RAILROADS CLOSE
 ARGUMENTS ON
 RATE INCREASE

Washington. November 19.-Arguments in the eastern railroads 15 per cent advance rate case before the interstate commerce commission closed today with a statement of counsel for the roads that even if thls increase is granted they soon will ask for another advance of approximately 15 per cent in class and commodity rates and 10 per cent a ton on coal and coke.
 What is the intention of the rail- roads?" asked Commissioner McChord, ''to make the sky the limit"
 "As cost increases rates must go up if we are to proceed on a sound basis" answered John s. Patterson, counsel for the railroads.
 With both sides agreed that the rail- roads income had increased, the chief point of contention was whether the ad- ditional revenue had offset the in- creased cost of operation. MT. Patterson, the only attorney speaking for the roads, said the last advance had failed by about 20,o00,000 to cover the increased expenses of the 3S systems. Counsel for the shippers maintained that by use of the additional revenues and surplus the railroads would not be in worse con- A1llOn Iudn OlH6T DuSlDeSSGS, anu lndL under such circumstances they should not expect to impose additional burden on the shippers. MT. Patterson replied that the railroads had no desire to make money out of the war but that they recognized industry had a great burden to bear, and believed that it should be divided, rather than placed in one branch of business.
 Clifford Thorne leading counsel for the shippers, caid an increase in freight rates is essentially tax, and that this is no time for an organized set of business men to ask the Amer ican people to increase their burden" Additional demands of the railroads" he continued, "are almost keeping pace to the people," MT. Thorne contended that the surplus of the eastern railroads and their operating revenues this year were ample to maintain the mon sound basis, pay a reasonable dividend, and preserve their credit.
 Higher rates were attacked by lumber interests through J. V. Norman, repre- senting the Southern Hardwood Traffic association, and I. c. Boyle, represent ing the National Lumber Manufacturers association. s. H. Cowan, for the Na- tional Live Stock Shippers Protective association, also urged for retention of present rates.
 II lhC SOiiiiil1soAOl pCAlCfCo buC dONdHCc essential to the country as war meas- ure, MT. Boyle said, the lumber men would accept it without hesitation, but both he and MT. Norman contended that the plan proposed for the increases would disturb rate revision.
 Mir. Cowan said conditions in the cat tie industry were chaotic now because of drouths and feed costs an dthat the raisers could Ill afford the advance.
 The plea of the roads that their credit was being impaired by lack of revenue was attacked by MT. Norman, who declared that he did not believe credit entered into the subject. He expressed the belief that the government she uld loan money to the railroads at per cent providing for it's return as soon after the war as possible

An Improvement

rom vera
 A colonel was inspecting the bands- men of new battalion and was loud in his praises of the appearance of the men. He was a man with a weak ness for neatness, but not much of an ear for music.
 Their uniforms are neat" said he to the bandmaster. They have good pol ish on their instruments; in fact, I must insist on only one improvement"
 What is that sir?"
 You must train your men when they play to lift their fingers all at thes anne time, and at regular intervals on their in struments, so: one, two! one, two!'

Ne1D Jersey Gouernor Is Much Pleased
 Al His Reception

Anniston, November 19.-(Special) Gov. Walter Evans Edge of New Jersey who has been at Camp Mcclellan with his staff or an official visit, left for Trenton Monday evening after public
 reception and dinner given him by the i people of Anniston. Governor Edge was the chief speaker at the dinner here and
 he paid high tribute to Anniston and it's people.
 The review for Governor Edge at Camp
 Mcclellan Monday morning was a mag nlficent spectacle, and it was plainly ev- ident that he was greatly impressed as the 3OOO0 trained soldiers led by Brig. Gen. Charles w. Barber of New Jersey, commanding the Fifty-seventh brigade, passed before the reviewers stand where Governor Edge occupied a seat beside Gen. w. c. Rafferty, camp commander.
 After the review of the Twenty-ninth division, rendered to Governor Edge and his party by Brig. Gen. w. c. Rafferty, comnandant at Camp Mcclellan, the gov ernor paid high tribute to the officers ard men of the division, but particularly to Gen. Charles w. Barber of New Jer- sey, who commands the Fifty-seventll brigade in which the New Jersey troops are comprised.
 New Jersey is proud of General Bar Der. My personal observation and in- spection of Camp Mcclellan during the last three days firmly convinced me that New Jersey had entrusted it's boys into the hands of man who understood then, who sympathized with them, and above all, who has the experience and ability to afford them every protection in camp and in the field.
 q have never seen troops anywhere on review that showed up to better ad- vantage than did the more than 25,00o men of the Blue and Gray division. They marched with the precision of veterans and performed their various military ev- clutions in a manner that left no doubt as tu the efficiency of their officers.
 Following the example set on the first day l reached camp, when General Bar bers brigade had the lowest sick rec ord of any of the brigades in camp, his brigade carried away first honors in to- days review. I cannot be too liberal in my praise of General Barber and his off cers for the effective manner in which he has so rapidly rounded his men into an effective military machine.
 q know I will be pardoned if I am a little overproud of the Fifty-seventh brigade, over 90 per cent of which is made up of Jersey boys. but the pa- triotic spirit with which the men them selves have entered into the work and the results which have been accom- plished through their splendid cooper ation with their officers is something to which every Jerseyman can point with pride
 division, from General Rafferty down, have my sincerest congratulations for the patriotic work they are accom- plishing"

existed along this line. In addition to the formal visits of the governor to all the New Jersey outfits the exec utive made five speeches. Two were made at each of the religious services he attended, one was made at the re- ception to the New Jersey officers and one each at the respective post ex- changes of the 114th infantry and 10th field artillery
 It Is universally conceded by those who have been around the camp since it's establishment that the occasion of Governor Edges talks to the 114th infantry and 10th field artillery were the most inspiring, patriotic events which have transpired in Camp Me- Clellan, At the exchange of the 114th infantry 2000 New Jersey soldiers were packed and damned within it's con, fines until it would have required the services of a Houdini to admit an ! other person. The same condition ob- talned at the 10th artillery exchange where 1o00 New Jersey boys were gathered
 1t was very apparent that the impos- ing spectacle of so many of these boys, assembled on their day of rest, to well come the governor of their home state, alter their week of patriotic work pre- paring to fight their countrys battles, deeply moved and inspired the governor.
  profound one could have heard a pin drop, and at the conclusion of his pa triotic address the frame structure, which these boys have built themselves, and financed out of their company funds shook with spontaneous applause,
 JERSEY BOYS SATISFIED
 The answer of the New Jersey troops in response to the governors question as to whether or not they were satisfied With their lot, left no room for doubt that they were. The members of both units very forcibly emphasized the same senti- ment individually when they crowded about the governor as he was leaving, at tke conclusion of his talks.
 The governor said:
 We are in this fight to win, not by halfway measures, but by a spirit of CO., operation. pulling together of all the 4S state units, as one True, you boys are representing New Jersey, and we know you will add another bright page in the chapter of the states glorious and patriotic traditions, but we must, to an extent, sink state lines beneath the all powerful formula of national unity, by which only can victory be ours.
 But this does not mean that the folks back home are not thinking of yon as New Jerseys own. You are New Jerseys hope and New Jerseys pride, and I am impatient of the moment when I can be back home to tell your fathers and mothers, wives, sweet hearts and friends that there need be no fear of what we may expect from you
 We want you to know we are with you. That we are back of you while you are here many miles away from us And that we will be with you even when you go over the top over there to strike your blow ior your country, democracy and civilization"
 When interviewed afterward it was plainly evident that the governor had been deeply moved by the spectacle presented He was very enthusiastic in his praises of the men themselves for ther spirit and the accomplishments of their officers, as evidenced by the work of the men.

 MIR. ASQUITH BASED
 SPEECH ON TWO GROUNDS
 Mir. Asquith's criticism was based on two grounds, that the new war coun !. cil would conflict with the general staff and there would be two separate military advisory bodies and the omis- sion of the navy from membership He also questioned how such council could have averted the course of events in Servia, Rumania, Russia and Italy, and whether the Paris speech did not mean that the sacrifices of the British army had been largely misdi- rected or in vain.
 The premier argued that the new body would coordinate the work of the various staffs. whereas under the old arrangement the general staffs had met together only once year for the purpose of settling the strategy or the allies for battle fronts extending over thousands of miles. He an- nounced that Lord Kitchener had rec commended such a council in January, 1915, and that the general staff had postponed it in July of this year.

OVERRAN MILITARY MEN
 ONLY ON TWO OCCASIONS

Dwelling on the charge that the new al . rangement was designed to take control of the operations from the hands of the military and put them in the hands of politicians, he declared that he had only twice overriden his military advisers, when he launched his programme for making more guns than they said were needed and when he placed control of the building of railways behind the lines in the hands of a civilian, Sir Eric Geddes, and both decisions had proved successful. The premier declared that the policy and strategy were inextricably interwov- en- adding:
 Let them work together The men who are trying to separate them, to divide and to foster disunion are traitors to their country. I care not whether it is done out of personal rancor or poditi- cal envy; 1t is equally reasonable We look forward to cooperation between, not merely civilians, but between allies and allies.
 Are we to tolerate men in this country who, from purely political or personal reasons, disseminate distrust and jeal- ously of France in the breasts of English men? I say we ought to stop it here and now. What about France; poor France, trampled upon, with so many of her sons lost to her forever, her richest provinces torn from her? France wants nothing except emancipation from the deadly menace that has threatened for 50 years. I do hope, whatever happens, at any rate, that they will keep their hands and tongues and pens from trying to foster suspicion and jealousy and distrust between France and ourselves.
 MUST ACT TOGETHER
 ''If we act together I have no fear of what will happen"
 The greater part of the premiers speech was a defiance of the criticisms. What he said at Paris he had said deliberate ly, to arouse public opinion, and he had done it. He had seen too many resolves for closer allied cooperation come to nothing.
 The premier's speech closed in an op- timistic strain concerning the prospects of victory. He now had no fear of the menace of submarines, five of which pests of the sea" had been destroyed on Saturday.
