EXPRESS CHARGES
WILL BE INCREASED
interstate Commerce Commission
Decides that Companies Need
Additional Revenue.
COMMODITY RATE NOT AFFECTED

WASHINGTON, July 22.-The In
terstate Commerce commission de-
cided today that the revenues of the
principal express companies of the
United States are inadequate and
modif ed its former order to provide
additional income.
The fabric of the present express
rates is composed OF three factors:
An allowance OF 20 cents for col
lection and delivery Of each shipment
which does not vary with weight or
distance; a rail terminal allowance
of 25 cents per 100 pounds which
varies with the we ght, but not with
the distance, and the rail transpor-
tation rate per 100 pounds, which
varied with the weight, the distance
end the zone.
In accordance with the petition of the
companies. the commission modified its
order to permit transportation of the
tlrSt and second factors. The effect is
TO increase the collection and delivery
NAN"ohS0 U Contb AOT eHcn Shipment and
to reduce the rail terminal allowance at
the rate Of one-twentieth Of l cent a
pound. As the weight increases the
scent increase is gradually reduced, so
that on shipments OF more than 100
pounds the reimbursement will not make
any change. Substantially, no COM
modify rates will be affected. In all
events, any change in the rates will, with
few exceptions, be substantially lower
than those prevailing when the commits
sion established the zone system in Feb
ruary, 1914.
BY that means, the express companies
are expected 30 increase their gross reve-
nues about 3.s6 per cent. The commits
sion's report shows that the net oper-
ating revenues of the four big com
panies have decreased to a deficit OF
H,1S2.s11 in the year 1sl4-1915, and in the
same period operating income decreased

While the financial condition of GER

basis of rates in zone No. I, the terri

AERIAL TORPEDO
BOAT PROJECTED
Rear Admiral Fiske Invents Device
for Carrying Big Bomb by
Giant Aeroplane.
RADIO WAVES DIRECT COURSE


WASHINGTON. July 22.--An
aerial torpedo boat for attack on
ships in protected harbors is pro-
jected in patents just issued, 1t was
learned today, to Rear Admiral
Bradley A. Fiske. now attached to
the navy war college, but former aid
for operations to Secretary Daniels.
The plan contemplates equipping
a monster aeroplane, similar to a
number now under construction in
this country for the British govern
ment. with a whitehead torpedo of
regulation navy type.
swooping down at distance Of five
sea miles from the object OF attack. the
air craft would drop It's deadly passenger
into the water just as Il would have been
launched from a destroyer. The impact
sets the torpedo's machinery into motion
and It is off at a speed OF more than
forty knots an hour toward the enemy
ships.
Admiral EIske believes that the flying
torpedo boat would mako II possible 10
harbor The range OF the newest navy
torpedoes Is 1900 yards and even the
older types will be effective at 1000 yards.
Carried on a huge areoplane, the 1900
pound weapon would be taken over har-
Dor defenses at an altitude safe from gun
fire. once over the bay, the machine
would glide down to within ten or twenty
feet Of the water. the torpedo rudders
would be set and IT would be dropped to
do its work while the aeroplane rose and
sped away
Acroplancs to carry "A ton of dead
weight have been perfected by several
countries Russia IL said TO have several
that will carry twenty men and the new
British air craft will have a similar
capacity.
II Is said TO be possible that a type Of
radio-controlled torpedo might be en-
ployed. one aeroplane carrying the tor
pedo and another the wireless machinery
TO control the missil's flight through the
water. II il pointed out that Admiral
Fiske secured patents on such method
of control In 1907 when he was lieutenant
commander in the navy. They are said
to be 10 broad and far reaching as TO
underlie all submarine subsequent de-
veloprnsnt OF radio control devices.

Since the aerial torptdo plan was adj

and the commission now rules that
it does not find the practice unrea-
sonable or discriminatory, and con-
sequently it declines to take action
against the corporation. This de-
cision is based doubtless upon the
reasoning that the subscriber who
merely fails to pay his bill desires a
continuation of the service. other
wise he would give notice of discon-
tinuance and request the removal of
the telephone from the premises. If
the subscriber can secure a suspen-
sion of the service for one, two or
three or even more months by merely
failing to pay his bill, being mean
while immune from charge, he enjoys
an advantage over the promptly pay
ing subscriber who, wishing a sus-
pension of service for, say, the va
cation months of summer, asks to be
put upon half rates. A charge for
full service during period of sus-
pension, following a failure to pay a
bill. is in the nature of penalty for
failure to live up to the contract. This
decision. which favors the telephone
company, is not to be interpreted as
signifying, however, that the public
utilities commission regards all the
charges Of the company as reason
able. 1t has still to complete its val
uation OF the corporations property
as the basis for an adjustment of

The Dardanelles Campaign.

The absolute contradiction between
the Turkish and English reports re-
garding the operations along the
Dardanelles leaves the observer of
the war in state of confusion. Lon
don claims that the allied forces have
made steady progress toward the oc-
cupation of the peninsula, while Con
stantinople asserts thai the British
and French troops have been system
atically repul,ed Nevertheless, the
repeated mention of geographic
al names in the dispatche. indicates
that the invading forces have. with
the exception of the French who
landed on the Asiatic side of the
straits, advanced considerably since
the Decentralization. The with
drawai of the French from their first
landing point IS stated in London to
have been in accordance with the ar
ranged program, and has not affected
the campaign on the peninsula. If
the attacks upon the Turkish posi-
tons are successful the peninsula
must soon be evacuated by the sui
tan's troops, and the capital itself be-
comes menaced. The all-important
point, however. for the allies is TO
clear the Dardanelles, and until this
is done there will be no victory in the
campaign.
