Your Rate
Is Ours Too

By public declaration of policy the Illinois
Central System has established three goals
of satisfaction to be reached by the charges
which it must collect for it's work. +
In brief, Illinois Central rates must be Lou
enough, high enough, right: low enough for
our patrons, so as to stimulate the flow Of
commerce.; high enough for us, so as to cover
the necessary costs of operation; right for both
sides, SO as to be truly fair and reasonable.
Rates must be viewed in the mass and
individually-in the mass for their effect on
the railroad, Individually for their effect on the
patron. To be jointly fair and reasonable they
must enable the railroad and the patron alike
to continue as going business enterprises.
1t is proper in rate-making to consider tho
factors of bulk, value, mileage, traffic volume
\ and so on, but in the long run the rate that
benefits both the buyer and the seller Of trans
p%ortation is a good rate. 1t is your rate and our
rate and literature a fair and roaeonahla rata

Canada Asks Volunteers
To Man Her Defenses

OTTAWA, Aug. 26 canadian
Press Canada called for volun-
teers from the non-permanent mi
litia last night to man coastal de-
fenses and guard certain vulnerable
points"
Defense Minister Ian Mackenzie
announced the call, saying it was
decided at two-hour cabinet meet
ing yesterday. Previously the air
force units were ordered to be ready
to move to stations they would
occupy in case of war.
An order canceling leaves applied
to about 1000 men in the perma-
nent militia, 5000 in the regular
air force and 1000 in the naval
services.
I'm the light of the present situa-
ton there are certain military
duties for which the strength of
the permanent force of Canada is
insufficient and hence it has been
decided to place portions of the
temperament active militia on
service" Mackenzie said.

Danzig Nazi Guard
Reported Slain by
Polish Guards
Free City Is Quieter,
Bridges and Buildings
Are Protected
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DANZIG, Aug 26.-Semi- official
Danzig sources today reported the
killing of Danzig SIS (Nazi Elite
Guard man and the wounding of
Danzig policeman by Polish SOL
diers on the troubled Danzig- Polish
frontier. ~
The Danzig account was that the
Poles crossed the border near Stein
f1less and fired on the Danzigers.
Despite this and other incidents.
the Free City was notably quieter
than yesterday, which was marked
by feverish Nazi activity. Polish
charges that Nazis still were under
mining Polish interests in Danzig
kept tension alive, however.
Poles said S. S. men had occupied
a petroleum storage station of the
Polish State Petroleum Co. and a
grain depot of the Polish grain ex-
port company in Danzig. Protests
were filed with the Danzig Senate.
S. S. men were stationed in four
Danzig stations of the Polish rail-
way system, which crosses Free City
territory.
Important bridges and public
buildings were being guarded by
armed soldiers. Reliable sources
said there were about 100 machine
gun nests scattered along the DAN
zig side of the border. Military Of
ficers were conspicuous in hotels and
in the traffic about the city.
Polish officials said today they still
were unable to confirm the killing
of one Polish soldier and the wound
ing of another yesterday by Danzig
border guards as reported by Dan
zig officials.
The German cruiser Schleswig
Holstein was anchored today direc-
ly opposite the Polish munitions
dump of Westerplatte at the en-
trance to the Danzig Harbor.
