Athens, June 29.-Premier Venice
los, in his speech to the Crown, after
taking the oath of office at the palace
yesterday, said that Greece's place
was beside democracy. The nation
was struggling for freedom of the
world against the two Central Pow
ers, with whom Greece's hereditary
enemies were allied.

chat unless we drive the Bulgarians
from Eastern Macedonia that part
of Greek territory will be always ex-
posed to great danger. Before, how
ever, thinking of mobilizing that part
of Greece which has not shared in
our movement. we must vitalize its
military organization, which has fall
en- into such decay, and bring about q
fusion of the two armies. In broth

now call out the unframed classes of

RAILROADS ARE DENIED
IS Per CENT INCREASE
Prosperity of Lines Indicated
By Interstate Commerce
Commission.

Washington, June 29.-The Inster-
state Commerce Commission today
denied the plan of the railroads of
the United States for a horizontal
increase of fifteen per cent in freight
rates
In it's decision the commission in
dicated its willingness to increase
class rates in the Eastern district APP
proximately fourteen per cent. Since
about one-fourth of the freight hand
led is moved under class rates, the
decision virtually allows the Eastern
lines about four per cent increase in
gross freight revenue. Increases
sought in rates on coal, coke and iron
ore viii be granted.
The commission found, as result of
extended hearings, that the carriers
generally show a substantial and in
creasing financial prosperity, and
that they have ample resources with
which to conduct transportation.
Little sympathy was given the ar
guments of the roads that they were
victims of war prices, the commission
holding that the carriers have profit
ed by the mobilization of troops.
The commission suspended the pro-
posed tariffs until October %, but it
indicated that no rehearing of the
case will be of value at this time.
The commission finds that the
gloomy forecasts of jeopardized in
comes, seen by railroad officials early
in 1917, have not been borne out by
the figures available for later months.
The proceedings We're brought in
March, when the returns from Febru-
airy were just being made. February
was one of the worst months in rail-
road history. The subsequent months
have shown increasing revenues,
while expenses have, in many cases,
failed to mount to the extent the car
riers' officials feared.
The decision points out that the
carriers comparisons have been made
largely with those of 1916, which was
the banner year in railroad earnings,
and adds that the 1917 income might
be considerably diminished without
necessarily indicating danger point
in earnings.
