Higher Phone Rates
in Minnesota Are
Extended for Test

st. Paul, MINI, July 2.-An, inter-
locutory injunction restraining the
state railroad and warehouse commits
sion from charging the increased tele-
phone rate established several months
ago, was granted the Tri-State Tele-
phone 4 Telegraph CO., and the North
western Telephone Co, in a decision
handed down by three judges of the
United States district court here Sat-
urday.
The order extends, for test period
OF eight months, the new rates estab-
lIshed by the companies. The court
held that the rates set by the commits
sion were confiscatory.
The companies were asked by the
court to give bonds to protect tele-
phone users in the event that at the
end Of the eight months the rates
should be found to be too high.

Washington, July "A statement

expressed Saturday that the president
would advocate the passage Of the

IS EFFECTIVE SATURDAY
VIEW OF DIPl0MATiSTS

Washington, July 2-Signinx Of the
resolution declaring a state of peace
with Germany and Austria, it was
held here, ended Saturday, the technical
state of war with these powers.
There was some difference of opin-
ion among lawyers of the administra-
ton and diplomatists as to whether the
affixing of the president's signature
ended the state of war at the exact
moment Of signing, or whether the
resolution would be held to be in force
all Saturday in the view that such acts
might not require taking into consider
alton fractions of day.
Peace Proclamation Next.
The view was also expressed by one
or two that the state Of peace legally
would not be considered in effect until
the resolution had been deposited in
the state department but almost gener-
ally the opinion was held that the state
of war was ended Saturday.
The next step. it will be pointed out,
would be the issuing of the formal
peace proclamation which could be ex-
pected within few days. This. it was
added, would be mere formality and
in its effect would date from Saturday.
The proclamation, it was explained,
would be by President Harding and
signed in addition by Secretary
Hughes.
Must Negotiate Treaty.
A treaty Of peace will then be nego-
tiated. it was said, but the administra-
ton is understood not to have develop
ed as vet the steps by which it will
undertake such negotiations. The |
signing of the resolution, it was added |
opens the way for resumption of diplo- |
matte relations between the United |
States and the former enemy powers,
it has been Indicated that the |
in which this will be approach
ed has not been determined.
The issuing of the peace proclama- !
lion as of Saturday, it was pointed out,
would operate to terminate wartime
avs which have not previously been
repealed by congressional action.
Among the more important are the
,radjng with the enemy act and the
Liberty bond act.

to her intrigue with Jake Hamon.

easiest and quickest way to regain
what she lost when she killed her
paramour.
Nine out of ten "object lessons"

FRENCH ARMY REFORM

On January 1. 1923, the "classe'' of 1920
of the three-years' service men will be
dismissed, having completed their term
OF service. Six months later this will be
followed by the ''classe" of 1922, recruited
under the new law. which will have COM
pleted its Is months of service The army
therefore in that year will lose two
classes and only recruit one. and not
only that. but one-half of the army that
remains will consist of men of only six
months training. The army will there
fore drop from 10000 well-trained troops
to 10000, half of whom will have been
only six months, with the colors This
will be the critical moment, as any at
tack from without would thus find France
none too we'll prepared.
However, within the next IS months
there is every probability that the allies
will have seen to it that Germany's
teeth are really drawn, and that the re-
duction of her armed forces is reality,
and not as at present, a mere camou-
flage. The military commission of the
chamber has added a rider to the army
bill calling upon the government to make
in 1925 a full report on the results of
the present reform with a view to still
further reduction of the period of service
with the colors. probably to one year.
