Americans Praised By
President Of Frances
Chamber Of Deputies

PARIS. June 2.-"In these
troublous times, as well as in the
glorious days when Lafayette, Ro-
chambeau and their companions
in arms turned toward the coasts
Of America, the soul Of every
Frenchman today is turned to-
ward yours, Americans"
President Paul Deschanel, Of
the French Chamber OF Deputies,
thus summed up the feelings of
France for the United States and
Frances appreciation OF Americas
war efforts.
He added: Its one of the finest
things in the history OF our two
peoples, who fought together for
the liberty Of the New World, that
today they should be fighting
shoulder to shoulder for the free

ELECTRIC ROADS
ALL over COUNTRY
SEEK RATE RAISES

The. electric lines Of the country
have called for help. They want
freight and, passenger rates increased
proportionately as high as the new
rates, OF the steam lines under Gov
eminent operation. And the Rail-
road Administration has been asked
TO use its influence in that d.rec-
ten" -....
Although Director General McAdoo
can take no official action to relieve
the electric lines as he did the steam
ROADS, the Railrosd Administration is
know to be strongly in favor of
granting the interurban systems more
revenue. II was denied here that
any such recommendation hal been
made. OfhciGls asserted. however.
that should the administration off,
ctals be consulted by State commits
sions, they would encourage the raise
in rates.
The financial condition OF the va
rious electric lines is regarded as
oeSperats. Many are on the verge OF
failing into recivershlp because Of
the tFenmedous increase in cost Of
operation. So since the electric line
owners failed at being taken under
the wing Of the Government, they
are trying to gain the same end
through the help Of the Railroad Ad-
ministration in obtaining rate in
cresses
Private ldvices at the Railroad Ad-
ministration Offices indicate many OF
the State public service commissions
realize the handicap under which the
tntrastate passenger carrying is done
now. But q general. and nationwide
de-nand, for advances in rates is be-
heved here 20 be the only method
By which the electric lines can ac-
eomplish. the end.
