SAN FRANCISCO, July %.
The Southern Pacific railroad
company today was ordered by
the state railroad commission
to put into effect within 80 days
freight rate reductions between
Los Angeles and the Imperial
valley, designed to save Imper-
ial valley shippers approxi-
mately 100000 annually.
Rates on livestock, lumber,
cement and flour were reduced

feet July l.
Fruits and vegetables, form
erly given a commodity rate of
35 cents per 100 pounds or
$40 per ton, were reduced to
33 cents per 100 pounds or $3.50
per- ton. The reduction amounts
to $18 per car.
The case was started by the
Imperial county board of sup
ervisors and hearings were
held in Los Angeles, where tes-
timony was taken.
In rendering it's decision, the
commission said rates had come
into need Of readjustment be-
cause of the horizontal rate in
creases amounting to a total of
Sc percent placed in effect dur
ing federal control and ON ac-
count of the heavy increase in
population in the areas af-
fected.
The decision also gives to the
ports of San Pedro and Wilm-

ule of class rates as applies
from Los Angeles, benefitting
those two ports materially.

LOST ABOVE N. Y.

ABERDEEN, Md, July ga
thrilling all night flight through
dense fogs, rain and wind storms,
with narrow escapes over New
York skyscrapers, was the expert
ence of three army officers and
four newspapermen who last night
flew from Washington to New
York and return in the giant army
dirigible, C-2.
For more than an hour the big
ship, its radio apparatus out of
commission, was lost i'll dense fog
over New York harbor. BY the
narrow margin Of 20 feet it missed
a high New York smoke stake
through quick work of the pilots. A
short time later the powerful beams
of a searchlight on a harbor patrol
boat saved the CO from crashing
into the White Hall building at the
Battery, New York harbor.
Finally a bright light stood out
of the darkness. In the hope of es-
tablishing bearing the big ship
came down. The light was shining
from the Statute of Liberty.
The ship was in the air continu-
ously for nearly IA hours. Air
service officials believe the flight
has demonstrated practicability Of

BERLIN, July 28.-I have searched

Financial disintegratiOn proceeding
here has progressed still further in
! Austria and is progressing inevitably i'll
| Hungary.
| Bulgaria is in its grip. Italy, despite
well directed, heroic efforts, is facing
| a most serious situation.
The European situation at no time
since the armistice has been as grave

ableness of Germany's financial col
| lapse, unless radical changes in indem
| mites demanded are made, is now obvi-
| Gus to anyone.
Apparently the unsolvable, difficulty
| lies in the inability of France to discuss
reasonable readiustment of indemnities.
| France, Il victim Of the war, is also a
victim of illusion.
While under an illusion that she
could obtain vast indemnity payments,
France spent nearly ninety billions on
reparations and has been voting a debt
in the form of short treasury obliga
tions up to about that amount. Casting
off the illusion doesn't liquidate the
! debt
France, therefore, finds it impossible
to agree to reasonable adjustment of in
demnity and only such an agreement
can save Germany from an inevitable
| collapse. There are many sound reasons
for believing that Germany will soon
face growing unemployment which will
come in a period OF rising prices be
