The director general allows for the
redemption of tickets and mileage
books purchased before June 10 and
rendered invalid after that date when
the higher fares become effective.
Unused portions of mileage books and
unused or partly used tickets will be
redeemed at their original purchase
rate.
The rs per cent. increase in freight
charges will apply generally to class
and commodity rates, but minor vari-
ations will be necessary in many
cases. For instances, where certain
relationships exist between rival COM
mercial centers the 255per cent. in
crease will apply to the longer. dis
lance and the rate to the nearer To-
cality will be the same number of
cents less, as under present schedules.
In this way charges form any short
hauls will be raised more than Is per
cent.
Flat increases are provided for
coal, carried under commodity rates,
as follows: Fifteen cents a net ton
of 1000 pounds, where rate is now
less than 40 cents a ton; 20 cents
where rate is SO to 80 cents; 80 cent?
where rate is 81 to $1.99; 40 cents
where rate is $40 to $2.99; and so
cents where rate is SO or more.
Minimum charges on less than car
load shipments will be increased in
accordance with new class ratings, but
in no case is the charge on a single
shipment to be less than so cents. The
minimum charge for carload ship
ments is to be SIS car.
Referring to differentials, the order
says:
I'm establishing the freight rates
herein ordered while established rate
groupings and -differentials are
not required to be used, their use is
desirable if found practicable, even
though certain rates may result which
are lower or higher than would other
wise obtain"

SAVED AMERICA

Declaring that America was saved
from German invasion by Serbia
stubborn defense against the Hun
hordes, Ruth Farnum, a sergeant in
the Serbian army, speaking last night
at the Sunday evening Community
Forum of the United church, made
known to her audience some startling
facts which greatly surprised the ma
jority of her hearers.
The speaker said that by barring
German progress into Asia Minor,
China, and Mexico, the Serbians saved
America from a German invasion
which was aimed at the Mississippi
valley.
Sergeant F'arnum also told last
night of her exciting experiences while
on active duty with the Serbian army,
and she pleaded with her audience to
support the Red Cross with all their
might Her address made a profound
impression last evening, and will not
soon be forgotten by those who were
| in attendance.

Quaint Old CHyofDouai
Rose In The Middle Ages

The old French city OF Doual, re-
ported today as finally in possess
ion OF the allies is described in the
Encyclopedia Britannica as follows:
Douai, or Douay, is an ancient
and once strongly-fortilied city OF
France in the department OF Nord.
situated on the Scarpe, at railway
| junction Is miles south OF Lille. Its
triple line of Notifications, partly
| the work of Nauban and partly OF
more modern structure, includes a
considerably larger space than Is
requisite for the area OF its build
ingS; the streets are consequently
spacious, and the number and size
OF the gardens unusually large. Be
sides a variety OF administrative
offices, the town possesses a court
OF appeal, which holds is sessions
in the place OF the ancient parlia-
mcnt OF FlandedS and during the
Franco Prussian war, it contained
one OF the principal cannon foun-
dries of the kingdom, an arsenal,
and large artillery establishments,
and is further remarkable Tor the
number of its literary and scientific
institutions among which may be
mentioned the Academy, with its
faculties OF letters and law, repre-
senting the university established in
1902, the college, founded by Car
dinal Allen for the education OF
| English Roman Catholic priests ;
the government school OF artillery
a school of drawing and music, a
museum OF natural history and an
tiquities, enriched with sculptured
stones and inscriptions from NeVal
botanical garden, collection OF
paintings, and a public library OF
upwards OF 10000 volumes, and
among the rest about 800 incuna-
bula
The church OF Notre Dame dates
from the twelfth and fourteenth
centuries and preserves remark
able painting, containing 254 figures
which formerly belonged to the alb
bey of Anchin, and was apparently
the work of Jean Bellegambe; the
ancient Carthusian convent is still
in ce;tant as an artillery magazine ;
and the toWn-house ranks as one
OF the historical monuments of
France, and is architecturally inter
esting for its ogival windows and
its belfrey and spire.
Railways and canals open up to
Douai an extensive trade in corn,
wine, brandy. cattle, wool, flax, and
other agricultural products; and it
manufactures lace. gauze, cotton,
linens. thread, earthenWare, soap
salt and beer.
The origin of the town is a mat
ter of dispute, but it rose into i'm
portance in the Middle Ages under
the counts of Flanders, passed att
erwards into the possession of the
dukes of Burgundy, and thus be-
came subject to the Spanish crown.
In 1867 it was captured by the
French under Louis XIV; and
though the allies under Marlbor-
ough and Eugene obtained posses
sion in Hl9. it was retaken by the
French in LII, and finally incor-
porated with France, l71+.

Thursday, Oct. 17.-(By The Asso-

siderable opposition has been met
by the British in the region south
west of Douai, but this fighting died
down some hours ago.
In the Lille area, allied troops
have reached Roncq. a new cross
ing of the Lys has been effected
south OF Bulverghem.
There was little opposition north
and south of Lille and the British
moved ahead today.
The ourth British army launched
powerful attack from l. Cateau
southwark this morning. American
contingents are participating in the
fighting. Firts reports indicate eX-
cellent progress made everywhere
against the desperately fighting
Germans, who are being driven back
toward the Disc.
The Selle river has been crossed
at St. Benin, and the station has
been captured. At last reports the
allies were well east of the river
and still advancing.

Victorian era, the Colonial tradi.
ton persists today more firmly in
trenched than ever in American es-
TEEN. The stoppage OF that at
tempted revival OF mediaeval styels
and ill-advised transplantings from
distant lands through the general
suspension OF building was one of
the few happy results of the Civil
! War.
More new houses are now being
built in the spirit of our eighteenth
and early nineteenth century farm
houses and mansions than with any
other guiding motives. Their basic
principles and details are still in con-
slant use, often employed in original
ways to fulfill the new purposes OF
our ever-changng life, but always
closely associated with the spirit of
the original usage. BY this broad
application great diversity OF design
is permitted, yet very desirable re-
straint exercised through the influ-
ence of that which has gone before
Colonial is a comprehensive term
including much OF a widely differ
ing character. Surely we have am
pie evidence that it is broad enough
for almost any purpose. This di,I
verSity is one of its principle charms.
