RAIL RATES GENERALLY
WILL NOT Be AFFECTED
I. G. c. Decision Governs Only
Lumber Tariffs, According to
Administration Officials.

Railroad administration officials to-
day said that rate questions gen.
orally were in nowise affected by the
decision of the Interstate Commerce
Commission yesterday ordering re-
vision of certain lumber tariffs and
reasserting the commissions right to
upset rates prescribed by the di-
rector general. 1t was pointed out
that the law specifically gave the
commission the power of review, and
that in another lumber decision by
Commissioner McChord, announced
October a last, the commission as
serted its authority to alter rates
initiated by the director general, even
without affirmative showing that they
were wrong.
Chief interest in yesterdays de-
cision, which declared unreasonable
and ordered revised rates on lumber
from Eureka, Cal, and other points
to points eastward. lies in the lam
guage of the opinion written by
Commissioner Aitchison. recognizing
the signing OF the arnistice as end
ing the var and marking the passing
of the necessity OF taking war con-
ditiops under consideration in the
making of rates

Pittsburgh Men Virtually Sent
to Slaughter, Senator
Penrose Asserts.

Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania
made the charge today on the floor
of the Senate that Pittsburgh SOL
diers had been sent over the top and
into battle when they had never had
a gun in their hands until the morn
ing of the day they were thus dis
patched to slaughter. He added with
some bitterness that when the Pitts

they will demand to know who was
responsible for conditions which sent
them into battle where three Anleri-
cans were killed to every German
who fell.
Senator Penroses remarks were IN
reply to the intimation made by Sen
ator Hollis of New Hampshire that
proposed republican investigation
in the nature of poison gas. Senator
Penrose demanded to know whether
the exposures in the gigantic air craft
scandal where the misuse of $780,
coo 500 was disclosed, where in the ma
ture of poison gas; whether the dis
closure in the Hog Island shipyard
case. OF the mysterious disc . Y

IN this ro:nt the opin.on said:

On this Point the opinion said:
IF under the doctrine of judicial
notice we are to consider matters
generally known within our jurisdic-
ton as evidence we mus, consider
the contemporaneous effect of war
upon general conditions. We must
notice that. as stated by the Presi-
dent to the Congress with the signing
of the armistice. The war thus comes
to an end We notice that with sud
denness and as OF one accord the ma
ton has turned from the active wag-
ing Of war to the demobilization of
military forces and the return OF in
dustries to their accustomed channels.
No more than is necessary should war
conditions be permitted to deprive
any individual or locality of that
equality of opportunity in respect TO
transportation which is insured alike
by our fundamental economic policy
and by the law"

JugosIav Troops, 100000
Strong, Mobilize in Vicinity
of Army of Occupation.
GATHER ABOUT LAiBACH

With more than 100000 fully armed
and well equipped Jugoslav troops,
quietly modified about Laibach, there
is hourly danger of an outbreak against
the Italian armies of occupation in
Gorilla, Trieste and Fiume, according
to unofficial diplomatic dispatches just
received in Washington.
Effort is being made by interested
persons here to gain further details
and exact confirmation of these re-
ports through cabled inquiries to
Paris.
Both the Serbian and the Jugoslav
press bureaus here have recent Off
cial dispa tches stating that feeling is
running high iii va-'o''s re"'o-T.
claimed by the Jugoslavs. where
1t.,.....s for es now az loned aud
these are of local character. whereas
the activity of the large army now re-
ported to be gathered at Laibach
would be on a far larger scale.
Army Drawn From Three Sources.
A part of the force now assembled
at Laibach is composed of Jugoslav
divisions which forsook Austria to
fight in the Russian army. Some of the
divisions saw service in the cam
paign against Bulgaria, and a third
portion consists of Austrian troops
which did not lay down their arms
when the armistice was signed. but
siav provisional government at Tag
reb, and maintained their full military
status.
Behind the presence Of the Jugoslav
forces which came from Russia lies a
story that resembles the famous march
across Russia and Siberia of the
Czechoslavs. To go back to the begin
ming of the story, it will be recalled
that about $4,000 Jugoslavs deserted
the Austrians while the car still was
on the Russian throne. and this division
was nearly annihilated at Dabruja in
the battle against Gen. Mackensen's
troops. Two more Jugoslav divisions
were formed at a camp near Odessa.
and the cars pro-Gern1an military
leaders kept them there. When keren-
sky came into power they again tried
to get to the front and did not sue
coed. Then followed the bolsheviki
regime, and the Jugoslav, who had
been commanded by Gen. Ziykovic of
the Serbian army. and differed largely
by former Austrians, succeeded in re-
tanning their equipment and munitions.
through the aid of the British and
French governments, and they went to
England and France by way of
ArchangeI.
Thence they were sent by way OF the
Mediterranean to the Saloniki front,
and became the Jugoslav divisions of
the Serbian army. Their number was
augmented by about 1900 more Jugo-
slavs, who suddenly appeared at the
Suez canal, after getting out of Rus
STA by way of Siberia and the Indian
5000 was composed of JUgoslavs re-
cruited in the United States.

Reason for Hostile Attitude.

One explanation given about the
hostility exhibited toward the Italians
is said to be the fear that the Ital-
ians are supporting King Nicholas,
VINO recently was deposed by Mont
tenegrin nat .onal assembly, which
voted to join the country with the
Jugoslav nation under the leadership
of Serbia. This fear is caused in part,
It Is believed here, because Queen
Helena. or Elena of Italy is the third
daughter OF King Nicholas
Montegrins themselves are sharply
divided into factions supporting Mich
olas and those supporting the new
national assembly. The second group
fears the ambitions of Nicholas NAV
be menace to the new Jygoslav state,
and they desire to enter the new ma
ton after affiliating with Serbia. King
Nicholas would have Montenegro en-
ter as state independent of any spe-
clal Serbian utilization.

In Drive Against Bulgaria.

Thereupon the Jugoslav divisions
numbering about $4,000 or 10000, took
part in the drive against Bulgaria and
carried Kodak, principal Bulgarian
stronghold.
After that little mas been heard of
these Jugoslav troops until the dis
patches just received here report that
at least 10000 of them moved from
Croatia up to Laibach and there are
awaiting an opportunity to strike at
the Italians. These men are fully
armed and ready for battle, as are the
former Austrian troops that have
sworn allegiance to the new Jugo-
siavia.

Mr.. West was asked regarding these
gratifying results, ne Saiu lie oiis
actual result of which he had per-
sonai observation was the defeat OF
four socialist candidates in New York.
The league, however, he said, had re-
ceived very many newspaper clippings
from all parts of the country COM
menting upon the educational work
which it was carrying forward.
He also testified today that he had
been employed by sixty men in Wash
ington at a salary of 800 week to
work in behalf of the half
principle of financing the National
Capital.
This statement was elected from Mr..
West today by Representative Brown
of Wisconsin.
