ORCHESTRA DATE
TN FARGO WILL
BE LATER RESULT
OF FLU EPIDEMIC


Because of the nationwide epi-
demic of influenza. the dates of the
Paris Symphony orchestra have nee
essarily been changed, according to
word received today by the Fargo
War Organization under the aus
pices Of which the orchestra will
play in Fargo.
The originally fixed date for the
'orchestra's appearance in Fargo
was Nov. %, but the Fargo
War Organization is advised that it
is not possible to come on that date.
Fargo will most certainly hear
the orchestra, but just now we can
not select the new date," is the tenor
of the advices received from the or
chestra management.
The Paris Symphony orchestra ar
rived in America several weeks ago,
and it was through the efforts Of the
Fargo War Organization that the
famed organization has selected Far
go as one Of the cities it will visit.

LONDON, May The Sun corre-
spondent is informed in semi-official
sources that Leon Trotzky. leader OF
the Russian Bolshev!ki. has agreed that
Great Britain should take over the great
accumulations of military. railroad and
food stores at Archangcl. and that the
Bolsheviki are becoming more pro-Ally
every day. whereas the middle and
upper classes OF Russia are exhibiting
increased pro-German tendencies.
The same authority said 1t was un-
fortunate that the newspapers had
adopted hostile attitude toward the
former Dutch Minister OF War, who was
credited with coming to England as the
emissary Of the German Foreign Secre-
tary Won kuh'mann. and that he might
have given valuable information to the
Government had his mission been re-
ceived in a different spirit.
The correspondent of the Star says
that Colyn. who was Dutch Minister OF
War In 1910. is now a partner in the
Anglo Dutch Petroleum Company, which
was financed by the Rothschilds for the
operation of wells in the Dutch East
Indies. that he recently had been in close
touch with Won Kuhlmann and that the
suggested peace terms he outlined cor
respond roughly with those unfolded in
dispatches from The Hague published
yesterday.
Colyn. adds the correspondent, Is not
political novice, and may he trusted
not to have dreamed or imagined his
peace tentatives.

WASHINGTON, May "A schedule OF
sweeping freight rate and passenger
fare increases on the railroads Of the
country to absorb the heavy additional
expenditures necessary to meet increases
In wages recommended by the railroad
wage board is being prepared by the
Railroad Administration.
No official action has been taken by
Director-General McAdoo. but there Is
little doubt that tariffs being prepared
will be filed with the Interstate Com
merce Commission providing for the in
creascs necessary to absorb the wage
increase.
With the Government operating the
railroads and guaranteeing earnings the
public must take up the burden either
In rates or taxes. Railroad officials
held the view that 1t Is only fair that
the shippers who get the service should
pay and distribute the cost II neces-
sary to those directly benefited by
the railroad service.
Without a compensating increase In
rates the Government undoubtedly
would have to pay large sum to make
up the resulting deficit In railroad earn
inEs.
Justice Covington, member Of the
Railway Wage Board. said emphatically
tonight that no figures from the boards s
repoht had been made public and that
they were being kept in the strictest con-
fidence. He declined either to deny or
affirm the correctness Of the Agures that
have been quoted. Other members and

"The interallied labor conference in

SUCH conference as Is proposed. He
