Through High Tariffs and I'm
reasonable Shipping Re-
quirements.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S-A charge
that petroleum pipe line companies
OF the mid-continent field, through
high tariffs and unreasonable ship
ping requirements, have excluded in
dependent shippers from their lines
was made by the Federal Trade Com
mission in its report TO the Senate
on a special investigation of the busi-
ness.
II the five systems that control
the mid-continent pipe lines charged
their own rellners for carrying oil
at the rate they offer TO carry II for
independents, the report declares,
their net earnings show 45.5 per
cent profit on their pipe line invest
ments. AS it is, they are declared 10
earn more than nineteen per cent,
The investigation was ordered by
the last Congress, which later direct
ed an Interstate Commerce Commits
sion inquiry. To avoid duplication
the trade commission confined its
work to the mid-continent field,
while the Interstate Commerce Com
mission turned its attention to sys-
tens operating in the East.
Summary of Findings.
The commission summarizes its
findings in this language:
1.-The dominant position of the
mid-continent field makes the facts
developed in this report of vital I'M
portance to the entire country.
1.-The fixed investment in pipe lines
is extensive and corresponds closely
with the actual cost OF such property.
"Pipo line construction in the mid
continent field has followed, instead
of preceded. crude oil production.
and such investment is comparative
ly secure.
"There is large difference be-
tween the cost of pipe line transpor-
tation, which is very low, and pipe
line tariff rates. while the independ-

revealed by the war Office statement
today.
An offensive has been started by
the Germans in the Champagne result
ing in the capture Of Navarin farm and
French positions on both sides for
distance of 1900 yards. 1t is said that
more than 1000 French were cap
tured.
Attempts by the French to retake
the fortress of Douaumont have not
only failed but the Germas advance
on verdun continues steadily, accord
ing to reports from the front.
In rapid succession Louvemont,
Champneuville, Cole De Talou and
Hardaumont have been stormed and
the Germans with 5000 French pris-
oners in their hands now stand less
than five miles from the center OF
Verdun.
These results could only have been
accomplished after seeming unsur-
mountable obstacles had been over
come as the railroad lines do not ap.
proach closely and miles of road had
10 be repaired in order to make pas
sable the transportation of heavy can
non to within range.
Wretched weather added its diff
culties to the situation and the
French telephone lines of commune
cation had to be destroyed in order
to prevent the French artillery from
interfering with the setting up Of the
heavy pieces.
As the advance towards Verdun
continues, the western movement in
the Woevre is going apace, the Ger
mans steadily pushing the French
hack toward their base of Cote Lor-
laine.
