FIGHT FOR HIGHER MILEAGE
Soldiers May Secure Rate of 5 In
stead of ~, Cents.

Washington, May S.-War depart.
ment heads were under order of the
district supreme court to show why
discharged soldiers should not be al
lowed mileage home at the rate of
5 cents per mile instead of 3h.
Issuance OF the order by Chief JUS
tice Mccoy was the first victory for
the private soldiers and sailors legion
in its fight to force the government to
pay the men about $40,000,0O0 addi-
tional allowance. The last Congress
authorized payment of five cents a
mile to discharged soldiers and sail
ors.
The War department said Saturday
1t intended to pay this difference as
rapidly as possible.

Force to Leave France.
Washington, May S.-Secretary Bak-
er announces that by August the last
man Of the American expeditionary
forces would have been withdrawn
from France. He said this estimate

RAIL EARNINGS
Leave DEFICIT
Government Loses $192, 600, 900
During the First Three
Months of 1919.
TRAFFIC FALLING OFF
Director General Will Not increase
Freight Rates, Preferring to Wait
Restoration of Normal Busi-
ness Conditions.

Washington, May SIN a discus.
sion of recent railroad earnings, Direc.
tor General Hines disclosed that:
"The governments deficit in operat-
ing the railroads for the first three
months this year, or the difference be-
tween net earning ana one-fourth Of
the guaranteed annual compensation,
was about $192,OOO.OOO for all roads
under federal management.
The governments loss of 1918 was
1925, 100000.
The government loss incurred in Is
months of federal operation was $418,-
100000.
Freight Fall OF Blamed.
Marked reduction of freign traffic
under records of similar periods of the
last two years were responsible for
the bad financial showing, and condi
tions in April, though not yet reported
fully, show no promise of improve
ment.
Despite the deficits, the Director
General does not contemplate, any gen
eral increase in the level OF rates, but
prefers to wait restoration of normal
business conditions.
The government also incurred a de
felt of about $14,540,000 in eight
months operation of the American
Railway Express company and Con
solidated Express corporation up t.
March I, 1919.
"No Basis for Revise Now"
"The present unfavorable result,
naturally lead to agitation of tn,
question whether there ought to be al
increase of rates." said Mr.. Hines.
My own judgment is that the pres
ent conditions are too abnormal II
serve as basis for any change in tn,
level of rates and that 1t is preferabl,
to defer action on that subject unit
there shall have been a fuller oppor
tu-ity to get more reliable and pos
sibly a more normal measure Of th,
conditions, meanwhile resorting Il
/ every practicable economy, studyinl
the situation with the greatest care
and keeping the public fully informe,
as to developments"

The tide carried him out TO sea again.
AS night came on the wind increased
and the waves tossed him and his

hours he drlfted In, but Just ms his

Something brushed against his leg.
He thought that It was shark and
screamed In fear. "It did not touch
me, or | should have gone mad" he
said. The water was cold. the night
was dark and the rain beat down on
him. He heard cry In the darkness,

When daylight came they could see

Night came again. Soon after dark
they saw the lights of breakwater,
and with new hopes noticed that the

They were being washed toward the

his last strength in trying to reach

able to get to him In time and picked
him out Of the water. There was not
much of the man left, and shrieking
for water, he collapsed in the bottom
of the boat.
