RAISE FREIGHT RATES

Tern Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern One of the lines to Benefit From Commission Ruling. v

\.%bWASHINGTON', April 26.— Application of nine middle western electric railroads for increased freight' rates were approved tentatively today by the interstate commerce commission. Lines affected are the Western Ohio Railway company the Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern Traction company

Indiana Railway and Light compu y Southern Michigan Railway company Chicago, South Bond and Northern lndlaaa Railway company Union Traction Company of Indiana Interstate Public Service company Louisville and Southern Indiana Traction company, and the Louisville and Northern Railway and Lighting company.

E. M. Walker, general manager of 1lie Terre* Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern. Traction company, Friday morning said: "This proposition has been befo.-e tfrft interstate commerce commission for some time. On January 23 the Indiana pubjic utilities commission raised the rate on Interstate freight in Indiana from 15 per cent to 20 per cent on the average rate, but they were of course unable to raise the rate on interstate freight, and lines running from one stat« to another were held to the old rate. "For instance In tha last month it has been cheaper to ship milk from Paris to Terre Haute, 19 miles, than to ship it from Ranford to Terre Haute, a distance of 8 miles. The line from Paris to Terre Haute is th§ longest, but Paris being in Illinois and Terre I Haute in Indiana, the old rate was used while Sanford and Terre Haute were both in Indiana so the new in-creased rate was used. This, decision by the interstate commerce commission will equalize th« interstate rate uul the intrastate rate, making it so that the rate from one point in the state to another point in the state will he the same as the rate from a point "in one state to a point fn another state."

ZEEBRUGGE COMMANDER TO LOSE JOB FOLLOWING ATTACK

German Newspapers Claim British Naval Raid Was Failure, But Admit It Was Bold.

AMSTERDAM, April 2«.—Vice Ad "miral Schrocder, the commander of Zeebrugge, according to reports reaching here, will be deprived of his command for being taken by surprise by tjhe British Tuesday.

German ^newspapers, in commenting On the raid at Zeebrugge, generally take the hint given in the official re ports at Berlin and report the enterprise as having been a failure, oome, however, admit that the attack was made with great boldness. "The cement laden Hhips which were »unk close to the coast will not hinder the exits and entrances of the German naval forces," the Koelnische Zeitung SB\ S.

The Lokal Anzeiger says that the paiders succeeding in blocking the waterway to a great extent, but that the U-boats still are able to leave their fcr.rbor as a narrow passage remains.

The Weser Zeitung regards the British version as a fantastic substitution of the wish for deed and adds: "It is a success of which w« Germans may boast."

The Koelnische \olks Zeitung sees in the attack evidence that the existence Of a submarine base at Zeebrugge is making "life intolerable for .England.

Crews of British Boats Went to Seeming Death, to Make Work Sueoess.

LONDON, April 26.—Details of the British naval raid on the German's submarine base at Zeebrugge contained in the official narrative issued by the admiralty show to What lengths the crews of the cruiser Vindictive and the Liverpool ferry boats Iris and Daffodil sacrificed themselves to draw the attentions of the Germans from the three cruisers assigned to block the canal. Concerning the engagement on the mole where the Vindictive landed storming parties, the account says: "The Daffodil, after aiding to berth i the Vindictive, should have proceeded to land her own men, but Captain Carpenter ordered her to remain as she was with her bows against the Vindictive's quarter pressing the latter ship into the mole. Her casualties, owing to her position during the fight were small, one killed and eight wounded, among the latter being her commander, Lieut. Campbell, who wfts 1 struck in the right aye by a shell splinter. "The Iris ha« trouble, Her' first attempts to make fast to the ip61e ahead of the Vindictive failed, as her I grapnels were not large enough to span 1 the parapet. Two officers, Bradford and Hawkins, climbed ashore and sat astride the parapet trying to make the grapnels fast, till each was killed and fell down between the ship and wall. I Commander Gibbs had both legs shot away and died next morning. Total, casualties on the* Iris were eight officers and 69 men killed 102 men and six officers wounded. "The storming and demolishing parties upon the mole met with no resistance from the Germans other than Intense and unremitting fire. The geography of the great mole with its railway line and many buildings, hangars and store sheds was already well known and the demolition parties moved to their apointed work fn perfect order."

May Mean New Attack.

It is not improbable the Germans may be making strong attacks on vital sectors in an endeavor to cover preparations for an effort some place else, but it is significant that they have attacked on the most important sectors on either battle front.

South of the Somme the Germans have been driven from the high ground and the village of Villers-Bretonneiuc by the British with the loss of 600 prisoners. Further south they, hold Hangard.

On this front heavy artillery duels are-in progress. American wounded in the fighting on the French sector from Hangar''' to Castel are arriving in Paris.

In the Woevre, near Regiiieville, which is five miles northeast of Seicheprey, where Gen, Pershing's men were attacked heavily last Saturday, the French have repulsed a strong German attack. The enemy gained a footing in advanced elements, but the Freuch line was later re-established.

The enemy, it is said, will be compelled for some weeks*, to use Ostend as a base, and the British then can deal more easily with the German warships and submarines. The channel at Zeebrugge was blocked, and much damage done to the defenses and shipping.

KEMMEL HILL IN DOUBT.

Enemy Possession of Valuable Portion Not Conceded By British. WITH THE ALLIED ARMIES IN FRANCE, April 26.—Heavy fightirtg is still in progress today along the ridge line of the Flanders front, where the peak of Mont Kemmel is the German objective.

This peak evidently is yet disputed ground, but with the German threat agstinst it more menacing, as it is conceded by the British official report that the enemy has secured a footing on the hill.

420 WABASH AVE?

Although faced by a superior force in the ten-mile sector between Bailleu! and Hollebeke, the Anglo-French troops holding this line battled stubbornly all day yesterday, giving grotind only when compelled to by weight of numbers.

The line seems to have held fairly well to the southwest of Mount Kemmel, which is virtually impregnable to frontal atack, but to the northeast the Germans were apparently able to push forward far enough in the neighborhood of Vierstraat to enable them to approach the height on the flank.

The allied effort naturally will be to ccncentrate against thjs enemy wedge and drive it back again sufficiently to ease the pressure on the easterly side of Mount Kemmel That they have not conceded the height to the Germans is evident by the wording of the London official statement which admits only an

enemy footing there and report* the battle still continuing. Definite possession of Kemmel- hill by the Germans might mean tnat the British would have to abandon the Ypres salient, according to correspondents at the front. The fighting on the Somme front has died dowjn to artillery Are, following the skillful execution yesterday of the re-taking dl the village of Viilers by the British.

The British troops last night completed their operation here for the ume being, cleaning out hostile posts which were holding out to the southeast of the village. This establishes the British once more well on the high ground in this sector.

Fight With Digging Tools. WASHINGTON, April 26.—How two companies of Italian military troops digging trenches for the allies in Flanders fought attacking German troops with their pick axes is told In a dispatch today from Rome. The message says:

"The first Italian troops reached France last November. These contingents made munitions for artillery and various war necessities, showing discipline and capacity. Later on, others arrived under Gen. 'Tarditi And were employed in defensive construction proving themselves- excellent workmen, not displeased that they were unable to carfy arms against the foe like the French and English. "Two auxiliary Italian companies working in the trenches in Flanders found themselves in front of the advancing fjermans. The German subaltern in charge ordered the soldiers to do some work before surrendering, but the Italians fell upon the Germans with their picks, killing many, capturing others and retiring in an orderly manner."
