 tative order permitting freight rate in
 creases of fifteen per cent effective June l. Many speakers favored an advance, provided the railroads could prove it necessary; some advocated an immediate increase on the ground that it would be cheaper than to suffer losses later through lack of transpor- tation equipment, and others opposed any changes.

 LONDON, April 20.-The war cabinet decided today that every physician and surgeon and every man with medical training of military age must be called up for service immediately.
 In reference to the calling up of the physicians and surgeons the following official explanation is given.
 "The enemy, in total disregard of the tenets of civilized warfare, has delb- erately instituted a submarine cam paign against hospital ships, and it has therefore become essential that large number of hospitals be established overseas in the various theaters of war for the treatment of sick and wounded. In order to allow this to be done with great rapidity. it is essential to secure the services of every doctor that can possibly be spared from the United Kingdom

 The war communication says:
 North of the Aisne our troops har- assing the enemy, have continued to progress toward the Chemin des Dames We have occupied the village of Sancy.
 About o'clock this evening after violent preparation by their artillery, the Germans launched an attack with large effectives in the region of Allies and Hurtebise, which was broken by terrific fire of our artillery and machine guns and completely repulsed. Tn the Champagne we have cap tured several important points of sup port in the grove of Moronvilliers, not withstanding the stubborn resistance l of the enemy.
 Since the 18th of April, between Soissons and Auberive, we have made | more than 19,000 prisoners. The num- I Der of guns captured and counted eX- ! ceeds 100.
 "In the Argonne, after sharp fighting, our detachments penetrated up to the I second enemy trench. They found a great number of German dead.''
