R. R. FREIGHT
RATES RAISED
rs PER CENT
BEGIN JUNE 5
Tremendous Increase in Cost Of Iiy-
ing Forecast by Proclamation Of
Secretary McAdOO This Morning;
Passenger Rates Raised, Effective
on June ).
N'.S.S.-
GBy Associated Press)

Washington, May 27.-Secretary OF
the Treasury McAdoos this morning
ordered freight rates raised twenty
five percent and passenger fares in
creased to three cents mile to NEE
railroad wage increases and the high
cost of coal and other supplies.
1t is estimated that the increase o
rates will yield more than 8OO,OOO,-
900 more revenues within the next
year and is the biggest rate increase
in the history of the railroads. The
new passenger rates will be effective
June 10 and the new freight rates on
June 25. The order affects both class
and commodity rates. Mileage, con-
vention and tourist rates are, with
few exceptions, abolished. Excess
baggage charges are increased Pro-
portionate increases will be made in
rates on lake. river and coastwise boat
lines operated by the railroads.
Export and import freight rates
are ordered cancelled. Increased do
mestic rates will apply to and from
ports. There will be number of
flat increases, instead of percentage
additions, ordered for coal, coke, lum-
ber, ore stone, grain, cotton, livestock,
meats, sugar, bullion and other COM
modtes. Existing differentials and
rate relationships between various To-
calities will be preserved as far as
possible Many readjustments may
be necessary later, and all rates will
be subject to review and correction by
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
Commissioner McAdoo explained that
no part of the increase was due to
the billion-Qollar program of improve
ment.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion today ordered the rates approve
without hearing and at the sam
time modified all outstanding order
Of the commission which might inter
fere with the establishment of the new
rates.
The order provides that interstate
rates shall be abolished wherever sub
stitute interstate rates between the
same points exist and that all shall be
raised to the Standard of the national
level. 1T develops the first definite
conflict between the federal admin
istrations and the state commissions
over jurisdiction. Commissioner Nc
Adoo said he believed no state com
mission could overrule the new rates.

Washington, May 80 (By maiD--
AS climax to atrocities in Belgium
the German military despots now hav
gone so far as to interfere with the
religious liberties of the civilian pop

how Bavarian soldiers summarily
halted religious service throughout

SURGEONS TAKE
PART IN RAID
-W.S.S.---

London, April 27 (By maiD-De-
tails of the British naval attack at
Zee brugge reveal that the medical
service performed its share of the haz-
ardous business with great courage
and efficiency.
Most of the casualties on the Vim
dictlve, the veteran cruiser which car
ried off the chief honors of the raid,
occurred before she got alongside the
mole, and these were promptly dealt
with, despite the darkness, the crowd
ed condition of the ship and flying
shot and shell. One of the surgeons
found himself working in an area
that had become flooded with petrol.
Fortunately it was not ignited.
In all, there were six surgeons on
the Vindictive. and when the molo
was reached several remained on
board tending the wounded, while the
remainder, with their stretcher BEAR
ers, jumped to the mole to look after
casualties expected there. With great
difficulty and under sharp fire they
superintended the removal of tho
wounded to the ship.

Their Rights.

When the Imperial committee con-
ferred with the Interior Department
officials at Washington recently, they
were told that the present contract
must either be signed or rejected by
June4 q There was a hint that the
War Department did not desire the
of the weir in the river
if Imperial Valley rejected the offer
of assistance rendered in the contract.
Saturday the District telegraphed a
plea to Secretary Lane to extend this
time for further consideration of the
contract. That the Yuma water u.s.
ers will raise protest over the ex-
tension of time is almost certain. All
speed, however, is being made by the
committee chosen by the mass meet
ing to revise the contract
In the matter of dealing with the
mesa lands, the District directors are
seeking to protect the interests of
future residents of the great Impe-
rial Valley in that region.
The members of the Imperial-La-
guna Water Company are seeking to
get a contract from the District which
will enable them to sell water stock
to entrymen on 250,000 acres of land,
which will comprise the largest and
most valuable body of irrigable land
opened in the United States. Whether
it is advisable to encourage the selling
of stock on lands many years in ad-
vance of the getting of water for the
lands is question which the District
is aiming to solve.

Washington, May 27.-As German
cannon heralded the 1anewed western
offensive, the president appeared un
,expectedly before Congress and de-
manded the laying aside of political
considerations and that it remain IN
session until it had enacted new reve-
nue. laws to finance the growing cost
of the war. At the conclusion of his
prepared address the president laid
his hand of his manuscript and estal-
lished another precedent in his deal
ings with Congress by addressing the
assemblage extemporaneously. He
spoke earnestly and forcefully and
his auditors sat in rapt silence. be
said he had learned just as he left
the White House that the expected
German drive had apparently just be-
gun.

Congress rose and cheered loudly wher
the president declared that hundreds
of thousands of American troops

the front, with regiment after regi
