Allies' aggressive maneuvers, de

and difficult ground on account of the

advantages 'in Flanders, while equal
vigor and results have marked tne
French campaign in Alsace. In the

SfNieuport and an Alsatian drive has
tended with the investment of Stem
Ibach. The Germans have been ousted
from trenches which they seized re

The Increasing loquacity of the highly
placed Germans, the Crown Prince, Ad
miral von Tlrpltz, Dernberg and Com
pany, I regard as a sign of anxiety and'
weakness. Thls Is rot among the Ger
man people, from whom the facts are
even yet hidden, but among the ruling
class of Germnny, who, pf course, are
well aware that Oermany is fighting a
losing, war. "
You will notice that all -of these Teu
tonla spokesmen as-Is wopt with beaten
men alternately -whine an$ threaten.
We are content to let Von TIrplts. and'
the Crown Prince do the talking while
Lord Fisher. und General Joffre do the
shooting. v j
Pray do jjpt thnk that we underesti
mate the Germans. Many of us are of
the opinion that this qolgssal war will
go several years- Nona the less, Ger

Move to Raise Tariffs on

ped From West.
A further advance In freight rates gen
erally, Independent of the -5 per cent. In
crease granted by the Interstate Com
merce Commission In Its decision-of JJe.
cember 18 last, along the lines of read
Jtmm-nt suggested by the,' Commission, Is
now being planned by the Eastern rail
roads. The truth of this" report, which
came In a dispatch from Waahlilgtoh.'waa
confirmed today by a high offlcJhl ot the,
Philadelphia and Reading Hallway Coin.-v
pany.
The new schedules will pot bo estimated
on a horizontal Increase, as was the case
with the G per cent, advance,,' but ih
changes' wlll,be specific increases" on vari
ous, articles, which,-according to th com
putatlpn of the railroads, are at present
on a subnormal rate basis. A thorough
revision df all tariffs' of this basis is now
under yay,'and as tariff-on nany irliclea
will remain unchanged the proposed od
vanca cunnot fairly be termed general
increase.
The new tariffs will advance rates par
ticularly on live stock, grain, and. for the
most part, foodstuffs -transported from th
West. Ja effort wilt lie made to seek in
creases on various articles excepted nder
the recent ruling of the Commission.
The new rate?. If allowed, together with
the S per cent, already grunted, will
increase the annual net revenue of th
Eastern railroads by nearly 160,001,000.
the figure estimated as the probable re
turn of th original tariff advances sub
mitted to the Interstate Commerce- -Cqni. -mission
on May &, 1914, denied by the
Commission on July' 39 and subsequently
approved In part on December is.
