EQUAL RATES ORDERED
ON CABLE MESSAGES
I. c., C.. Directs Western Union to
Cease Discriminatory
Practices.

Refusal of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company to transmit for the
Commercial Gable Company deferred
cable messages originating in South
America upon the same terms as such
messages are transmitted for the Gen.
trail and South American Telegraph
Company. subjects the Commercial
Cable Company. the interstate com
merce commission yesterday ruled. to
be unjust discrimination. The Com
mercial Cable Company's petition for
reparation. however. is denied on the
ground that the rates charged were
not shown to be unreasonable.
The Western Union was ordered to
equalize its rates for both the CONNER
cial and Central and South American
companies on or before August !.
The commission held that the West
ern Union land lines in this country
and the cable lines between this coun-
try and Europe, which it leases and
operates, constitute a single system,
and that charge of unjust discr NINA
ton could not properly be predicated
on the fact that the rates charged Tor
forwarding European messages from
New York to points in the United
States exceed the sum which the West
ern Union. merely as matter OF book
keeping, credits to itself when 1t per-
forms the same service for Its own
cable lines.

SAY GERMANS WILL PUT
$500 AER0S IN THE FIELD
French Officials Tell of Plans to
Strengthen Flying Service to
Meet Enemy.

PARIS. Wednesday. June 10 (de-
layed).-A semi-c ff1cial note concern
ing the strengthening OF the flying
branch Of the allied service and the
cooperation of America in this effort
says:
Fantastic figures have been pub
lished regarding the increase Of the
Aviation Corps. but to realize what a
great effort confronts US it is only
necessary to see what the enemy is
doing. Germany purposes to bring In
line for the spring OF 1918 machines to
the number of $500.
I'm comparison with the thousands
and millions with which certain writer's
have juggled. this seems feeble. 1t is
nevertheless. considerable. for it is not
only a question of having that many
machines. The number must be main
tanned, and to maintain 1t, drafts cal
culated at so per cent for the light
fast machines, and at 80 per cent for
the heavy machines. must be furnished
monthly.
without giving the French figures,
1t may be said that they are considera-
BILE and comforting. and that construc-
tion will be powerfully helped by
