Excess Baggage Charges.

The basis for computing charges for
excess baggage is to be one-sixth of
the normal passenger fare, with
minimum of 10 cents per 100 pounds
and minimum collection of % cents
per shipment
The director general provides fully
for the redemption of tickets and mile
age books purchased before June 10
and rendered invalid after that date
when the higher fares become effec-
tive. Unused portions Of mileage books
and unused or partially used tickets
will he redeemed at their original pur-
chase rate.
The % per cent increase in freight
charges will apply generally to class
and commodity rates, but minor varia-
lions will be necessary in many cases.
For instance, where certain relation
ships exist between rival commercial
centers the % per cent increase will APP
ply to the longer distance and the rate
TO the nearer locality will be the same
number of cents less, as under pres
ent schedules. In this way charges
for many short hauls will be raised
more than % per cent.
100000 Get Wage Raise.
General pay increases for nearly
two million railroad employees were
announced by Director General Nc
! Adoo, effective June ] and retroactive
to last January /, carrying out substan-
tally recommendations of the railroad
wage commission. The aggregate of
the increases probably will be more
than S3O0,O00000 a year. half Of which
will be distributed within a few weeks
as back pay in lump sums ranging
from about 800 to nearly $500 each.
Scale of Increase.
Train employees, including members
of the leading brotherhoods, will re-
ceive approximately the following pro-
portional increases over 1915 pay, or
their equivalent when pay is based on
miles operated: Passenger engineers,
IL per cent; passenger firemen and
helpers, % per cent; passenger conduc-
tors, 10 per cent; passenger baggage
men, 3S>per cent passenger brakemen
and fagmen. 40 per cent: freight engi-
neers. 10 per cent; freight firemen. and
helpers. "a per cent; freight conduc-
tors, 20 per cent; freight brakemen
and flagmen. 40 per cent. These men
must aso deduct increases granted
since 1915.
Special rates of pay are provided for
office, messenger and chore boys. and
similar employees under eighteen
years, as follows: Twenty dollars In
crease month where the pay in De
cernber, 1915, was from $50 to $45 a
month; $50 increase where the rate
was from $40 TO $50 a month; $40 in
crease where the rate was less than

CROWN PRINCES ARMY coNTIN,
UES TO PUSH FORWARD SOUTH
OF FERE-EN-TARDEN
REPORT SAYS.
PARIS REMAINS CONFIDENT
AS LINES ARE STIFFENED
There Is Reason of Hope That the
Population of Chateau Thierry
Have Fled and Will
Be Saved.

Paris-The extreme point of the
German advance is LIE Charmed, about
two miles north of the river Marine,
according to an outline of the battle
front, as marked out by a newspaper
correspondent, the Havas Agency says.
The Germans continued to push for
ward south of Fere-en-Tardenois, &C
cording to the latest advices reaching
Paris, but neither Chateau Thierry
nor Dormans has yet fallen into their
hands.
There is reason to hope that Chat
eau Thierry, the population of which
has fed, will be saved.
Chateau Thierry is 10 miles south
of Fere-en-Tardenois, while DormaDS
is six miles south of Vezilly. Both
towns are on the river Marine.
The fighting front, it is declared,
runs as follows:
From Chavigny north of scissors it
describes a circle west of that city
and rejoins the river Crise north of
scissors. Then it goes to Berry, fol-
lows the SOissons-Chateau Thierry
road until near Hartennes, where it
bends southeast to Grand Rozoy.
Then on southwark leaving Mulchy-
le-Chateau, ii passes Nanteuil-Notre
Dame and advances toward the Marine
to Courcy, Barcy, Courpoil and lie
Charmed, which marks its extreme
southern point.
Through Vezilly, Broillet, Savigny
and Tihllois it runs northeastward to
the environs of Rheims.
The newspapers do not attempt to
minimize the Importance of the Ger
man advance. Gabriel Hanotaux in
the Figaro compares the strategic sit
uation with that on the eve of the bat
tie of the Marine.
Paris Still Confident.
All the commentators, however, ex-
press confidence that the high COM
mand will so dispose the allied troops
as to restore the situation which
L'Homme Libre considers to have
reached it's maximum point of gravity
Thursday The Petit Parisien says
the government officials who saw the
army chiefs Thursday returned in the
evening still confident which it regards
as a good sign.
1t is the resistance of the two wings
of the allied forces which inspires the
confidence of all the military critics.
To take victories advantage of the sue
cess they have so far gained, the Ger
mans must succeed in bending these
two hinges, and all their efforts to do
this up to this time have been vain.
Another reason for the confident
feeling is the arrival of allied reserves.
Besides the mention in the official re-
port of the beginning of Intervention
by these reserves, the Echo De Paris
in a dispatch from the front filed at
2 a. M Friday reports that the re-
serves are arriving on the battle
ground with artillery and auxiliary SER
vices.
Their entrance into action, the mes
sage reports, is being effected meth
odically, without any display of ner-
vousness.
