TWENTY-FIVE PER CENT
ADVANCE IN R. R. RATES.

gest rate increase in the history OF
railroads Passenger rates become el-
fectiye June 10, and freight rates
June 25 The schedule affects both
class and commodity rates. All spec
ial excursions, mileage. convention
and tourist rates, with few excep-
tions, are abolished. Excess baggage
charges are increased. Proportionate
increase will be made on the rates
of lake, river and coastwise boat
lines operated by railroads
Export and import freight rates are
ordered cancelled The increased do.
nestle rates viii apply to and from
all ports A number of flat increases
instead OF percentage additions are
ordered for coal. coke. lumber, ore.
stone, grain. cotton, livestock, meats,
sugar, bullion, ands other commodi-
ties.
Existing dlfferentials and rate re-
lationship between various localities
win be preserved as far as possible.
This means readjustment will be
necessary later All rates are subject
10 review, and correction by the Ia
terstate commerce commission.
Secretary McAdoo explained that
no part OF the increase was due to
the billion dollar program for i'm
provement additions and equipment
purchase for this year
The order provides that intra-state
rates be abolished and substitute in.
terstate rates between the same
points and that all shall be raised to
the standard of the national level.
This develops the first definite con.
flict between the federal administrs-
tion and commissions over jurisdic-
ton. Mr.. McAdoo said he believed
no state commission could overrule
the new rates.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, May 27.-- The activities of
the American air squadron operating
in the sector northwest of Toul seem
to have had results even more effec-
tive than was anticipated. When II
first began its work there we're be-
tween 80 and so summons to take to
the air coming to our aviators daily
Gradually the number Of calls has
dwindled until for several days the
average has been only two a day.
From a strictly technical, military
standpoint, the operations of the
American airmen have two objects.
The first is to kill off the opposing
airmen, while the second is to keep
the enemy from flying his machines
on the American side of the line and
thus preventing him from taking
photographs, regulating artillery fire
or in any way securing information.
The American airmen have done
much toward accomplishing both OBJ
iects.
The record shows that the new
squadron has already taking cred
ible toll OF enemy pilots and OBJ
servers. while for a German airplane
to come over the American lines now
is rare occurrence This situation
contrasts sharply with that which
prevailed when these aviators first
started operating. Il Wss No unusual
