cal because the most productive food

ing down communists who have fed
to the country from Budapest, 1t be-
ing alleged that they are melted in
this work by Rumanians. Moving
courts are touring the provinces and
trying communists. An appeal has
been posted all over Hungary calling
upon peasants to arrest communists
who are charged with murder and
not permit them to reach Austria,
where they will be sheltered.
The Peidll cabinet Is still function
ing, but under the circumstances 1t is
said it can do but little. It IL still
hoped. according to report, that q
coalition Of socialists and the bour-
geoisie can be formed, but royalist
elerne nts under the leadership of for
mer Premier Michael Karolyi are
growing stronger and there are in
creasing demands for the reinstate-

Right to Initiate Rates.

The director general has also the
absolute right to initiate rates for
transportation and can advance or
lower them as he nay think neces-
sary or wise to meet t1e requirements
of, the transportation. systems in his
charge. and. moreover. ae can put the
n4w rates into effect whenever, in his
Judgment. they should become effec-
tive.
SAT the present time The Interstate
Commerce Commission has not the
authority to suspend ftr examination
OF approval the rates Initiated by the
director general: but even If the act
which lately passed the Senate and
which has not yet passed the House
shall become a law and the author
1ty of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to suspend rsses be restored.
10 will still be true that the director
general must initiate the rates. and

that the commission would suspend
rates that are necessary in order to
ply any increased wages of railway

SdLUaging SUnken
Ships Paying JOB
BY United Press.

BY United Press.
London, May 16 -(By mail -
There is spice of adventure in the
salvaging of steamers sunk by Ger
man raiders. Round the British Isles,
in the Mediterranean and off the
Murman coast are rich fields for the
salvage service as well as private en-
terprise In the North sea the, water
is too deep to make any considerable
success but in shafower water not
only cargoes but ships are being
saved.
Some of the sunken vessels con
tain huge fortunes in gold or goods
One is known to have carried $5,0O0,-
600 in gold. The diver sent down TO
work on her borrowed the key tt
the ships strong box but it is not re
corded whether he retrieved the
gold.
Lifted by Wire Cradle.
If the divers after an investigation
decide to attempt to float the ship,
barges are moored over her at low
tide Nine inch wire ropes are then
passed under it and fastened to the
barges above. AS the tide rises the
barges rise with it, bringing the ship
along, as it lies in the great wire
cradle. The damaged ship is then
towed into shallow water and the
necessary repairs made.
In the case of vessels only partly
submerged, compressed air is some
times pumped into her hold, driving
out the water while the ship slowly
floats to the surface Occasionally II
is necessary where the hole Is not
too large, to make great patch
float it over the hole. and then fasten
it sufficiently tight in position until
the ship can be pumped out anc
floated.
One vessel was torpedoed in the
channel, but almost reached The
shore before it went down When
it finally sunk it was exposed at low
tide, and not so very far from a rail
road Heavy locomotives pulled the
vessel into a perpendicular position
and the vessel was finally refloated
Hopeless in Deep Water
While these salvage operation
have been remuneratively success
full, leaders in the industry declare
that it is next to impossible to save
a ship lying in water deeper than
| her masts, and that very many ship
lie in less than 200 feet of water
| Divers can operate with comparativ,
ease at that depth
Many sailors recently demobilize,
