Mount Pleasant, June 1l.-Barred
from active enlistment in the army on
account OF the age limit, President
Edwin A. Schell for the past ten years
president of Iowa Wesleyan College
has surmounted this seeming difficulty,
and will leave within few weeks to
enter the over seas work Of the Red
Cross as chaplain. His assignment
will carry him either to France or. Italy.
The announcement Of DR.. Schelfs care
fully expressed wish came as distinct
shock in college circles, when this loss
was realized, altho his intimate friends
have long known his ardent desire to
enter some active branch of the war
work. While in Washington recently
accompanying his daughter on an edu-
catfonal trip to celebrate her graduation
from college he offered himself for this
work. 1t was Immediately accepted by
Bishop Mcdowell. While the commits
sion has not been actually issued it is
assured contingent upon the physical
examination about which Dr. Schell
feels entirely confident.
Neither the trustees nor the executive
committee have been actually consulted,
as DR.. Schell is at present in Evanston,
H., attending the commencement ex-
ercises of Northwestern University. OF
which institution he is an alumnus,
but upon his return the proposal will be
presented to the board at a special
meeting to be held soon. II there Is
any unwillingness to give him leave
of absence DR. Schell will resign and
enter the Red Cross work for the dura-
ton Of the war.
President Schell by his unalloyed
Americanism has succeeded in placing
Wesleyan at the very fore front OF Am
erican colleges in active constructive
war work. AS result Of his efforts
Wesleyan was the first college to adopt
compulsory military training after the
declaration Of war and the first col
lege to drop German from the curri-
culum.
President schen Will continue his
relation as a member of the Iowa Coz
ference OF the Methodist church.

Des Moines, June 11.-There is some
prospect that there will be some mod!-
fication of the increases proposed in
the freight rates order as applied to
interstate rates, according to adviccs
received by the state railroad col--nis-
sion from representatives Of other
state commissions which are working
to that end. Intrastate rates have been
jumped all the way from 80 TO $50 p 9r
cent by these new freight rates.
Max Thelie, representing the asso-
citation of state railroad commissions,
Monday wired the Iowa commission 70
the effect that the new order will not
be suspended but will be materially
modified as the result of representa-
lions made by state commissions"
Thelie and others saw Director Cen
eral McAdoo at Sulphur Springs. where
he is taking a vacation. He directed
that they refer these matters to Judge
c. A Prouty, of Washington. former
member Of the interstate commerce
commission, who is now making rail-
road valuation of all of the lines in this
country. According to Thelie, Prouty
will recommend to the administration
these material notifications asked for
by the railroad commissioners.
In Doubt As to Powers.
The state railroad commissions also
are trying 70 ind ont Just where they
are at under this new arrangement Of
government control. The state COM
missions have put up to the govern
ment the following:
That the state should continue to ex-
ercise control over local rates.
The state should continue TO exercise
control over spur tracks, railroad
crossings. safety appliances, track con-
nections and station facilities.
The commissioners further ask a sus-
pension Of the increase in passenger
and freight rates for a reasonable time
to permit readjnsments.
There will be g. meeting OF Iowa trat-
flc men at the state house Wednesday,
called by State Commerce Counsel
II. Henderson, to go over the matter
Of the new rates as they apply to Iowa.
