RATE INCREASE IS SEEN.
!. C. c. Experts Believe Congress
Has Aided the Railroads,

That railroads have had their rates
increased automatically by an act

Congress Is the opinion of experts on
the interstate commerce commission
The law prohibits railroads from issu-
ing bills of lading restricting their lia-
bility on shipments.
1t has been the practice heretofore
1t is explained, for the railroads tc
carry. at a lower rate, shipments or
which the shipper did not demand tina,
the road bear the full liability of any
damage II the shipper required the
road to bear the full liability an in
crease of 10 per cent was added to the
ordinary rate, as an insurance rate, il
was declared. The effect of the law
which was introduced into the Con-
cress by Senator Cummins, is to pro-
hibit the roads from restricting their
liability.

TALKS OF ETHICS OF WAR.
Strife Not Necessarily Moral Evil,
Rev. DR.. Pace Asserts.

War is not necessarily a moral evil.
said Rev. DIR. Edward A. Pace in an
address on THE Ethics of War Accord
ing to st. Thomas before the student
body Of the Catholic University in Nc
Mahon Hall yesterday afternoon.
If three main conditions are fulfilled.
DR.. Pace explained. as derived from the
wisdom of the ancient writer. war may
be justified
The three conditions are:
War must only be declared and car
red on by the supreme authority of the
state.
War must be undertaken for just
cause only, to redress wrongs or avert
those that threaten.
The purpose of war must be upright,
not because of international hatred or
for mere territorial acquisition or mere
glory.
