RAILROADS ARE
NOT RESPONSIBLE
-fas~t~T>.s. .A
III EY WERE NOT THE CAUSE OF
THE NEW RATES 1usT AN
NouNcED.

An official of one of the railway
lines here, speaking of the new freight
tariffs for the southeast, which are
effective January 1, yesterday stated
that the impression was seemingly
prevailing that all the railroads were
responsible for the rate adjustment.
This is not true" he stated. "The
cry went up from towns all over the
southeast as to rate discrimination
and was brought to the interstate
commerce commission. and that body
adopted what is known as rule four
and pertains to long and short haul
rates. The railroads were instructed
to conform to the rule, and have had
to do so, and adjust their rates as
best they could, to the end that they
would not suffer from decreased rev.
enue."
A copy of rule, or section, four of
the interstate commerce commission
having been received, it is published
herewith in full, and explains the po-
sition confronting the railroads, and
which they have sought to solve by
publication of the new tariffs, where
in the rates have been adjusted:
Section 4. That it shall be unlaw-
full for any common carrier subject to
the provisions of this act to charge
or receive any greater compensation
in the aggregate for the tfansporta-
ton of passengers, or of like kind OF
property, for a shorter than for a
longer distance over the same line or
route in the same direction, the route
being included within the longer dis
tance, or to charge any greater com.
pensation as through route than the
aggregate of the intermediate rates
subject to the provisions of this act
but this shall not be construed as
authorizing any common carrier with
in the terms of this act to charge OF
receive as great compensation for a
shorter as for longer distance
Provided, however, that upon appli
cation to the interstate commerce
commission such common carrier may
in special cases after investigation be
authorized by the commission tc
charge less for longer than for short
er distances for the transportation oil
passengers or propertay; and the com
mission may from time to time pre-

SUSPICION IS

FRENCH PRESS FEARS PRoLoNG-
ED SILENCE OF THE GREEK
GOVERNMENT.

PARIS, Dec. 3.--The prolonged
silence of the Greek government
Respecting the demands OF the
entente allies has again aroused the
suspicion of the French press. One
newspaper goes so far as to assert
that Greece has concluded or is about
to conclude treaty with Bulgaria
by the terms of which Monastir and
the Vardar valley in Seryia are
"ceded" to Greece in return for aid

airy forces.
French correspondents at Saloniki
indicate that the .Bulgarians, not
withstanding promises made by the
Germans that Bulgars would not
enter Monastir, have resolved to take
that city, which is their real objective
realizing that the Germans are not
in position to stop them.

LONDON, Dec. 3-Saloniki has re-
port that Russian troops have entered
Bulgaria. Theredis no confirmation.
1t has been assumed that Russian
concentration near the Roumanian
border was for use in Balkan opera
tions, but Roumania's continued neu-
trality has blocked their passage by
land by way of the Danube into
Bulgaria, if one were intended by
such routes. Thersghave been no re-
cent indications of a Russian move
by water.
Monastir, the southerns Servian city
whose fate has been in doubt for
days. apparently is in the hands of
an Austro-G German force. A Saloniki
dispatch giving the news says the Aus

was occupied and that the Bulgarians
did not enter.
