The t- \ respondents are M. J. Walsh, W. H. .e Owens and S. Wilson and F. Williams Jt and have the right of appeal to the ■ ; Superior Court. In the course of his opinion Mr. V Monaghan says: "It is argued that the term 'com mon carrier' was intended to be used in a limited sense; but any doubt as to the meaning of the term 'common carrier' in the act is swept away by the very broad definition of that term contained in section 1. * * * The expression 'any and all' common 1 carriers means no more nor less than their ordinary use and signification ! indicates, i. e. all common carriers and ! not iess than all, if the ordinary mean , ing of very common words and lan -1 guage is to be given them. \ "It is contended by the respondent ;in the present case that the term ; 'common carrier' as used in the first section of the act, having been pre- common carriers, restricts the general term to only such carriers as are named; but this contention is without any weight when it is noted that among the specially named corpora tions over which jurisdiction is given are several that are not common car riers at all, in addition to which, should we coniine our jurisdiction to the corporations specified by name, we would be obliged to wholly ignore the general term 'any and all common carriers.' "We have therefore come to the con clusion that the respondent is a pub lic service company and is entitled to all the rights and liable to all the du ties imposed by the public service company law. The respondent being a public service company may not lawfully begin business without the approval of the commission. * ♦ As we interpret the act no proposed corporation intending to embark in public service business, and no in dividual partnership or unincorporated association of individuals intending to embark in public service business may do so, unless it or he lias first ob tained the approval of this commis sion evidenced by a certificate of pub lic convenience. • • • are quite clear that while an applicant in tending to operate a motor vehicle must first obtain a license from the Commonwealth to operate his vehicle, yet having obtained such license, and before he can embark in the business of a public service company, he must apply for and obtain the consent of this commission." "Any one who holds himself out to the public as ready to undertake for hire or reward the tranportation of goods from place to place and so in vite the custom of the public, is in the estimation of the law a common car rier. "A careful review of the facts in the case leads us to the inevitable con clusion that the respondent is a com mon carrier of passengers under the accepted legal definition of that term at common law and also under section 1 of the act specifically defining the term 'common carrier' as including all common carriers of passengers as well as of goods or property. * » * But the language conferring jurisdic tion upon the commission in Pennsyl vania Is so clearly explicit and un ambiguous as to have no doubt of our jurisdiction over common carriers of the class represented by the respon dent. Commission*s Decision May Not Afiect Jitney Situation in This City Edward F. Eisley, president of the Harrisburg Jitney association, said this morning, that unless an acMition al tax is placed on jitneys in the State, the decision of the Public Service Commission will not keep any oper ators in this city from continuing their business. At present only a few have paid the city license and furnished the $2,000 bond required by city or dinance, but it is believed that a num ber of drivers in the city intend to take out licenses later in the Spring. I'EXNSV AFTER EQUIPMENT It was reported in equipment circles that the Pennsylvania Railroad system may again come into the market and purchase a considerable number of iocoinotives, either for replacements or as additional equipment. The j Pennsylvania lines West are said to be j procuring prices on fifty Mikado type j locomoti.es, while the Pennsylvania | Railroad Is said to be preparing specl | flcations for a number of Decapod type locomotives for the lines East of Pitts "fTh Reo Plant Covers Forty Acres of Floor Space "We had a laugh at the expense ot our publicity inan the other day," said R. C. Rueschaw, sales manager of the Reo Motor Car Company, "and his chagrin was pitiful to see when we told him that, Instead of over-stating, in accordance wth the traditions of his craft, he had been grossly under stating one important fact In connec tion with Reo. "In reading over some Reo ads I noticed that the publicity man had changed his tune to some extent from last year, and was now saying 'the big 30-acre Reo factories' Instead of the '2O-acre plants' about which he talked a year ago. "Of course knew that hundred of workmen had been busy during the past twelve months making additions on all sides of the Reo factories, but I wondered whether he had the facts straight or might be stretching it a bit. "Not that It matters particularly to a publicity man, but we sales manag ers have to be more fastidious about these matters. "I took the matter up with our su perintendent of construction and was somewhat surprised myself at what I found out. "I not only found that his '3O-acre plant' statement was justified, but that he was grossly libeling the Reo com pany and not keeping up with the growth of the concern. "After wc had figured out the amount of space, by the various new additions to the Reo automobiles and the Reo Motor Truck plants, wc found to our amazement that they now cover very nearly forty acres—to be abso lutely exact, 39.23 acres. "While it is really twelve years. It seems only yesterday that the entire Reo factory was encomposed in one tliree-siory building, 60 feet wide by 250 feet long. "Of course I noticed that of late I'd l'eel considerably more fatigued after a walk through the plant, even though I have never covered all the departments in any one tour. 1 attri buted that to oncoming of old age, however, instead of to the real rea son. I felt better and younger after our architect had figured out for me that to traverse every aisle in every department of (he Reo factories would mean a walk of nearly ten miles. "Now I realize why we Reo folks have so little need for golf. A walk through the Reo factories is equal to more than two 18-hole games—and to tell you the truth, I have found it considerably more exciting." BULGARS MARCH AS RUMANIANS MOBILIZE [Continued From First I'ajco.l from Bucharest to Predeal on the Hungarian frontier. Since the massed of Thurs day night against the village and fort of Vaux, northeast of Verdun, the Ger mans have not advanced at any point on the defenses of the fortress. Last night passed without infantry activity, and even the artilery action is described as intermittent. The Paris War Office Reports t'hat the Ger mans did not reply to a concentrated fire directed by the French guns against the German trenches in the Crobeaux wood and in the direction of hill 265, which is northwest of Dead Man's hill. On the other bank of the Meuse there has been heavy work by the ar tillery, notably in the regioon of Vaux. Reports of developments of import ance in the other war fields are lack ing. There appears to be increasing military activity in the Balkans, how ever. German Intrigue Along the Border Is Charged El Paso. March 18. Carranza Consul Garcia has received a message from Leo Walker, editor of a Mexican paper published at Laredo, Tex., stat ing that German spies are operating along the border In an effort to in volve the United States with Mexico and prevent the shipment of arms and ammunition to the allies in Eu rope. The message to Consul Garcia reads as follows: "Numerous rumors circulating here] accusing Germans of intrigues along j the border to bring war between Mex- 1 ico and the United States, to the end thai the shipment of munitions of war to Europe may be withheld, regard less of what the consequences may be to our neighboring countries. Columbus massacre is said to have been inspired by German emissaries and German gold. All consular agents on the frontier should be notified." French Minister Predicts Favorable End of War Soon Paris, Ma'rcli IS.—"We have reached j the decisive hour," said Alexandre i Ribot, minister of finance, speaking in i the chamber of deputies last night on' the financial and military situation. Smith—"Jones, our friend Brown is going some." Jones —"Why, what do you mean?" Smith—"That's some car he has. I guess he has the money to pay for a car like that, but I thought he was more conservative." Jones —"Well, to do Brown justice, he is conservative. His car does look like a $2,000.00 car, but as a matter of fact it didn't cost him half of that. "Smith—"l can't understand that." Jones —"Brown is acquainted with machinery, and he decided that if he could get a high grade car that had been sacrificed, from a dependable concern, he would have a real car at a minimum cost. So he went down to the Cadillac agency, the Crispen Motor Car Company, on South Cameron street, and bought one of their rehnished jobs." Smith—"By jove! that does sound like good judgment." Service SERVICE should- be a big and vital factor in every efficient institution. Yet the word is sometimes loosely used, not to de scribe a highly important depart ment, nor to conceal it, but rather in place of it. Maxwell service has a real and definite meaning. It starts with the car itself and it is perpetuated by a highly effective organization consisting of 16 complete service stations, 54 district branches and over 2,500 dealers and agents—all intent on giving surpassing service to every Maxwell owner. Maxwell responsibility does not cease with the sale of the car, for Maxwell owners represent the good will of our company—their satisfac tion is our biggest asset and their loyalty to our car and our company is paramount.

Mr. Ribot's utterance is taken to be of the. utmost importance as indicating official opinion with regard to the result of the battle of Verdun. Whether peace is or is not appreciably nearer, it is unquestionable that the tension in France lias relaxed and that men's thoughts are turned to the rapid development of events favorable to the allies. 11
