Freight Rate Fight Is Up.

A large docket, composed in the
main of local cases, but containing
several of state wide interest, is being
considered by the state railroad COM
mission.
One of the most important cases in
wolves the rates on agricultural COM
modities, such as peanuts, velvet
beans, mixed feeds and others Of SINH
lar nature. The commission seeks to
lower these rates. This case is of
especial interest just now because of
the large food crops that will shortly
be harvested in the state.
After the docket has been disposed
Of the commission will consider the
matter of raising the assessments OF
all public utility corporations to a 100
per cent basis, a question that has
been up before without settlement.
Corporations are willing for the
change to be made if they are assured
that it will be universal in the state,
and that it will mean a lowering OF
the state tax levy, as promised by
Gov. Bilbo.

The Secret of Youth.

After all, the plain truth is that ad.
venture consists less in the experiences
one actually has than IN the indefatiga.
BILE expectancy with which n awaits
them, writes Edgar J. Goodspeed in the
Atlantic. Indeed, | sometimes fear that
people must be divided into those who
have adventures and those who appre-
ciate them. And between the two the
affinity for adventure is greater treas
ure than the experiencing of it. If we
are possessed of the affinity, adventure
itself is, at most, just round the cor
ner from us. This opens the life Of
adventure to all who ray 1t. What
possibilities lie in merely crossing q
street, for example! Some one re-
marked the other day as he lodged
across among the %mOtorcars, "Why not
take a chance now and then and lead
q real life for q few minutes?"
l therefore recommend the life Of adj
venture. 1t conceives each ray as q
fresh enterprise, full of delightful pos
sibilities and promise, and so preserves
the wine of life from growing flat.
Here is the secret of youth.

Bombardment Drove Germans
From Westhoek.

British Headquarters in France
While the entente guns are hammering
the German lines in Flanders with a
fury apparently equal to that of the
original bombardmont, the infantry
has not been inactive. Important gains
by both the British and the French on
d seven mile front, taking in Westhoek
and Bi@ysChOote, are reported.
British troops in a night attack fin
ishcd the task Of driving the Germans
from the town Of Westhoek and Ike
wise cleared them from the lines they
were still clinging to on the ridge near
the town. This forward movement
gives Field Marshal Haig a far better
grip on the section of the line immedi-
ately east Of Ypres.
The French on their front rear Blk
schoote advanced east and north OF
that place, adding to the gains they
had recently effected in this sector.
Not only in Belgium, but along
stretches of the Arras battle front,
there are evidences of pronounced ac-
tivity by the British east of Mouchy,
in the Arras area, and day by day re-
ports come in Of the notable work by
the Canadians before the coal city Of
Lens.
1t has seemed several times that the
fall of Lens was imminent, but evident,
ly the hour has not been considered
ripe to deliver the final stroke.
The French broke into the German
lines, occupied several farms east OF
BixsC~)ote and west of Langmarck,
and captured a number Of machine
guns.
Raiding parties under protection OF
a heavy harrage fire on a front Of more
than 1000 yards, penetrated enemy pc
sitions in the Cite du Moulin and st
Laurent sectors, returning with pris
oners. On a large part of the front
the raiders passed over the enemy's
first line and support trenches, which
were found to be lightly held and il
bad condition.
At some points the trenches were
found to have been pounded out of al
resemblance to defensive positions,

PACIFISTS' VIEWS
ADMINISTRATION LEADERS WILL
PERMIT LAFOLLETTE EFT AL.
TO TALK PEACE"
SENATOR KING IS LEADER
Introduces Resolution That United
States Conduct To Finish the
War With "OutIawed German
Government

Washington.-The HANDFUL of out
and out congressional paciists pro-
poses to have a big peace talk soon
within congress.
Led by members of the "wilful H."
they will thrash out the question Of
getting an allied American showdown
of war aims and peace terms. Senator
LaFolIette gave the ball a push by in
PRODUCING a resolution calling for such
a statement, and proposing that the
United States drop any idea of annex
atoms and punitive indemnities.
Senator King, representing the great
majority sentiment, introduced anoth-
er resolution, demanding that the
United States go on to a finish fight
with the "outlawed German govern
ment."
Administration senators will not at
tempt to check tho proposed flood OK
talk. Instead, they will let LaFollette,
Stone and others get their ideas out,
confident that the upshot will be pub
LEGATION to the world that America is
in this war to a knockout, and that
peace can be talked successfully only
when kaiserlsm and Schrecklichkeit
have been banished from the earth.
The only thing the leaders will in
sist upon is that the peace talk shall
be curbed until the war revenue bill is
out Of the way.
Administration leaders will point to
the Root mission report that Russian
morale was disturbed by peace propa
ganda. They will back Kisg's resOlu
ton and endeavor to show that only
by quick, forceful blows can America
overwhelm Germany,
They will show-On official author
ity-that there are signs of Germany
cracking psychologically and ecomom
ically and will urge that the pacifistS
get into line in support rather than il
%hindrance of the war programme. The
government position is absolutely op
posed to peace proposals now, unless
they should be clean and bona flde.
