law applied to the of Mayor Cage Section 1890 of the

MOSCOW TELEPHONE RATES
WILL NOT BE INCREASED

The effort of the Moscow Telephone
q Telegraph company, owners OF the
telephone system in Moscow and adj
jacent country, to have the rates on
Moscow business telephones increased
will be abandoned. This notice was
received by Mayor Warren Truitt
from A. T. West, president of the
company, whose home is at Daven-
port, Wash. Mr.. West says he has
notified the public utilities commits
sion of the withdrawal of his applica-
tion for increased rates for Moscow
telephones and will not ask that the
rates for these be increased.
But he announces that he will con-
tinue the application for an increase
in the rates charged for rural tele-
phones radiating from Moscow. These
telephone lines are owned by the
patrons but have connection with the
Moscow central and have been
month for the service. Mr.. West will
ask the commission for authority to
increase this to Sc per year or SO
cents per month and will press the
application. He contends that the
rate given Moscow rural lines Is be-
low that charged for the same serv-
ice in any other town in the north
west and that it is below acual cost.
He will file new application for per-
mission to increase rates on rural
lines but will ask no increase for
telephones in Moscow.
There are $50 rural telephones eff
fected by this application and the
proposed increase would mean $3.50
per year increase in the net revenue
of the telephone company. This
movement, to eliminate the city tele-
phones from the application will
transfer the fight to the rural patrons
of the telephone system and eliminate
the personal interest of the city pat
rons The dae of the new hearing
will be fixed by the commission and
Moscow patrons will be notified. The
hearing will probably be held in Mos

GEN. WOOD SLIGHTLY
WOUNDED BY SHELL
Major Joyce and Colonel XII
bourne Also Hurt at OBJ
SeVatiOn Post

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2s.-That a
fresh announcement of American partici-
patton in actual battling will be forth
coming soon was the belief of many
here today.
This thought was strengthened by
the fact that several infantrymen the
past week have been reported killed or
wounded lin action" while Major Gen
eral Leonard Wood has been hurt by an
accidental explosion in France.
News of the wounding of General
Wood. former chief of staff, but now
comma nder Of Camp Funston, Kan, was
included in a dispatch from American
headquarters telling that two Of his
staff Lieutenant Colonel Kilbourne and
Ma tor Joyce has been wounded and five
French soldiers had been killed. Another
dispatch from General Pershing related
that FIVE infantrymen had been hurt in
action.
Where or how either of these Incl
dents occurred was unrevealed.
General Wood, like other general Of
ficers. has been having a chance 20
see the American training at close range
in France but the accident may have
occurred at a point on the allied bat
tie line.
The casualties of the past week in
dictate that a portion OF the American
forces may be finishing their training
by having front line experiences. Perish
ing has not illuminated his caualty re-
ports but il is likely that the cases re-
suited from patrol clashes or small
trench raids.
Secretary Baker announced the acct
dent in this statement:
a cable dispatch from the head
quarters of General Pershing states that
an accidental explosion occurring today
killed five French soldiers and slightly
injured Major General Wood in the arm,
Lieutenant Colonel Charles +. kilbourne,
in the eye and Major Kenyon A. Joyce
in the arm"
1t is understood the message was
brief and gave no further details. Cen
eral Woods tour would carry hims both
to the front and TO the American train
ing camps behind the lines, but there
is no Indication as to where the acct
dent occurred.
All the divisional commanders have
been or will be sent to Europe for brief
periods General Wood. commanding
Camp Funston, Kas., went over several
weeks ago.
