merchants in cotton and yarns, in Philadelphia. Upon his fathers re- tirement from business, the firm name was changed to Franklin D'Olfer & Go.
 Mr. D'Olier entered the military service Of the United States in April, 1917, as captain in the quartermas- ter corps. After a few weeks service at the Philadelphia depot and several months at Boston he was ordered to France in August, 1917. Owing to great scarcity of tonnage at that time and the necessity for salving material on a large scale, MT. D'Olier was as- signed to the newly organized salvage service, and in January 1918, took con- mand of the first salvage depot that was operated by the American army. Within six months the work had grown so rapidly that the personnel increased from 12 to 5000, and this depot was salvaging for about 750,000 men, and was larger than any depot operated by either the British or French armies. This depot was at St. Pierre des Corps near Tours, France, the headquarters of the service of supply.
 In July, 1918, Captain D'Olier was ordered to Lyons, France, to organize the second large depot, which at the time of the armistice had capacity of taking care of salvaging for upward of million and a half men. He was promoted to the rank of major, and then lieutenant colonel, and assigned to the general staff, and after two years service in the army, 20 months of which was in the A. E. F., was discharged from the service in ~oril, 1919.
 MT. D'Olier was one of the original % men who initiated the American Legion in France, February l5, 1919, and attended the Paris caucus or the American Legion on March lo, 1913. After his discharge from the serVlce MT. DOlier joined Theodore Roosevelt, who was at that time-early in 19l9- perfecting the preliminary organ1za- tion of the American Legion in the United States preparatory to the st' Louis caucus, May 8, 9 and 10.

to Washington in 1904 and graduated from the University of Washington Law school. :, From 1907 to 1915 he was em-s ployed by the First National bank of North Yakima and was assistant ad- justant general of the state of Wash ington from June, 1916, to September, 1917.
 Mr. BoIles served in all grades in Company E, 2nd infantry, of the Wash ington National Guard from Septem- Der, 1904, to 1914, and commanded that company from 1911 to 1914. He was called into federal service with the Washington National Guard in Sep tember, 1917 and joined the 41st divi sion at Camp Greene, N. C., with which division he went overseas in Decem- Der, 1917, and served as lieutenant colonel on the general staff of the First corps from May 1, 1918, to March 3, 1919.
 On his return to the United States in July, 1919, he was discharged from the service, and was requested by the national executive committee to assist in the organizat ton of the American Legion in the preparation for the Min neapOlis convention on the staff at na tional headquarters. Mir. BOlles was one of the original delegates to the Paris caucus of the American Legion last March.

TRUNK Tine ROADS.
NOT TOASK RAISES
Freight and Passenger
Schedules Likely to Remain.
September Data.

Trunk line railroads of the United
States are not planning to go before
the Interstate Commerce Commiss ssion
with new schedules providing for a
general increase in freight and pas
senger rates. it was learned authori-
tatively today. Preliminary figures
showing earnings of 207 roads in the
country in September. announced to-
day by the Association OF Railway Ex.
ccutives. while showing tia: the roads
did not come within approximately
S39.000,000 of their expected income un-
der the new rates granted August IS,
are not held to be indicative Of the net
earnings of the roads for year. be-
cause of the fact that much of the
freight on which the September earn
ings were based left it's point of origin
before the rate raise became effective.
What volume of freight was affected
by this lapse of time could not be ac-
curately told today. but it was surmised
il would run up to $4,000, 600. Another
factor which, it was stated, would not
tend to make the September earnings
figure true average for the twelfth
part OF the year was that several state
utility commissions refused to grant
the rate increases on intrastate traffic
and the old rate was still effective when
freight moved within the state limits.
More Accurate Measure.
Railroad officials today expressed
the belief that earnings for October
or for both that month and November
would be a more accurate measure of
the true value to the railroads of the
rate increase authorized by the In
fective August 26. 1t is not claimed
by the railroads that earnings for the
three months period ending with No
vember will show a net earning ca
pacity below the per cent on the
provisional valua ton of approximately
$4,000, 100000. on which the commits
sion based its recent increase.
AT the same time it was pointed out
that September earnings should show
a relatively high average, probably
as high as 10 per cent. because rail-
road officials estimate 10 per cent of
the freight traffic moves during that
month. the heavy movement of fall
crops and coal taking place during
September and the early weeks Of
October. Peak of the car movement
was reached during the week ended
october 23 when the grain movement
in the west and middle west was at
its height. Since that time the car
movement has been steadily decreas-
ing, and 1t is said latest reports will
show movement Of only about 910,-
600 loaded cars during the week ended
November 6.
Estimate for October.
1t was estimated today that earnings
for October would be about $1lO. .000.-
600 and that early forecasts would
be correct in this amount. At the
same time. railroad officials did not
believe the slump in business has yet
had retarding effect on their freig
traffic. Such slump may make its
appearance later. but has not shown
itself at present. it was said.
Laying of of men in the shope of the
Pennsylvania and the New York Cen
trail is only seasonal habit, officials
said. and no indication as to the vol
ume of freight or earnings of the
roads can be indicated by such cur
tailment Of forces.
