THE PRESIDENT IS PLEASED Wilson Expects Oeoision to Have Immediate Effect on business. Will Add $30,000,000. Washington.-Ftirther increases in freight rates were granted to the Eastern railroads by the Interstate Commerce Commission In a decision from which Chairman Hallan and Commissioner Olements dissented vigorously. Except on lake and rail traffic, coal, coke, iron ore and certain other traf fac, upon which the commission here tofore has fixed rates adjudicated "reasonable." all railroads operating in the territory between the Atlantic seaboard and the Mississiippi, north of the Potomac and Ohio rivers, were allowed the flat five per cent increase for which they have been asking for tour years. The railroads hoped to get increases which would add to the annual rev anues some $50,000,000. The commis sion's decision is expected to give them additionaa revenue approximat ing $30,000,000. The roads east of a North and South line drawn through Buffalo, Pitts burg and Charleston, W. Va., won by today's decision from the increases other than upon the traffic excepted which were denied them in the com missioner's decision last August. The roads west of this line, which got par tial advances in the August decision, received further advances; so that now all the roads in what is describ ed as official classification territory will enjoy uniform advances in both class and commodity rates. The majority of the commission-held that the roads had established in the latest hearings a greater need of ad ditional net income than ever before. This was due, the decision held, to ex igencies arising out of the war and to an already existing necessity for addi tional revenues to maintain the rail road properties. Chairman Harlan in his dissenting opinion, held that sufficient aid had been given the roads by the August decision and that the findings of the majority was "morally wrong." Com missioner Clements based his dissent upon what he regarded as the inabil ity in law, of the commission to take cognizance of anything in the making of rates other than their justice and reasonableness. UP AND AT 'EM NOW.. England Rises in Anger-Would Avenge Scarborough. London.-Although there seems no doubt the Russians are retreating, and that for the present any expectation the Allies may have held of an early invasion of Germany must be dis missed, considerable mystery sur rounds the reported decisive German victory which Berlin celebrated. Vienna gives a few details -of fight ing in the East. The claim is made' that the Russ'ians have been driven from their positions north of the Car pathian mountains from Krosno to Zakilicyn which would indicate that part of the Southern line of railway in Galicia again is in the hands of, the Austrians and that Piotrkow and another Central Poland town have been stormed, but silence is main tained as to North Poland where the German vicotry Is said to have been achieved. "Avenge Scarborough! Up and at 'em now."~ Mexican Bullets Still Flying. Naco.-Five Bullets from the Mexi can fighting around Naco, Sonora, struck near shelters built by United States troops on the border. Many other shots tell on United States ter ritory. Intermittent firing on the Mexican side continued all day. Hill's Carran sa troops, defending Naco, seemed to by doing most of the shooting. Methods Still Asunder. Atlanta.-No definite action on the proposed amalgamation of the North ern and Southern branches of the Mdethodist Church was taken by the Church Commission on Federation, which adjourned here after three days of deliberation. Three bishops from the Southern Church, four bishops of the Northern Church, six ministers and six laymen comprised the comn mission. All sessions were strictly executive, but it was stater that more progres was made than at any time previous. Teach Farmers to Sell. Atlanta, Ga.-Establishment of a 'marketing agent" in every state 'who will instruct farmers in .the scientific marketing of their crops was advocated by Judge E. R. Kone, Texas commissioner of agriculture, in an address to the final session of the annual meeting of the Association f Agricultural Commissioners of the Southern States. here, Judge Kone said that "sthe most lmportnat work of 3. state dcptmouj~t of agriculture lies in teaching !arrnrs how to profitably narket their crop&."

NO ULTIMATUM ISSUED YET Denies to Secretary Garrison That He Has Made Definite, Final Demands on General Maytorena. Washington. - Secietary Garrison gave President Wilson the latest re ports from Brig. Gen. Bliss on the sit uation at Naco, where the Mexican generals have not yet moved their forces to avoid firing into American territory. The reports showed that the situa tion had undergone no apparent change, although little firing was in evidence. While the United States is determined, if necessary, to open fire on the two Mexican forces to com pel them to stop shooting Into the State of Arizona, it was feared that no decisive action was planned, pend ing efforts to Naco to influence the two factions to adjust the situation. The general belief in official quar ters was that some satisfactory un derstanding would be reached. Agents here of the Gutierrez Gov ernment to which General Maytorena is loyal, claims that he is preparing to move his force down the railroad south of Naco, so that he can con tinue to besiege the Carranza force under General Hill with the Ameri can border out of the range of fire. While reports from General Bliss to the War Daprtpment were not made public it is believed they indi cated that he thought he had persuad ed General Maytorena to stop firing across the line. Until there Is a defi nite understanding on the whole situ ation, it is thought General Bliss has warned General Hill not to take the offensive, which would draw the fire of the Maytorena troops. RUSSIAN ARMY RETREATING. Failing Back From Poland to Get Better Base of Operations. London.-"The Russians are retir ing along the entire front in Galicia and Poland." This statement officially issued at Vienna is the outstanding feature of news from the battle fronts. While there is no confirmation from other sources, such a move on the part of the Russians would- be In line with the announcements in Petrrograd dis patches that the Russians threatened on both flanks had decided to take up new positions where they could better meet the Austro-German onslaughts from the Carpathians to the East Prussian frontier. The Russian delay In fulfilling ex pectations that they would prove a serious menace to German territory is diappointing the peoples of the Al lied countries, but military men ex press the view that it is better for Russia to fight in her own territory, where means of communcation would be more on an equality. Admiral Fisher Talks of Efficiency. Washington.-Five years would be required to put the. United States Navy in the highest state of effi ciency to meet a hostile fleet, accord ing to a statement by Rear Admiral Fiske before the House Naval Com mittee. The Admiral, who is chief of the Bureau of Operations, member of the general board and a former president of the Naval Institute, said the Navy was deficient In air craft, mines, scout cruisers, torpedo-boat de stroyers, submarines and in number of trained officers and men and had no mine sweepers. Members of the committee were particularly interested in Admiral Fiske's view as to the possibility of foreign air craft dropping bombs on American cities. He expressed the opinion that an attacking fleet might begin sending its airships on bomb dropping fights over New York from a range of 500 to 600 miles off the coast. One foreign Navy, which was nam ed, the Admiral said, was more effi cient than the American fleet in gun nery. This he declared however, was so only because the American marks men had not been given adequate op portunity for practice. Norwegian is Ashore. Colon. - The Norwegian steamer Falk has been ashore on the San Blas coast near Diable for several days, according to advices received here. She has little cargo and her position is regarded as dangerous. Shb car ries no passengers. Lions Escape in New York. New Yorkr-Six trained lions escap ed from their cage on the stage of an East Eighty-sith street theater and bounding into the audience, consist ing principally of women and child ren, created a panic. One lioness, Alice, largest of the pack, escaped into a crowded street. Policemen pursued her into the hallway of an apartment and shooting at her, prob-: ably fatally wounded Sergeant Daniel Glenn. T wo other officers were slight ly wounded by the claws of the beast; in a battle at close range. We had some good music-Mr. (lyde, with his cornet, Mr.Wig inton with the violin, and Miss1 Nellie Gentry at the organ. Come again, boys; we like your music. One Who Was Present.

GERMANS MAKE BIG RAID WHITBY, SCARBOROUGH AND HARTLEPOOL ATTRACTED BY SWIFT CRUISERS. Casualty List Totals 110, Dead 31; Big Property Loss-Unusua! Excitement. London.-For the first time in centuries England has been struck by a foreign foe. A squadron of swift German cruisers crept through the fog to the eastern coast and turned their guns against the Britons. When day broke they began bom bardment of three important towns Hartlepool at the mouth of the Tees, Whitby, noted as a pleasure resort, 15 miles beyond. Hartlepool suffer ed most. There two battle cruisers were engaged. The British war office fixes the number of dead at Hartle pool as seven soldiers and 22 civilians. At Scrabrough, shelled by a battle cruiser and an armored cruiser, 13 casualties are reported while at Whitby two were killed and two were wounded. Men, women and children of the civilian population were left dead or wounded struck without warning while at work. In all the casualty list totals 110, according to the of fcial estimates, of whom 31 are known to be dead. At Hartlepool, churches were dam aged and the gas works and lumber yards were set afire, while the - ab bey at Whitby was struck. The Bal moral Hotel at Scarborough received the full effect of a shell. A number of houses and shops were shattered and partly burned in each of the towns. The hostile squadron escaped in the mist after an encounter with coast guard vess'els. CARRANZA AND VILLA CRASH. Armies In First Big Battle East of Torreon. El Paso.-The first Important battle between the Carranza and Villa arm es Is in progress near San Pedro de las Colonies, esst of Torreon. Several columns of Carranza troops from Coa ulla Statet, aggregating about 5,000 men und.ar Colonel Ilifonse Vasquez, are engaged by a slightly larger force under General Villa. Both sides have ample artillery and the fighting is described as desperate. The. Carranza forces made a threat ening movement to take Torreon and to shut off Villa's communication wth the North. Villa garrison in Northern Mexico have been depleted by the movement into Mexico City and troops from the National Capital probably will be sent to the northern theater of war. It appears that Carranza, from Vera Cruz, has ordered a general movement into the North. Four hun dred men from General Hill's rorces in the extreme east of Sonora are moving on Juarez, held by a small* Villa garrison. Five hundred Car ranza troops from Coahulla recently passed below Sierra Blanca, Texas, on their way toward Juarez. Goethals Again Asks for Fleet. Panama.-Governor Goethals has again cabled to Secretary Garrison setting forth need for destroyers in canal ports to preserve neutrality. Colonel Goethals says he has no means of preventing the use of canal or Panaman ports as a means -of communication and that these ports apparently are being used to that end. Colonel Goethals expressed opinion that there was as much necessity for destroyers at canal ports as at any other American ports where they were stationed to prevent breaches. Right Side of Balance. Washington. - November foreign trade statistics show a balance in fa vor of the United States of $79,299, 417. For October the balance was $56,630,650, for September $16,341,722, while in August it was $19,400,406 against the United States. Novem ber's exports announced by the De partment of Commerce totalled $205, 76,424 and imports $126,467,007.

ALMOST A SCRAP IN LOER HOUSE REPRESENTATIVES HEFLIN AND MOON COME CLOSE TO ACTU. AL BLOWS. DISCUSSION OF POSTAL BILL Rule for Amendments Made Subject of Bitter Passages, involving Several Members. Washington,-After two days of hot words which culminated in exchange of invitations to personal combat be tween Representatives Heflin of Ala bama and Moon of Tennessee, the house adopted a special rule to con sider legislation for reforms demanded by the postoffice In connection with the annual appropriation bill. A de flection of democrates defeated a sim ilar rule. which provided for a con sideration of an amendment decreas ing postmasters' salaries, elimination. of assistant postmasters, experiment-. al substitution of contract service for the rural delivery service, increase of salaries for rural carriers, changes ft the -compensation paid railroads fo? carrying the mails and other reorgan Ization plans of the ~eprtment. The rule was passed iatewi*th pro visions for cutting postmasters"s aries, abolishing assistant postmasterS and -the rural service substitution scheme eliminated. A speech by Representative Moon after defeat of the original rule, in which he intimated .that "some rail road influence" had operative to shift Democratic votes caused a bitter de bate here. Representative Heflin de nounced Mr. Moon's statement as "false and untrue." Mr. Moon chal lenged him to make the same state ment off the floor of the house, and Mr. Heflin expressed his willingness to do so. The two representatives were advancing threateningly towards each other when half a dozen mem bers stepped in between them. Republican Leader Mann, who had led the fight against the original rule, later renewed the controvprsy. "The charge has been made on this floor," he said, "that the influence of railroad interests has been felt in this house. I believe it is the duty of the house, if the charge is not true, to re pudiate the charge and condemn the man who made it. If it is true, then the house owes it to itself to investi gate the charge and-punish those men whose votes have been changed by railroad influence." Representative Ragsdale of South Carolina said that "when the gentle men charge that there is railroad in fluence enough on the Democratic side of the house to defeat this legislation I do not believe it and repudiate it," "Well, the gentleman has his opin ion," replied Representative Moon. "If the hit dog yelps, let him yelp." Representative Webb of North Car olina said he "was not influenced by railroads, but by my own colleagues, who I think are high-minded, honest and conscientious men." A little later Representative Moon in a brief speech disclaimed any in tention to "reflect on the honor or in tegrity of any member of the house." He said that his speech was made "in the seat of debate" and "may have been a little too rough." lHe offered to withdraw any "offensive language" he might have passed.. SMALL GAINS AND LOSSES. All Sides are Claiming Some Few Successes. In the offensive operations of the alies in the western war arena, in teresting features are the loss in the neighborhood of Nuve Chapelle of several of the trenches recently cap tured by the British and an advance by the East Indians toward Riche bourg l'Avouve, as reported in the latest French official communication. This statement also indicates that the Germans have not been lacking In the offensive. It recordes, in addition, the annihilalation of a German column at Lihons. In the east the situation is still in doubt. According to the official state ment from Petrograd, the Germans have been repulsed in an attempt to cross to the right bank of the vistula river in Poland and fighting in the Bzura river district is developing. Re garding the victory which Germany was reported to have won In Poland, Berlin remains silent. Austria claims important successes in the battle of Limanowa in Gallicia, where 26.000 Russians are said to have fallen into their hands. A Berlin dispatch says that Em peror William has paid a visit to the wounded soldiers at rotsdam. Army Gets All Asked For. Washington,-The army approprir aton bill, aggregating $101,000,000 agreed upon by the House military committee, carried a special fund of $15,000 for, United States military ob servers in Europe. The bill closely follows the War Department's esti mate. "We gave them practically all they asked for," said chairman Hay, referring to appropriatfons for ammu nition and other materials for defense. ncrease of 25 regiments in the regu lar army was proposed by a bill in troduced by Representative Anthony. M -ssrs. John and James Gray ley, sons of J. C.
