 The commission also says: ''Tt can not be found from the facts presented that the present rates as a whole will produce more revenue than the com pany is justly and legally entitled to, although such a conclusion might the oretically be deducted.
 There is no question but that the company must have more money than it was obtaining under the old rates, and probably more than it will get under the present rates, but in es. tablishing higher rates for the pur- pose of producing increased revenues, the effect upon the public in the use- fulness and reasonableness of the service provided. as well as the in- terest of the company must be taken into consid deration.'
 Concerning different rates on diff ferent lines the commission has this to say:

NEWCOMERS IN LIST
Of 2:1O TROTTERS
Each Year Shows Shrinkage Of
Young Horses on Turf.
Secretary eocher Would Cancel An
Winning Race Records More Than
Two Years Old to Make Up
Shortage of Youngsters

While the number Of newcomers
in the list Of 2:fO trotters Is larger
this year than ever before. it Is signih-
cant Of the growing scarcity Of young
campaigners that the number Of new
corners in the 2 80 list has been stead
lily decreasing since 1914.
It may take a turn for the better
this year. when the returns are all In,
for harness racing has come back with
a bound since the war ended. but In
the last five years there has been .
rapid and uninterrupted decline in tho
supply Of racing material, as reflected
by the annual recruits in the 2:3O
list.
In 1914 there were 1924 newcomers,
which was only II less than the total
for 1909. In 1915 the number dropped
to 1,O7S, then in the following year to
SS6 and in 1917 to 757. while last year
1t had fallen to 615. PAGERS have kept
step with the trotters in this alarming
falling off in fresh racing material.
In 1914 there were 1903 additions to
the list Of 2 rs PAGERS; in 1915 there
were 1902: in 1916 there we're 1858:
in 1917 only 1885, and in 1918 only 551.
SO that the shrinkage in I'VE years was
almost so per cent
w. Fl. Gocher. secretary Of the Ma
tional Trotting association. is using
these figures in his campaign to can
eel all winning race records moro
than two years old, thereby making up
for the shortage Of fresh young horses
by rejuvenating the Outclassed cam
paigners.
His argument IS that such rule
is needed to relieve the shortage until
the breeders can catch up with the
demand, but he Is not saying much
about the effect which q rule Of this
kind would have on the future sup
ply. when breeders are asked to raise
fresh young tr0tters to race on even
terms against the old stagers.
All the track managers and most Of
the owners and drivers who do nat
look beyond the immediate dollar seem
to be in favor Of Doctor GOcher's
latest cure-all, and 1t Is not unlikely
the scheme will 60 through at the next
congress of the N, T. A.
Doctor GOcher estimates that such

Contemplate Touring the
BattIefields.
LONDON EVEN NOW CROWDED
Those Who Think Of Going Are Ad.
vised to Be Sure Of Quarters Be-
fore starting-2,0o0,ooo Are
Planning to Make Trip.

New York.-Americans who contem-
plate visiting the battlefields in Eu-
rope next spring or summer will be
well advised to secure their hotel ac-
|commodation well in advance or to
postpone their journey until conditions
are more favorable. Percy S. Bullen,
treasurer of the Association of For
eign Press Representatives in the Uni
ted States, who has just returned to
New York, says that London even now
cannot find room. for visitors and that
the state of affairs when the f1oodgates
OF tourist invasion are again open will
be appalling unless the intending
American visitors are forewarned and
therefore forearued.
1t is estimated that some 100000
persons-one for each man sent to
Europe by the United States during
the WARFARE making plans for a
Transatlantic trip in the next two
years. Their chief object is to see
the historic spots where the American
soldiers fOught-the Argonne forest,
Chateau-Thierry, St. Mihiel-and to
devote such a period to visit to Eng
land as time and funds will permit.
Mr.. Bullen has been all over the
western front during the last few
weeks and he predicts nothing but
anger, Irritation and despair as the
lot Of any visitors who trust to luck
10 secure hotel accommodations.
No Steps Yet Taken.
The difficulty Of the situation will
be realized when it is remembered
that the usual flow of tourists to
Europe has been completely suspend
ed during the war and that only those
among the wealthiest will have the
first chance Of securing hotel accom-
mediation when the bars against tour
list travel shall have been removed.
So far no steps whatsoever have
been taken abroad to meet an unusual
influx of visitors. Mr.. Bullen was SO
impressed with the difficulty threat
ened In London that he prepared a
memorandum on the subject. which he
submitted at recent meeting of the
Royal Colonial institute I'm London. In
the discussion which ensued 1t was
proposed that steps be taken for the
formation in London of national
committee OF reception. As nucleus
Of the organization it was proposed
that representatives of the various
Anglo-American societies should meet.
With power to add to their number
various representatives whose expert
ence would be useful in solving the
