The Allies are again cutting the
' dikes along1 the Yser, according to the
I official statement of the French War
Office this afternoon, in order to
che"ck. the German drive from Dix
mude, which had assumed serious pro
portions. That the Allies' lines at
this point were menaced was appar
ently Indicated by- the fact that heavy
reinforcements have been sent to the
British army, and Field Marshal Sir
John French is reported to have
taken 'personal command at that point.
With-the land south of Dixmude in
undated a forward movement of the
heavy guns .that the Germans have
massed there will be difficult. In the
- meantime, however, a renewal of the
attempt to, push along the coast is
Indicated by the fact that the Germans
are bombarding Nieuport. Their ar
tillery is also active farther south,
and Ypres is again being shelled.
At other points on the Franco-Belgian
lines there has been relatively
little activity. In the Argonne, attacks
by the Germans have been repulsed
and slight gains are claimed by the
French. In the Woevre the Germans

While all three railroads running Into
Philadelphia will exact a, general In
crease' In fares to all points, they have
announced an' additional sweeping In
crease In commutation rates uffectlns
this city ' particularly. Not one of tha
roads running Into New York city hus
expressed Intention of advancing the
rates for commutation rvlce there.
Apparently the Pennsylvania, the Phil
adelphia and Ileadlng and the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad companies, not con
tent with the general Increase in pas
senger tariffs planned throughout the
Cast, have agreed to saddle upon the
backs of Philadelphia commuters an ad
ditional tax of many thousands of dol
lars annually.
This flagrant injustice on the part of
the railroads, the Indignant commuters
here declare. Is nothing more or less
than a deliberate hold-up of Philadel
phia, and Is only possible, they say, be
cause It has been concurred In by all
three railroads.
The Transit Committee of the United
liualnesa Men's Association and the Ex
ecutive Committee of the Commuters'
Association, will take up this phase of
the rate fight at a meeting Saturday
morning at 1U9 Chestnut street. It Is
probable they will arrange to present
proof of discrimination against Philadel
phia before the Pennsylvania Public
Service Commission at the formal hear
ing here next Thursday.
The commutation rates now In force
in New York city from points more than
seven mlles-outslde of the city, are low'er
than the present rates for a correspond
ing distance here. Within the seven-mile
limit, the New York rates now are
slightly higher than the present Phila
delphia rates. But should the proposed
increase become effective here, both
within and outside of the seven-mile
limit the Philadelphia rates will be much
higher than those In New York.
NEW YORK KEEPS &0-TIUP TICKET,
The Pennsylvania Railroad has a W
trip commutation ticket fn use In New
York, very similar to the one scheduled
for withdrawal here. No word suggest
ing either the increase in prlci of this
ticket In New York or Its withdrawal
there has been beard, although the dis
continuance of the ticket in Philadelphia
is one of the most bitterly contested
points In the commuters' flght.

BIG NAVY BLOW AT PEACE,
DAVID STARR JORDAN SAYS
Chancellor of Leland Stanford Ad
dresses Unitarians in Qermantown.
"A larger navy for the United States
would mean a serious blow fur world
peace," said Dr. David Starr Jordan,
chancellor of Leland Stanford University,
today In addressing the Philadelphia
League of Unitarian nnd Other Christian
Women at the Unitarian Church, Greene
street and Chelten avenue.
"The effect of a great navy on the Pa
cific coast would be, sooner or later, to
Irritate Japan, who Intends to knock the
chip off our shoulder If we place one
there," imld Doctor Jordan.
He said the Japanese were aggressive
enough to contest the supremacy of the
Pacific If this country made preparations
for fighting them. The great hue and cry
for a large navy, ho said, was the work
of politicians.
"We must prepare for peace by peaceful
means. The United States Is the peace
cfntre of the world, and tha peoples of
Europe are looking toward our shores for
the solution of their tragic problem."
The speaker, whose subject waa "The
Reconstruction of Civilisation," outlined
the world peace movement as directed
against military effloleney. He said lha
neither fiervla, Austria, Russia, France,
Belgium nor England was responsible for
the war, and that the only evidence he
had that Germany was not responsible
was contained In letters from German
friends. In his opinion. England was not
actuated by envy of German commerce.
Doctor Jordan will address the members
of the Neutral Committee of the Red
Cross Society at the' home of Mrs. J. B.
Llpplncott. 1712 Spruce street, tomorrow
morning at H:3Q o'clock. Tomorrow night
he will speak at the First Unitarian
Church, 21st and Chestnut streets. Ills
subject will be "The Concern of American

HANGED IN PRISON
State Takes Life of William
Abel tor Murder of
Twelveryear-old Thomas
Kane.
The gallows claimed Its last victim at
Moyamenslng prison at 10:02 o'clock this
morning, when William Abel, 33 years
old, wns hanged for the murder of 12-year-old
Thomas Kane, of 266 Memphis
street. Abel was pronounced dead at
10:23 o'clock by three physlclans.-
The body was taken away by Emll J.
I.e Bright, an undertaker, of 4351 Main
street, Manayunk. Burial will be at the
Leverlngton Cemetery Saturday morning.
Abel died repentant. For hours before
the time came for the march to the
scaffold the man sat In cell No. 15 -with
the Hev. J. Francis Behrens, of the, Fif
tieth Baptist Church, chanting the 3d
Psalm and reading many tlmea over the
iith chapter of John.
At 10 o'clock the door of his cell was
opened and Abel, his hands fastened be
hind his back, started to walk to the
gallows. The clergyman accompanied him
to the foot of the structure. Members
of the sheriff's Jury and the newspaper
men distinctly heard the roan intoning the
paatm.
The murderer stepped on the trap
without a tremor and stood erect, while
the black cap was fastened over his
head, Examination of the body when It
waa cut down showed that the neck was
not broken, but death was apparently
Instantaneous. The physicians were Drs.
Thomas C. Morton, Chester Wilkinson
and Joseph Baldt,
Sheriff Acker (eft the corridor In which
tha gallows was constructed as Abel
stepped on the trap, and did not witness
the hanging. Before tha murderer left
his cell he told the clergyman that he
felt confident of going to heaven. ' He
sent messages tq his wife and daughter,
saying he would' meet them again. As
he reached the bottom of the scaffold
steps he turned to his spiritual adviser
and said:
"I shall meet you In heaven.'"
It was announced by Sheriff Acker
that Abel Is not the last man to be
hanged In the State, but the last In
Philadelphia County. Murderers sen
tenced to the death penalty hereafter
will die in the electric chair.
Among the city officials who witnessed
the hanging were Captain of Detectives
Robert D. Cameron, Lieutenant William
B. Mills, of the Reserve Squad, and De
tectives Emanuel, Belshaw and Ulrtch.
