BOOSTS RAILROAD RATES
Interstate Commission Increases
J: Tariff on Shipments From East
!: ern Points to Pacific Coast.

:. Railroad rate increases of about Is
per cent. effective March Is, will be ap-
piled to commodity shipments from
eastern points to Pacific coast cities, as
the result of decision of the Inter-
. state Commerce Commission
The decision was reached by the COM
. mission yesterday in adjusting rates to
ruling which was made last June in
the so-called intermountain rate case
. and established that the difference in
rates between coast and intermountain
cities should be removed.
The ruling. however. left open the
question of whether through rates to
the coast should be raised or interme-
: diate rates lowered The case had
: arisen from protests of intermountain
. cities that they had been discrfminated
against by lower rates to the coast In
: stituted by railroads to meet water
! competition by way of the Panama
: canal.
When the railroads were Informed by
: the commission that the rates were to
: be made the same they fled application
: for increases in the through rates to
: coincide with the rates to intermoun-
: tain points. The commission yesterday
: granted this application.

How FRST-U. S. DESTROYERS.
CROSSED ATLANTIC LAST APRIL
Sailed With Great Secrecy to Join British In
U-Boat Hunt Commander Taussig
Tells Story First Time

, diately had depth bombs installed SO as
to fight the submarines. The night be-
fore we entered the harbor at Queens
town German submarine planted
twelve mines right in the channel. For
tunately for us, they were swept up by
the ever-vigilant British mine sweep
ers before we arrived.
Depth Bombs Terror to U-Boats.
1--WE escorted many ships and we
saved many lives. cannot say we sunk
any submarines. The submarine, ]
found. was very difficult bird to catch.
He always sees you first. Only once did
my vessel. in seven months, succeed
in actual firing at a submarine. He
then went down after the fifth shot was
fired. At that he was Ave miles away.
But what they are afraid OF are the
depth bombs. I cannot say positively
that I sonk any submarines. 1 saw
results on several occasions which led
me to believe that I had at least dam
aged one or two.
The patrol duty was very trying, as
for a distance Of 800 miles off shore. 1t
was hard to tell a periscope when we
saw one. We fired at fish, floating spars
and other objects because we could not
afford to take chance. The subma-
rines grew less active or did less dam
age as the summer wore on.
'"The night patrol work was very
dangerous. There were frequent col
lisions and we had to use our judgment
as to whether We should turn on the
lights and avoid danger of collision
and take the risk of a submarine seeing
US. or keep our lights out and take our
chances. We have to remember that If
submarine sinks us she only sinks
one ship. A serious collision might sink
two ships, SO it is a matter of judgment
The question is can we beat the sub
mariner he asked. Il am sure we can
IL the people will do their part"
Commander Taussig said there is COM
plete cooperation between the Ameri-
can and British navies in foreign wa
ters. There is no friction. he declared.

Chamberlain.Baker Luncheon Brings
Hope for Closer Cooperation
in War Affairs.

Hope was expressed today that q
clearer understanding and closer CO.
operation between the Secretary of
War and the Senate military affairs
committee would result from the con-
Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the
committee. over the luncheon table
yesterday afternoon at the Capitol.

net. Senator Chamberlain said after the
luncheon. was the principal subject dis
cussed. 1t was urged by the chairman
as absolutely essential to successful CO.
ordination of Americas war effort. AL
though agreeing that coordination is
necessary. Secretary Baker took the
position that coordination was being
accomplished by reorganization already
made and being planned further.
THE chief difference between u.s."
said Senator Chamberlain, was that
believe affirmative legislative action is
necessary and Mr.. Baker does not.
asked him to think it over and suggest
any changes he might desire. The
committee is not welded to any partic-
ular plan, but we believe some legisla-
ton to establish centralized authority
with legal control is necessary
Senator Chamberlain assured Secre-
tary Baker that the only purpose of
the committee was to help, and not
hinder. the administration.
Senator Chamberlain arranged for
cross-examination of Secretary Baker
later this week or early next week.
Secretary Baker indicated that he
would not press his advocacy of ex-
empting registered men reaching the
age of thirty-one years from the draft
unless his opinion was sought. The
Senate committee yesterday decided not
to include such a. provision in the new
draft legislation, after hearing a state
ment by Provost Marshal General
Crowder opposing it.
Mr.. Baker will go before the House
military committee soon to discuss
various bills proposed by the War
Department. With other things he
will urge enactment of the measure
to give him two additional assistant
secretaries. in order that administrative
work Of the department may be de-
centralized.

night by Commander ]. K. Taussig, I.

The narrative was related before an
audience which thronged Carnegie

accomplished by the Nays "grey-

cheered.

that the outside world in general should

long a continuous passage without re.
