OF secondary interest only to Cen

command of an army corps in France,
and, so we'll founded report has 1t.
will be given command of the first
field army now in process Of organ

Among army men there was no sur
prise when General Liggett was
placed in command Of an army corps.
Tradition has been busy with the per-
sonal.ty of this commander and a
phrase known throughout the army Is
''Liggett luck"
OF course. there is no such thing
as luck, theorists will say; but 1t can
not be gainsaid that ther IL such q
thing as being on hand when things
Happen. And General Liggett has
somehow managed to take part in
many moving circumstances.
Yet is was not until he had attained
the grade Of field officer that he
showed the stuff he was made Of
Before that time General Liggett was
giving all his time and energy to pre-
pairing himself for the higher grades.
It was close application to his tasks,
and when he came to wear the ma
jor's leaf-well, let the facts speak
for themselves.
Troops were being transported to
the Philippines to administer a dose
of American correction to some Of the
rebellious spirits in the new American
possessions.

THE VERY STUFF OF TRIUMPH

Perhaps the most inspiring record
that has reached this country from
abroad Is the report of a newspaper
0syespondent, Edwin L. James, whose
writings appear in the New York
Times.
Mr.. James is under no obligations
to observe the diplomatic niceties. He

INCREASE IN RAILROAD FARES.

Increase in passenger fares on all steam
railroads of the country, varying from 40
to 14O per cent adding millions of dollars
went into effect last Monday.
In general the new tariff calls for flat
fare for passengers on all roads through
out the country of three cents per mile in
coaches. Those who wish to enjoy the
luxury of riding in Pullmans-parlor or
sleeper-must pay an additional one-half
cent per mile.
Mileage books are sold on three-cents
per-mile basis. This means that such
books will be no financial saving to the
purchaser.
In addition to all fares paid on tneFlew
basis, the war tax of per cent will be
collected in every case.
Tickets from Belfast to Boston are now
$7.61 and other stations on thekline in the
same proportion.
