Railroad Rates
To Be Increased.

Washington, May 24.-Railroad
transportation charges must be paid
in advance after July / under an
order issued yesterday by Director
General McAdoo abolishing the pres
ent system by which many large
shippers and consignees are given
credit on their freight bills for
weeks or months, while small pat
rons are required to settle on a cash
basis. Y
This means that under govern
ment management railroads will
collect each day the charges on
goods shipped or delivered that day,
with the exception that credit for
two days may be extended those
who file surety bond covering pay
ment Existing bonding arrange
ments are to be terminated July |
or as soon thereafter as possible

Transport Torpe-
dOed==56 Missing.

The British merchant transport,
Moldavia, carrying American troops
was torpedoed without warning,
early on Thursday morning of last
week, in the English Channel, and
Sc American troopers were report
ed missing. The vessel was struck
below the bridge and it is believed
that the American troopers who
lost their lives were sleeping on the
bottom deck and were overtaken by
the great thrush Of water after the
explosion. 1t was bright moon
light night and notwithstanding a
good lookout was kept, the subma-
rine was not sighted before the tor
pedo struck. The Moldavia was
conveyed by some destroyers that
picked up all on the ship except the
Sc stated. The Moldavia was $500
tons gross and was built in 1903.

Flags He Loved.

By his own request, Gen. John B,
Castleman, who died in Louisville,
KY, in the last weekend, was buri-
ed last Sunday, wrapped in both
the flags Of the United States and
the Southern Cohfederacy.
Gen. CastlemaA gained a place ID
history during the,rar JetweeH, the
states as the commapdk Of anlex-
petition, the purpose which rs

failed. Castleman was arrested as
a spy and held until the end Of the
war, when he was paroled upon the
condition that he leave the United
States. A couple Of years later
President Johnson by executive or
der permitted him to return, requir-
ing him to take the oath Of alleei-
gance.
Gen. Castleman was a veteran Of
the Spanish-American war and
commanded Kentucky troops dur
ing the unrest following the assassi-
nation Of Gov. William Goebel in

Rights of Farm Boys
To be Protected.

Farm boys who are called to the
colors are to be protected against
the land owners who would take
advantage of them and refuse to
pay for the work they have already
done on crops placed in rented
lands.
Maj. Rutledge Smith, Chairman
of the State Council of National
Defense, today sent out instructions
to one county legal committee to
see to it that these farm boys have
their rights protected in every way.
His letter was in response to a COM
plant from W. D. Preston, Govern
ment Appeal Agent, at Woodbury..
Cannon County.
Major Smith expressed surprise
that such condition could arise in
Tennessee, but stated that each
similar case would be investigated,
and that any farmer guilty Of at
tempting to rob these farm boys Of
any Of his American rights would
suffer severely.
Legal committees throughout the
territory where Major Smiths au-
thority extends will be impressed
with the importance of preventing
any such grating on the boys who
are called to the service of the
country. 1t is the purpose of the
Council Of National Defense to Sc
cure for every boy who is in the
service all that is coming to him,
and to see that the land owner or
others who would take advantage
Of of the BOYS be permitted to get
away with anything Of this un-
American character -Tenneseean &

May Raise Age
OF Enlistment.

Washington, May 24.--Another
move towards full utilization Of the
country's man power was made to-
day when Secretary Baker sent to
Congress the draft of a bill propos-
ing to raise the maximum age limit
for voluntary enlistment in the
army from 40 to SIS years. All men
over 40 so enlisted would be assign.
ed to noncOmbatant service.
In a letter to Speaker Clark ask
ing that the bill be pushed, Secre-
tary Baker said:
Every man above the age Of 40
years who is enlisted in noncombat-
ant branches Of the service will
make available for duty with the
line troops man within the pre-
scribed age limit for all troops.
Many men whose long expert.
ence as mechanics and artisans will
make them particularly valuable to
the various staff corps and depart
ments may be thus secured instead
Of younger men without such ex-
perience and the efficiency Of the
staff corps and the departments
thus will be increased
There probably are 100000 men
between the ages Of 40 and SIS. and
many thousands Of them, already
have attested their desire to serve
by bombarding the department with
applications. While the great ma
jority Of the men in this class un-
doubtedly will be restrained from
enlisting by family and business
ties, the number at liberty to join
the colors is expected to be more
than sufficient to meet the purpose
in view.
Staff corps positions include many
duties behind the front. Every
headquarters unit includes num-
Der Of positions for which the older
men would be just as we'll suited as
the present occupants who, under
the new plan, would be released for
line duty.
Official estimates are that a mod
ern army, to be maintained as an
efficient unit, must have between 40
and As per cent Of its actual
strength on duty behind the fight
ing zone. This means that of the
first 100000 men sent to France,
100000 serve along the lines Of
communication, in hospitals or at
the various headquarters and de-
barkatiOn bases.

TANKS ARE FEARED

action by direct hits. Every shot which
hits the mark kills several men of the
crew and often sets fire to the tank
The artillery sections which are held
in reserve back of the front do not
know what is going on, and in general
arrive too late to be of use.
1.-The cannon, in principle, should be
placed far in advance; thus the enelAy
is not able to surprise us.
THE commander of the front line
troops should be responsible for the
placing of antitank cannon. Pieces
mounted on auto trucks are very use
full, if the roads are good.
Infantry Should Be Repulsed.
''Infantry-The line of battle must
not be opened, except to allow intact
tanks to pass the troops may seek
cover, but should not fall back. 1t is
necessary that the tanks should be
put out of action back of the line. The
main thing is to repulse the enemy in
fantry. Several posts should be de-
tached behind the front for the de-
tense against the tanks.
Armament - The most efficaciOus
weapon against the tanks is the armor-
piercing bullet. 1t is feared by the
crews of the tanks, because it pierces
the armor and produces at the same
time great flame, which frequently
sets fire to the fuel reservoir.
'The best method of attacking a
tank is to attack it from the rear, be-
cause it is not easy for it's crew to fire
from behind, and because the rear is
the part the least protected. Street
fighting against the tanks is very ia
shelter themselves in the houses, let
the tanks pass, then open fire with ma
chine guns and rifles from close range.
"Hand grenades, employed one at a
time, are useless. 1t is necessary to
employ a concentrated charge (several
cylinders grouped around central
grenade), and throw it under the tank /;
but this is not easy to do.
Light trench cannon (minenwerfer)
are efficacious when they are fired
from feeble angle; good results
have been obtained by the fire of iso-
lated pieces.
"In general, the tactics to employ
against the tanks must be made the OBJ
ject of theories and practical expert
ences; the tanks will thus lose their
terrifying effect"
