FIVE DOLLARS
IN ONE LUMP
FOR BIG FUND

Another fve-dollar contribution
reached The Gateway office this fore
noon for the tobacco fund and three
other dollars came rolling in just to
keep the five company. And the five
was from a woman, at that. Oh, you
men!
Before the campaign ends next
Thursday, just q week from today, it
is safe to say that the fund will reach
proportions to satisfy the campaign
man that Seward will be placed on the
map that will be spread before the
boys in France, in the trenches, when
the tobacco shipment reaches them.
CHANGING over the list of those who
have contributed from the start Of
the campaign, it fully shows those who
are always right to the fore in every
thing Of public nature and especial
ly those who know or can appreciate
what it means to be deprived of an
article that brings contentment to the
daily toll. Just remember this-if we
don't send the boys in the trenches
their tobacco, they will not have any.
Who will be the next on the list?

This cannot be done under the present revenues and rates of the carriers.
 "Your petitioners further represent that the present high increase in the cost of railway operation has resulted and is resulting in inadequate net earnings and surplus, that they are unable to secure sufficient money to provide the facilities and handle the volume of traffic rendered to them, and that the threatened further depletion of net earnings and surplus must ser iously aggravate this situation. Your petitioners further represent that substantial increase in freight rates is imperatively demanded by their financial condition, and that the emer- gency requires that these increases should be made in the most expedi- tious manned and with the least pos sible delay"

BRITISH GAIN GROUND
 NORTH OF THE SCARPE
Total, However, Will Not Ex- ceed Advance Estimate-Tem pOrarily Suspend Penalty So That All May Comply.

Washington, June 6.-America to- day made her answer in round figures to Germany's stirring charge that we bear wooden sword.
 Reports from all corners of the na- tion tonight were being received at the office of Provost Marshal Gen. Crowder on yesterdays registration for war service.
 These dispatches show an eXtraor- dinary heavy registration, although apparently not, as at first indicated, in excess of the census figures of the number of men subject to the con- scription act.
 Figures in almost every state re- ported up to midnight, showed the registration totals to be under the census estimates.
 Officials made it plain, however, that in their opinion this was not due to stacking" or evasion of the law. The census figures, while as accurate as it was possible to make them, were based on the census of 1910, to which the census bureau had added its esti- mate of the growth of population for each section. The figures, therefore, were necessarily somewhat wide of the mark and not an absolute cri- terion for comparison.
 The war department made no con- cealment of it's satisfaction today at the results of the registration.
 We wonder if the German papers will print this was a favorite re- mark as the state totals poured in, to- gether with telegrams to the effect that the entire registration had been carried out without a semblance of organized opposition or violence in any part of the country. "We won der whether they think we're nation of pacifists now?"
 Late this afternoon Provost Mar shal General Crowder made the inn portant announcement that the pen atty for not registering would be suspended for short time in order to give men who had failed to regis ter yesterday another chance to com ply with the law

The British Port Base of the Amer ican Flotilla, via London, June G. The Amreican destroyers have com- pleted their first month of active ser vice in the great war. They have been favored with excellent weather, which is a big factor in antisubma- rine warfare Most of the time they have had sunny skies and smooth seas, with just enough squall and storm to put their seamanship to test. The favorable weather condi- tions made their task of learning the technique of antisubmarine warfare much simpler and easier.
 The American boats are assigned to work hand in hand with the British squadrons, being virtually assimilated into the British naval machinery here A destroyer is usually out for four or five days and then returns to port for two or three days while coaling and loading supplies. Thus every American sailor gets at least half a day shore leave practically every week

rondon. June 6.-British troops ,ovp captured German positions nortb of the Scarpe river on front # about a mile, according to the of s.;al report from headquarters to- uiobt The text reads:
 aThe operations commenced last OiUbt north of the Scarpe were sue ,assfully completed during the day and all of our objectives gained. We have captured the enemy's positions m the western slopes of Greenland Hill on front of about mile, and taken 162 prisoners, including four officers.
 "We have also captured few pris- orers as a result of raids carried out carly this morning north of Ypres.
 There has again been considerable artillery activity on both sides at number of points along our front, uarticularly on the north bank of the Scarpe and in the neighborhood of vimy village, Armentieres and Ypres.
 Activity in the air continued yes erday. Eight German airplanes were brought down in the air fighting, one of which fell within our lines. Eight others were driven down out of con tro. Seven of our machines are missing
 German Attacks Fail.
 Paris. June 6.-Two violent attacks on French positions at Hurtebise and the Chemin-des- Danes were repulsed last night with heavy losses to the attackers, according to an official statement issued by the French war office this morning. The attacks were preceded by an intense cannonading. Lively actions took place during the night on the Belgian front.

the British ships in all routine work of the patrol and convoy. The work, although mostly routine, is interest ing and the Americans have not yet found time hanging heavy on their hands. The lookout must be constant and the eyes trained to an unbeliev- able degree of keenness. The young Americans take zealously to this busi- ness of finding the periscopic needle in the nautical haystack, and daily re- ports of submarines sighted, of ob- servations made, of wireless warn ings sent broadcast show that the American boats are already making an average of results almost as satis- factory as the long experienced Brit ish boats, with which they are oper- ating.
 There has been no actual battle as yet between an American destroyer and the enemy, although several re- ports show that U-boats have been sighted and have been compelled to beat hasty retreat to the depths of the sea.

COMMISSION ORDERS
 AN INVESTIGATION
Of Rates, Regulations, Classifi- cations, Etc. in Southern States-Railways in Arkan- sas Ask Rate Increase.

Little Rock, June 7.-In ordering a reopening of the Memphis rate case, except as to cotton and rough rice, the Interstate Commerce Commission ordered that a supplementary investi- gation be made of rates, regulations, classifications, etc, in the states of Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, Okla homa, Missouri, south of the Missouri river, and the south half of Kansas, to be considered at hearing to be held probably some time in October. It is the further purpose of the pro- posed inquiry to determine whether there be undue or unjust prejudice against interstate commerce, or the movement of traffic, or discrimination against localities or shippers, this being done by the commission upon it's own motion.
 The Missouri Pacific, the Cotton Belt and the Rock Island railroads, on behalf of themselves and other car riers, have appealed to the State Rail road Commission for an increase in intra-state rates, which the commits sion estimates amounts to about 35 per cent on the present rate. The commission has set their petition for a hearing on July 10.
 The petitioners represent that they are sustaining and are threatened with enormous decreases in net oper- ating income due to large increase in wages, in the cost of fuel coal, in the cost of other materials, supplies and equipment, and in taxes and to in- creased cast of capital Nothing is more essential to the welfare of the nation and the state than that the railroads should be in a position to respond to the fullest demands made

IAPAN'S RISE In
WORLD TRADE
Exports and Imports in
1916 Reached Total of
Nearly ,00O,O0O,000

Japan's foreign trade in 1916, with
the figures for the last few days of the
year estimated, closely approached the
billion dollar mark. A calculation OF
"The Herald" of Kobe, Japan, puts the
total foreign trade of the island EN-
pire at approximately l,650,000 900 yen
1925, 00O,0 00), or an increase of 450,-
10000 yen 1925, 000,000) over the rec
ord figures of 1918 and SOS 100000 yen
1889. 500.000) ahead of 1915. japan
sold in the neighborhood of 100000
yen (slS7 ,5o0,OOO) more goods than she
bought. This compared with trade
balance of 172 900, 900 yen $4,000 ,Ooo)
in 1915.
Despite Japan's huge gain in world
trade. "The Herald" does not hesitate
TO criticise Japanese methods. "One
glazing shortcoming of japanese OK
porters," it says, "is that they are lack
ing IN the power of cooperation. Bust
ness men OF small means are looking
after their own interests only, and do
but little toward enhancing the gen
eral standard of their manufacturers.
Their relations with capitalists are al
ways the reverse of satisfactory. Many
merchants go abroad TO study con-
ditions there, but for want of a sub
stantial backing the tours generally
end in failure, and the opportunity Sc
cured after much patient effort and in
vestigstion is lost forever"
The increase of the staple Japanese
export, silk, amounting to upward Of
100 100000 yen (s50,000,00O last year.
was due to the heavy demand in Amer
lea and France The trade returns
have, on the other hand, shown a de-
crease OF Japanese imports, particu-
larly sugar, bean cakes, kerosene, rice,
wheat, hemp, jute and phosphorites,
due in part to the scarcity of bottoms
and in part to the appreciation of
prices.
A close examination of the table Of
Japanese exports shows that for many
varieties of merchandise the increase
in quantity has not been commensurate
with the increase in values. Cotton
yarn. cotton, hosiery, copper and iron,
for instance, showed a marked increase
in volume, but if computed at the nor
NAL prices these articles would be seen
to have attained lesser degree of in
crease in volume than could be in
ferred from total sales effected.

SILVER RISES TO II CENTS;
SUPPLIES ARE DEPLETED
England Prohibits Use of Metal in
the Arts

England Prohibits Use of Metal in
the Arts
Bar silver rose to n cents an ounce
in this market yesterday, within one
quarter OF cent Of its highest quota
ton since the war. The record was made
last May on heavy demand from Euro
pean as we'll as Oriental sources, after
which the price fell back to nearly 20
cents.
The renewed strength of silver is in
keeping with general conditions in the
metal trade. Copper and other base
metals arc holding close to the best
prices OF last year, these in effect es-
tablishng records for twenty years or
more.
Another reason for the renewed
strength of silver is the embargo some
time ago declared upon the metal by
Germany and Eng!and's prohibition Of
its use in the arts.
The long suspension of mining opera
tons in Mexico, for many years an inn
portant source of silver supply, has
also helped TO dep!ete supplies in this
market.
