INCREASED FREIGHT RATE
Between NEARBY ROADS
I. C. C. Grants New Schedule Be-
tween Chesapeake Beach and
B. and o. Points.

Increased rates on class freight
from stations, on the Chesapeake
Beach railroad to Baltimore and Ohio
railroad stations at Washington, Bal
timore and Hyattsville. Nd. via Ches-
apeake Junction, D. c., have been
granted by the Interstate Commerce
Commission on petition Of the pri-
vately owned and operated road.
In its petition for increased class
rates it is stated that the average
net operating income Of the Chesa-
peake Beach Railroad Company for
1918 was $4.692.76. The road, the Pc
tition says, has never paid the inter-
est on its first mortgage bonds, with
. par value of $1.000,000 and has, of
course, never earned or paid dividends
on its capital stock" Gross freight
revenue of the company for the past
several years has averaged $4,000
per year.
Increases in the cost of material
and of labor. in some cases as high
as 40 per cent. adding about $4,000
to the years operating expenses, are
given as the reason for the increased
rates. The increase in operating ex-
penses for the current year aggre-
gates $28.000. leaving an actual def
cit for 1918 of about $4,000, based
on the same revenue as accrued dur
ing the three years ending June 30.
1917. w.
The approval given by the commits
sion to Increased rates is void ~ The
echedule issued is not filed with the
commission within six months, unless
extension is granted by the commits
sion.

Dumb Animals.

l contemplate the poor dumb
creatures, whose lives are shy of
pleasant features. They are not
learned, they are not clever;
they eat and drink and sleep for
ever, and have no sane and high
ambition to reach a loftier con-
dition. Their hopeless state 1
can't help seeing! Pm glad l am
a human being. Pm glad I am a
human critter, though life is
often hard and bitter, though
gladness wanes and sorrow
wakes and l am stuck for in
come taxes. Though troubles
come and hopes are phony, I'd
hate to be a Shetland pony.
Though | am deaf and growing
deafer, I'd hate to be a Here
ford heifer. And though a
gloomy weird I'm dreeing, I'm
glad l am a human being. We
long for happiness unbroken !;
that sort of wish is often
spoken; but if life handed us no
bittels, we'd be just like the
poor dumb critters, which have
no dreams of high endeavor,
but eat and sleep and drink for
over. l have my cares, I'm
doubling, fearing, I'm stung by
merchants profteering; and
though from griefs I'm always
fleeing, I'm glad l am a human
being. WALT MASON.

BERLIN FOREIGN OFFICE
TO BEGIN WORK SOON
New System Will Give Control of
One Country's Relations to
One Person.

BERLIN. August 1(Correspondence OF
the Associated Press). - Reorganiza-
ton of the foreign office will begin
soon. but it cannot be expected tn
move very swiftly, since the new
corners must take some time to he
come acquainted with their new
work, says the Deutsche Alleemeine
Zeitung. Already one new minister
an undersecretary. political di.
rector and personal reporter have
undertaken their new duties at the
foreign Office
The system will be altered so that
one individual will control all reIa-
lions with one given country, where
as now political, commercial and new
relations Were handled Separately
There are about fifty diplomatic posts
TO be filled, besides countless ieea-
ton and consular positions.
The rank which diplomats abroad
will take is still uncertain. and N is
considered probable that many coun-
tries will appoint charges d'affaires
an example which Germany must fol.
low.
The Allgemeine says that the gen.
eral commissary at Versailles, Direc-
tor Simons. after leaving the state
service, will become business director
of the Imperial Association of Ger
man Industry.
