Washington, April 2i.-Steps look
ing to early determination Of the
governments authority under the joint
resolution OF congress by control OF
the railroads and telephone systems
of the country to fix intra-State

supreme court III agreeing to eN-
pedite consideration Of the test case
brought under the resolution. The
court fixed May for hearing argu-
ments and final decisions before the
court adjourns in June for summer
was considered probable by court OF
|f1cials.
Three cases in all will be argued
One is an appeal from South Dakota
supreme court DEGREES denying the
authority OF the postmaster to in
crease telephone toll rates. An ap-
peal from the North Dakota supreme
court denies the director general OF
railroads has power to increase freight
and passenger rates in that state and
enioins the Northern Pacific Railroad
from carrying out the director Sener-
ais orders. The third case is an ap-
peal fom Massachusetts upholdlng the
postmaster general and disnlissinS pro
ceedine.s Instituted by the State to
prevent the New England Telephone
K Telegraph Company from lncreas-
ing its rates Petitions seeking 10
have tne Massachusetts decision re-
viewed were granted today by the
court.
Government officials view the early
determinatin OF these cases as being
of vital Importance to the future op-

The court had planned to close
arguments for the term on May :, bat
owing to the Importance Of these cases
it was decided TO set aside the follow
ing Monday for the purpose of hear
ing arguments Officials declared Il
is a very extraordinary thing for The

for us t. go into this war with our

Now one word as to France. Mr..
Clark suggested that I enter upon
some description of the seer ). You
have been told Of them over y I'd oyer
again and I shall not detain you. But
France is riven and torn, not by war
but by the most malign and out
rageous savagery the world has ever
known. From their factories the
Germans took the bobbins and, de-
stroyed the machinery, not because
the bobbins or the machinery had
any war value but because it was
settled purpose to destroy the indus
trial life of France.
81 have in my possession the report
of the German commission which in.
1916 was sent to the occupied terri
tory of France. The commission took
/ industry by industry and outlines
after careful survey, what the de-
struction had been and wound up by
saying: If they ever want to restore
these it will take them two or three
years to do it and then they have to
come. whether they like it or not, to
Germany to buy the machinery,
Now that I have been through
that country I have not the eloquence
to give you the impression it made on
my soul as l rode along the road be-
tween the Belleau woods and Rheims
where the fields were dotted with lit
tie pine crosses and on them a phrase

cation mark but a Soldier of France

1t was heart rending to see a cart
with a horse and family, mother
and two or three children and the
father, driving along the road and
few little articles Of furniture of the
cheapest kind, going back to their war
torn town; to go through a village
that had done do harm to any one
and to look out and see the facade Of
a little two story building torn away

declining to import American ma

They can not do it now. It would
ruin their exchanges. The cost of liv-,
ing would go up so high that they
could not stand it. The only hope, the:
only solution for the condition of:

manufacturers.
But YOU say, How can that be
done? That involves millions of mon.

stand The answer is this:
They can give short time bills Of

can be renewed for two or three
