10 ATTORNEYS WILL FILE BRIEFS IN FARE PROTEST No.New Testimony Submitted Except That of Elec trical Engineer Charles L. Bailey, attorney for the Harrisburg Hallways Company) was ordered In the protest of Charles Qulnn against proposed rate increases by the Ilarrlsburg Railways Company, heard by Com missioner Alcorn of the Publlo Service Commission, yesterday after noon, to tile his brief with the com plainants within fifteen days. Ten days will be allowed Arthur Rup ley, attorney for Mr. Quinn, In which to file his response after which the case will be ordered for argument before the full Commission. Joseph W. Lewis, an electrical en gineer, was called to the stand to testify as to the physical examina tion of the lines here, lie said he had spent most of his time on ex amination of the appraisement lists as presented to the Commission and less on actual examination of the lines of the company. lie declared that it should be pos sible to construct single line tracks such as arc in use In Harrisburg for $40,000 per mile, allowing for fifteen inches of paving on each' side of the tracks. This figure is $20,000 below the value placed on such tracks by the traction com pany. Mr. Bailey argued, however, that the topography of this terri tory, which requires more than the usual number of bridges to be con structed by the traction company, together with certain rental values which boost the cost of construction in this torrltory. Since the last hearing In the case, by permission of the commission, three auditors had made an examin ation of the company books. T. J. Bud was In charge of this work. He was assisted by John P. Geyer and Ira Rider. No new testimony as to the capital stock of the corporation was introduced as a result of the examination of the books. Treas urer O'Connel, of the traction com pany, was on the stand and testified as to certain amounts paid to small traction companies taken over by the Harrisburg Railways Company, but no new evidence was presented. 1 Tells How to Stop a Bad Cough I?

The Chemin des Dames Vivid Picture of Havoc in War-Torn Battlefields Drawn by an American Widow Who Cries For Vengeance Against Barbarians A vivid picture of havoo In one of the moat hardfought battlefield of the great war, from the pen of the widow of Henry Beach Noedham, famous American war correspond ent who lost hla life while flying In Europe. L&on France, January 2nd. "But, happily. It's over now, Madame. The war Is finished." Madame, the wife of the mayor, turned her faded blue eyes upon i me, regarded me with a steady, searching look—then said quietly and Impressively: "No, Madame, It Is not over. The war will not be finished until the people of the Invaded districts have enough to eat" There was something peculiarly meaningful In this, not only for the Allied governments, but. to give It a more personal turn, to us of the | American Committee for Devastated France, The heel of fortune—of life—turns. It does not stop. And in this turn of Its axis they and we are to be tried —to be fashioned. Millions of men have given of their lives to end this war —and have died that others might live. The guns have ceased their firing —but the battle for life has not yet ended. That which lies in the wake of war—the destruction, the desola tion, the waste —how difficult it Is for those who have not seen It to realize, but for the sake of those who have gone before and of those who will come after, it Is necessary that we try to see with that inner eye in order that we may compre hend and wisely build. I looked out on that land of misery that stretched below Laon, the city set upon a hill. 'Only a few weeks before the Germans had held sway there. Their signs were still upon the cross-roads: their hand writing still upon the fragments of the walls. I closed my eyes and saw again that vision which will never fade in the mind of any one Who has gone over the road so ironically called, "The Chemin des Dames." Once, it is said, it was but a narrow lane bordered with tall poplar trees, through which the sun. shed its rays gently and the blue of the sky be came more blue and the green of ! the earth more green. Birds sang in the trees, flowers blossomed by the path and threw their fragrance on the lovers wandering hand in hand —walking on the heights of the country of Love. And now! No words can paint it! No mind can compass it! It is war itself! The earth, a rollipg, angry, surging sea of shell holes, where one I hole breaks on the crest of another— | wave upon waves ot" shell-torn earth 1 with not an Inch of ground between. I The firmament itself in mighty mo tion —surging, beating, protesting. Almost one hears the cries of those who have been swallowed in Its depths; almost one sees the strug gle as one shell after another throws up the firm foundations to let them fall upon men fighting for life and for liberty. In the War Zone And from out of the depths of this surging, angry sea rise broken limbs and trunks of trees, like spars of ves sels lost at sea. Black, torn, burned, leafless, their spirits, too, helpless ly cry out. For centuries each tree in its own individuality had stood there. Under its branches, what lyrics, what epics, had been enacted! In Its leaves what birds had sung— what fairies had built their homes not made by hands! Birds —fairies— trees have vanished. No loqger a land of lyrics and pastoral ballads. But a heaving protest of passion and waste! Gaily the light falls on stretches of barbed wire; on water stagnant in the holes: on broken dugouts in which men took refuge in the midst of an inferno bound to compass then; on torn coats, on broken bayonets, on fallen helmets. And over all the screeching, hun gry, circling vultures. And under all the crawling, writhing, hungry worms. No—the war is not yet finished while that angry sea still unceasingly beats on the shores of the Chemin des Dames. For—what of the people who once lived here, shepherds on the hill tops? What of the families of this country—the mothers and fathers and children for whom their soldiers fought and bled and died? For four years and a half the people in Laon and the surrounding district had been in the hands of the Germans — under the cruel government of the enemy. For four years and a half they had been out of touch with their own nation. Truly, people with out a country. Xo letters came to them, no letters went from them. During that time when food was scarce, when vitality was low, when hope had no knowledge on which to build, what invidious doctrines, and lies and poisons may have uncon sciously seeped their way into their spirits? Who could know and who could tell? Xo knowledge of the tide of events could come to them. "Once or twice," said an old man to me, "I was able to buy a newspaper from a camion driver. I paid eighty francs for one. ninety for another. They were old and torn, but they told us something about our country—a far off land to us. I gathered a few peo ple in my house that we might read them together. But the Germans got wind of it. They couldn't find the papers, but they forbade even two or three of us to meet together." The sound of the guns increased. The din of the battle grew nearer. Some villages were evucuated and the inhabitants taken as prisoners into Belgium or Germany. Then came that unforgetable day when Laon was freed from the Ger mans. The curtain of steel tHht for four years and a half had separated it from its own country, was lifted. French troops marched in to greet their dased and slowly awakening kinsmen. A day for a Te Deum, when mourning was laid aside. Laon was fr^e! And after the victory, the stern reality. The spirit can stay on the heights only as long as the flesh is strong. And the people of this dis trict had no food. It was then that the prefect of the Department of the Aisne sent his call to the com mittee. He explained that the French government was sending food to Laon, but the railroads in that vi cinity had been bombarded. There was no means of communication be tween Laon and the small villages in the district. Unless he could procure means of dlstribptlon, the people would starve. He asked for two mo tor cars and drivers to dct under him for the purpose of dhtributlng the food. Quirk to Respond Twenty-four hours after this re quest two of the American commit tee cars with their chauffeurs had 1 resorted. "TBhe Gymns had dug themselves In only ten kilometers away, so the rollef went first to eight towns only. As soon as tho Germans moved on, our cars—laden with con densed milk, sugar, rice and shoes— closely followed. Jt was necessary to exercise Judgment In regard to tho amount to be given In any one place and this responsibility was left with us. A receipt was given by the Mayor of each town and this, together with a report of the day's Investigation, was taken to the prefect each even ing. When one thinks about the de vastated district and the problems of reconstrucUon one Is likely to think In terms of the larger aspects rather than In those of the more vi tal details relative to communities. There could be no more vital need than feeding these people, and a need that could not wait. But think for a moment, if you will, of the dif ficulties. Each day more towns were opened up, more people had to be fed. All supplies from the govern ment had to be sent by camion to Laon as a center. The railroad trains were running not at all. or very in frequently. The roads around Laon were in ulmost an impassable condi tion duo to mines and shell holes. Cars other than our own could hardly bo procured. It, therefore, fell to the army to establish some centers for feeding tho civilian pop ulation. But the army was likely to move on short notice. To meet this difficulty of trans portation for more than sixty scat tered villages two.sections of Amer ican ambulances, consisting of forty cars in all, were finally ordered there. Until they arrived the men of the towns went sometimes over twenty kilometers with wheelbarrows and carried the provisions back over the muddy roads to their towns. When the ambulances came our chauffeurs arranged a schedule by which each town received its provisions three times a week. The ambulances were put under the orders of the American Committee for Devastated. France, for the purposes of distribution. But the work of investigation, of relief, of making the arrangements to feed these people, to give them the Impetus again to start their commun ity life, when in groups of two and three they return, worn out. to their shattered country—these must con tinue. and the responsibility has been given .to us by the prefect, a rare tribute of confidence. So It was that on this day when I accompanied the chauffeur to twelve towns to see the Mayors, the wife of one Mayor assured me that the war would not be finished un til the people of these regions had been fed. And I pondered her words us we went on to the other villages— or what was left of them. The answers to the questions that the'prefect had sent varied but little. "How many people have you in the village now?" always elicited the number, preceded by the population before the war, and the explanation, "The others haven't returned, but we expect them back soon." "How many children?" I can see now the pitiful faces of solitary children sitting on some pile of debris, never plafing, seldom smil ing. or grouped In silence behind a wall or on the threshold of a door opening Into a looted room. Always when we asked as to the number of old people the answer came, "Not many—so many of them are ill and have had to .stay be hind." Then we questioned as to the sick people in the village and the num ber of children who needed condens ed milk. A helpless look accompan ied the answer, "But all the babies need milk. They have had none." One question elicited a shrug of the shoulders, sometimes an ironic smile, and once, even, a merry one. It was with some difficulty in one village that we found the Mayor. He had been out on his fields, and a soldier had to go to find him. He was a man of about sixty years, with white hair and white mustache and deep-set eyes that twinkled with an understanding and philosophy born of a knowledge of the tragedy of life as well as its ultimate good. "Have you any special needs in your village such as clothing, shoes, food, paper for covering the roofs and Ailing the windows?" The Mayor looked around. His eyes smiled, he answered briefly and pointedly: "Naturally." And In that stretch of waste we all laughed together at the irony of the question. But the laugh had a ring of courage and determinations —ours as well as his. In only one town that afternoon did we find a baker, a surly, disap pointed man who answered, no—he had nothing with which to bake! Confusion Reigns Some villages had schoolteachers, some had none. Some expected their schoolteachers to return. In none had the schools been opened—"for, look, the schoolhouse Is completely de stroyed." Could the children be sent to another commune for school? But how? they would answer. No horses? No motors? No. I was a bit insistent in one village and suggested that some room might be found where the schoolmaster could teach at least some of the children. They agreed It might be possible, but suggested in their turn that perhaps I hadn't thought of the difficulties—few rooms whole, no windowpanes, no furniture and no wood. Some villages received their food from the army, some went to the centers provisioned by the ambu lance. When asked how they car ried It back they answered simply, "In our arms." All the villages had unexploded shells In the town themselves and In the adjoining fields. Upon the answers te these ques tions and our observations depends the work of the government In deal ing with this situation. These are the practical things—the vital things of the moment. We are the envoys and we hope In helping to serve their table we lay the cloth with gn un derstanding and a sympathy that makes of the service a communion. The sun set behind the clouds as we turned back towards the city of Laon. A fog descended on the land of misery. It was difficult to see. Light seemed far away. It was hard to understand the meaning of it all— the death, the waste of all things. That sea of earth on the Chemin des Dames seemed so mighty, and to battle against It we have only the force of our spirit. It was sne of thoee moments when the spirit descends Into the depths, when I seemed conscious only of our Impotence against that sea which surrounded me. Then suddely from the heights of Laon above, a light shot forth. It steamed Into the sky, and broke In a shower of stars that fell on the earth. Darkness again. Then a red and burning light. Dark-, ness. A green ribbon rent the clouds* 1 CONFEREES AGREE ON TAXES IN BILL FOR WAR REVENUE House Accepts Senate's Rates on Luxuries and Semi- Luxuries Washington, Jan. IS.—Tax rates on luxuries, aemlluxurlea, amusement admlsalons and club duea were agreed upon yesterday by the Senate and House conferees on the war revenue bill. Virtually all of the Senate's rates on luxuries and semlluxurles were accepted by the House confer ees, Chairman Simmons, of the Sen ate managers, said. Rates In the House bill on amuse ment admissions In excess of 30 cents were adopted by the conferees, the Senate managers accepting the higher House rate, but reaching a compromise for retention of the Sen ate rate on admlsaions of 30 cents or less. Under the agreement, the amuseinen-t admission tax will be one cent on each 10 cents paid up to 30 cents and two cents on each dime paid In excess of 30 cents. The House rate of two cents on each ten cents paid for admissions to roof gardens, cabarets and similar establishments was adopted, as was the House rate of twenty-five per cent., Instead of the Senate rate of ten per cent., on theater boxes. Millions ia Amusements It is estimated that about $75,000,- 000 In revenue will bo secured annu ally from amusement admissions un der the conference agreement. The House rate of twenty per cent., on club dues, double the tax und?- existing law and estimated to raise about $9,000,000, also was adopted by the conferees. In disposing of the excise or semi luxury cases the conferees agreed to the Senate assessment of ten per cent, of the amount paid In excess of fixed standard prices by purchas ers of semiluxurles, such as carpets, picture frames, traveling bags, pook etbooks, umbrellas, fans, hats, shoes, stockings and other articles. Luxury Rate The luxury rate provides five per cent, taxes on manufacturers' sales of motor vehicles, tires and acces sories, pianos, talking machines, candy and similar articles; ten per cent, on athletic goods, liveries, furs, yachts and motorboats, and three per cent, on chewinggum and toilet soaps. Decisions on a few of the luxury taxes were tentative and those on some others were left open for fur ther consideration. To dispose of the miscellaneous and minor taxes In the bill, the conferees temporarily passed over the war ex cess profits and other important and contraverted sections. Pennsy Foundry men Get Eight-Hour Day; Among Last Employes Affected Practically nil employes In all de partments at Pennsylvania Railroad foundries are working on the eight hour day basis now, as result of a change affecting the moulders which was inaugurated yesterday. Owing to the lack of employes, It required more time to adjust this department in conformance to the elght-liour day ruling, from the fed eral railway administration. The moulders in various Instances, it is said, will be cut down from (SO to 170 monthly, by the introduction of the shorter working day. Notices to the foregoing effect were posted at the foundries recently. The men were expecting that they would be given curtailed time soon, but the cut in working hours came as a sur prise yesterday. Rotary Club Committee to Meet This Evening The Rotary Club committee ap pointed to provide methods to aid In the relief of the Children's Indus trial Home, and the Nursery Home, both of which were obliged to make heavy expenditures that almost ex hausted their year's appropriations during the influenza epidemic, will meet for organization this evening.

Soldiers were shooting off signals which were needed no longer. And, finally, at the end, a white and steady light that neither flicker ed nor changed. A light to guide us through the darkness. A light set on a hill. To me the Chemin des Dames will always have above It the aureole of that light. Only through the dark ness does one know the light. It Is because of this that the people In the valleys are facing the future. Per haps they know that beyond that human sea there Is a vision and a knowledge that the only thing over, which death and fate cannot prevail Is the light of a spirit. Out of waste and bleakness—out of desolation and loneliness—a light I And from the depths of thfct sea of death aems to come a cry: ' "Keep the light burning." ..
