U. 5. SOLDIERS.
IMPRESS THE
GERMANS MUCH
American Warriors Describ-
ed as Revelation to
Boches.

That the American soldiers are a
revelation to their enemies is a TACT
which is pointed u in a letter receiv-
ed today by Attorney j. B. Wtneman
from c.. D. Locklin, Jr., a member of
Company NJ. 164th infantry regiment,
of the American ex~peditionary forces.
Mr.. Locklin says the Germans are
surprised at the number of Americans
engaged and lis at their manner OF
fighting.
Parts of Mr.. Locklin's letter read as
follows:
You probably are following the
battles on h western front so closely
that anything I could write which
would get by the censor, would be old
to you. There are several facts which
we know (the letter is dated June 81
which would be mighty interesting to
you, but as long as they have not
been made public. it is probable that
they are to remain under a
while longer.
Boches Arc Surprised.
THE United States troops are a
revelation to the Germans. The prison.
ers from the boche lines say they
never saw such fighting. They are sur
prised at the numbers of Americans
in it and their mode of fighting. They
are ldheu ny surprise III dlIIlOSI every
attack. The Americans seem to do
just what the Germans don't expect
them to do. AS in the asst attack u
troops made at Chateau Thierry when
they made a dash without a barrage)
that drove the Germans back over a
mile. We have never engaged the
boche yet but that we have given him
a bad beating. And it is going to con-
tinue so. To retreat is not in the
American regulations.
"On the western front u men
have beer going ahead or holding out
while the rest have beer falling back.
One outfit landed in the trenches two
days go. They had ridden all day
straight to get there, and As minutes
after they arrived, they were fighting.
They had never been under fire be-
fore. but they shattered a mas of
Germans at that point with machine
SCc fire and moved on to another
point where they covered a counter
s--lck the French made. I tell you
wien we know what the boys are do.

Red River Power Company
& Announces Increase in

Higher freight rates and higher

principal reasons for an upward re-
vision Of electric, gas and steam rates
announced to the company patrons in

About three-fourths Of the Grand

by the new rate schedule that their

Is somewhat more for the large
lighting and power consumers who,
because OF large consumption have
been enjoying low rates in the past.
i& Gas Is Hit Harder.
The gas business, the company says.
is hit harder than the electric as only
eastern coal car be used in gas pro-
duction. The present gas rate is
$3.50 per thousand cubic feet with a
cash discount Of 10 per cen plus the
10 per cent emergency surcharge. The
new rate is 1925 per thousand cubic
feet with Is cents per thousand dis
count for prompt payment and no
surcharge or $500 net. The sur
abolished. The minimum bill is 500
per month for both gas and electrici-
ty.
Steam rates also are advanced. The
price of coal, the company officials
say. makes operation of the steam
heating plant impossible under pres
cnt prices.
Circumstances Beyond Control.
These are new conditions never be-
fore encountered in the history of
public utility operation" said w. II.
Brown, local manager of the com
pany. this afternoon; lit is obvious
thai this company has no possible
control over a major share of the in
creased cost of production. Freight
rates have been advanced by the gov
eminent all the way from rs to 200
per cent. This is in itself an i'm
portant item to us. for we are farther
from coal fields than any other por-
ton of the United States. The price
Of Goa also has been fixed by the
government and has more than
doubled what we formerly paid when
one considers not only actual price
but heat unit value. Labor also has
advanced in cost. President Wilson
and Secretary McAdoo both appreci-
ate the unparalleled situation con-
fronting public utilities and have ask
ed that each local community recog-
nize this situation and sustain its re-
spective utilities by paying rates
commensurate with the increased cost
of production. They point out that
not only are the utilities necessary
from, a manufacturing standpoint but
that should their financial stability be
impaired it would be a serious blow to
the nation financially and would
greatly impair war financing.

NEW SYSTEM OF WRITING.
Print" Method Adopted in Some o,
the London Schools,

correspondence of the Associated Press.
LONDON, February 25-Several Lon
don schools have introduced a new
system OF writing known as 'manu-
script" or print" writing, which re-
places the former vertical or spencerian
systems. In the new system the chill
dren initiate the form Of printed char
acters. and 1t Is claimed that the task
Of learning to write legibly is greatly
shortened and simplified by the leav-
ing out of the unnecessary connecting
up-strokes.
The new system was first introduced
in military establishments for con-
valescent soldiers, originating in the
desire to find q method of writing
which could be quickly learned by
soldiers who had lost the use Of their
right hand. It's advocates claim that
the print" writing Is easy to learn,
neat. legible ana speedy. and that 1t
removes the great disadvantage Of two
kinds of letters with which the child
has to contend in learning to read and
to write.
In q pamphlet issued by the Child
Study Society Of London, DR.. I. C. Kim
Minis, chief inspector Of the London
education department. calls the new
system the writing Of the future"

PETROGRAD. January 4.-The pop
ular revolutionary tribunal" whose
initial experience in dispensing demo-
cratic Justice was the trial of Countess
Panina, the well known philanthropic
and educational worker. has since tried
several cases. the most important OF
which was that of Gen. Boldireff.
charged with insubordination and
sentenced to three years imprisonment
But the operation Of this primitive
court suffered a severe Jolt when the
case of L. M. Bramson, popular leader
Of the moderate socialists. came up for
trial. Bramson was charged with pub
fishing several articles of counter
revolutionary character" in one of the
socialist papers. When he entered the
courtroom the spectators rose and
cheered tumultuously.
The president OF the court attempted
to stop the demonstration. but his
words were drowned in the noise and
he motioned to the officer on duty to
clear the room. This caused storm OF
indignant protests. Amid the din and
call a popular tribunal" You want to
make a torture chamber here" you
may drive US out with bayonets: we
will not leave the room" Bramson
also protested against the attempt to
deny him a public trial. Unable to re-
store order. the president of the court
called armed guards. directed that the
prisoner be taken back to prison and
adjourned the session.
