REDS CLAIM VICTORY
Say They Have Captured Perm
from Loyal Russians.
Report, II True, VIII Be Serious Set
back to Northern Wing of KoI.
chalk Army.

London. July 4.-The capture of the
city OF Perm from the forces of the
kolchak government is claimed by the
bolsheviki in a wireless dispatch from
Russia received here today.
The loss OF Perm to the bolsheviki.
II confirmed, will be a serious setback
to the northern wing of the Kolchak
forces operating west of the Urais.
Perm was the startintg point of the
kolchak offensive last spring. Early
In June the Kolchak forces captured
Glazov, 140 miles west of Perm, but
recently was compelled to retire on
this front. Perm Is 210 miles north OF
Ufa, the base of the southern wing of
the Omsk government force which was
captured by the bolsheviki June 70.
II the Siberian forces have lost Perm
they will have only one important base
west OF the Urals. Ekaterinburg.
The bolsheviki seemingly are carry
ing out an offensive on their eastern
front against the Kolchak troops while
retiring In southern Russia before the
nonbolshevik forces there. The boil
hevik strategy apparently has been
to strike hard on one front, while re-
firing on another. and then to swing
their offensive suddenly to another
front.

DEPENDS ON GERMANY
Powers Will Raise the Blockade
When Berlin Ratifies.
Decision Means All Nations Can Re-
sumo Trade Relations on an
Equal Footing.

Washington, July 1.-The superior
blockade council has been instructed
to be prepared to raise the economic
blockade of Germany Immediately up
on ratification by the German National
Assembly of the Peace Treaty.
The action, officials here explained,
that upon Germany's ratifica-
ton of the treaty all restrictions upon
trade with Germany may be removed.
Without requiring individual ratiica-
tion by the Allied and associated pow
ers, all of these nations may have an
equal start in the race for German
trade.
Raising of the blockade without
awaiting individual ratification was
said by officials to mean more to the
United States than any other nation
because final approval Of the treaty
owing to governmental machinery
probably will require longer here than
in the other countries.
One result or the decision If car
ried out will be to give the senate un-
limited time for consideration of the
treaty.
The resolution recently introduced
by Senator Fall, Republican, New
Mexico, to declare the war at an end
was designed to enable the United
States to-begin business relations with
the Germans and to relieve the senate
of a pressure that might be brought
to bear by business interests.

Charles A. Prouty Favors Certain
Degree of Federal Control
for One Year.
LARGE DEFICIT
Former Member of Interstate Com.
merce Commission Estimates Rail-
ways viii Run Behind From
100000 to ssoo,ooo,ooo

Washington, July A letter has
been addressed to several congress-
men by Charles A. Prouty, former
member of the Interstate commerce
commission and now director of the
division of accounting of the railroad
administration.
He declares the railroads should be
but the government should retain a
certain degree of control for another
year while the financial relations be-
tween the railroads and the govern
ment are being adjusted.
He estimated the deficit for this
year, if the first three months be TAX
en- as an index, will be from $500, 00O,-
600 to $500, 000, 900. He puts forth the
following suggestions:
Rates to be fixed by the interstate
commerce commission. Such rates to
be absolute. with no right upon the
part of the carrier to vary up or down.
Fixing of Divisions.
State rates to be fixed by the in
terstate commerce commission in col
liberation with the state commission,
or perhaps by the state commission
with the right of appeal to the inter-
state commerce commission.
The interstate commerce commits
sion shall have power to fix divisions
and also to approve agreements for
the routing of traffic and the division
of earnings from competitive traffic,
but not until after full hearing upon
notice to all interested parties, includ-
ing the general public.
The railroads should be self sup
porting. To this end congress should
instruct the interstate commerce com
mission to establish such reasonable
rates as will yield a fair return upon
the value for the rate making pur-
poses which it establishes.
Return Not Prescribed.
The amount of this return ought
not to be prescribed. In the nature
of things, it cannot be the same upon
the value of all carriers. The rates
should produce an adequate return
upon the average value affected by
them.
The value upon which this return
should be allowed is that value the
commission is now fixing under the
valuation act of 1913.
Congress should provide that no
carrier shall pay to its security hold
ers out of it's net operating income in
any year more than a certain per cent
upon the ratemaking value fixed by
the commission.
The carrier should be allowed to
pay to the owner Of its securities
which represent its carrier property.
say 6 per cen upon its 'ratemaking
value as determined by the commits
