BELG|UM'S RAIL
DAMAGE BILLION
Commission Put This Estimate
on Destruction of Lines and !
Bridges Done by Germans.
FOE RUINED $50 MILES.
Supreme Council Names Special Com
mission to Adjudge Belgian Losses.
: Destruction Wrought Most
= Y Iy in 1918.

Paris. - The supreme council ap-
pointed q special committee to study
the claims of Belgium for an indemni-
ty. The American members Of the
committee are Charles H. Haskins and
Colonel S. D. Embick.
The Belgian commission which is in
vestigating the damage done by the
Germans to railroads in occupied ter
! ritory, while 1t has not yet finished it's
work, is in position to give interest
| ing figures relative to the destruction
! caused by the Germans.
~ The figures show that nearly $50
miles Of railroad tracks were destroyed
, and nearly 260 miles made useless out
Of a total mileage of approximately
1900 in Belgium. These distinctions
mostly were in the Mons coal valley in
the region, Of Journal and around
Ghent, Bruges, Ostend and Courtrai
Seventy per cent of the destruction
was carried out during the period from
the start of the Belgian offensive on
September 29, 1918, and the signing of
the armistice.
The Germans appropriated 2,614 To-
comotives out Of total Of 1854, or
about 81 per cent; 9,062 passenger
coaches out of a total of 1882, or 93
per cent, and SO,56S freight cars out Of
total of 94,737, or SO per cent.
The block signal system in Belgium
was destroyed and replaced by Ger
man. system, with which the Belgian
locomotive engineers are not acquaint-
ed. 1t will have to be removed and the
Belgian system again installed. The
commission Is not able to make public
yet the number of bridges or stations
destroyed.
All the bridges leading in and out Of
Ostend and Bruges have been Destroy
ed and virtually all In West Flanders,
as well as those over the Meuse at
Liege, Namur, Huy, Dinant and Ense-
remme. Eight bridges over the Ghent-
Terneuzen canal were blown up.
Two Of the bridges at Salzaete, near
the Dutch frontier, weighed 100000
pounds each. 1t is estimated by the
commission that more than 100,000,000
pounds of steel will be required to re-
build the bridges in Flanders alone.
The commission estimates the dam
age to railroad material, tracks,
bridges and other equipment at more
than S1,000000,000.

tion of the principles upon which rests

the donor, as it does, in actual need
of the bare necessities of life, this
practice in considered as an evidence
of his greatness. In many instances
the giver sacrifices the accumulation
of lifetime.
Such acts may be attributed more
to vanity than to any real desire
to give pleasure to others. 1t is well
known by those who have lived
among Indians that any unusual
kindness or gift Injuries rather than
aids the benefactor. The Indian will
consider the gift only as a true evil
dence Of his worth, and not to any
generosity on the part of the giyer-
a trait not altogether foreign to
more civilized peoples.
Personal adornment is more
coveted than anything else, although
it is an Indians nature to want to
possess about everything he sees.
And he is very likely to ask if one
has duplicate, quite equivalent to
asking for the only one you have.

GRANTS INCREASED RATES
TO PUBLIC UTILITIES
Georgia Railroad Commission
Reports on It's Action In
Utility Cases.

Atlanta, Ga.-The following is ar
extract from the annual report of the
Georgia railroad commission and deals
with the rates of the public utilities
of that state:
I'm its last report the commits
sion made mention of the effect
of conditions arising out of the
war upon the rate problems Of
the various local utilities serving
the public.
These conditions became ag-
gravated during 1918, resulting in
still higher operating expenses
for the utilities, so that under ex-
listing rates, in scores of instances,
it became impossible for the utili-
ty to make both ends meet
"These conditions resulted in q
large number of applications to
the commission for increases in
rates. Each of these applications
was carefully investigated. Prac-
tically all were granted in whole
or in part.
THE conditions necessitating
these grants, mainly MUCH higher
cost levels of labor and materi-
ais, have been in the main, fairly
and considerably recognized by
the public, and there has been no
general or unreasonable opposi-
ton upon the part of the public
to the relief granted.
with one or two exceptions,
the local public have realized that
good service is essential to their
convenience and welfare; that
such service cannot be perma
nently rendered without fair and
reasonable rates and that the cost
\ of rendition is in q large degree
dependent upon wage scales and
the prices of materials and sup
plies beyond the control of the
utilities. 1t is the definite, de-
clared purpose of the commission
to closely observe the trend of
cost items and to revise rate
charges and Scales where tn n
have been increased, as soon as
conditions justify"
