PROPOSED Rate RISES
FOUGHT BY Commuters
Metropolitan Association Contends
Before |. c. c. that Suggested Rail-
road Increases Are Unreasonable.

The Metropolitan Branch Commuters
Association, which is being heard before
the Interstate Commerce Commission, in
protest against proposed rate increases by
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. yes
terday continued its attempt to show that
the proposed rates and the service AFFORD
ed are disproportionate, and that COM
muters of the branch under the proposed
schedule would be bearing too great a
burden. The hearing was held at the
New Willard before Commissioner
Daniels.
The examination OF w. F. Loves, as
sistant general passenger agent for the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and Of John
J. Ekine, general accountant for the rail-
road, who formerly was general account
ant for the Washington Terminal Com
pany, occupied the morning and after
noon sessions. Mr.. Ekine is the last wit
ness the association will call. The rail-
road will take up its case today and prob
ably will call five witnesses.
Questioning failed to obtain any admis-
sion from Mr.. Loves that commuter busi-
ness rendered any profit to the railroad.
His testimony was to the effect that if
the railroad did not have the business of
the commuters, its revenues would Be- de-
creased. but its expenses also would be
less He admitted they were glad to get
the commuter business.
1t is expected by the commuters that
when the examination of Mr.. Ekine is
completed it will have been shown that
they would bear an unfair proportion of
the railroads expenses under the pro-
posed rate schedule. Mr.. Ekine expressed
the opinion that the share OF the railroad
in the earnings Of the terminal cOmDanV
should not be considered as a part Of
the revenues from passenger traffic be-
cause it was a return on an investment

MILITARY EXPERT LOOKS.
FOR Big GERMAN DRIVE.
Sees Plan for Violent Effort in West
Before Allied Armies Are
Entirely Assembled.

London. Jan. . 6 a. m).-WritiSg in
the Times of the pending spring cam
paign, Col. RepingtOn, the military eX-
pert, says today:
What England has TO expect is that
Germany may make a last violent effort
in the west before the allied armies are
all assembled, before the winter season
which contemplate abandoning neutral
ity place Germany at a manifest disad-
vantage.
Already we hear Of the Tandstrum in
front OF the German trenches in Flan-
ders, training battalions full Of half
fiedged soldiers behind them. and the
withdrawal for a period OF repOse OF
some Of the active army corps.
"On our part We must be prepared
to meet the replacement of first line
German troops in the trenches by
newer levies and assemble at one or
more points a great mass of active
army corps. From the last decisive
attempt to break through between
Arras and the Oise il is not an un-
likely front for such an operation, but
wherever it comes we must be ready
for il.
February and March are the most
likely months for the attempt We
shall not be foolish as to goad this or
that commander into a premature Of
fensive. We can bide our hour in the
knowledge that the commanders OF
the allies in the west fully realize
what Germany may be about, and are
quite prepared for her.
I'VE shall all welcome a German
advance and II no such advance takes
place then We shall act at our own
time. all the allies together, so that
whether we have already finally
more convuIsive effort on Germany's
part is still to be expected we can
make our minds easy concerning the
result.

Aviation is on the decline in Amer
Club brought out the fact that as a
SPORT flying no longer appeals on
the large scale which it did when
planes were a fresh wonder Of the
world.
At the New York banquet it was
pointed out that Congress has been
ex. .ceedingly slow in developing avia-
tors for use in war and as a result
the output of machines and the train
ing of aviators have languIshed.
1t was thought that many New
Workers. with wealth and a sportiye
inclination would take eagerly to fly
ing. but a few ventured into the
higher attitudes and then decided that
there were just as many thrills in
motoring.

HEN LAYS 5000 EGGS.

Caldwell. N. J.. Jan. 2s.-"old Reliable. g
a hen owned by Miss Elsie Dobbins,
challenges the world for ong-dlstance
laying. "Old Reliable" has just laid her
S,OOOth egg and still is occupying the
same old nest.
Though fourteen years old. she is ready
to meet any of the more frivolous folk
of the barnyard in a laying contest.
Statisticians figure that the eggs pro-
duced by ''Old Reliable" would make an
omelet large enough to cover the mead
ows on the golf links at Van Cortlandt
Park, New York.

FIRE AERIAL TORPEDOES

London, Jan. ga further installment
of the diary of the official eyewitness"
with the British forces was given out to-
day by the press bureau 1t deals largely
with recent air fighting and presents the
official version Of the battle in the clouds
over Dunkirk, in which, it appears, fifteen
British and German machines were en-
gagged. The diary follows:
January 19-The chief event today was
|, a successful aerial raid against Ghistelles.
, twelve miles west of Bruges The aero
planes reached their destination at dawn,
flying very low, and dropped several
bombs on a certain shed. It is impossible
to state exactly the damage done, but it
is known to have been considerable.
''On our right We had some excellent
practice with bombs ad trench mortars
against Germans who were attempting to
repair their parapets.
Germans Driven on.
January 22-Some frost and a little
wind. The Germans made an aerial raid
on a large scale against Dunkirk. One
of our aeroplanes on patrol duty saw sew
eral hostile machines approaching, gave
ChaRe to the first hostile machine and
opened fire on it. Two other British ma
chimes started and assembled to height
of 5000 feet where the action was pro-
ceeding
our patrols drove off with their fire
the two leading German machines, but
ten others had come up by the time the
three British machines were all in ac-
ton. After the Germans had dropped
several bombs over the harbor and the
town, the whole turned and few towards
their lines. Our aeroplanes pursued and
broN ght down one German machine by
a bullet through the cylinder.
The aeroplane pilot, the observer and
eight uneXplOded bombs were captured.
The observer was armed with a double
barreled pistol for firing chain shot Our
aviators' feat was distinctly meritorious
The raiders damage was slight.

THE GREAT WHITE WAY
By o. o. M'INTYRE.

Especial Correspondent OF The Washington HsraldJ
New York. Jan. G.-Herbert Swope,
said by many to be the best reporter
in New York. has been made city
editor of the Morning World as a re-
ward for having done some very sue
cessful work in the war zone. He
was in Europe on his vacation when
the fighting started and censoring was
not so strict.
Mr.. Swope's proportion was hastened
by the appointment of John ]. spur
geon. of the World staff, to executive
editorship of the Public Ledger in
Philadelphia. At a dinner given 10
Mr.. SpurgeOn some reminiscising was
done by some old members OF the
World staff.
Fire Commissioner Rober: Adamson,
formerly a World reporter. told how
a young cub was once sent to cover
He came back about o'clock in the
morning plainly disgusted
where is your story?" the city
editor finally asked HIM
''oh. there wasn't anything to re-
port" he said simply "the meeting
broke up in a big fight"
The trouble with swans is that they
have just no sense at all about the
weather. and only a little about other
things. Tom Donohue, who manages
the flock in Central Park, is having
his troubles just now for when the
mercury drops the swans just stick
around and stick around until by de-
grees-say twenty degrees above zero
they find themselves compelled to
stick around, being fozen in.
The swan waddles into such predica-
ment by swimming across the open
part of the lake and climbing on the
ice with its wet feet and settling
down for a short siesta.
After a swan has been in one posi-
tion on the ice for a few minutes he
becomes a part OF the regular scene.
Then IL begins TO squawk and Tom
Donohue has to take an open boat to
the rescue. The swan is chopped out
and taken to a warm place to thaw.
This has been a very busy swan
chopping season for Tom.
