BATTLEsHIPs STEAMING UP

If the government of the United
States is putting up q war front in
the face of its Mexican tronbles, it is
going about the business with a de.
gree of caution that disarms ordinary
suspicion of hostile motive.
Reluctantly conceding that the
%batt1eships Louisiana and New Hamp'
shire are on the way to Vera Cruz. i,
says they are going there merely tc
take the place of a gunboat requisi'
toned to carry the Brazilian minister
to New Orleans, the minister having
been expelled from Mexico by Car.
rama.
1t is further conceded that the
United States land force along the
boundary line is being strengthened.
but it is on account of the raids OF
bandits and other disreputable per.
sons from the Mexican side of the
line. That is all. Merely common
place Incidents.
The fact that Carranza has become
Obstreperous since the powers OF
South and Central America joined
with the United States in a discus.
sion of ways and means for the re-
storatlon of Mexican order has not
escaped the attention of thoughtful
O%nlOokers.
The Brazilian minister and the
Gautemalan minister, both retired at
Carranza's suggestion, represent
countries participating in the pan.
American conference at Washington
and New York, and the Brazilian
minister has been the representative
of the United States in Mexico.
These acts, coupled with the move.
ment of ships and troops are sugges-
tive, perhaps being the shadow of an
intention to cease watching and wait
ing and take a trip on the throat of a
national malefactor.
If SO, the administration is not 60
ing to let il be known, at least until
the pan-Americans finish what they
have to do and either join the United
States or stand aloof.

Among the Washington plans for the

Army Of the Republic, to be held there
September ~ to October 8, is a repro.
duction Of the grand review after the
Civil War which ended half a century

which the boys in blue swung up Penn

Of camp and fighting, cannot be brought

and there will be many of the old boys
in the marching columns that day.

WESTERN ADVANC RATE CASE

in presenting the case from the general
standpoint, and then each state pre-
serted its case as to the effect of the
proposed advances in the particular
state, and it will be seen that the ex-
hibits introduced by the South Dakota
Railroad Commission convinced the In
terstate Commerce Commission that
there should he no advance in the coal
rates to South Dakota stations.
This case was tried before Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Daniels and
Attorney Examiner Watkins of the In
terstate Commerce Commission in Chi
cago. The trial began March a, and
ended May 10, 1915, and forty volumes
of testimony taken. 1t was a tremend-
GUS task, and all parties connected with
it, both on the part of the railroads and
the states, were utterly exhausted at
its close.
All advances to South Dakota were
denied.
The South Dakota Railroad Commits
sion and it's rate expert, statician and
attorney feel amply repaid for the
strenuous work put into this case.
The winning of this case means a
saving of half a million a year to the
people of South Dakota.

senger rate case for the Michigan Rail

The news was almost too good to be
true, and after comforting with Com
missioner Murphy and MI. Kelley, rate
expert, it was decided not to give out
the information until the news contain

morning a telegram was received from
the chairman of the committee which
reads as follows:
Commission denies advance of 80 per
cent of traffic involved in western advance
rate case. Advances denied on grain,
grain products, live stock, packing house
products, fertilizer, hide, cotton piece

ed on fruits and vegetables from Texas,

that while advances were granted on
coal to all other points, they were deni-
ed as to South Dakota.

composed of leading business men
