year great number Of lives
are needlessly lost by drown
ing. The victims are usually rescued
from the water while life still re-
mains, but the feeble vital spark Is
permitted TO flicker out in too many
cases simply because the rescuers

Physicians and life-guards arc
most emphatic in their statement
that every one not only should learn
TO swim, but he should at the same

(By Associated Press.)

London, May 1.-Reports of
heavy German bombardment north
west of Verdun indicates probable
speedy resumption of infantry drives
there. The French claim the German
attacks east of the fortress we're re-
pulsed. The Germans report the
French assaults on the German lines
near Deadman's Hill and Hill 3O4
have been repulsed.
Along the eastern front the Ger
mans are making occasional thrusts
at the Russian lines. The Russians
are standing off these attacks. and
are attempting no offensive.
Berlin today reports the capture
of five hundred yards of a Russian
position near Selburg. Much heavy
artillery firing and some infantry
clashes occurred on the Macedonian
front in the Balkans.
Athens reports brisk fighting north
of Aylena, apparently indicating the
Austrians are again advancing on the
Italians.

TRAFFIC TO EUROPE IN
vOLvED IN RATE HEARING

Washington, May 1.-THE In
terstate Commerce Commission be-
gins a hearing today which 1t is be-
lieyed will open for discussion the
whole subject Of the division of traf-
fic to Europe, Asia, Africa and South
America among the Atlantic Gulf
ports. orders issued by the commits
sion approving a reduction in freight
rates from Central and outh America
have been brought before the com
mission for review in rather an As
sociation territory, the application
being signed by E b Boyd, agent
for these carriers. II is said it was
largely on the representation that
the rates would expedite traffic that
the commission approved them. The
establishment Of these rates put the
gulf ports on an equality with the
ports of New York, Philadelphia,
and Baltimore, but principally New
York. Now It appears that some OF
the carriers in tho Central Freight
territory have represented that Mr..
Boyd acted beyond his authority in
the application and that, as ap-
proved, they violate the interstate
commerce commission law in regard
TO the long and short haul section
IIt also appears that the trunk roads
which compete for this business ant
which serve New York, Philadelphia
and Baltimore and other Atlantic
ports have protested against the ad
/ iustment because it has resulted IL
diverting a considerable amount o
business from their lines which for
merly routed through New York

statement has been made in connec
ton with these proceedings that tn
port OF New York is unable to han
die the growing export and impor
business OF the country.

CRUSADE AGAINST
AUT0IST L0VE-MAKERS

Washington, May ll.-Automo-
bile enthusiasts of Washington are
not a little annoyed at the action
taken by the Maryland authorities
against love-making on the high
ways by Washington couples in au-
tomobiles. AS If it we're not in suf-
ficiently bad taste to start such a
crusade, the love-makers object to
the unromantic language by some Of
their enemies. One said, for instance,
Cupid is all right when he ap-
proaches in the light of day, but
when he comes pussy footing in the
dark, 1t is time to call halt" No
sympathetic legislator would talk
like that and the authoists say that
the sour old Lawmakers have been
reading Roosevelt and have run
away with the absurd idea that the
Colonels ban on pussy footing ap-
plies to Cupid.

wounded German and Austrian pris-
oners of war to come out of Russia
this year, passed through Sweden a
few days ago in exchange for the
helpless and hapless Russians who
had been sent home from the Ger
man hospital camps The Austrians
and Germans were a more cheerful
lot than the stolid, silent Russians
and seemed to have a more definite
idea of their future life.
"It is nothing" said one young
Austrian with his right leg gone and
two fearful scars on his face; II

expeditions treatment.
Each man of the PIT on board the
train from Russia had his own thrill
ing story to tell Each one had test
ed the utmost of the bitterness of
war and some seemed so badly
maibed and mingled that even death
had refused to accept them.
There was one poor fellow moving
about the train with sheep-skin pads
on his knees and both feet gone.
"He no good any more" he smiled
in broken English when he learned
that The Associated Press corres-
pondent on board the hospital train
was an American.
And boom, boom. boom, no good
either" he added, mimicking the
roar of battle. This man had lain
wounded for days with his feet In
half frozen stream. When found he
was more dead than alive. Up to the
time he lost consciousness he said
he must have been lying out Of
doors fir six seven days. All this
time he heard the screech and rar
of shells passing above his head and
occasionally exploding about him.
Anyone of them, he said, would have
been welcome end to his agony.
But now he was smiling and cheer
full on his way home" He did not
know what he would do when he
got there for he had been a horse
shoer by trade and horseshoer
without feet is not OF much account.
Some of the prisoners complained
bitterly Of their treatment at the
hands of the Russians, but the more
intelligent of the wounded soldiers
declared that while their lots had
been hard they realized the Russians
had done all they possibly could un-
der the circumstances. There were
the days of exposure on the battle
fields which could not be helped, the
poor field accommodations for the
wounded, who had to be cared fol-
in far greater numbers than anyone
had ever anticipated, and the hours
of neglect due to the fact that the
doctorse had more work than they
could possibly handle.
One prisoner said he lay on the
floor of a house or stable for two
days and the only soft thing about
him was his own blood. His Uniform
