LAST OF MONTH
Freight Rates to Go Up Aug. 25
and Passenger Fares on
Aug. 26

Washington, Aug. Anew freight
rates and passenger fares will be
made effective on August 26, instead
of on August 20 for passenger fares
and August 25 for freight tariffs, rail
road officials announced today.
It was also announced that the
American railroads would ask the
Canadian railroad comm lissioners for
permission to make the new rates
effective on transportation from the
United States to the dominion.
Decision to postpone the putting
into effect of the advance in the
charges, authorized last Saturday by
the interstate commerce commission
from the dates announced yesterday
was reached tonight after tariff ex
perts of the carriers had informed
Alfred A.. Thorn, general counsel
for the Association Of Railway Exec
utiyes, that it would be impossible
to have the blanket schedules ready
before August 81. Under the orders
Of the commission, the new sched'
ules must be filed five days before
they become effective.
Application of the new schedules
to transportation to Canada, officials
said, would mean that shippers will
pay freight charges under the new
tariffs for their classification terri.
tories unless the shipment passes
through more than one group before
crossing the line, in which case the
inter-territorial rate, which is to be
advanced 80 1/3 per cent, would ap'
ply. ~ .r
CaKadian railways 1t was said,

merce commission for authority to
make the new charges effective on
Transportation from the dominion

Suppose he continued, that un-

Express Concern
"There have come to me not at all
unbecomingly the, express anxieties
of American foreign-born, who are
asking our countrys future attitude
on territorial awards in the adjust
ment of peace. They are Americans
all but they have proper and natural
interest in the fortunes of kinsfolk
and native lands. One can not blame
them. If our land is to settle the en-
vies. rivalries, jealousies and hatreds
of all civilizations these adopted sons
of the Republic want the settlement
favorable to the land from which they
came.
Appeals to No Glass
There is another thought relating
to concord so essential to continued
advancement. 1t was said the other
day that the Democratic party meant
especially to appeal to the farmers
and the wage oearners and let America
forget the failure of the worlds ex-
pertinent. If America can be made to
forget the attempted barter OF nation

appeal is in vain. There is only one
other. menace so threatening to our
tranquility. That menace is the ap-
peal to class in determining what our

AMERICANS WILL MOVE
(BULLETI'ND

Warsaw, Aug. 4.-Officials Of
the American consulate have
packed up their most important
records for prompt shipment
from this city in case the 6oI-
sheviki continue to advance.
The task of vising the pass
ports of hundreds who desire to
leave Warsaw will continue until
the consulate is forced to close.
Paris, Aug. 4.-Warsaw will
have to be evacuated within
two or three days, in the opin-
ion of French and British mill
taiy experts there, and the gov
ernment is expected to be NOV
ed within that period, probably
to Cracow. "
The report of the members of
the military mission telegraphed
here last night declared that the
Polish army along the river Bug
has retreated so precipitately
that it did not even destroy the
bridges behind it. This river
was Warsaw's line of defense.
A special Russian cavalry corps.
the military men reported, was driv-
ing southwest along the border Of the
Allenstein district and yesterday had
reached a point 81 miles northwest
of Warsaw on the only direct rail-
road to Danzig from the Polish ca
pital.
Poles Demoraiized
The experts reported that the Pol
ish forces were demoralized on the
whole northern and central front and
were falling back. The military men
said, they had virtually abandoned
hope of the Poles making a stand
now.
The Polish armistice delegation re-
turned to Warsaw Tuesday night and
the Polish government has little hope
of the speedy arranging of an arrl1is.
.
tice. The members of the. allied mis-.
sion are convinced that the Soviet
government does not intend to neg.
otiate an armisticei they reported
and declared their belief that the
Russians had set the next meeting OF
the negotiations for today at Minsk,
knowing that it would be impossible
for the Poles to arrive at that time,
making a pretext for further delay.
Fear Supply Cut
The Polish government it is learn
ed, is undecided as to whether it
will send emissaries to Minsk. The
experts, said their gravest concern
was the imminent cutting Of direct
with Danzig upon
which Poland is dependent for mil
itary supplies.
