NEW YOltlv, June S. Authority of Dl
rector General McAdoo to increase passen-
cer fares and freight rates on railroads
located wholly within this city or State,
without submitting su«'h proposed in-
creases to the State Public Service Com
mission is questioned b\ William L. Kan
ton, chief counsel for the rouimiasion of
the first district, iu an opinion made pub-
lic here tonight.
Director General McAdoo has announced
tbnt iucreased passenger rates will go into
effect June 10. and that freight tariff
Mould be advanced -5 per <ent on June 2."»,
the passenger increases affecting com
mutation rates in this State, against whh h
there have beeu many coninliiiuts.
"My view of the matter." says Hanson,
"is that no action lias been taken by Con- I
press or the President which authorizes
ihe Director General to initiate rates for
the ordinary course of intrastate transpor-
tation by any procedure other than that
•re.vribed by the State laws, or which
Muxfers to the Interstate Commerce Coin
ssion iu Washington the sole jurisdic-
n to regulate intrastates.
"The right and power of the Director
moral to supervise the operation of the
jailroads ami so to rehabilitate their prop-
erties, tiiat they will most efficiently per-
form the great tasks of wartime transpor-
tation Is most clear. The right au<l power
of the Director General, irrespective of
military necessities, to say to all passen-
gers and all shippers, even between points
whbliv within a State or a single city that
hereafter rates and fares need not be reas-
onable and remunerative according to the
familiar standards of existing statutes and
jut icial decisions, but that the basis of
rate making shall be the revenue needs ami
the taxation policy of the Federal ex-
chequer. is far from clear. 1 do not be-
lieve that the Supreme Court of the I'nlted
States would uphold such a delegation of
pow r by Congress." •

TAXES ON LUXURIES TO BE
INCREASED IN NEW BILL
By AuoclateA Presr
A.MSTRUDAM, June 8.—-News of the1
German ('-boat operations on th*» Ameri-
can coast receives page headlines in the
latest (rermau newspapers. The press takes
the occasion once more to launch its tirades
against the I'nlted States and its Presi-
dent and to endeavor to find some offset
f«»r the assembling of American hosts iu
France.
Despite the abuse by the German pa-
pers of Premier Clemeiiceau for the in-
spiration to France, he fiuds iu the com
iug of the Americans, their arrival is evi-
dently viewed with snytiilng but equan-
imity in Germany.
i'he Cologne Gazette concludes a violent
diatribe against America thus:
"It Is therefore only right and fair th it
we. too. make u>e of our war means aud
show the frieuds of humanity in their
homeland what war looks like and what
it means. Our 1 boats first visited the
American coasts for legitimate, peaceful
commerce. The North Americans may now
feel the fist of the war lord.
"They ueed not be surprised. He who
sows the wind reaps the whirlwind even
when he sits on the other side of the great
herring poud where he is under the de-
lusion that he Is safe from the storm."
The Cologne Volks Zeitung talks about
"those who are prosecuting a starvation
war against our wives and children hav-
ing revealed to them off their own coasts
the seriousness of war. when the uew
strategy of our I -boat which technically
Is becoming increasingly perfect, is also
directed against the other shore of the
Atlantic Ocean. This, iu view of the
character of our American opponent,
evokes on all sides the liveliest satisfac-
tiou amongst the German people."

have exulted over the fortitude, patience,
stoicism and patriotism displayed.
"Damned if these brave fellows don't
make you feel prouder than ever that you
are an American." remarked an army sur-
geon as he furled his sleeves to perform
the twentieth emergency operation that
morning.
"All you get out of them is the wish to
return to their outfit and fight some
more," continued the doctor. "I never saw
much spirit in my life. Oue chap, hardly
able to whisper, just now wanted ine to

the enemy is planning an assault In the
Woevre.
From a tactical point of view, the neigh
borhood of St. Mihiel with its sharp salient,
offers a logical place for u German attack.
A drive through St. Mihiel to the southwest
it is considered might have a triple ob-
ject-the menacing of Bar Le Due. the out
flanking of Verdun from the rear and the
elimination of the salient which lias its
apex at Verdun.
For the moment at least, perhaps per-
manently, the allies have stopped the enemy
at the Ma rue. Many engagements of a
tactical nature may be expected even If
the derma us decide it is useless to con-
tinue their efforts along the Marne and
elect to hit the allied line at other places.
The position of the railways and the
formation of the terrain northwest and
north of Bar Le Due offer the Germans an
opportunity, of course, what the future
holds for the American forces around St.
Mihiel is not known, but the salient there
is being discussed us a possibility not to
be lost sight of.
Another place whb h Is likely to see more
fighting is the sector around Montdldler,
where American troops recently captured
Cantlguy. Another important point at
which American trops are stationed is the
territory around Chateau Thierry. It may-
be considered certain that whatever the
future holds, the American forces undoubt
edly will participate in some hard fighting

Moscow Message Renews
Hopes of Russian Revival

General Summers had given much of his time has become one of the most
influential in Moscow. It numbers among its members most of the important
business people of the city.
Through its correspondents and the agents maintained by Mr. Summers
throughout Russia, the Chamber of Commerce also is a large factor in ill
Russian commercial affairs.
The telegram of today is believed to voice the universal fear among Russian
merchants and business men that if the country is submitted to German domi-
nation, they will be wiped out by the government fostered competition of the
German merchants. This fear is counted upon as one of the most important
