Paris.-"An offensive is about to

within hearing of the ceaseless guns,
while men, horses and batteries
slushed by in the mud on their way
toward the uproar, IAN offensive like

"And with America here now to add
her mite and coming all the time, shall
we help much?" asked the correspond.
ent
mot yet is America a deciding fac.
tor, but soon," he replied. AS the
amalgamation proceeds, which is pro.
viding the allied line with fresh re-
serves and splendid material, your
men are getting their baptism of fire
side by side with our veterans under
officers who are experienced in this
new warfare.
Troops and more troops, amalgama.
ton and still further amalgamation are
the need and promise of this hour. You
must know that we are keenly sensi-
BILE to Americas effort, in spite OF
shipping difficulties, to land men In
France, and we deeply rejoice over
the increasing arrivals
I'VE deeply appreciate President
Wilson's approval of brigading them
with the French and British, that their
strength may be speedily utilized. But
urge America TO understand that we
are in the decisive hour of the war,
which has become one OF endurance.
We are relying on America to give us
the maHpower, without which the war
may be lost.
Waste no tonnage at this moment
an food and ammunition for the
French, but send men, men, and bril-
gade them quickly with the French
and British. On Americas full reali-
zation OF this imperative, Immediately
necessary, and that of bringing all of
her immense resources and splendid
talents to bear and on the fullfilment
of these tasks with the utmost speed,
depends largely the fate of US ALL in
Guiding America.
For we in Europe well know the

RAILROAD RATES TO
|. GO UP Is PER CENT
HIGHER OPERATING COSTS CAUSE
or INCREASE IN FREIGHT AND
PASSENGER RATES.
lakes IN ENTIRE COUNTRY
Passenger Fares VIII BE Raised &c
Average Of Three Cents a Mile.
Increases Would Yield About
$1,000 900 Revenue.

Observation-Disclosures made by
railroad administration officials indi.
cate that an increase of at least 20
per cent in freight and passenger rates
will be necessary this year to meet
the higher costs OF fuel, wages, equip
ment and other operating expenses,
now set at between 5000, 100000 and
$3.50, 100000 more than last year.
Recommendation that rates be raised
by approximately this percentage has
been made to Director General Nc.
Adoo by his advisers. He is expected
to act within the next six weeks, and
to put increases into effect. Shippers
will be permitted to appeal to the
Interstate Commerce Commission UNI
der the railroads act and final de-
cision will be with the president
Such an increase as is proposed
would be the biggest in history Of
American railways, as the percentage
is larger than any ever sought by the
railways under private management,
and would apply alike to the entire
country. Both class and commodity
schedules would be affected.
Rate experts of the Interstate Com.
merce commission and railroad admin
istration now are at work on new
schedules. Any increases to be or
dered will be arranged in manner
to preserve rate relationships between
communities and regions, officials say,
so that industries and commercial In
terests will be subject to the same de.
gree Of rate competition as at present
Passenger fares would be raised
under the plan suggested to about
cents a mile from the existing gen
eral rate Of q little less than 2h
cents.
The proposed increase, 1t is est.
mated. would yield about s9OO,OOO,000
800, 100000 In freight and 100000.
900 In passenger revenues. This would
leave a margin above the estimated In
crease in operating expenses eventual.
ly, but since the new rates would not
go into effect until the year is half
over, their yield would fall several
hundred million dollars short of meet.
Ing the anticipated deficit this year.

Washington.-More than 1900, 900
men have been called In the draft so
far and either are in France, In camp
or under call to go into service before
June l.
The total OF 100000 includes all
men summoned in the May contingent.
There is every indication that even a
larger increment will be summoned in
June than was summoned in May and
a progressive monthly mobilization
continue through the summer and fall
months as the environments are expand
ed It is expected that at such a rate
the army will reach a full strength Of
we'll over 3 100000 within the next II
or Is months. II is possible, some Of
ficials say, that the number will be
closer to 100000 than 100000.
Although American troops are going
overseas In large numbers, the ord
nance department has been able to
keep up the new program and every
soldier who boards a transport is fully
equipped with arms, the ordnance bu.
reau announces.
Artillery and machine guns already
are in France in sufficient quantities,
it was said, to meet immediate de-
mands.
The statement said:
"The army ordnance department has
thus far met every demand imposed by
the new program for overseas ship
ment of American troops.
Despite the great acceleration in
the sending OF American forces to
France, no infantrymah goes aboard
