credit the Wilson administration, has
been discovered by the officials of the
war and state departments, according
to a statement issued yesterday by
Secretary of War Baker. just prior to
his departure from this city to fill a
campaign speaking engagement.
The president was shown the state
ment, together with the assertion also
made by Mr.. Baker that 1t had been
learned positively that the bandits un-
der Villa and the other rebel leaders
ir Mexico are now being paid in silver
coin, but the executive fatty declined
to make any comment upon either of
the assertions.
Baker, in his statement, said that IL
has been definitely Learned that ene-
mics of the administration under Mr..
Wilson, and it's policy in regard to
Mexican matters, have deliberately
conspired to attack the American
troops now south of the border, under
the command of General Pershing, in
order to create sentiment against the
Wilson regime. These attacks are to
be made in force, and before election
day, so that they will be instrumental
in defeating the Democratic candi'
date"

Successes on East

GERMAN HEADQUARTERS, Oct
26-In the western arena, on the
Somme front today. our fighting artil-
lery effectively held the trenches and
battery establishments of the enemy
on both sides OF the rfvef. onr po.
sitions on the north bank are covered
by the enemy with strong fire-waves
which prepared for their partial ad-
vances but none of the attacks sue
ceeded. They only resulted in new
sacrifices of the enemy's troops.
On the Crown Princes front at Yer.
dun the French attack day before yes
terday northeast of Verdun was ia
vored by misty weather and the enc
my advanced beyond our destroyed
trenches to the fort and village OF
Douaumont. This fort has been evac-
mated by the garrison. We did not
succeed in reoc cupying the work be-
fore the enemy but our troops took up
prepared positions close north, and
in the majority of cases 1t was only
by strict command they stopped re-
luctantly in these positions. All FUR
ther French attacks were repulsed,
including especially violent ones
ones against Vaux.
On the eastern line, Prince Leo
pold's front, north of Miadzior lake
the Russians used gas fumes with
out success. In several other places
along this part of the front the Rus
sian Dattalions were hurled at our
lines but we broke down the storming
waves with curtain fire.
On the Carpathian front in the
KeIemen mountains hostile attacks
were repulsed.
On the eastern front of Transylya'
MIA and elsewhere on this line Baya-
rian troops today inflicted further de,
feats or the Rumanisns and on the
Kampolung road the Teutons gained
further terrain.
Won Mackensen's army is advanc-
ing in the Dobrudja section. The
Rumanians blew up a large Danube
bridge, near Czernayoda, which proves
importance of the Rumanian defeat,
according to Rpmanian opinion.
On the night of October 20 our air
ships successfully bombarded a rail
road establishment west of Czernavo'
da. On the Macedonian front Bulgari'
an cavalry is IN touch with hostile
detachments Serbian advances have
been repulsed.

II. To Lower
RATES ONLIVE
STOCK SHORTLY
Maui, MeIokai, Lanai Cattle
Shippers to Benefit When
Supplement is Issued

AS a result of hearings which the
public utilities commission has been
conducting concerning rates charged
by the Inter-Island on cattle shipped
from island ports to Honolulu, the
company is preparing supplement
to tariff No. 2. which went into eff
feet September ] and which caused
vigorous protests from cattle shippers
because of the higher rates charged.
: Vice-President j. l.. Mclean of the
Inter-Island today gave the Star-Bnl-
letin details of several reductions to
be made in the supplement; reduc-
tions which the company is making
because it realizes there are certain
ports where easier cattle shipping con-
iitions warrant lowering the rates.
The recent new tariff made uniform
increase effective, to which shippers
made immediate objection, appealing
TO the commission to lower rates from
certain ports.
In brief, the supplement to be is
sued as soon as the commission con-
cludes its hearing OF the company's 8
side OF the case and the Inter-lsland
determines how other rates are work
ing out and If any adjustments are
needed in them, will mean a reduc-
ton Of 10 per cent from the rate
charged, by tariff No. on live stock
for slaughter from all Maui ports to
Honolulu except Kahului, where the
reduction will be II IL per cent. On

Teschner pre- pared for Harvard at Phillips Exeter, where he had the school record for the 220-yard dash and was fast in the 10O-yard dash and the quarter mile run.
 He was captain of the Harvard freshman track team two years ago and last year as a varsity man won many points in the dual meetings and then went to Philadelphia to finish second to Smith of Michigan in both the championship dashes at the intercollegiates This spring he won the century against Yale in g 4-5 sec onds.

YALE DECLINES

Unable to Accept Invitation for July
 8 Because of Its Race With Har-
 yard.
 New Haven. June 1.-The Yale crew declined yesterday an invitation to row against a, crew from the Stu denters Roklub of Christiania, Nor way. on July S. The invitation was extended by a cousin of King Haakon VII. of Norway, Jan Schjerve, who came to America to present the invi- tation in person. He bore an elabor- atelv engraved invitation and numer- ous letters of introduc ction. During his stay here he has been the guest of the Yale crew.
 He is an excellent OarSman and has spent some time rowing in d single scull on the New Haven harbor. He was enthusiastic over the prospect of an international rowing race this summer, but the Yale navy authori- ties were forced to decline the invi- tation of his club because the liar vard-Yale race is scheduled for June 23. and it would be impossible for the men to make a satisfactory trip to Christiania in time.
 Dan Collier Elkins, manager of the Yale crews, made a convert to his idea of "rowing mittens'' out of Schperve. Last spring, during the cold weather, Elllin procured some aviators' gloves, cut the fingers off and made a slit in the palm through which the oar was passed. The de- vice saved many sore hands on the Yale crew Schjerve was enthusiastic over them.
