HIGHER COAL RATES

Washington, March "a. - Presidents
OF seven Eastern coal carriers asked
the interstate commerce commission
to put into immediate effect increases
of from ; to l. cents a ton in bitumin.
Gus coal rates, the 15-cent rate to ap-
ply to lake ports and consequently af
fecting Minnesota coal shipments.
The following roads seek the in.
crease Pennsylvania, New York Cen.
tral. Baltimore and Ohio. Norfolk and
Western. Chesapeake and Ohio, Nir-
ginian railroad and Western Maryland
roads
The proposed increase is based on
"the necessity for more adequate rev.
enues," and the road representatives
indicated this action is the first step
in a general movement to revise
freight rates to enable carriers TO
meet increased burdens imposed on
them"
This is regarded as the first direct
fruit of the decision Of the supreme
court upholding the Adamson law

BERLIN DENIES ALL
STORIES or REVOLT

Berlin, March "A There is no rev.
olution in Germany.
London, Holland and New York ru.
mors that trouble has been brewing
in Germany are merely the result Of
the ententes wish being father to the
thought
Germany is united, confident and
with no sign Of any revolution"
German officials are amused at the
circulation i'm entente channels of such
a report They attributed il at first
to neryousness felt by Germany's
enemies over the Russian revolution.
And the Russian revolution itself
they attributed to failure of the allies
to make any gain which might be con
strued as advancing their cause to-
ward victory
Not only German officials, but the
German people are entirely satisfied
with the results Of the submarine war
fare. They are satisfied with the prog.
ress of the war They are satisfied to
make sacrifices because they are sat
isfied OF victory

STORY DECLARED UNTRUE
Administration Denies Plan to Con.
fiscate incomes.

Washington, March 24.-The treas
ury department denies that to meet
war expenses it oontemplates the
adoption of a plan to confiscate all
individual incomes over S1r0,)00 and
the levying of so per cent on incomes
between $4,000 and 100000.
Professor Sprague of Harvard wrote
an article arguing for the "conscrip.
tion Of incomes" in time OF war. pre-
cisely as the "conscription of men"
should be carried on.
This Is the basis for the new story

Dutch Paper Says Submarine Fired
Two Torpedoes Within Warning and
Immediately Submerged Without
Troubling over Fate of Crew.

Amsterdam, March 24-The Han.
delsblad says there are only six Amer.
leans among the survivors of the
Healdton. There were thirteen Amer.
leans aboard. The Healdton, an Amer.
lean ship, was sunk by submarine
in the safety zone" without warning
In it's account of the sinking OF the
Healdton the Handelsblad says:
The unreliability of the German as
surances regarding the so called safe
zone is shown by reports OF the crew
OF the Healdton and the crews of fish
ing boats.
For safety's sake the Healdton
chose the northern route All went

when submarine suddenly made
tremendous attack Without fully
emerging and without a warning ii
hred two torpedoes which hit the
steamer amidships. SO that the vessel,
because of the dangerous character OF
her cargo and an explosion in the en-
gine room, caught fire at once.
The crew in three boats tried to
leave the ship. Two sloops with thir-
teen and seven men, respectively, sue.
ceeded in getting away, but the third,
containing twenty-one men, capsized
and nearly all were drowned
Rescued by Dutch Trawler.
THE crew of a Dutch trawler, which
tance, believed the glow to be that Of
the aurora borealis and did not 90 to
the rescue. The next day, however,
seeing a sloop under sail, they at once
stopped fishing and steamed in the
direction of the sloop, whose occu-
pants We're SO exhausted that they
were unable to maneuver their boat
alongside the trawler.
The captain of the trawler finally
managed TO approach the sloop and
some of the Dutch fishermen jumped
into the craft and brought ii along.
side the trawler, where the ship.
wrecked men were taken on board,
cared for and supplied with dry
clothes. All the property of the crew
was lost.
After the attack the submarine at
once submerged and disappeared,
without troubling about the lot Of the
shipwrecked sailors
Among the crew OF the Healdton
we're thirteen Americans, of whom
six were rescued"

AMERICAN SHIP UNARMED
Steamer HeaIdton Left Port Before
Guns Were Authorized.

Washington, March "A. - The sink
ing of the Healdton adds another
grave chapter to the story of war
waged against American shipping by
Germany to be laid before congress by
President Wilson at the special ses-
sion he has called for April g. II can
cause no immediate change.
Since the destruction of three Amer
lean ships Saturday and Sunday ad-
ministration officials have considered
that a state of war existed and it is
to meet this situation that congress
has been summoned to authorize steps
beyond the arming of merchantmen.
The Healdton was unarmed. having
left her port before the president au-
thorized the navy to furnish guns and
gunners to merchantmen. Its fate
serves to heighten the profound inter
est with which the government and
the public awaits the time when an
American vessel prepared and ready
to send shell into hostile subma-
rine on sight will .ent the war zone

Great Struggle in West APP

GERMAN DEFENSES STRONG
Refugees From Devastated District

Retiring Army Has Not Reached
Line of Greatest Resistance.

London, March 24.-1he initial phase
of the tremendous battle which has
opened in Northern France has APP
parontly turned in favor OF the French,
who are reported to have forced their
way across the Ailette river and the
Crozat canal at several points
Along these waterways the Germans
elected to make their first stand in de
fense Of Lafere, toward which Gen
eral Nivelle is rushing his advanced
troops in a desperate effort to brek
the Iiindenburg line before the Ger.
man defense is consolidated.
Further south the French are at
tempting TO batter their way toward
Laon, but between them and their
goal lie the great forests OF Coucy aud
St GOban and the comparatively
meager advances reported from Paris
indicate that the issue is still very
much in doubt. Some ground has
been gained northeast OF scissors, but
the fact that the French report having
inflicted very heavy losses on the
Germans is an intimation that the in
vadels are holding this section in
force
Germans Plan to Give Battle.
French refugees from the devastat-
ed wilderness over which the retreat.
ing Germans have passed add their
evidence to the accommodating proof
that Field Marshal Won Hindenburg's
purpose is to give battle to his pur.
suers on line running from Lille 10
Laon.
This means thai, in the event of
the French failing TO break through
at Lafere a further withdrawal OF
the Geima is due to take place on
the British front
The sharp salient running from Ar
ras to Cambrai must be evacuated
and in support of this assumption,
London reports explosions and incen.
diary fires in the district about Arras
This additional retirement would
mean the evacuation OF about 800 more
square miles Of French territory, in.

NOTHING DEFINITE YET

Washington, March 24-President
Wilson's address to congress was TAX
en- up in its tentative form at the cabi-
net meeting Practically all secre-
taries had been asked to bring mate
rial for points on which it will touch.
While the exact nature of the presi.
dents address necessarily will be de-
ternined by the developments of the
next ten days, it is expected to be
specific in character and probably will
outline comprehensiyely just what
steps he believes congress should
take to meet the warlike operations of
German submarines.
Administration officials realize that
during the period Of waiting a sus-
tanned effort is being made in Germany
TO place the responsibility for war on
the United States
The hint Of an offer OF mediation
is regarded as an added evidence of
this movement, but the president and
all his advisers are determined that
if war actually comes it shall be clear
to the world that it has not been of
Americas choosing.
