The commission, in announcing the decision, said: "We are led to the conclusion that no condition of emergency exists as to the western and southern carriers which would justify permitting a gen eral increase in their rates to become effective. "In the eastern districts, increased rates have recently been permitted to become effective, generally on bitu minous coal, coke and iron ore. We think that similar increases may be permitted in the southern district on coal, coe and iron ore, and in the western district 011 coal and coke. "In the southern district, the pro posed increased rates on coal are on the basis of fifteen per cent. ith a maximum of fifteen cents a ton. These tariffs wa shall permit to be come effective. "In the western district, the in creases are based upon fifteen per cent with a minimum of fifteen cents per ton. These tariffs will be sus pended, but the western carriers may, if they so elect, file new tariffs car rying increases in rates on coal and coke not exceeding in any case fif teen cents per ton. "All of the tariffs included in this percentage of the western lines will ;e suspended. All of trie tariffs in cluded in this percentage of (he sou thern carriers will be suspended, ex cepting those applying on coal, coke and iron ore." The commission, in its decision, de clared its willingness to meet any situation which may arise in case the f?ar of the railroads of heavily de creased incomes are realized. The commission authorized roads to file tariffs increasing existing joint rates between rail and water carriers to a level no thigher than the all-rail rates between the same points. The commission declared its willingness to increase class rates between New York and Chicago, provided the car riers preserve established relation ship between port3 and localities. A-mountj ranging from eleven per cent on first class rates down to six per cent on sixth class rates will be permitted. Approximately twenty-five per cent of the freight tonnage in the eastern territory move under class rates, and the increases, officials estimated, will amount to perhaps a two or three per cent increase in gross revenue for eastern carriers. Mr. A. B. Saleeby goes to Shelby tomorrow morning at which place he will make three talks at big Baraci and Philathea union meeting. Pleasure must succeed to pleasure, Packages Tcday. This is the last day in whi-cl North Carolinians may have delivered to them liquor and beer, unless for medi cinal, sacramental or scientific pur poses, as the 118V Federal act for bidding the delivery of intoxicating liquors within this State, under the new FeHeral law wherebv it is un lawful to ship these beverages into prohibition states except for the purposes enumerated above. As a consequence of this thers have been many packages delivered in Salisbury within the paBt few das and many were the callers at the ex press office today. The great major ity of these were accommodated but some were disappo.nted in that th"ir pac.vage failed to show up. Just how tight the ne law will operate remains to be seen. It is said that blanks have already been receiv ed whereby whiskey and beer may be ordered under the new law, but to what extent these will be taken ad vantage of is yet unknown. It is safe to say, however, that the new law will cut off much of the shipping o fthese beverages into North Caro lina. People will be moie particular about observing the Federal law than they were to comply with the State laws in the matter of ordering and receiving intoxicants.

PATROLLING COAS South American Republic Joins the United States in Hunt for Haiders and Submarines. NO FORMAL DECLARATION OF WAR ANNOUNCED. Every Care Being Exercised Not to Offend Argentine, That Country Remaining Neutral. BRAZIL IS ACTIVE IN THE BIG I ItJHT. F RENCH CRUStER twm;mm if, ; v X mi 1 1 L I SUNK BY A IN Wellington, June 30. Bra zil'x navy has begun active co operation with the American fleet in the South Atlantic in hunting down Cermun raider and looking for mibinarincH. The mutter of sending out a commission for arranging a closer co-ordination of forces and co-opernlion between the two governments is being contemplated. (By Associated Press.) Washington June III). - Without a formal declination of war Brazil thim practically joins tlie United States against Germany. C jirv.-ident with the inauguration of Brazilian naval operations a plan for nroteetinar mcrchnnt shins in voy ages to allied ports wit'i frozen met and other foodstuffs has been put in to effect. Whether Brazil will supplement this action by a formal declaration of war is not known and bv some offi cials such action is regarded ax doubt ful because the governrm'nt of Rin Janeiro regards defensive rather than aggi essive. The Brazilian navv is the largest of the South American group and in connection with tie American fleet commanded by Admiral Cajerton it is relieved the work of keeping the South Atlantic clear of enemy craft will be greatly facilitated. It is not the intention of the Bra zilian government to use the naval patrol in the waters off Argentine ecause she des-res not to mve of fense to the government of Argen- ine, and Gritish wai snips are oper ating near Falkland Islands off the Argentine coast. Hose is still felt at the State De partment that the Argentine govern ment may yet join the war for world emocracy. M 0' .

One of the most interesting sec tions of the European fighting fronts now is the Verdun region where seri ous violent German attacks are tak ing place. Whether these assaults are anything more than demonstra tions on a large scale it is difficult to make out from official reports. Nev ertheless it is clear the German Crown Prince, foiled a year ago in a prolonged attempt to tne the famous French stronghold, is again deliver ing blows of force and magnitude on its defens.es and has made some im pression on the French lines assailed. Tie German attack began day be fore yesterday. The first drive was on Hill :!0t northwest of Verdun, one of the commanding defenses which has protected Verdun on the western ly side of the Mouse. Yesterday a blow apparently of as great force was delivered in the region of Dead Man's Hill, the second of the tower ing imminences rn this region. in either case, the report of the defend-1 ers show, anything more 'than the I first line trenches were penetrated, j (ienei.il I'elain s forces last night got back most of the trenches lost the day before on Hill M04. In Dead Man's Hill sector the Gertnans car ried the Jine on the entire front at tacked about a mile and three-quarters but the French' reaction drove them out of the trenches there ex cept on the west slope of the hill. Te offensive tendency of the Ger mans under the Crown Prince is alsD evidenced on the Ainse front where they attacked with violence in the vicinitv of Cerny. They were driven back with terrific losses yesterday in the latter region ;.ut succeeded last ni:jht by blowing the French position to pieces and employing liquid fire in an attack on the salient French posi tions nort'ieast of Cerny. On the British front in Northern France the Germans are still on the back trac.. The official resume of the fighting yesterday in the Lens re gion shows the British to have bitten heavily in the German held territory, advancing more than a mile on faur mile front. This operatin carried the British line well into the south of the coal city but Germany was still clinging to the place itself through the strength of the defenses in the sli ent immediately to the west but flanking movements were making tenure more and more untenable each day under additional pounding from the British guns.
