SOUTHERN ROADS SAY
RATES MUST BE Higher
Urge that All Freight Be Increased 10
Per Cent or Portion of Traffic
5 Per Cent.

The Southern carriers put UP to the
Interstate Commerce Commission yeSter-
day two propositions under the Cummins
act. now under consideration by the COM
mission. one that their freight rates on
June will be automatically increased 10
per cent, or that they will be increased
Is per cent on a portion of their traffic
The brief. filed by r. Walton Moore and
Charles J. Rixey. jr.. says:
The position of the carriers is that. in
the event of no change being made. they
would be compelled. in assessing and col
lecting transportation charges, to use the
10 per cent basis. but at the same time
they announce that they have no desire
to be brought to that point. and the
Southern lines ask that they be allowed
to publish an amendment to rule one of
Southern classification, which, while
preventing an automatic 10 per cent. in
crease on all traffic OF the rates which
are now applied where the transporta-
ton is under the existing bill of lading
and subject to the terms of rule one.
would produce an increase of per cent
on only a part OF the traffic. which does
not now move under rates based upon
specific valuation, such as live stock ana
household goods.
Passing the proposition that if the tar
IN status quo is unchanged, the 10 per
cent provision will become Immediately
operative. and assuming that the new
law will produce conditions furnishing
the most substantial reasons for allowing
the carriers additional revenue. the out
standing fact is the physical impossibility,
except by the method which the Southern
lines propose. of making any publication
prior to June 2. which will secure such
revenue"
The statement adds that the carriers
course is the only alternative. except
the automatic operation of the 10 per
cent provision. to the injustice of the
carriers being compelled TO sustain the
burdens imposed by the new legislation
without any means of to any extent
whatever recouping the losses which they
will suffer-

New York, April 23.-Jess Willard

knocked out Jack johnson. That
about sums up the view of the critics
in New York regarding his debut at

stepped out on the stage il was dis
covered that somebody had stolen his
voice or the champion had himself
misplaced IL.
He opened his mouth, but the words
wouldn't come. He made several

nation is that New York audiences
like to appear high-browish.
Most of them do not care a whoop
about the Shaw satire or the Shaw
thinly yelled thrusts-they go to the
Shaw show for the satisfaction Of
hearing themselves talk about the
plays.
The Shavian audience is an enigma
Two of his plays are now running

seats. and yet there are a dozen other
shows where satire is better. wit

is of much higher standard.

Action by Daniels Regarded
as Long Step Toward Bet
ter Preparedness.
GAMES LIKE REAL WAR
New Plan Adopted for Making Up
Maneuvers and Strategieal
Exercises.
GAMES LIKE REAL Wal

Secretary Daniels announced yesterday
his adoption of an innovation in the
navy. which is regarded by all elements
in the naval service as the greatest
single step toward a more efficient stra-
tegical operation of the fleet and better
preparation of the navy for war that has
been taken in years.
What the Secretary has done is TO
put into effect a new plan for the max
ing up of the war games and strateSicai
exercises which constitute the basis OF
the training of teh fleet for war.
Navy Elements Co-ordinated.
Heretofore the war games have been
prepared by the commander-in-chief OF
the fleet and his staff: that is. the eie-
ment which had to carry out the stru-
tegical exercises was required TO map
out it's own work. Orders just signed
by Secretary Daniels give approval tc
war game plans prepared conformity by
the general board of the navy. the Nava.
War College and recommended by the
aid for operations For the hrst time,
therefore. the war game plans are the
result of a coordination OF the various
clements Of the navy. This is regarded
as marking the beginning of a ne"
epoch.
War Games in Peace Times.
What is considered the greatest adVan-
tage is that there will be built up under
the new plan a body of officers who
will be doing in time of peace just what
some one in the navy would have to do
in case the United States were at war.
1t is expected that the war plan section
of the general board will be enlarged,
and the work of the War College DC
brought into closer cooperation with the
feet and with the bureau of operations
so that all the elements necessary TO
operation of the feet in actual war will
be working harmoniously in time OF
