2 ■5500,000,000 I RAIL ADVANCE; f 3 CENTS TO RIDE McAdoo to Announce In crease, Forced by Boost in Wages, Next Week Washington. May 25.— A huge in crease In railroad rreight rates and passenger fares is to be announced by Director-General of Railroads McAdoo early next week, almost coincident with announcement of ' wage increases granted all railway employes receiving less than $250 a month. The wage Increases to be granted will aggregate $300,000,000 and pos sibly more. The freight rate and pas senger fare increases are to be made on a basis of return which will not only absorb this wage increase, but heavy expenditures for locomotives and cars that may run to *200,000,- 000. Advance To'als 5500.000.000 This means rat anr fare advances aggregating half a million dollars. In the 15 per cent, case the railroads received about $60,000,000 from the so-called 15 per cent advance. It ap plied, however, only in Eastern ter ritory, and principally on commodity rates. • j There Is little doubt passenger fares will be increased to 3 cents a mile, and perhaps cents a mile. At present the mileage basis is 2*4 cents a mile. Class freight rates are expected to bear the brunt of the increase. These rates apply largely on mnufaetured articles that go in less than carload shipments. They necessitate greater service than coal, ores and other heavy commodities. Though some rates will be in creased more than others, in a level ing deemed advisable from tlje ex ' perience of the Interstate Commerce Commission in rate making, it is not likely that a single commodity or article will escape. Under the railroad control act President Wilson has full power to fix and review rates. This power has been delegated to Director-Gen eral of Railroads McAdoo. All rates made are subject to review by the Interstate Commerce Commission if j protest is filed, but with the Govern ment as arbiter of the rates it is I fixing, there is little possibility of any. reduction. With the Government guarantee ing returns to the railroads under Government operation it is essential that increased charges put on by such operation be met. They must be paid either through rate returns or from the Treasury, as railroad earnings are guaranteed. It is Director-General McAdoo's view that the persons and business Interests getting the service should bear the burden, even though It will bo distributed to the people.

LINES DRAWN TIGHT TO SAVE FOODSTUFFS I [Continued From l'lr9t Pago.] must be on the rationing plan. Vio lation of these orders, which become effective at once, will result in ac tion by the Food Administration. An explanation of the ruling reg ulating the use of wheat flour by bakers was also issued by the local I'ood administration this morning, liakers using wheat flour with sub stitutes should mix their flour or dough, using seventy-five pounds of wheat flour with twenty-five pounds of substitutes, to comply properly with the regulations, liakers have in some cases thought they were obeying the law by mixing twenty five pounds of substitutes with 100 pounds of wheat, thereby making a 20 per cent, mixture. The law re quires twenty-five pounds of substi tutes with seventy-five pounds of wheat, or a 25 per cent, mixture. All bakers making sweet crackers, biscuits, fancy cakes and similar products, are notified that they must limit the wheat used in these products in 1918, between January and July, inclusive, to 70 per cent, of the amount used from February 1 to July 31, 1917. Must lie Licensed Another ruling issued this morn in is to the effect that all whole salers, jobbers, brokers or commis sion dealers, no matter how small their annual transactions, who are handling food products, are subject to license. This ruling applies also to dealers doing a combination wholesale or jobbing and retail business, no matter how small the wholesaling and jobbing transactions. Anyone who makes any sales at all to retail dealers, hotels, restaurants or public bakers Is a wholesaler or jobber. These explicit rulings were re quired because of the widespread belief that dealers doing less than SIOO,OOO a year business wero ex empt from the license provisions. The SIOO,OOO business exemption clause applies only to strictly retail ers who are doing such a large bus iness and who must also take out a license. In addition. Local Food Adminis trator McCormick issued a peremp tory order that all manufacturing users of sugar in Dauphin county must make statements of their pur chases and stocks on a form provid ed by the Food Administration, whether desiring to make additional purchases or not, before 4 o'clock this afternoon in the office of the Dauphin county food administrator, room 203 Dauphin building, Har risliurg. The foregoing statement is the last official fiotice from the Dau phin county food administrator to manufacturers using sugar. It mcahs •hat reports must be in the office to-day, as the final report of sugar on hand and local requirements for the future must be forwarded by the <f> al administrator to the Philadel t iihia office by Monday. All bakers who do not get their re norf! In to-day will be penalized by the Food Administration by a further reduction in their sugar supplies af ter July 1. SATURDAY EVENING, MEXICO AND CUBA BREAK RELATIONS [Continued from First Pajje.] i • only produce tension In our relations which would have to be cleared up later to maintain unbroken the fra ternal sentiments of solidarity which have always bound us to the people of Cuba and all Latin-American countries. "Mexico, upon recalling her diplo matic representatives from Cuba, gives eloquent proof of her consid eration and respect for o sov ereignty of a friendly government J which is now passing through a ! critical period. At the same time It 1 furnishes proof of confidence, in vir | tue of which the Mexican govern | ment expects her citizens will be treated with all the benevolence that the laws of Cuba and her in stitutions permit under which pro tection they will remain in that re public the same as her own na tionals. "In so doing the Mexican govern ment compiles faithfully with the line of conduct which President Car ranza has proclaimed upon Innum erable occasions as the highest ideal of a true society of nations, the equality ofnattonals and foreigners alike and <-omplete submission of all tod the national sovereignty. The crisis having passed, as the one in which originated the revolution In our country is passing over, Mexico and Cuba will be in a better condi tion to renew diplomatic relations upon the basts of justice and equal ity only, and the great aspiration of the Mexican government in her new international relations." ENGLANDTARES PLOT OF SINN FEIN AND HUNS [Continued front first Page.] facts and documents, for obvious rea sons, cannot be disclosed at this time, nor can the means of com munication between Germany and Ireland. . One phase of every plan called for the establishment of submarine bases in Ireland. In the present cir cumstances, it is added, no other course was open to the government "if useless bloodshed wan to be avoid ed and its duties to its allies fulfilled, but to. intern the authors and abet tors of this criminal intrigue." Depended on U-boats In the statement from the official press bureau it is evident the new rising depended largely upon the landing of munitions from subma rines. The statement says: "There in evidence to show that it was planned to follow a successful Ger man offensive in the west and was to take place at a time when Great Britain presumably would be stripped of troops." "According to documents found it was the hope to be able to master 500.000 trained men. There is evi dence that German munitions actu ally had been shipped on submarines from Cuxhaven in the beginning of May and that for some time German submarines have been busy off the west coast of Ireland on other er rands than the destruction of allied shipping. It. is thus seen that the negotiations between the executives of the Sinn Fein organization and Germany have been virtually con tinuous for three a half years. New Plan Imminent "This year plans for another ris ing in connection with the German offensive on the west front \#t>re ma-' turing and a new shipment of arms from Germany was imminent. "An important feature of every plan was the establishment of sub marine bases in Ireland to menace the shipping of ail nations. "In the circumstances no other course was open to the government if useless bloodshe.d was to be avoid ed and its duty to its allies fulfilled but to intern the authors and abet tors of this criminal Intrigue." U. S. AVIATORS CONTROL SECTOR [Continued from First Page.] ous worjt in numerous former flights. Their valor in operating in Seiche prey on April 20, under heavy fire and under adverse weather condi tions was especially mentioned." An addition to the communique, issued later, said: | "Hostile machines referred to in to-day's communique were brought down by lieutenant Rickenbacher and Lieutenant Buford. "In Lorraine, on May 21. a hos tile airplane flying over our lines was disabled and forced to land In its own territory. There it was destroy ed by our artillery fire adjusted with balloon obesrvation." There has een no change in the! situation on the battlefields of North ern France. Both sides continue their raiding operations, with the Germans pacing most attentioi to the line between the Somme and Albert. Elsewhere on the front oe tween Ypres and Kheims, British and Frencn patrols have captured prisoner.* The weather has changed for the worse and rain is reported falling generally on the Somme and Picardy fronts. Tnis imposes additional hardships on the Germans who oc cupy the shell-torn lowlands while the Allies hold the high ground, most of which Is unscarred by war. If the Germans were not prepared to attack when the weather was most favorable, it '.3 not likely they will eßsay a new offensive operation while rain and mud retard their move ments. U. S. Airmen Busy American airmen now patrol the sector northwest of Toul and a squa dron is acting as the eyes for and protector of American troops on this front. The recent activity of Amer ican airmen in the region east of St. Mihlel was carried on by this squadron which also is aided by other American aviators. Two American machines have fallen, while at least six Germans have been brought down by the Ameri cans. The sector northwest of Toul now is ail-American. The gunners are American, as are the men in the trenches while over their heads fly other Americans with a distinctive insignia on their machines. American troops also may be soon fighting the Austro-Hungarlans In the mountains of Northern Italy. As the climax to the celebration of Italy's entrance into the war in New York, Secretary of War Baker an nounced that machine gun and artil lery units soon would be standing side by side vyith General Diaz's men. Btrong patrol and artillery activity continues In the Italian mountain front. YANKEE FLYERS CHASE TEUTONS ON TOUL FRONT !Two Enemy Planes Brought Down Second Day of Duty in Air in Nielport By A: lenotcii Press With the American Army In France, Friday, May 24.—An Ameri can aerial pursuit squadron Is now operating over the American sector northwest of Toul.'jt Is now permit ted to announce. All the pilots whose air exploits have been recorded up to this time belong to this squadron, which has a special insig nia. The squadron is flying In Nieu port chasing machines. The first victories, In which the American squadron brought down two German machines, were gained the day after they took up flying on this sector. The occupants of the German machines were made pris oners. Other machines aside from those in this squadron, it is permitted to | mention, also are flying on the Toul front. The fact that an American squadron had tried not to be men tioned previously was Because it was not desired that the Germans should know of the fact. But there have been BO many fights at close range and two American 1 machines have fallen that It is be- j lieved certain the enemy knows an j American squadron is now operating : on this front. There is also the fact j that Captain James Norman Hall has i fallen behind the German lines and j been made a prisoner. Lieutenant Edward Buford, Jr., of ! Nashville, Tenn., to-day was official ly credited with shooting down a German airplane over St. Mihiel on May 22. American aviators have shot down two more German airplanes north west of Toul. The victories gained in the lighting on May 22 have been confirmed. FIFTY-SIX LOST ON TRANSPORT! [Continued from First Page.] sank, when we were taken on board the destroyers.
