ATLANTIC FLEET
FIRED BIG GUNS
The Atlantic Fleet returned to sea
again yesterday after spending a
week at Annapolis and last night
engaged in night firing off the Vir
ginia Capes.
The rumors that they were firing
because bodies of American soldiers
were being brought to Norfolk from
France seem to be unfounded. It ap
parently was just a part of the rou
tine practice that was all.

Says Concerted Action of
Chambers of Commerce And
Traffic Associations Brought
Freight Adjustment
Lorenzo I). Case, secretary of the
Elizabeth City chamber of commerce,
who has returned from a State-wide
meeting of the chambers of commerce
in North Carolina held in Raleigh
Tuesday, says:
"The freight re-adjust men t recent
ly made by the Interstate Commerce
, Commission, putting North Carolina
on an equal freight basis wi'u Virgin
ia cities, for which our North Caro
lina cities have been clannoring for
forty years was brought about by
concerted action on the par: of the
chambers of commerce and the I raf
fle associations of North Carolina.
"Organized effort started eighteen
months ago by these organizations
had such weight with the int'Ts ate
Commerce Commission, that that
body has at last consented to the re
adjustment of rates that have for
years been prejudicial to the cities in
North Carolina. The recent decision
of the I. C. C. knocks Virginia cities
,out of forty million dollars a year, and
we shall no longer hear of the Nor
folk and Richmond Gateway.
"But tlio victory is won for the
Carolina cities, the chambers of com
merce and the shoppers must keep
up an eternal vigilance lest the fruits
of victory be snatched from them, and
the ruling just made be of no effect."
As an outcome of the meeting of
ll i chambers of commerce on Tues
(1 iv at which 12 cities were repre
sintMl. it was unanimouly agreed
that ii federation of these organiza
tions Into a state body should ho
made. A l omniittte on organization
was appoiMed. to he made public at
a later day A meeting of the chain
lers of commerce of the state will he
held in Wilmington about the middle
f July at whii 'i a permanent State
organization will he made, and on!
which occasion Colvin Brown, secre
tary of the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States and other promin
ent men will, speak.
