AMEA|CAN TROOPS
ARRIVE IN FRANCE

Washington, D. c. - The advance
guard Of the mighty army the United
States is preparing to send against
Germany is on French soil.
In defiance of the German subma.
rines thousands Of seasoned regulars
and marines, veterans of long service
on the Mexican border or in Haiti or
Santo Domingo, have been FASTENED
overseas to fight beside French, Brit,
ish, Belgian, Russian and Portuguese
troops on the Western front.
News of their arrival sent a new
thrill through Washington. No form,
al announcement came from the war
department. None will come, prob
ably, until Major General Pershing's
official report has been received.
Press dispatches from France show
Major General Sibert, one of the new
major generals, has been given com.
mand of the first force sen abroad
under General Pershing, as command
er-in-chief of the expedition.
One thing stands out sharply, de.
spite the fact that the size of the task
that has been accomplished is not
fully revealed as yet. This is that
American enterprise has set a new
record for the transportation OF
troops.

mission to Increase Certain
Schedules.

Washington, D. G. The inter
state commerce commission denied
tho plea of the railroads Of the United
States for q horizontal increase of Is
pei cent in freight rates.
In its decision the commission indi.
Gated its willingness to increase class
rates in the Eastern district approx
mately IA per cent.
: Since about one-fourth of the
freight handled is moved under class
RATES the decision virtually allows the
Eastern lines about 4 per cent in
.erease in gross freight revenue. In.
grasses sought in rates on coal. coke
and Iron ore will be granted.
The commission found, as a result
. f'textended hearings, that the car
xfers generally show q substantial and
financial prosperity and that they
have ample with which to
conduct transportation.
Little sympathy was given the argu-
anehts Of the roads that they were vic
Tins Of war prices, the commission
holding that the carriers have pro1ted
by the mobilization of troops.
The commission suspended the pro-
posed tariffs until Oct. %, but it indi-
Gated that no %rehearing of the case
will be of value at this time and sug.
gested cancellation of the tariffs.
Gloomy Forecasts Not Borne Out.
Thu NNpoy,t~aS@ R-5- kLzk H.
gloomy forecasts of jeopardized in
comes, seen by railroad officials early
In 1917, have not been borne out by
the figures available for later months.
The proceedings were brought in
March, when the returns from Feb
ruary were just being made. February
was one of the worst months in rail-
road history.
The subsequent months have shown
increasing revenues, while expenses
nave, in many cases, failed to mount
TO. the extent the carriers officials
feared.
The decision points out that the car
riers' comparisons have been made
largely with those of 1916, which was
The banner year in railroad earnings,
and adds that the 1917 income might
be considerably diminished without
necessarily indicating a danger point
In earnings.
Commissioner Harlan, in a concur
ring statement, declared that should the
next few months show that the rail-
road mems fears we're we'll founded
tahe commission would be ready to
grant relief. He also made a plea for
better equipment and service.
