RAILROADS.&C.
STATE RAISES
Movement Launched to Secure
Same Increases As Granted
by U. S. Commission.

a movement to secure railroad
rate increases from State authorities
of the same percentage as those grant
ed on saturday by the Interstate Com
merce Commission, was launched here
today.
Walter A. shaw, of the National As.
sociation of Railroad and Public Util'
ity Commissioners, announced that
State commissioners who sat with the
Interstate Commerce Commission dur
ing its consideration Of rate Increases
have announced their approval OF the
increases granted and have urged that
similar increases be granted by state
commissions to become effective on
Septembo< 1. A letter to this effect,
signed by w. ID. b. Amy of Pcnnsyl-
vania, Royal c. Dunn of Florida, and
John A. Guiher OF Iowa, public utility
commissioners, was made public by
Shaw.
Railroad executives are expected TO
file applications for rate increases In
Interstate rates with state commits
sions during the present week. These
applications are now being prepared
and il Is expected by the railway ex-
ecutives that the increases will be
granted. Should any State commits
sion refuse to authorize them, how
ever, the carrieds will proceed under
the transportation act and ask hear
ing before the Interstate Commerce
Commission to determine whether the
existing intrastate States rates are
discriminatory or prejudicial to inter-
state commerce.
1t was pointed out that three repre-
sentatives OF state commissions sat
with tho Federal commission during
the public hearings on the applica-
tion of the carriers. They VIII make
reports to the state commissions and
II Is believed their opinions VIII have
weight with the State bodies.
q Since the Increases In passenger
Pullman, excess baggage, and milk
rates were made general for the en-
tire country by theFederal comm ssion
the railroads will ask for correspond
ing increases in each state. The per.
centages OF advances in intrastato
freight rates which the roads Will re-
quest, however, Will correspond TO the
percentage authorized in tho territory

Reds Prove Too Strong for
Volunteer Unit Helping
Defend Warsaw.
by FLOYD MACGRIFF.
InternationaI News Service.

LONDON. Aug. 2.-The entire Kos
ciusko escadrille, made up of Ameri-
can aviators nghting with the Polish
army. has been fncapacitated in try
ing to stem the Russian drive on
Warsaw, 1t was announced today by
Capt. George Kelly, of Richmond
Va, member, who is now in Lon
don on a courier mission for the Pol
ish government.
while none of the members has
been killed since Edmund Graves, OF
Cambridge, Mass, was shot to death
practically all the members have
been wounded or otherwise injured
said Captain Kelly. TT has been
necessary to put the escadrille on
the non-combatapt list. We have
been carrying out long bombing raids
and reconnaissances for Photographic
work. Patrol duty was continuous,
and at times offensive raids took our
men as far as ninety miles behind
the red front. where we bombed
troop concentrations, munitions de-
pots, and railways.
Warsaw fears 1t will be attacked
from the air. and there is good
ground for this anxiety, considering
the advance of tho red army In
that direction. But the Bolsheviki
have no night bombing machines.
II they use daylight machines, which
are light in structure, they cannot
carry. big bombs. The city is we'll
defended with high-angle batteries.
Among the latest casualties was
Tommy Noble. of Boston, who was
shot through the elbow while pa
trolling. He lost his arm. Noble is a
good air fighter. He was twice dec
Grated. and was mentioned in dis
patches.
Most OF the members OF the squad
are in hospitals in Warsaw and Lem
berg. We have all been decorated
once, and some OF the men have been
decorated more than that. There are
plenty OF medals, but we have been
short of food.

and kicking and in condition to fight.

ont indications.

man Cooper. OF Indianapolis. Ind, had
A very narrow escape. His engine
went dead In mid-air and he landed

and were only 100 yards of, racing
to capture him alive, when he again

Irish Are For Harding
Democratic Nominee Hears

MARION. Aug. "A Republican
sweep OF the Middle West, with Demo-
cratic strongholds bordering the
solid South" like Missouri. Kentucky
and Tennessee turning Republican.
because OF the FAR reaching unpopu-
larity OF the Wilson Administration" !"
was predicted today by Congressman
at-large William Il. Mason, a former
Senator of Illinois. who went over
various aspects OF the campaign with
Senator Warren G. Harding. Republi-
can nominee for President as they
sat together on the Harding front
porch.
ILLINOIS BY 100000.
Mason was fresh from a mass
meeting of Friends OF Irish Freedom,
at Cincinnati. and from a tour of I'LL
nois. Iowa. and Ohio. He declared
Illinois would go all OF 200,0 Re-
publican"
The victory OF Harding and
Coolidge will be the most overwhelm-
ing since Grants time" Mason said.
II have participated in every cam
paign since that which resulted in
Grants election. and 1 have never
seen one get under way so we'll for
the Republican party as this one has"
III only because OF Article X OF the
league of nations covenant, to which
Governor Cox, the Democratic
nominee for President stands COM
mitted like his illustrious preceptor
at the White House, the friends OF
Ireland in this country will vote the
Republican ticket" Mason continued.
"ThQse Americans who want Ireland
freed will support Harding because
they know Cox Is committed to the
Wilson program OF internationalism,
and that Article X, which is the
heart Of that program. and not the
heart OF the world, would bind Ireland
to England and bind the American peo-
pie to help to bind the Irish people
from ever securing their freedom.
CONFIDENT OF OHIO.
81 observe Governor Cox refuses to
reply to the pointed questions put to
him by Senator Harding regarding
whatever pledges he made to Presi-
dent Wilson respecting our foreign
policies. No wonder. Governor Cox
cannot answer these questions frank
ly and fully because he would ruin
himself politically II he attempted to
do so. He will doubtless continue to
evade and equivocate."
Mason said wherever he had gone
recently in middle Western States he
had learned of shoals Of Democrats
preparing to support the Republican
ticket
He described tho situation Ia Ohio
as most encouraging" He said Gov
ernor Cox had never "won a straight
