by President GEORGE f. IDE Of the

LOUISIANA WINNER
IN R. R. RATE CASE
Shreveport Decision Reversed
by Commerce Commission.

Washington, Aug. 12.-Class rates
and commodity rates between Shreve-
port, La, and points in Southern Texas
were to-day pronounced by the Inter
state Commerce Commission unreason-
able and prejudicial to Shreveport, and
ordered readjusted The decision is
the elimination of the celebrated
Shreveport raTe case.
The Shreveport rate case decision.
handed down by the United States Su-
preme Court in June, 1914. was con-
sidered an epoch-making decision. The
case originated when the Interstate
Commerce Commission issued an order
to certain railroads operating in Lou
isiana and Texas, directing them TO
eaualize rates on shipments between
Shreveport, La. and Texas with other
rates between points on the same lines
q. their roads wholly within the State
of Texas.
The railroads asserted the para
mount authority Of the Texas commits
sion 70 fix rates within the state.
BY this latest decision of the Inter
state Commerce Commission that body
has practically decided TO abandon to
the states again the power acquired by
il under the Supreme Court decision,
and the effects of that decision, which
was hailed by the railroads with great
satisfaction as ending the tyranny over
them by state legislatures, have been
substantially nullified.

With the German Army in France

the German Emperor to-day unexpect-

The Emperor's visit was known TO
only a few high officers the previous
evening and came as a complete sur
prise to the troops, who were only too
obviously overjoyed that the Emperor
could find time to come to them.

The uniforms were of field gray, but
the attire of officers and men was,

and the more striking, as majority
of the soldiers wore their new steel
helmets.
The officers had discarded their
monotonous fatigue caps and had

Opponents of Transfer to
U. S. Say Parliament Is
Incompetent to Decide.
QUESTION TO BE
SETTLED TOMORROW
Radicals and Socialists Are in
Favor of Selling
Possessions.

Copenhagen. Aug. 12.-Final decision
on the sale of TIE Danish West Indies
to the United States may be postponed
nearly a north if the proposal oil
Radical and Socialist members of the
Folkething, for plebiscite, is adopted
on Monday. The Folkething, or lower
house, took recess to-day until Mon
day, after discussing the confirmation
of the sale.
The proposal of the Radicals and
Socialists calls for the approval OF the
treaty between Denmark and the
United STATES by Parliament. The ap-
proval by Parliament, however, will be-
come effective only if it is ratihed by
a majority vote of the plebiscite.
The advocates Ct the sale believe the
course proposed should meet the OBJ
jections Of the leading opponents, who
have been laying much stress on their
opinion that the present Parliam emit is
not competent to decide the matter
alone and that the people should have
a chance TO express its wishes.
The Radicals and Socialists, who are
in the majority in the lower house,
favor confirmation. In the Lanjsthing,
however, the Conservative and Left
Opposition appears certain 70 prevail.
Much of the opposition to confirma-
ton of the sale is not based on eco
nomic or broad grounds, but IS purely
political. 1t is due, mainly, to feel.
ing of resentment at the attitude oil
the government, which the directors
accuse of conducting negotiations with
the United States in secrecy and OF
DENYING that such negotiations were
under way until the very moment the
announcement was made that bargain
had been stuck.
JC. Christensen, former Prime Min
lister and now leader of the Left in
the Folkething, has declared his belief
that the existing Rigsdag is not com
petent to decide the West Indies 4ues-
ton. In the event of new elections,
however, he would support coniirma-
ton. The former Premier was mem
Der If the government of 1902, which
laid the proposal to sell the ISLANDS
before the Rigsdag. Then, as now, the
upper house oppt sed the government
proposal and defeated its confirmation.
New Rigsdag Puzzle.
The new constitution confers suf-
frsge upo1 women and domestic ser
wants. and also reduces the age OF
eligibility from thirty to twenty-nine
for the first general election. The total
number of voters viii, therefore, be
more than doubled. Hence, nobody is
brave enough 70 attempt to forecast

The troops had been drawn up in hol-

The officer in command of the regl-

fight on indefinitely for the Emperor
and the country's sake.
A "Hoch" that must have been heard
in the French lines went up before the
Emperor could answer. Then he SPOKE
in clear, ringing voice, thanking the
men.
In the centre of the hollow square
the Emperor decorated a number OF
the officers, and eventually took up. q
position on the road leading to the
front trenches, while the regiments
many of whom were composed OF ne"
troops, marched by in the famous goose
step.
The correspondent stood only fe"
yards distant and was able to note the
seemingly remarkable physical condi'
ton of the Emperor, who, in reviewing
the troops, stood more erect and stifiei
than the youngest subaltern, and. with
a glance Of approval or slight frown
indicated his pleasure or displeasure
In fairness to the troops, it should be
said that his majesty smiled most OF
the time.
The Emperor required upward OF an
hour to review the troops and take
little refreshment, and was then
whirled away toward the front lines
as suddenly as he had come.
