.Lumbermen Tell Of / 1iqEl
Cost Of Operating in
Opposing New Rates

receives from $3S to S45 a month. The
proposed increase in rates, varying
from half a cent to three and a half
cents on carload shipments from
points on the Maine Central, Bangor
& Aroostook, Canadian Pacific and the
so called Canadian Government roads
would mean an additional cost to his
business of 10 per cent, he stated.
Both speakers referred to what they
termed as the serious competition of
the British Columbia spruce and
North Carolina pine with New Eng
land spruce Mr.. Whitney said it was
impossible to find local market for
board lumber from Maine and he was
compelled to build two plants, at
Jackman and Van Buren,, Me, where
he was turning his board lumber into
boxes.
The railroad representatives at
tempted to justify the increase on the
ground that the rates on lumber were
excessively low and that additional
revenue was necessary to meet the
increased cost OF operation. The hear
ing will be resumed tomorrow.

posed increases in railroad rates on

Opening of Battle

At II O'Clock A. NJ. today (Mountain
tilhe), the high crowned hats of the
bandits were seen to the south along
the Mexican Central main line, accord :
ing to these messages. The battle was
opened a few minutes later with a SAL
vo from cannon on Santa Rosa hill, the
key to the state capital. The first and
second line trenches, protected by
.barbed wire entanglements, took up
the fighting and by noon a general en-
gagemcnt was in progress along the
entire southern line which continued
the entire afternoon At that time the
booming of large calibre guns on San
ia Rosa hill and other artillery sta
toned along the first line trenches was
sible to hear the click of the telegraph
instruments, the military operator in
Chihuahua City told the military OPP
orator in Juarez.

Reported Before

Early in November a report was in
circulation that the Imperatritza Ma
ria had gone to the bottom and nearly
all of her crew had persisted. Later
on Nov. II Berlin reported by wire
less that Bulgarian headquarters
dispatch announced that a fireman on
the battleship had reached the Bull
garlan coast and confirmed the de-
struction of the dreadnought. which it
was stated had been sunk by a mine
near Sulina. or Feodossia island, at
the mouth of the Danube.
The 1mperatritza Maria was a new
dreadnought. She was launched in
1914 and displaced 22.5OO tons. Her
officers and crew numbered about 1000

High Wages Ashore
Call Men from the Navv
Says Admiral MCGOWAN

Washington, Nov. 23.-High wages
ashore and the increased cost Of living
have seriously hampered navy recruiting,
Rear Admiral MCGOWAN, paymaster-gen-
eral, told the House naval committee to-
day in explanation Of why there are only
about $500 enlisted men in the service
although Congress has authorized total
strength of 1900. He said it was hoped
that total of 10000 could be reached by
the end of 1918.
Their Inability to send home enough
money to keep those dependent upon
them is the governing factor in prevent
ing many men from enlisting." said the
admiral. From long experience with the
accounts Of bluejackets. he said. he was
certain a majority had wives. mothers.
sisters or other dependents at home.
Aside from slow enlistments. the wit
ness said. the navy was feeling directly

RUSSIAN NAVAL
STAFF STATEMENT

London, Nov. 24.-The Russian naval
staff, says a Reuter- dispatch from Pc
trOgrad, has issued the following state
ment: AT 6 o'clock on oct. 20 fire
broke out in the forward magazine Of
the Imperatritza Maria. An internal
explosion followed Immediately and
the fire spread rapidly and reached the
petrol tanks. The officers and crew
strove with the utmost bravery to To-
calize the effect of the explosion and
flooded the magazines.
The chief. Vice Admir-
al koischak, went aboard and took per-
sonal command of the operations.
Shortly after o'clock. however. the
vessel sank. The greater part of the
crew were saved. An officer and two
first-class sub-officers and 149 sailors
are missing. Sixty-four of the crew
have since died from the effects of tic
burns.
The position of the ship, which lies
in shallow water. gives hope that It
may be refioated and completely repair
ed in a few months. The bridge is only
one yard below water level"

the high cost of living. The average cost
per man per day for rations in 1876 he
said. was 1862 cents; but in the last
quarter of that year figure of 1885
cents was recorded. Careful purchases in
great bulk reduced costs somewhat but
he warned the committee that additoal
appropriations on this item for 1917 might
be necessary as the quantity and quality
OF the navy rations would not be reduced
under any circumstances
Admiral McGowan's estimate showed
that the navy expected to pay % cents II
gallon for the enormous amount of gaso-
line to be consumed in its aircraft, motor
boats and submarines, the quotation being
a heavy advance Of the last previous es-
Inmates. 1t was shown also that the con-
sumption OF fuel oil in the navy probably
will reach 100000 gallons in 1918 A
against 100000 two years ago.

Many Dead, Others Captured

The field was covered with dead and
dying men, one message said.
a Sortie by Carranza cavalry, sup
ported by artillery, resulted in the cap
ture of many Villa prisoners who were
without ammunition and had gone since
morning without food or water, another
message declared
Villa in person was leading his forces
against the CarranZa troops according
to reports received at the ,Juarez mill
tary headquarters from Chihuahua City
given out by Carranza officers. The ban
dit leader was said to be riding horseback
with his crutch strapped to his saddle
He was said by the de faCto authorities
to have approximately $500 men in his
main column.
1t was learned from Chihuahua City
late today that Gen. Murguia, who is adj
vancing north from the Jiminez region
was still in the vicinity of Santa Rosalia
with his main column of several thousand
men, the report that he was at Mapula
having been due to an error in transmits
sion.
In addition to the heavy artillery bonn
bardment the rain of shell fire was said
to be constant.
The only fear the local government ofn-
GERS have is that Gen. Trevino's ammu-
milton will not last until Gen. Murguia
arrives from the south with his reinforce
ing division. There is said to be plen-
tiful supply of artillery ammunition, but
a shortage Of rife and machine guns car
tridges, due to the embargo at Ell Paso.
