One Schedule Excepted.

There new rates represented material
reductions and the carriers appealed to
tho courts. Finally the Supreme Court a
few months ago sustained the commits
sions order and the carriers put into
effect the reduced tariffs except under
what was known as schedule &c" In
the case OF that schedule they petitioned
the commission not TO make the order
Anal. but to hear further testimony.
This schedule comprised more than 100
commodities. such as canned goods. dry
goods leather goods. eartNern and stone
wares, hardware and tools, iron and steel
articles, paper and wire fencing ana

which would be obtained by cities along

The railroads pointed out further that
traffic conditions were very different
since the opening of the Panama Canal
from those OF two years ago when the
Interstate commerce Commission de-
cided the case.
The commission excepted schedule
"C' from its original order and to-day
granted the application of the carriers,
permitting rates TO be established as
petitioned by them and certain shippers.
In acknowledging the new element in
troduccd hy the competition OF the
Panama Canal the commission appar-
entity opens the way for an application
on the part of the railroads to reopen
all OF the other schedules in the inter
mountain rate case. II would not be
surprising here II such move were
taken by the carriers with the view &c
restoring many OF the OH rates.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1915-02-12

Concerning the Panama Canal, the
decision Of the commission says in part
1T is evident from the whole record
that whatever may have been the degree
OF competition in the past between the
rail carriers and the water carriers as
to the rates on these articles concerning
which additional relief is now sought.
We are witnessing the beginning OF a
new era in transportation between the
Atlantic and the Pacific coasts. To Sc
cure any considerable percentage of this
coast to coast traffic, rates on many
commodities must be established by the
rail lines materially lower than those
now existing"
Coal and pig iron are excluded from
the operation Of the decision, and 1t is
believed that these two commodities will
| form the subject of future proceedings
| before the commission.
II is estimated that one-thrd of the
traffic moving from the East TO the West
! is carried under schedule &c"
The decision OF the commission after
! reviewing the history of the case and
the application of the carriers for relief
under the long and short haul clause
! says in part
( Relief was sought by the carriers as
TO the rates on about 100 carload COM
modify items and about fifty less than
carload Items. These carload rates Ia
, the Pacific coast range from 80 10 %
cents per 100 pounds and the less than
carload commodity rates range for Sl,lO
TO Sl.75 per 100 pounds, These com
modities are such as originate in large

are relatively low.

less than 10 cents per hundred pound

The President is insisting upon the

which makes the Government shipping
project a permanent undertaking, while
House leaders are urging substitute

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
CIATED PRESS.

New York, July special: The
campaign in the D~ardanelles has
again been brought to the forefront
by an official report from Gen. Sir
Ian Hamilton, commanding the Brit
ish forces, which tells of desperate
fighting on the Gallipoli peninsula.
During a period covering five days,
from June "a to July 2, $50 Turk
ish soldiers were killed and $4,000
wounded, according to Gen. Hamil-
toms estimates.
In the series of fierce engagements
the allied troops were splendidly sup
ported by the British destroyer Scor-
pion. On occasions the British were
obliged to yield ground. but the po-
sitions were retaken with bayonet
and bomb.
Gen. Hamilton reports that the
Turkish war minister, Enver Pasha.
was in the Turkish trenches on June
20, and that it was by his direct or
der that the three Turkish battalions
engaged undertook such an active of
fensive which resulted disastrously.
1t is unoffi IDEALLY reported from
'Constantinop e by way of Berlin that
the British I'll themselves lost 10000
men during the last twelve days
fighting arou nd Seddul Bahr, the eli
max of the carnage being reached on

PROVISIONING AN AMERICAN BATTLEsHIP.
For instance, there is canned corned
beef, which is SO well understood and
so well liked in the navy that its use
TO a certain moderate extent is not
only welcome, but most welcome to the
men-they like it. Then canned to-
matoes and a few other staples; canned
fruits and some vegetables canned are
very ~serviceable and are used right
along. But the great majority of all
the food furnished to the men now, at
least in the battleship feet, Is fresh
food-fresh vegetables, fresh meats,
fresh bread, etc"
Surely this Is enough to make our
old sea dogs rise in protest from their
graves. They could remind their
young followers of today of the trying
times Of wooden ships and canvas
when salt horse" "sowbelly," hard
tack and the like constituted the main
elements of the sailors ration. Timed
foods, as we know them now, would
indeed have been a dellcacy in the
decades gone, but the fighting jacky Of
those days had to be content with such
d~electables as ''scouse," "~lobscouse,"
soft tack" soft tommy "skillaga-
lee,' 'burgoo.'' "doughboys," dogs
body and duff" the latter not always
able to boast of plums. The water,
too, that our seamen drank In those
other days was both scant In its al
lowance when on the open ocean and
as likely as not tainted and unpala-
table.
The public little realizes what nice
figuring must be done In order to keep
expenditures within bounds. With a
total enlisted force of approximately
$4,000 men Uncle Sam has to pay more
than $7.400,0O0 Annually to make the
sinner man" happy. Remember that
it costs more to feed the sick, and
while the daily ration for the well does
not involve an outlay of more than
the 80 cents lawfully allowed. still the
general average for everybody brings
the figure up to nearly 81 cents per N
ton per diem.
