advance of fifteen
cents on the ton, as proposed by the
railroad companies, would boost the
rate to SLY a ton.

GREY WARNS suLeARs.

London-Sir Edward Grey took a
hand in the Balkan situation, and in
the House of Commons gave the an
swer of the Allies to the probable in
tervention of Bulgaria on the side of
Germany. In perfectly friendly lam
guage the Foreign Secretary intimat-
cd that the patience of the Entente
powers was exhausted and that Bull
garia must come down on one side
of the fence or the other or come 10
grief.
Bulgaria's decision must now be
made very quickly, and it is hoped
here that the suggestion of what is
likely 10 happen should she join Ger
many will be sufficient Among the
best informed listeners Sir Edwards
warning was held TO indicate that Bull
garia could never again expect help
or support from the Allies no matter
what might befall her.
The belief that Bulgaria never had
any real intention of joining forces
with Germany, but merely intended to
impress the Allies in order to secure
her own terms, is strengthened in
many quarters Oy Sir Edward Grey's
speech. Now that Bulgaria has found
that England will not accede to any
such extortion. it is believed that there
will be a considerable moderation OF
her provocative policy.

The German Emperor has arrived

Decision Announced.

With the reservation that it had
nothing to do with the wisdom or
propriety of the act, the Supreme
Court of Appeals announced it's deci-
sion UNFOLDING the constitutionality of
the new Williamson charter, and held
the appointees to the Offices of COM
missioners of the city for term Of
two years, were entitled to the Offices
now held by elected officials under
the old charter.
There were five cases on which the
court passed, all involving the same
questionable constitutionality of the
act of the legislature in passing a
charter bill giving the governor of the
state the right to appoint municipal
officers-those two of most import
ance being Orland II. Booton, ap-
Cointed mayor, against A. C.. Pinson,
elected mayor, and Gil T. Dudgeon,
appointed clerk, against James S.
Hall, elected city clerk.

London.-The French made further
gains in their fight for the important
town of Lens in the Artois region of
northern France. and in a series of
attacks with hand grenades got much
nearer to its radiating lines Of rail-
ways.
These roads are line of communi-
cation OF vital consequence to the
Germans, who are defending them
with utter disregard of the cost.
The Anglo-French troops won addi-
tional ground in the Givenchy wood
and captured more German machine
guns and a considerable number of
prisoners in the Champagne region.
Reports indicate that there is to be

they are to be increased soon by
100000 under the plans of the War
