British Strike Mile Into German Line Ouer Three
 Mile Front In France; Germans Defeat Russians

Further notable gains have been made by the British forces against the Germans in the operations which have as the object the capture Of Bapaume and general bending back of the German line eastward in the Somme and Ancre regions of France.
 According to the British war office communication. under another of the terrific British bombardments the Ger mans have abandoned the main de fensive system west of Bapaume on a front of three and half miles to a depth of a mile. The advance gave King Georges troops the village of Grevillers and Loupart wood. bringing the advance British forces at the for mer Q within a mile and a halt oI the northern OutskiTt of Bapaume.
 To the north of this region. in the vicinity Of Armentieres, Souchez and Neuville-St. Vast. and southwest of Neuve Chapelle, the Germans threw

forward raidine parties. but all of these met with repulse according to London, except in the last named sec tor where the Germans reached the British trenches and made prisoners some Of the occupants.
 Elsewhere on the line in France there have been only artillery engage ments which were especially severe in Champagne on the sectors of Maisons de Champagne and Massiges and at various points on both sides of the Mouse in the region of Nerdun.
 The Turks evidently are being giv- en no rest by the British operating against them northward from Bagded along the Tigris river. After the cap ture of Bagdad Sunday the British cavalry kept Sn the heels of the re- treating Turks and occupied the town of Kasimaina. taking more than one hundred prisoners.

to the Atlantic seaboard by rail and
 water via Galveston also is proposed R. R. to Resist
 Although the railroads are not di'
 rectly invited to file new tariffs in
 line with the commissions findings, the door is left open for them to do so, and specific suggestions as to the maximum rates which should be pro- posed are contained in an outline of differentials between Atlantic sea ports and inland eastern cities. Puts West in 4 Zones | To establish an equitable scale of readjusted rates. it is suggested to the carriers that the territory west of the i Missouri River be divided into four zones of 600, $50, 1900 and 1850 miles and that scale of rates be applied gradually increasing according to dis | tance. The effect would be so far reaching that officials consider that | the case easily takes rank with the i five percent cases decided two years ago and at that time characterized as { the most important which had come before the commission for determina- tion.
 On reaching its tentative findings. the commission reviewed in elaborate detail the history of water competi- tion via the Panama Canal.
 The present situation as to water competition,'' reads the statement to the roads. lis beyond dispute. There is no competitive necessity by reason of water service between the two coasts which warrants the rail carri- CTS in maintaining lower rates under present circumstances to the Pacific coast than are normal or reasonable or less than to intermediate points. Tt is obvious. however. that some of the rail rates which apply. on arti cles particularly adapted to water transportation and which originate in large volume on or near the two sea boards should be maintained at lev el lower than present necessity re- quires. or that provisions should be made for their prompt reduction when the water competition again becomes active and controlling.
 ''The uncertainty as to the length of time during which present cOndi- tions will continue is so great and differences between coast rates and i interior rates are so marked that we do not feel justified in authorizing these carriers to continue during this indefinite period a relation of rates which we believe in many respects was justified during the period when water competition between the coasts was active.
 Are Rates Too Low?
 Our concern is with the following issues: Are the lower rates to the coast cities necessitated under pres ent conditions? Are they in all in stances necessitated under normal conditions or such conditions as exist ed for the first year after the open ing of the Panama canal? Are they less than normal or fairly reasonable? Are the rates to intermediate points unduly discriminatory?

SWEEPING RATE CHANCE FUR WEST |S PROPOSED
 ARIZONA WILL PROFIT
Intermediate Points, Including Arizona Will Not PGy Coasts Rate On Goods Shipped From East, If Plan of ]. C. C. Suruiues R. R. Objections, April 2.
(Rv Review Leased Wire. )

WASHINGTON. Mar. 13.-The Interstate Commerce Commission has placed before the trans-conti- mental railways tentative findings in the inter-mountain rate cases, proposing realignment of virtual ly the entire structure of freight rates between the east and west on every commodity. The rail- roads are given until April to enter any objections.
 Inland to Benefit
 The time has come. the con- mission holds, for abolition of low preferential rates from eastern producing centers to Pacific coast ports. These rates. put into ef- feet to meet the coast-to-coast water competition, have been in force for years and under them San Francisco, Los Angeles, Se- attle and other coast cities have enjoyed rates far lower than those from the same eastern cities to intermediate points.
 Hereafter. should the commis- sion's findings be made perma- ncnt, intermediate points will be given rates from eastern centers as low as rates to the coast. if not lower. From other centers in the middle west and along the Miss ouri River the rates to interme- diate points will be less than the rates to the coast.
 Two Plans Studied
 Under the commissions pro posal this result could be attained in two waVs: Fi-s- Inv 'n""""s- ing through rates from the coast to the Pacific ports on a nuufDer or articles on which the present rate is found to be unreasonably low. and second. by relligning rates to intermediate points on many articles on which the pres ent through rate is found to be reasonable.
 Arizona to Profit
 In either event, adoption of the tentative findings would result in a sweeping revision of tariffs from the east, the middle west and Missouri River points to towns and cities in Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada. Utah. Wyoming, Idaho, Colorado and Montana and to all towns and cities in Califor- mia, Oregon and Washington. eX- cept on certain commodities to port cities in the three states last named.
 War Permits Ruling
 Although not directly stated in tn Ommission's finding, the European var is the direct cause of the propos d change, inasmuch as it has result d in the virtual cessation of all coas water traffic. leaving the trans-cor mental roads without competition With a view to meeting the eXpecte gentry of steamship lines into coas o coast traffic via the Panama cana liter the war. the commission pro ,oses that the suggested rate be S Irawn as to be capable of easy reaC ustment.
