NO CHANGE IN
CITRUS RATES
This Years Crop to be
Moved Under Ex-
listing Charge

The 1928 citrus fruit crop Of the
Lower Rio Grande Valley will be
shipped under the old freight rates.
according to information received
from the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. No action in connection
with the establishment OF new rates
on citrus and other fruits will be
taken before February 8. 1929, the
commission announced.
Under the order issued by the
commission %suspending the citrus
fruit rate fixed by the carriers, the
suspended rate Immediately Joined
the '~'untreated' class. The commits
sion originally announced that rates
on all commodities not treated in
the tariffs which went into effect
July IL. must be treated BY Decen-
Der s. The time limit was later ex-
tended to February s, and hearings
will probably be held on or before
date.
The present rates, while not sat
isfsctory to Valley citrus fruit
growers and shippers, are decidedly
better than those which aroused the
protests Of all southwestern fruit
AAS"~Af SAlPPN-S sN"ecs Ahc PASohe
rates give the Valley the advantage
in q large territory, but the pro-
posed rate, which was Suspended BY
the commission, would have given
Florida a decided advantage. Rep
resentatives Of the Missouri Pacific
and Southern Pacific have indicated
they would join the Valley growers
and shippers in working out a rate
that would not permit Florida to
invade Valley territory.
Practically all the fruit crop OF
the Valley will be moved before Feb
ruary s, shippers point out. and they
express confidence in securing an
equitable rate for future fruit crops.

By JOSEPH S. WARD, JR.

BOSTON, May 26.-It has remained
for Boston to furnish one of the
most dramatic incidents in the entire
triumphal tour OF the crew Of the
transatlantic airplane Bremen-the
meeting of two men whose first ac-
euaintance was made over the sights
Of machine guns, above the trenches
in France.
Captain Hermann Koehl, eo-pilot of
the Bremen, again has greeted Cap
tain Robert F. Raymond of the air
service, officers reserve corps. Unit
ed States army, but how differently
than before.
Almost exactly ten years ago the
men met in a bitter air battle, which
resulted in defeat and imprisonment
for both. But at their Boston meet
ing they grinned, shook hands. and
Captain Raymond pinned IN Ameri-
can Legion medal on his late adver-
sary.
How II All Occurred
In the fighting around Chateau
Thierry and the Toul Sector. Cap
tain Koehl was on the other side Of
the lines, attached to a bombing
squadron. The flying circus to which
Koehl was attached regularly. flew
over the American lines, dropping
death-dealing bombs.
Captain Raymond's outfit was in
structed TO destroy the German
bombers. Accordingly. the American
flyers lay in wait till the bombing
convoy was seer heading for the
American lines. Then the United
States flyers took off with a rush. In
a few minutes the battle was on.
The ground troops forgot their
troubles watching the bitter struggle
overhead, which resolved itself into
a regular "dog fight" Raymond and
koehl were in the thick Of il. and
both met disaster. Koehl crashed
down behind the American lines, and
Raymond went down out Of control
behind the German lines.
Similar Experiences
The flyers we're picked out Of their
machines, and after being patched
up, were SEN to prison camps. Neither
remained imprisoned long. Each es-
capped and made his way to Switzer-
land, and not long after that they
we're back in the thick of the fight
ing.
The two men had a long chat after
their first meeting. reminiscing about
the var and the changes brought by
peace. Koehl observed that Ray
mond wore the Distinguished Service
Cross. and congratulated him.
well" said Captain Koehl. when
they were about to separate. 81 don't
know whether I'm a better aviator
than you are. but ! do know one
thing. I'm a better escaper. i stayed
in prison six days. and you stayed
seven. so | have you by one day"
And Raymond had to admit defeat
at last, after ten long years.
