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.

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

which would have to be cleared up
later to maintain unbroken the fra

"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

that the laws of Cuba and her in
stitutions permit under which pro
tection they will remain in that re

"In so doing the Mexican govern

line of conduct which President Car

of a true society of nations, the
equality ofnattonals and foreigners
alike and <-omplete submission of all

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

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.

"As soon as the men got aboard

sank they gave three cheers.
Off Southeast Coast
"Of the 5 4 (56?) missing, two are
corporals and the other privates. I
believe all were killed by the explo
sion."
The steamship Moldavia was off
the southeast coast when she was at
tacked,- says the correspondent of
the Daily Mail at a southeast coast
port. He quotes a member of the
crew as saying:
"A careful watch was kept but a
submarine does not seem to have
been sighted before the torpedo
struck. Only half a dozen men who
were put off on a raft got so much
as a wetting and.they were saved."
