BIPARTISAN GROUP
BACK Of BILL To
GIVE HIGHER FARES
Brighter Outlook for Public
Service Commission Meas
ure at Albany.
Especial DESPATCH TO THE HERALD. ]

ESPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD
ALBANY. n. Y, Saturday-Approved by
Republicans and Democrats. the bill open
ing the way for increase in street railway
fares through the State appears to have
much better chance of passage i'll the
Legislature this year than 1t had last
spring, when 1t served merely to start a
scandal and an investigation.
The measure, as prepared for 1ntroduc-
ton is almost identical with the Martin
Carson bin of the 1919 session to pass
which Senator George T.. Thompson
charged fund of $4,000 had been raised
by the railroad interest. That accusa-
ton and the sensational inquiry which
grew out Of it killed all fare legislation.
Although the political composition of the
State administration. including the Legis-
lature, is practically the same as last
year. the combination behind the move
nent now is bipartisan and stranger
than even before
The Public Service Commission of New
York. Lewis Nixon. chairman, has recon-
mended that the Legislature give the two
State commissions unlimited power TO
Increase or reduce fares. Mr.. Nixon is a
Democrat, and is understood to have the
approval Of Governor Smith in making
that proposal. 1t is assured that the
Governor stands ready to sign bill sent
him by the Senate and Assembly. provided
1t carries out Mr.. Nixon's suggestions
and does not contain objectionable
features
The Public Service Commission, the
Jurisdiction of which covers the State
outside the metropolis. also favors the
proposed legislation. That commission is
Republican. The Endorsement Of both
bodies, therefore. robs the opponents of
Z political issue.
The Assembly is almost certain to pass
the bill. Speaker Sweet favored it last
year. Upstate Assemblymen say that in
many of tho small cities. the public Is
ready to accept an increased fare rather
than run the risk of losing service While
sor the most part publ, sentiment unques
tiqnably is against any increase there is
evidence that the propaganda carried on
by the railroad compares during the last
twelve months has resulted in some
change in public sentiment.
The Senate offers the only serious
obstacle to fhe passage of the mea sure.
Senator Thompson is almost certain to
renew his uttack, with more charges o.
tob'bying and corruption. The Republi-
can majority. however. led by Senator ]
Henry Walters, Is counted upon to hold
together on the issue this year. The in
surgent movement, which last year nulli-
fled the majority leadership i nthe clos
ing days Of the session. has not shown
itself so far Senator Thompson always
Is counted as an insurgcnt, but the ex-
perience last spring may lead others
inclined to fellow him to proceed with
caution.
Great opposition to the increased fare
bill is expected from New York. Mayor
Hylan Is certain to take the lead in the
fight, it Is believed.

FLOODS ON RHINE FORCE
AMERICAN HOSPITAL MOVE

COBLENz. Friday.-Flood waters in the
Rhine and Moselle rivers have reached
the highest stage in 1S6 years, according
to official German records. The lower
parts CT Coblens. along the Moselle and
Rhine. are under water. and many houses
occupied by Americans have their base

erty has been small, owing to warnings
Issued two weeks ago when the rivers
tegan to rise. Army headquarters build
ing had five feet of water in it's basement
today and other structures occupied by
American forces have been flooded, but
there has been no loss of life among
Americans.
Five wards nthe American base hospi-
tai have been surrounded by water coming
from the Moselle River and two hundred

both streams state that the rain has
ceased and il is expected, with the antici-
rated advent Of cold weather, that the
water will soon recede.

|fOCH SAYS FRANCE.
 MUST C|RD ITSELF.
Great Commander Declares Germany Cannot Be Trusted and Her Neigh bors Will Be Forced to Keep
 Up Their Armies.

Paris. May 19. Warning that France must, in the midst of peace, make preparations for future wars was uttered by Marshal Foch, who presid- ed at the annual meeting of the poly technic school for army engineers to- day. Discussing lessons of the great war. he said the present economic struggle is the first part of the peace program, but preparation for war is the second part.
 Which of us,' he asked, "dares be- lieve Germany is renouncing war on the morrow of her Germany, which, inspired by ambition, took up arms in 1864, 1866. 1870 and 1914 on the plea of historic necessity? Ger many's neighbcrs, whether they wish to or not, will be forced to keep up armies and maintain strong frontiers, because quite apart from the generous intentions of civilized humanity, there are historic realities and racial appe- tites. just as there are geographical realities.
 War It's National Industry.
 How can we help mistrusting a na tion," he continued. which, reduced to impotence by the great Napoleon, was able, by it's martial ardor, to re- establish itself and bring about com plete overthrow of the colossal Napo- leonic empire, and. by superlative militarism and methodic development, extended it's authority from the east Prussian marshes to beyond the Rhine? Making war is it's national in- dustry, and might is it's right.
 Marshal Foch paid tribute to Mar shal Joffre, whose inspiration he said, brought to France the victory at the Marne q
 To Discuss Franco-BeIgian Pact.
 Brussels, May 19.-Conversations relative to a military convention be- tween France and Belgium will begin immediately after the conclusion of the Franco Belgian agreement concerning the railways of Luxemburg. Marshal Foch will submit memorandum 10 the Belgian general staff, it is under stood. and, after preliminary conversa- tions, the Belgian government prob ably will ask Great Britain to delegate an officer to participate in the nego- tiations
