of all duplicate passenger service on

control by the government, and as

management. The commission took
into consideration the fact that the
roads are under the same manage

OF the government The granting Of
the petition simply means that when
the Southern has train due, no train

The commission. in granting the peti-

to add such equipment as may be
necessary to handle comfortably their

Murder of Eichhorn Is
Proof Of Russian Peoples
Hatred of German Yoke

Paris, Aug. 1.-The murder OF
Field Marshal Won Eichhorn, accord
ing to the comment in the Paris
newspapers, demonstrates that in
spite of their legendary pacifity, the
Russian people cannot endure the
German yoke. This crime. the papers
say, coming after the assassipation
of Count Won Mirbach, the German
ambassador to Russia. shows that the
return to dictatorial methods of gov
ernment in Russia was bound to
place bombs in the hands of those
men who for many years knew no
other argument of opposition. The
newspapers insist that Germany is
reaping the harvest she sowed.
"The situation in the Tast" says the
Gaulois presents particularly stormy
omens. 1t is aggravated by the fact
that the allies are ready to begin
operations to deliver the Russian
people and that the campaign in Si-
IBERIA will be coincident with opera
tions on the Murman coast. Who
knows If Germany will not be obliged
to reconstitute the eastern front?"
