French People Show Much
Interest in u. S. Election

Paris. November 9.-The American
election is being followed with tho
deepest interest. the news having the
place of honor in most morning pa
rers The commentators, mindful of
tile dramatic surprise of yesterday
when the supposedly certain Hughes
victory was turned into a possible de-
feat. are reluctant to commit them
selves.
The majority of the comment is sim
liar to that Of Stephen Pichon in the
Petit Journal, who expresses the be-
lief that the victory of either candi-
date will have little effect on Amer
lean policy as far as the big ques-
tons interesting France are con-
cerned. 1t is also pointed out that
the present administration will re-
main in power in any event until March
and that many things may happen
between now and then.
The Matin remarks that while vic
tory for Mr.. Hughes might mean
more vigorous international policy IL
would also mean protect'onist
regime The Matin comments that this
change. while unimportant in time of
war; might be awkward for French
business interests on the return of
peace.

SWEEPING CHANGES
ARE SUGGESTEDF0R
+. THE Us. RAILROADS
Variable Per Diem Charge
With Penalty Features
to Be Proposed
Soon

Sweeping changes in regard to car in
terchange by railroads are being sug-
gested. On December the railroads viii
put into effect the progressive demurrage
rate, and before that time the American
Railroad association will be asked to
make change in the per diem charge
that the owning railroad exacts OF
connecting line for use OF its equipment.
With the interstate commerce commits
sion In session at Louisville with represent
tatives from every line in the country the
car shortage is the paramount topic of
interest with railroads.
The commission on car service, COM
posed of Fairfax Harrison, president Of
the Southern railway; r. II. Ashton,
president of the Chicago and Northwest
ern railway; A. II. Smith, president OF
the New York Central; G. L. Peck, vice
president of the Pennsylvania line, and
III. e. Byram, vice-president of the Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy, has sub
mitted recommendations to the American
Railway association asking that the per
diem tariffs be drastically changed. Cop
les of this report have been received in
Birmingham.
A variable per diem, ranging from a
minimum of 45 cents to $l.25, has been
suggested. To set the rate for each sec
commission asks that a body be created
with authority to vary the per diem on
notice.
Inasmuch as the commission is OF the
opinion that a difference of principle OBJ
tains between open and closed cars, 1t
asks that settlements between railroads
be paid in two accounts.
But what Is the most drastic change
asked is that a penalty be placed upon
a railroad violating the rules of the asso-
citation in regard to the interchange of
cars. For each diversion reported by an
offending road s. will be exacted. II the
diversion Is found by inspectors of the
association $40 will be the amount of the
penalty charged the railroads.
The associations inspectors found 1000
violations by the railroads in one month.
To remedy these practices, which have
created an unparalleled shortage In
the south and elsewhere, the commission
has proposed these changes.
The report of this commission WIFI be
sub united to the railroad executives in
Denver on November Is. The American
Railway association has the power to re-
fuse or adopt the suggestions of its COM
mission.
The interstate commerce commission is
regarded as the most impelling forca be-
hind the legislation. It has virtually
laid the law down to the railroads that
they must handle the car interchange
more effectually.

Unofficial reports that the new battle
ship Arizona Is returning from the
Southern drill grounds with four of her
eight turbines out Of commission were
discounted yesterday by officers at the

sought to minimize the mishap.
There is no doubt though that the
breaking down Of half her turbines is a
serious matter that may lake six weeks
to rectify. 1t Is n disappointment. too,

eminent about $1,000 less than such
engines usually cost.
Naval officers said yesterday that the
breaking down Of the turbines Is no,
necessarily the cause of the Arizona's
return. as the other vessels OF the flee,
are returning with her, for the Christmas
holidays. They hold that her record
since November Is indicates that she
