Forcing the
Dardanelles.

The great fleet OF the Allies is
forcing the Dardanelles, and
sounding the death.knell to Tur-
key i'll Europe.
Constantinople is trembling. as
the Turkish forts succumb, and
before long, Russia will have free
passage from the Black Sea to
the Mediterranean, and will Sc
cure that which she has striven
tor during the past three OF four
centuries. The Turk leaves Eur
ope with the tumilt of war, just
as he entered Constantioople in
14S3. Again will christian nat
ions control the leading city of
the Levant.
Another deadly blow will be
dealt to German aspiration, and
the great Bear will be more pow
erful than ever before.
An immediate result OF the
clearing OF the Dardanelles will
be the great cut i'll wheat prices
due to the Russian wheat surplus
being'put upon the market.
This great increase in available
grain will do much to aid the
Allies. especially; since the block
will prevent much OF it reaching
Germany or Austria. The leu.
tons can do very little to help
their allies, the Turks in this
crisis, indeed, the passage OF the
Dardanelles scenes to be looked
upon as being one of the most
important moves IN the present
war.
England and France are favor
able to Russian claims in that
direction. tor the first time in his.
tory. The great war seems to
be entering upon the first phase
of it's final stage. 1t will be a
long and hard fight, and the
worst is yet to come. when the
lighting on the part of the Teu-
tonic Allies will be strictly defen-
sive, but the beginning of this end
is already at hand. The booming
OF the great guns at Constantin.
ople are indirectly opening up the
road to Berlin and Vienna. Ger
man high water mark was reach
ed when Antwerp was taken.
With great armies pushing back
their defenders by sheer force OF
numbers from all side. with star
walton facing them, the Germanic
nations will go down; and ram
pant militancv will die by the
forces its invoked.

Mrs. Freda Barnurn
Cuff Coming.

On Friday. March Goth. the
Oakley public will be favored by
a visit of Mrs. Freda Barnum
Cluff, who will read "Beasley's
Christmas Party"
She is well recommended as
being highly accomplished in elo-
cution and should be able to give
the people an exceptional treat.
Some of the press comments are
as follows:
A very interesting recital was
given at the Normal School Tues
day evening by Mrs. Cluff of
Provo, Utah. The lecture proved
that Mrs. Cuff is an artist as
well as an instructor.
Albion Nugget.
The story "Beasley Christmas
Party. is one of deep interest,
and as Mrs. Cluff depicts the var
ious characters in her natural.
easy way, she holds her listeners
in such rapt attention all through
the reading that one really regrets
when it is finished.

Parcel Post not a
Money Maker.

1T was calculated that the par
Gel post would render an immense
proht to the gOvernme1 and
department officials prophesied
Ill the beginning that Uncle Sam
would clean up from $40 900 600
to $50, 100000 annually upon
this branch ot the service. The
postotfice itself appears to be in
considerable of Il quandary as to
the results OF the parcel post, but
the special Joint Committee OF
Congress, headed by Senator
Bristow, has made a report upon
the parcel post. and while it does
not deal specifically with it's re-
venue producing po wersi it clearly
indicates that this new feature i'm
postal affairs is not a money
maker.
The Post Office department
makes millions of dollars on first
class mail matter. and loses it,
and more. in carving newspap-
ers, merchandise and other class
es of mail. AS the principal tun-
ction OF the Post Office Depart.
nent rs to transmit communicat :
ions, the suggestion put forth by
Senator weeks boiles down to
the plain proposition that mas
much as letter mail is undoubt-
ediy able to pay its own way at
the one cent rate OF postage. the
people are entitled to that rate
but there is no attempt upon the
part OF Senator Weeks or anyone
else who thinks AS he does, to
conceal the fact one cent letter
postage would mean a higher
rate upon parcels and second
SldSS niali matter.
AS an Increased rate on second
class mail matter would affect
every publishing concern, it is
very easy to forsee that any mat
erial growth of this one cent let
ter postage idea along the above
lines will rapidly bring about the
concerted opposition of the pub
fishers against an increase in their
postage rates. At the same time
the large shippers of merchandise
through the mails will resist any
attempt at revision upward of
parcel post rates.
Undoubtedly Senator Weeks is
right; nevertheless there is little
probability Of one cent letter pos.
tage tor a good many years.

NO ships FOR
TRADE WITH
PHILIPPINES

Washington. March S.-Trade be-
tween the United States and the Phil
ippine islands has been virtually par
alyzed by lack of ships to handle the
commerce since the European war be-
gan. This situation was revealed to-
day in a letter from Secretary of Com
merce RediiCld to Secretary Garrison
of the war department 10 which Gov.
Genera, Harrison had appealed for re-
lief for the island shippers. The let
ter adds
80 long as there is no law giving us
any power over any shipping, the gov
eminent is powerless in the matter.
Private and corporate interests are in
control of the situation and we can
do nothing"
Secretary Redfeld said he had in
vestigated the request of Mr.. Harrison
that naval Golfers be used to trans
port the goods 10 the United States,
but found there was no power under
existing laws to utilize the ships for
such purpose.

dermen and 10 out of the Is councilmen.
The weather was i'd cal for election day and
the vote polled was big one-2939. In the mu-
nicpal election of 1914 the total vote polled was
2753, an unusually large vote, but that OF yes
terday exceeded it by 166.
But though the number of people who as
sembled at the polls during the day was unus-
ually large the election was most orderly one
and there was but very little trouble anywhere.
It was the greatest victory that the Republican
party has won in Augusta for years.

ANNULS
N.D.C0AL
RATELAW
Supreme Court Decides
Case Concerning
Railroads

Washington, March S.-The supreme
court today laid down the principle
that it is beyond the power of the
states to require a railroad to carry
one commodity or class of traffic at
a loss or only nominal profit, even
though an adequate profit is obtained
from its business as a whole, within
the state.
North Dakota Involved
Under this principle, the court an
nulled the North Dakota Ignite coal
rate law as to the Northern Pacific
and the Minneapolis, st. Paul & Sault
Ste Marie Railroads and the West
Virginia 2-cent passenger rate law
as to the Norfolk s. Western. Justice
Hughes announced the decisions. JUS
tioe Patney alone dissented.
In arriving at its general conclusion,
the court held that when a state Sc
lects one commodity or class of traf-
fic for regulation, it must apportion to
it q proper part Of all general ex
penses ard then allow substantial
compensation.
The state cannot estimate the cost
of carrying COAL said Justice Hughes
in the North Dakota case, by throw
ing the expense incident to the MAIN
tenance of the road bed and the gener-
al expenses, upon the carrying of
wheat; or the cost of carrying wheat
by throwing the burden of the upkeep
of the property upon coal and other
commodities"
