Recalls Fearful Battle.
Oi the Aisne front the present bat
tle ncalls the fearful fighting of last
sBoer along the Chemln des Dames.

prince hurled his men against the
French positions only to see them
crushed and beaten. Last year 75 di

Ktacks along this line alone. '
Line-Strengthening Move. . .
The attack here is really in the na
ture of a line-strengthening operation.
It is being launched from Leon as a
center and is aimed at the elbow In
the line formed during the fighting in
Picardy in March and April. Here,
however, the German must fae perma
nent works which have been occupied
by the French for long periods and
wnich can defended quite easily.
Allied Command Forewarned.
Evidence that the allied supreme
command was forewarned of the new

American Headquarters on the Brit
ish Front, Friday, May ' 24. (By ' the
Associated Press ); The work of the
new American army iii France is go
ing on with the greatest vigor, in all
weathers under the hot sun and along
dusty roads and in the drenching rain
through the French mud, the sticking
qualities of which the Americans' have
quickly learned.
The T British officers, commissioned
and non-commissioned, who are . in
structing the troops are -working quite
as hard as their pupils, and are finding
the new men .the "Yanks" as they
generally call them, as keen as were
the earlier arrivals. "They're quite
up to it." was the verdict of a kifted
Scotch instructor regarding the Amer
icans in his class.
The field schools, now largely given
over to American, pupils,, reresent the
highest perfection in institutions ' of
their class. The trenches, the tar
gets, the tactics and the methods of
Instruction are all the latest develop
ments of actual fighting experience.
In, every, area where the units of
the new army are quartered . the ' men
are ;mlnglihg freely . with jtheVTJirnjs
ihlesT and vire ; learntey -acinC fma
the greater experience of" the- British.
The latter, so prone .to give ra-Ttfa-miliar
name to eyerything, were puz
zled as to how to. deal with the new
comers, but they finally fell back on
the appellation, Tank, which . threat
ens, in this zone at least .to be. fixed on
the American whether they like it or
not- Thus far there have been no ob
jections. As fast as new units arrive and get
settled, hard training work is taken
up. The program differs little . from
that followed by the ' first divisions
that reached France. The men are
out on the road every day while large
contingents of the British instructors
have been distributed among the Brit
ish field schools, ' where the latest
points in tactics, trench fighting, gren
ade operations, musketry and bayonet
practice and machine gun fire are tak
ri up. i - r.
The American army man's pack in
this zone will ze lighter in his subse
quent training. It was found that
with some articles made necessary by
close co-operation with the British,
the pack ; had grown beyond practic
able dimensions for long marches. All
superfluities haVe now been removed
and everything else reduced to a min
imum t The effect is observable in the
lighter step and greater endurance of
the men.

increase would be , higher than
25 per cent- . . . l
Many changes and readjustments .
will be made by the railroad adminis- , .
tration either on its own initiative af
ter receiving -suggestions from ship
pers and state or local authorities,' or
by order of the Interstate Commerce
Commislson which has- power to re
view and modify , the schedules; , This
will not prevent the new rates frbm
going into effect, however passenger v
fares on June 10 and A freissht tariffs x
on June 26 for the commission today .
gave its approval to the rate order
without hearings. This . action was
perfunctory .and is not ' Intended i to
cutv off later complaints and hearings v - -on
them, r ': .'
State railroad or rate commissions
ave no authority to change the rates, ' .
the railroad administration holds,
even though many provisions of the 1
new-order 'more than double charges , .
for short hauls , within states. Ths .
director - general today explained in a
telegram to "chairman of state rommls- "
sionsr iiowever, that , he will welcome
Suggestions for readjustment of rates ,
on intrastate traffic and these will b.
referred "to the interstate, commerc
commission for its consideration in
passing oh specific complaints. tat.v
commissions, also .may enter formal .
protests direct to the Interstate Com
merce Commission. ,.'
These complaints are expected to re
sult In hundreds. of modifications af
fecting specific commodities or class
es, and rates betwec certain com
munities, but probably will not reduce
to -any great, extent the total revenue ,,'
to be derived from the sweeping in
creases which, is estimated at from
$800,000,000 to $900,000,000. . ,
The additional charges- musty event- , ;
ually be absorbed In, higher prices of
commodities, It was ' noted today by:
shippers Interests, and this effect may '
be noticeable .: particularly for coal,
brick, lumber, meats and. grain-and ;
for ;-naterials shipped to market only
a short distance. Analysis of the fiew
schedules showed that -for hauls of - .
from , five to fifty miles, ' particularly
in states which have their own intra
state classification rates, will be rais
ed In varying amounts ranging from '
25 to J 50 per .cent. . ' t . .
Some comfort for summer vacation- L;
ists was derived from assurances of
the railroad administration that ex
cursion rates would.be re-establianec!.
though on a higher basis. The direc
tor" general's' order provided for the
discontinuanle of all existing excur- .
sion rates and many other lower rates j
and special. passenger privileges. Lo- ,. '
cal excursion fares to summer resorts
will be raised generally about 20 per
cent. Long distance excursion rates
,in the east will be ten per , cent, less
than the regular three-cent rate. In
the west these fares will be approxi- .
mately 20 per cent above the existing
ing rather low rates. : .;
It was reported here during the day
that commercial travelers organiza- .
tions would protest against the three-.
cent "passenger rate which is from 1-2 - '
to 3-4 cent higher than present mile
age rates. They will ask, it was said,
for sale of mileage books at a low
er rate on the ground ' that they are ' '
