State Chairman Oscar F. Benson in the
town hall building reached the hand
some total of $240,29O.4s.
Only a few reports were received this
forenoon, so it would not be surprising
if a considerable sum of money came

600 instead Of 100000.
The drive ends at midnight tonight,

Mr.. Benson sent a telegram last night
to the county chairmen urging a con-
tinuat;on of active efforts until the end
of the drive, in support of those who
are protecting America.
In Bennington there is lively bidding
for the two pounds of wool sheared from

Fares-Special Excursion and Mile
age Rates Cut Out.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-To meet
wage increases just announced and
higher cost of coal and other supplies
this year, Director General McAdoo to-
day ordered railroad freight rates in
the United States raised % per cent
and passenger fares increased to three
cents q mile from the present basis
of about 212 cents. 1t is estimated
that the program will bring between
$500, 100000 and 100000 more rev.
enue to the railroads within the next
year. 1t represents by far the biggest
rate increase in the history of the rail
roads.
The new freight charges, which cover
both class and commodity, become ef-
fective June 25, and the passenger in
crease will go into effect June 10.
Issued under authority granted by
the railroad act to President Wilson,
acting through the director-general,
the order wipes out all intrastate lower
rates effective on either freight or pas
senger traffic.

a few exceptions are discontinued.
| Privileges such as stop-overs and free
side trips are abolished and excess bag

freight and passenger rates of lines OPP
Grated on the lakes, rivers or coastwise
by railroads are to be raised proper
tionately with the general increases
All the rates are subject to review by
the interstate commerce commission
cit is earnestly hoped said the
director general, 'that all citizens af
feeted directly or indirectly by this in
crease will accept the additional burder
in the same spirit of self-sacrifce il
which they have accepted other bur
dens which are part of the price thai
the nation is patriotieally paying fol
world liberty.
Director General McAdoo today tele
/ graphed the 1chairmen of state railroa,
commissions, notifying them of, the in
creased rate and asking them to coop
crate by suggesting re-adjustments o
changes. The director general does no
: expect state authorities to overrule an
r of his rate orders, however.

After Rest of Four Weeks
German Army Strikes AL
lied Lines Fiercely
APPARENTLY HAVE
TWO OBJECTIVES
Attack simultaneously to Cut Through
to Channel Ports on the North, Break
ing UP British Front, and to Reach
Paris from South.

Germany has resumed her drive for a
decision on the western front after a
lapse of nearly four weeks, striking in
the south between Rheims and scissors
and in Flanders on the northerly side
of the Lys salient.
While it is too early for the true Ger
man intention to be disclosed the eff
forts, apparently simultaneously, are
20 cut through to the channel ports in
the north, thus breaking up the British
front, and TO strike for Paris in the
south in an effort aimed mainly at the
French. The southern blow, which GOV.
ers front of some 80 miles and ap
parently is by far the more important
of the two, has come at point which
had not been considered the most prob
able field for renewal of the Ger
man attempt.

WHAT THE VICTORY OR
DEFEAT OF GERMANY
MEANS TO EVERY AMERICAN

Contributed by ALBERT PAYSON
TERHUNE, author and globe-trotter,
to the National Security Leagues
campaign of Patriotism Through Edu-
cation.)
Germany's victory would mean all
that the alarmists have said-the set
back of humanity, democracy, civiliza-
ton, rights Of man, etc. But, to Amer
lea, it would mean infinitely more.
1t would mean our first national de-
feat; and, thus, would smash our per-
tect record for victories-a record as
old as our natiOn-a record that means
more than the right to brag. Even as
a beaten army never wholly regains It's
old form-even as beaten ring cham
pion sinks at once into desuetude-so
our nation Gts traditions of victory
gomez would suffer far worse deteriora-
ton than the mere fact Of defeat could
.infiict
It would mean that the man who has
risked all in his country's struggle for
Right could never again feel his former
calm certainty that Right must tri-
umph Thus, the moral tone OF the in
dividual, as well as of the nation,
would inevitably be lowered.
This country has never embarked IN
n war of conquest From 1775 to the
nresent we have fought for Liberty or
for Union or for the Oppressed-ever
for some sterling principle of right.
From childhood we have been taught
TO believe that the high unselflsnness
of our war aims has given us the VIC
tory. We have seen the decay or de-
struction Of men and nations that nave
battled for dominion-as Germany ls
now battling. Should we fail IN tnls'
our mightiest war for the Right, the
average man must lose forever the
simple Faith which has led our dear
country from nothingness to Its pres
ent estate For that Faith, more tnan
for anything else, our sacrifice IS
hundredfold justified.
