Increase in Freight Rates
WASHINGTON Nnu 1

WASHINGTON, Nov 6.
Presidents of the eastern railroads who
appeared before the eastern commerce COM
mission asking for a general increase in
freight rates returned to their home Offices
today confident that the Administration
at washington is on their side. Such in
fiuence as the leading officials of the Fed

self, can bring to bear on the commission

issue, 1t Is generally agreed.
The statement issued by Comptroller of
the Currency Williams urging that the rate
increase be granted was everywhere herald
ed today as mark of the Administrations
o. X. on the railroads appeal for more
revenues
II the desires of the railroad are met by
the commission, approximately half a bill
lion dollars will be added to the annual
American freight bill. The railroads de-
clare that their requests for higher rates
are extremely conservative and that justice
to the carriers would mean the granting
of several times what Is asked
Financial interests are hard at work
bringing pressure to bear to have the COM
mission grant the desired rate increases
They calculate that If a substantial rate
increase is allowed the credit OF the rail-
roads will be sufficiently bolstered up to
enable them to borrow the extra millions
they need to improve terminals and extend
their tracks.

LITTLE ROCK LETTER

Little Rock, Sept. 1.-THE war is
depicting many of the professions and
the ranks of skilled labor in many
lines. For instance, there is de-
mand from many communities of the
country for physicians, as SO many

Also there is great shortage of
men teachers throughout the country

MEXICO ASSUMING NORMAL

New York, Sept S.~-With the re-
turn here today of DR.. Alfred Catur-
egli. financial agent for the Mexican
government in the United States, and
T. w. Osterherd, representing Iselin
& Co., bankers for the Mexican gov
eminent from Mexico City, it was
learned that preliminary negotiations
looking to loan of 10000, 900 pesos
or approximately $15O, OOO, 900, to Mex
leo by New York bankers are near
ing consumation.
DR.. Caturelgi said that he was not
authorized to discuss the matter at
this time other than to say that the
prospects for the loan looked favor
able. Mr. Osterheld also declined to
make any statement
1t is understood, however, that the
plans whereby the loan may be Sc
cured and the money so placed that
the financial system of Mexico can
be rapidly rehablitated have been
worked out. These details are said
to provide ample security for the
loan and are understood to include
a refunding of the national debt, a
reduction of the capital of the Mexi
can National Railways and the mobi-
lization of the oil industry. It is
also planned. it is said, to place in
the hands of Mexican banks suffic-
lent sums to enable them to care for
the floating currency of the country
and to establish firm exchange re-
lations with foreign banks.

There may be a few other Con.

few for state offices, but with the
more serious business of winning a

probably not enthuse as much as
they have been known to do.

Teutonic system of ''shock forma-

ruthlessly and needlessly
and other agencies are provided and

designed in measure to solve the
vexatious problem of recreational &C
tivities, is the organization of the
American Library Association War
Council upon the recommendation of
Secretary of War Baker and Secre-
tary of the Navy Daniels.
The object of the State Library
Council is to collect funds for the
erection of libraries and the pur-
chase and maintenance of books for
use by the soldiers both in the S5th
divisional cantonement and the can
tonements to be constructed in
France. Gov. Brough has appointed
the following as the members of the
Arkansas Council: E. ]. Bodman,

citizenship of the state to cooperate

for this important work. and to send
all contributions to Miss Lyon. Ar

So far, the cotton planters have not

but the crop is from two to four

to a lawyer and sought advice
