REDUCTION IN; LONG DISTANCE
AND TOLL RATES JANUARY 2i

| Washington, Dec. 1S.-Sweeping
reductions in long distance and toll
telephone rates by the adoption of a
basic charge of II mills a mile,
airline mileage, and half the day
rate for night service up to midnight
and one-fourth the day rate after
that hour, were announced recently
by Postmaster General Burleson.
They become effective next January
l21.
"A night service rate" said the
statement, which is one-half the
day rate is established between 81
80 and IL p. m. Between midnight
and 1880 a. M, the night rate Is
one-fourth the date rate. These are
greater reductions in night rates
than have ever been made in any
country and doubtless will be extern
sively used, especially for social and
family purposes. A person might
talk from San Francisco to New for
about $4, whereas the day rate IL
approximately .16.
"A station to station service is es-
tablished such as now exists in the
balance of the world, that is, when q
connection is established with a
mans house or office, the opportuni-
!ty to converse is provided and the
station to station rate, which is the
basic rate, applies and is payable
whether the particularly person de-
sires. This rate up to twenty-four
miles Is at the rate of five cents for
six miles and for greater distances
five cents for each eight miles, or
about six and one-fourthgdO mills a

WILSON BOYS ABOARD

New York, Dec. 1S.-After being
held by the fog outside of Sandy
Hook for twenty-four hours and de-
layed thirty-six hours on the voyage
from Brest by a series of westerly
gales and head seas, the American
transport Leviathan arrived at Pier
A, Hoboken, at 8:45 yesterday morn
ing, with 10,S29 persons on board.
This number included, according
to the figures of the Executive Med
ical Officer, 4,746 supernumeraries
of the United States Navy 3,63Osen-
listed men and officers of the Unit
ed States Army, 10 civilians, ma
rines and 2,27S officers and men Of
the crew of the Leviathan. OF the
soldiers, 1900 were sick and wound
ed. In all there were 1881 of Am
erica's armed forces ahead.
A great many of the wounded be-
longed to the 9th and 30th Divis-
ions, which suffered heavily in the
fighting on the Hindenburg line near
st. Quentin, which terminated in the
capture Of that German stronghold
on Sept. 29.
Numbers of soldiers among the
wounded on the Leviathan had been
decorated by the French Govern
ment as we'll as their own for brav-
cry in the field, including several
ambulance drivers who had picked
up men under heavy fire.
Commencing with the arrival Of
the Mauretania, the returning SOL
diers have received sincere and en-
thusiastic greetings from New York,
but yesterday there was almost as
much tumult down the bay, when
the Leviathan came up from her an
chorage as there was in this city on
the day the armistice was signed.
The noise continued until the ship
was made fast at her pier, and for
nearly an hour afterward.

KING VICTOR
OF ITALY
No CHANGE IN
FREIGHT RATES
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Will Investigate Rates
for North Carolina
BEFORE MAKING CHANGE

Washington, Dec. 1S.-The State
of North Carolina won tentative
victory yesterday in the manner of
adjustment of freight rates. The
railroad administration has inform
ed Senator Simmins that the freight
rate scales and schedules as applied
to North Carolina would not be put
in force until the Interstate Com
merce Commission has examined the
schedules.
The presentation of A. j. Maxwell
made specific complaints about the
freight rates scales and schedules,
The railroad administration, howev-
er, has not promised to accept the
recommendations of the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
The initial victory won is simply
step-over station which affords OPP
portunities for the North Carolina
Corporation Commission to marshal
its full forces in making a determin-
ed fight against the alleged freight
rate discrimination.
Senator f. M. Simmons, of North
arolina, chairman of the Senate FL
nance Committee, and Representa-
tive Asbury Lever, of South Carroll
ma, chairman of the House Commit
tee on Agriculture have an appoint
ment with Secretary of War Newton
ID. Baker today relative to the sale
and distribution of nitrate of soda
TO southern farmers. Determined
efforts will be made to have the War
Department lift the embargo on nj
trates and make possible an unre-
strlcted market for the farmers.
AS a forerunner of the conference
with ecretary of War Baker, Senator
Simmons wrote a letter to him ves-
terday suggesting that a salvage
price should obtain for materials as
left--overs from the war. The opin-
Ion OF the Department of Agricul-
ture as to the prevailing price of nj
trate of soda in an unrestricted mar
ket and the cost to the farmer under
an embargo will constitute testimo-
ny presented to ecretary Baker by
senator Simmons and Representa-
tive Lever. A marginal cost of
from twenty to twenty-five dollars
to the ultimate consumer is appar-
ent.
