uganda for the purpose of encour-
aging the people is seen in the Buch-
Arrest story in regard to the Rumanian
grain exports. These are described
on some days as surprising the re-
quirements of 1OO,OOO,OOO persons, an
assurance which contrasts strongly
with the official announcement recent
ly made in regard to the necessity of
reducing the amount of bread supplied
in lieu of potatoes. Another mislead-
ing pen trick is to describe the aver
age daily exports in May as exceeding
those of May, 1916, when Rumania was
at peace, ignoring the effect on Ger
many's foreign trade of Rumania's en-
trance into the war.

l., & n. GIVES WAGE INCREASE TO
5000

Louisville, June 15-The Louisville
& Nashville railroad June l instituted
substantial salary increases for more
than 5000 employees of the traffic and
operating departments, it became
known last night. A large number of
the men affected by the addition OF
about 100000 to the monthly payroll
are employed in the main offices here.
General Manager B. NJ. Starks said
probably the strongest factor behind
the increase was the desire of the road
to treat its men fairly. Other lines
had put into effect similar changes and
the l.. & N. was only following out an
old but little recognized practice he
declared Mr.. Sarks said further that
over 1000 men employed all along the
company's lines now receive from 8 to
~ per cent more pay. Those included
range from subheads of departments to
yard clerks, he said.
Both Mr.. Starks and Third Vice
President Addison r. Smith, head of
the trafIice department, named the
present high cost of Icing as cause
of the increase. Fully 700 men, most
ly clerks and subordinates, among
whom are included messenger boys,
have been given higher pay in the
freight and passenger departments, ac-
cording to Mr.. Smith.
Telegraph operators, bridge foremen
and carpenters, and freight and pas
senger agents are among those given

POKE FUN AT U. s. TROOPS En-
PECTED ON FRENCH FRONT

Copenhagen, June II Via London)
Representatives of the German press
were told yesterday at the regular
weekly press conference in Berlin that
the arrival of American troops in note
worthy numbers in the European thea
ter was to be expected only in 1918.
The General Staff lecturer also took
the ground that the American forces
should be treated as negligible guam
tity in the general reckoning, owing to
the difficulties of finding sufficient
tonnage and for transportation and
supply. The suggestion was followed
in numerous articles in the newspa-
pers yesterday and this morning
The newspaper representatives also
were told that new Russian Often
sive was highly improbable, but that
artillery and aviation activity and re-
connoitering raids indicated a new
French offensive was in preparation.
The British also were certain to try
their fortune again, but no surprises
in offensive methods were expected
from either the French or the British
and the only variant from the earlier
offensives would be change of geo.
graphical location.
The correspondents were told that
the purpose of the air raids on Eng
land was to keep in the islands
trained men of the aerial corps and
guns for defense and that the sub
marine warfare also served to weaken
the British offensive by keeping from
the front men and guns required to
arm merchantmen.
Germany's situation was described
as absolutely secure, and German VIC
tory as certain, owing to the relent.
less working of the submarine. Heavy
estimates of French and British losses
were supplied to furnish encourage
ment to the readers. England's losses
in fifty days of the spring offensive
were placed at 225,OOO men, from thir.
ty-four divisions engaged. The same
proportion was applied to seventy-twt
French divisions, producing an esti
mate of French losses of more thar
100000.

FISH HATCHERY ON THE
ANTHRACITE PROPOSED
Paonian

PaOntan
J. w. Beezley. who is enjoying visit
with his children at Bend. Oregon, writes
the Paonian that he is much interested
in the proposal to build fish hatchery
in Delta county. He supplements the
Pannian's suggestion Of his ranch just
above the junction Of the Anthracite
and the Muddy by this liberal proposal:
81 will donate land. lumber, etc.. At
the mouth Of Snowshoe creek on the
Anthracite. where the water comes out
Of deep. dark canyon, and Is quite
cool and even in temperature.
Our latest information is that this
proposal probably cannot be accepted by
the present legislature. but it is pity
that such an opportunity has to be
neglected. There is no better site for
. hatchery in the state.
