HIGHER IN MOUNTAIN ZONE

The charges in the intermountain zone would be 120 per cent of the standard
 scale. That is, it would cost 20 per cent
 more to haul the same material the
 same distance, as in the standard zones. Small volume of traffic ,and consequently
 smaller revenue, is held to justify this
 higher rate The intermountain zone
 would include Arizona. New Mexico, Col
 orado, Utah, Nevada, Wyoming, Idaho Montana and extreme western and south- western Texas.
 In the north Mississippi zone-Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Missouri north of the Missouri river-rates would be i 70 per cent of those in the standard zone. In this territory traffic is more dense and consequently can be hauled cheaper.
 In the southeast. including all states east of the Mississippi and south of the Ohio and Potomac except West Virginia and the northern part of Virginia, the 1 railroad administration proposes two plans. One, to which the federal ad- ministration inclines, would apply the same rates as in the 100 per cent zone
 providing shipping interests would agree to adopt the so-called western classif- cation. by which articles are grouped into various classes. If these interests prefer to retain the existing southeastern
 classification, special scale would be
 applied, which cannot be compared in
 terms of percentages with the standard
 scale As an indication of what this
 scale would be, however, these charges
 may be cited for hauling 100 pounds
 First class. 6S cents; second class, 5S
 cents; third class, 52 cents; fourth, A
 cents; fifth, S5 cents sixth, 30 cents; Class
 A. "A cents; B, 27 cents; c. 20 cents and
 D. r cents.
 The proposed zone scales would apply to both interstate and intrastate ship
 ments, and consequently would supplant the distinct class rate scales now en- forced by many state utilities commits
 sions. The new rates would not apply,
 however, to shipments between zones.
 Existing schedules would cover these.

Bessemer Boy Writes Inter. estihg Letter of Battles on Western Front and the
 Bravery of Men

The following letter from Lieut. John
 Douglas of Bessemer, who was in com
 mand of Company K, 142d infantry, dur.
 ing a recent engagement, will prove in.
 teresting to his friends:
 T will write you now while l have
 time, for the way I am situated l never know where l will be the next minute
 am now in command of Company K. 142d infantry, and have just been through battle that lasted ten days. I only received one slight wound in the knee, but saw my friends drop on the right and on the left. There are supposed to be six officers to company, but it is the best we can do to have one around under the circumstances but those of us that are left feel well satisfied, for we have been chasing the enemy since the second day of the battle. We had a stiff fight the first two days, but the boche ran the third day. On the first day of fighting my company took enough pris- oners to average three bocnes for each man in the company. Not such bad record is it?
 T have seen sights that man only sees possibly once in a lifetime ,and some of them were terrible. My friends were falling at my side every step, but just as we closed in on the Huns with our bayonets large numbers would throw up their hands and yell their old cry of 'Kamarad. l have seen one and two of our men take from 25 to 30 Germans prisoner. We whipped them on nerve and nothing else, for We were AS hours without food or water. We were able to get a little from the dead, but did not go very far. We held out, though, and as l told you before, we got them on the run.

COMMENTS UPON APPEARANCE

I am at present in a room that was formerly occupied by the boche and eat ing out of their dishes. My orderly is fixing me pair of German shoes to wear, for I have not had these off since the battle started. We are sure one fine looking bunch. 1 have on a uniform that cost me s6o and there is no less than 100 holes in it. None of us have had chance to shave, but we did get an opportunity to bathe today. l am sending picture that I took from prisoner. This bunch came over and surrendered just when we were about to lose heart, but when our handful of men that was holding the position saw this bunch they took fresh heart to hold out until rations came. One was wounded but could speak English and told us that the boche were fixing to retire. They also had some food and water that went long ways. I would like to write more but am about played out
 Don't worry about me, I was lucky this time and maybe I will be the next We will be relieved in few days and go back to reorganze our companies and to get men to take the places of those we lost before we are called again. l have been working hard today on the field over which we fought, and it cer- tainly makes one serious. We have buried most of the dead, our men and the Ger mans also and It was a diSagreeable job. We were shot up so badly at the begin- ming of the battle that we were relieved so that we could reorganize our com, panies. There is one thing that am glad of--that I have had the experienced have found out what I would do under fire.
 II had always wondered what it would be like and as my captain told the colonel when he asked how it felt, "a man don't have time to be afraid if he is on ms job. That is the real truth. There is nothing to do but to keep going forward and to wonder if the next one to fall will be you. The battalion I am with is the one that hit them the lick that pushed them back in our sector We took a wood that the marines had fallen down on and said couldn't be taken. These Texas boys are sure some fight
