No other body with such an intimate
knowledge of railroad conditions has such
an unquestioned position in the public con-
fdence.
The rates the railroads may charge the
public for transportation are now largely
fixed by this Government board.
Out of every dollar received by the rail-
roads from the public nearly one-half is paid

money to pay increased wages can come from
no other source than the rates paid by the
public.
The Interstate Commerce Commission,
with its control over rates, is in a position
to make complete investigation and render
such decision as would protect the interests
OF the railroad employees, the owners of the
railroads, and the public.

SENATOR'S FAVOR
 BIGGER NAVY BILL
Measure Has Smooth Sail
 ing in Upper House
OPPOSITION IS SMALL
Both Sides of House Seem to Realize Need of Measure and No Ob- stacles Will Be Thrown in
 Way of Passage

Washington, July 13.-The Senate today began discussion of the $3l5,. 100000 naval bill. the largest naval ap- propriation measure by many millions creases of nearly $50, 0,OO0O O00 over it's total as it passed the House. Senate leaders emphasized their intention of expediting its consideration and little opposition arose to the committee amendments presented.
 An indication that the Senate is in sympathy with the liberal increases written into the bill by the Senate naval committee was seen in the ap- proval without opposition of a section increasing the enlisted strength of the navy from the present 54,000 to 6S,- 700 men and 5000 apprentice seamen. The House bill provided for an increase to only 61,000 men.
 When the personnel section was reached Senator Norris asked for an explanation of it's purpose Senator Swanson, in charge of the measure, re- PiiOu llidl lIle SGCllOll as uTdll6Q lOl- lowed the recommendations of the navy general board and would give only a sufficient personnel to man the best battleships and cruisers now in commission and 50 per cent comple- ment for vessels in reserve. Senator Lodge, ranking republican member Of the naval committee, also declared the increase imperative.
 That there would be no partisan op- position to the bill was apparent from the beginning of the debate, and lead- CTS regarded the progress made on the first days consideration as highly en- couraging. The building programme probably will be reached within a few days and while 1t will develop the only serious opposition the measure is ex- pected to meet. champions of the bill believe the authorization for 1917, in cludlng four dreadnaughts and four battle, cruisers. together with the. three-, ear construction policy, will be ap- proved. A long fight is expected i'll conference. the House bill having pro- vided for only five capital ships. t The only committee recommendation which met determined opposition today was one providing for a commission 10 report on the advisability of estab- fishing at least one more naval acad emy. After a long debate. in winch Senator Weeks led the opposition to the proposal and Senator Phelan and others defended it. the Senate sustained the committee. 32 to 27.
 We have as much need of another naval academy as we have of another capitol" said Senator Weeks. With the exception of dormitory room we have all the equipment necessary for many more students at Annapolis. It wodJd be a waste of government money to establish another academy
 MT. Phelan argued that the growing importance of the west generally and of the Pacific waters. particularly from a naval standpoint. made the establish ment of west coast academy desir- able.

Underwood Wins Out
 Aiding Mobile Port
By HUGH W. R0BERrs

Washington. July 1S.-(Speclal. ) While Senator Underwood failed in ef- forts to secure an amendment to the agricultural appropriation bill which would have permitted ships bearing tick infested cattle to land at Mobile, he succeeded in vitiating a former act of Congress which made Galveston the only port at which ships bearing such cattle could land.
 As The Age-Herald has reported the discrimination in favor of Galveston caused general deflection of commerce from all other southern ports to Gal weston. much to the detriment of Mo- bile. Senator Underwood worked for months with the Secretary of Agricul- : sture. but secured no relief. Attempts were then made to amend the agri- cultural bill. Failing again. the sen ator assailed the constitutionality of the act which favored Galveston and -discriminated against other southern ports.

Great Storm Brewing
 Along Atlantic Coast

Savannah, Ga, July 13.-With hurricane warnings displayed by the local weather bureau and stiff northeast gale blowing off the coast, all shipping in the harbor early tonight took precautions to guard against damage from the heavy blow which is expected to reach here before morning.
 Considerable alarm was aroused here tonight when the weather bureau began firing rockets from the roof of one of the talest buildings to warn ships off the coast. Officials of the bureau also sent requests to Beaufort and George town, S. C., that rockets be sent up at those places at brief intervals.
 Brunswick reported an east gale blow ing there early tonight but far no damage has been done at that port.
 Late trains from Tybee tonight came over tracks which were covered with water nearly a foot deep for a stretch of several miles.
 Charleston, s. C., July 13.-Shipping was tied up in the harbor here tonight by hurricane which blew at the rate of GA miles an hour and swept great waves over portions of the sea wall. Hundreds of persons hurried here from nearby coast resorts. No damage was reported however. and it was said there was no loss of life.

State Department Asked for Authority to Resume
 Freight Shipments
AMERICANS RETURN
 IS NOT DESIRABLE
This Is Stated as Reason Why Consuls Have Not Been Ordered Back to Posts-Citizens Would Soon
 Follow to Former Places

Wash ngton, July 13.-Authority from the state department to permit restora- tion to normal of movement into Mexico of all commodities except munitions of war was asked today by the treasury de- partment.
 Shipments of clothing for the Mexicans passed freely by the customs and military officials. but large quantities of freight, chiefly lumber and coal, have accumu- lated along the border.
 Virtually a complete embargo against exports into Mexico was imposed, with out formal proclamation, when the crisis between the United States and the Car ranza government reached such stage that war seemed unavoidable.
 Now that friendly diplomatic nego- tiations are in progress looking to a set tlement of all the differences many re- gard it as an unnecessary hardship upon both the Mexicans and American inter ests In Mexico to prevent shipments other than war supplies
 Probability that Americans who have left Mexico would immediately return if United States consuls now on the border were ordered to their posts in the in terior was given at the state department today as one of the reasons for the de- lay in returning the consuls to Mexico. The department has not changed its be- lief that presence of Americans in Mexico is most undesirable and on that account will not send these consuls back, although it is believed that in sections conditions have become so settled that the consular officials might be of considerable serv- ice.

Asks the President to
 Reinstate N. Y. Officers

, Washington. July 13.-President Wiz son was urged by Senator O'Gornan to- day to order the reinstatement of Col. Louis D. Conley and Lieut.. Col. John J. Phelan of the Sixty ninth New York ln- fantry. ordered mustered out by Major General Wood for physical disability.
 Senator O'Gorman told the President the doctors who examined Colonel Con- ley differed on his condition and that be- cause of the doubt. he believed the Pres ident would be justified in ordering Col onel Conleys reinstatement. The sena- tor said apparently there was more Jus- tification for the mastering out of Lieu tenant Colonel Phelan, but he also urged his reinstatement
 Later Senator O'Gorman expressed con fidcnce that Colonel Conley and possloiy Lieutenant Colonel Phelan would be re- instated. An investigation of the cases already has been ordered by Secretary Baker.

SEES VICTORY AHEAD

London, July 13.-David Lloyd George, British minister of war, presiding today at an entente allied conference on equip ment, declared that the combined offen- sive of the allies had wrenched the ini- tiative from the Germans. never, he trusted, to return.
 "We have crossed the watershed" he said, "and now victory is beginning to flow in our direction. This change is due to the improvement in our equip ment."
 The conference was held at the war of flee and was participated in by Albert Thomas, French minister of munitions; General Beliaeff. assistant minister of war of Russia; Gen. A. Dall Olio, member of the Italian ministry of war and the new British minister of munitions, Ed- win s. Montagu.
 Since our last munitions conference" said MT. Lloyd George. there has been cor siderable change in the fortunes Of the allies. On that date the great Cham pagne offensive in the west had just failed to attain it's objective, and the French and British armies had sustained heavy losses without the achievement of any particular success. Tn the east tho enemy had pressed the gallant armies of Russia back some 100 miles and the Balkans had just been over-run by the Central powers.
 'The overwhelming victories won by the valiant soldiers of Russia have struck ter TOT into the hearts of our foes and these coupled with the immortal defense of verdun by our indomitable French com rades, and the brave resistance of the Italians against overwhelming odds in tho
