WASHINGTON, May 22-The house

agreed on postal rates for newspapers,
doubling the rate for the first and sec

more for other zones. The senate

In a report submitted by Admiral

A brief but striking summary of the
result of the desperate fighting in
France during the thirty days between
April 8 and May is given by the
Literary Digest In substance it
sets forth that on the first date began
the series of alternating blows struck
by the English and French, that re-
suited in winning the supposedly I'M
conQuerable Vimy Ridge and Craonne
plateau, in the capture of more than
fifty thousand prisoners, nearly five
hundred cannon and almost a hun
bred square miles Of territory. IF
this is defeat" says General Maurice,
of the British war office, then we
are willing to go on being defeated
In the same period the German losses
in killed and wounded have been not
less than two hundred and fifty thous-
and. making with the prisoners, a loss
of three hundred thousand in man
power.
