Hines Browns on
 Rate Increase Plan

Duluth, Minn., Oct. H.-Walter D. Hines, director-general of railroads, tonight made answer to suggestion of railway executives recently made, that rates be increased during fed eral control to meet increased ex- penses during that control, by declar- ing that there is nothing to indicate that increased expenses under the government control are anything more than they would have been un- der private control or more than all forms of industry under private con- trol have undergone by reason of war.
 He said fundamentally wrong conception is involved in the claim of the railway executives.
 MT. Hines also stated that the ad- ministration is preparing to hand the roads back to their owners on the last day of this year and that at that, time his judgment is that the physical conditions of the properties will com- pare favprably" with their condition when they were taken over by the government on December 31, 1917. :.

ZOla's Translator
 Found in Poverty

London, Sept. 17.-Ernest Vizetel- ly, who made the name of Emile Zola known, in England through his con- prehensive translation of that French authors works, and who for many years occupied high position in the London literary world, was today an inmate of the sick ward in a North London workhouse. Discovery of his impoverished, condition immediately set on foot a movement to have his troubles taken before the prime minister in the hope that his name will be placed on the pension list.
 For seven years MT. Vizetally. who is now 66 years old, has been lodging in Canonbury where he was engaged last winter in writing his latest book, Paris and her People," He became i'll, and fell behind. Eventually he was faced with the necessity of walking out into the street with nowhere to lay his head.

Scars of Battle
 Still Are to Be
 Seen Along Yser

Dixmude, Belgium, Oct. 17.-Lin- ing the banks of the Yser river, far as the eye can see, are the trenches which for so many months during the war were occupied by the Belgian and German armies, the Belgians on the south bank and the Germans on the north. They still bear many marks of shell and rifle fire, and mouldy straw lying on the damp floors still convey some idea of the hardships to which the soldiers were subjected.
 On the German side of the river is 8 dugout, built to resist the heaviest projectiles, and cool even on hot day. It was a favorite gathering spot for the Germans when the fighting was fiercest, but now serves the more useful purpose of refrigerator. h. stead of the hunks and chairs which once lined it's sides one now sees pile upon pile of beer cases, filled with re- freshment for the soldier guard at work cleaning up the ground.
 Behind the dugout, the bodies of three soldiers-two Belgians and one German-were buried on the bank of tiny pond, made by bursting shells. Little crosses marking the resting places and over them poppies nod.
 Along the Yser one may plainly see the effects of the hard fought strug- gle. Here and there the top of a dugout has been crushed in, and fur ther along the duckboards from an abandoned trench may be seen stick ing through the mud Within sight of the bridge, the muzzle of field piece, rusted and useless, points to the sky.
 Much of the debris of the battle field has already been collected. Miles upon miles of barbed wire have been reclaimed from the entanglements, German and allied, which stretched in front of the lines but at some points along the river bank the old entanglements still remain, rusted and twisted on stakes which are fast fall ing to the ground. There are great piles of reeled wire which has not been unwound since it left the wire mills, while the military telephone systems are still stretched upon short stakes.
 The people of Dixmdue, like the people of every other destroyed Bel gian town, are gradually returning to the ruins of their homes. The help being given them by the gov ernment is giving them heart and strength to begin life over again. Here one may see man patching up a shell hole in his house with a few bricks taken from the ruins of his neighbours home, and in another place men, and women too, are patching a roof.
 But these instances are few. In most cases the destruction was so complete that nothing is left for the poor Belgian but to build new house.
 But the people are happy and cheerful. They go about their work with smiling faces and merry laugh ter, They are back home.

 He was an all-round sportsman and an excellent boxer. Once when young man he had an argument with a cabman. "I'll fight you for the fare," his lordship proposed.
