opinion concerning a basis for the
reasonableness of rates.
He appeared In opposition to
forty-one western railroads' plea that
they be permitted to increase rates on
certain commodities, which, the rail-
roads say, are necessary to yield them
a fair income on their investments.
Mr. Jurgensen quoted the appraisals
of the roads Involved in Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Nebraska, South Dakota
and part of Michigan, and said the
capitalization exceeded the present
book value of the properties. He con-
tended that therefore the reasonable-
ness of rates should not be computed
upon a basis of the outstanding stocks
und bonds.
"The outstanding capital stock and
bonded debt of the roads involved In
these states averages $56,198 a mile
of main roadway and average a mile
of all tracks of $39,932," said Mr. Jur-
gensen.
"Contrasted to this the book cost, as
shown by the reports of the railroads
is $51,398 a mile of main roadway or
$36,576 a mile for all trackage. The
book cost is $139,093,000 less than the
outstanding capital stock and funded
debt. The actual depreciated book
cost is $455,333,000 less than the out-
standing stocks and funded debt."
Concerning the various methods
adopted by the railroads in charging
depreciation, Mr. Jurgensen said the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
charged for depreciation to locomo-
tives 7.27 to 7.7 8 per cent, whereas it
should charge only 3.16 per cent, and
'the Chicago, Hock Island and Pacific
charged 0.16 to 0.22, whereas it should
charge S.02 per cent.
"What is the effect on making a
wrong calculation as to depreciation?"
asked H. A. Edgerton, assistant attor-
ney general of Minnesota.
"The Burlington," answered the
witness, "would charge a greater sum
to operating expenses and thereby re-
duce its net earnings, but the Bock
Island would charge less to operating
expenses and thereby increase its net
earnings."
Mr. Jurgensen said the railroads
charged too much to general expendi-
tures averaging 9 to 15 per cent,
whereas the general average In the
state, he cited, was 2.95 per cent.
C. C. Wright, counsel for the rail-
roads, asked the witness questions in-
tended to show that single track large-
ly has been considered and In states
where double tracks were used no cal-
culations had been made. In the
South Dakota figures, the witness said,
no allowance had been made in the
valuation of the Chicago and North-
western for a new station In Chicago,
although the station building alone,
applied to the entire railway, would
add about $2,000 a mile to the cost
of the road.
Suffocated.
To the grouchy looking person who
had boarded his car the conductor
said as he returned him his transfer:
"This transfer expired ten minutes

Whereupon, with a growl, the man
dug for a nickel and as he handed
it to the conductor observed:
"No wonder, with not a single ven-
tilator open in the whole car."—Har-

CHILE'S PROTEST ON
DREOSEN INCIDENT
OFFICIAL REPORT ON SINKING
OF GERMAN CRUISER IN
NEUTRAL WATERS.
WASHINGTON, April I.—Details of
the attack on the German cruiser
Dresden In Chilean waters by a Brit-
ish squadron were officially received
by the United States government today
with Information of the character of
the representations recently made by
Chile to the British government over
the Incident.
It was revealed for the first time
here that the Dresden was about to
be interned by the Chilean government
for over-staying the limit of twenty-
four hours granted to her, when the
British cruisers Glasgow and Kent and
the auxiliary cruiser Orama opened
fire. According to the official report
of the Chilean government, when the
Dresden put into Cumberland Bay
within 500 yards from shore and ask-
ed for eighty days lu which to repair
her engines, the maritime governor of
Juan Fernandez island did not agree,
but gave the vessel a certain time limit
within which to depart. After the ex-
piration of that time he communicat-
ed to the Chilean government that
with its approval he would immediate-
ly Intern the vessel. In the meantime
the British cruisers arrived and the
maritime governor was about to go
aboard the British cruiser Glasgow
when ho was obliged to turn back, he
reported, on account of the broadside
she sent toward the shore.
The report adds that the white flag
was run up on the Dresden and word
was sent to the British commander
that the attack was being made in ter-
ritorial waters. As that failed to stop
the attack the German captain blew
up his own ship. When the German
captain and crew reached Valparaiso
they were interned. The Gorman gov-
ernment protested that they should be
given their liberty since they were
held to be in the same category as
shipwrecked sailors, but the Chilean

mans were being interned for violating
neutrality In over-staying the time
limit given them for repairs.
It Is understood that the British
government already has shown a dis-
position to make reparation to Chile
for the Incident, although what form
the reparation will take Is not known
here.

OFFICIAL REPORT ON PROGRESS
OF ALLIED TROOPS IN
WESTERN THEATRE.
LONDON, April J.—The official
British observer with the French army
In his latest report which wax Issued
tonight, compares the results achiev-
ed by the French offensive In Cham-
pagne with the objects with which the
operations were undertaken. The ob-
jects, he says, were to keep a constant
pressure on the German first line de-
fenses, In order to affect the use by
the Germans of the railway from
Baaancourt to Challerange and to
wear down their reserves of men and
ammunition.
"As regards the first object," says
the report, "the pressure continued for
thirty-one days with the result that
the enemy had lost the fortified area
which he had been holding and con-
tinually strengthening for five months.
His use of the Challerange and Bazan-
court line has not been materially af-
fected for although at certain points
It is within range of the French guns,
he can without difficulty continue to
run the train required for the main-
tenance of the corps on that part of
the front and the Junction at Chal-
lerange Is secure.
"The using up of his reserves has
been achieved In a very marked man-
ner. At the beginning of the opera-
tion there were some eighteen regi-
ments in that part of the line. At its
conclusion thirty-three have been
identified. Fifteen that had been call-
ed up to withstand the French offen-
sive were drawn from many parts of
the German line, which Indicates that
the enemy has ho central reserves that
he can call upln in case of emergency.
"As regards ammunition: The Ger-
man artillery has practiced economy
which Is unusual with them. On many
days they made no effort to keep
down the fire of the French guns al-
though this meant heavier losses for
their Infantry In the trenches. This

showed clearly that their supply of
ammunition was not all they could
have wished and an extra expenditure
may well have made Itself felt In the
amount available on all parts of the
German front.
"Two valuable lessons therefore
have been ^earned from these opera-
tions. The first Is that the German
front can be pierced. There were mo-
ments both In Champagne and Neuve
Chappelle when the way was open,
when nothing more formidable than
the weak resistance of sorely tried
troops faced the attackers and it does
not follow because the hole was clos-
ed before advantage could be taken
of It, that this will be the case every
time.
"The second lesson learned Is that
a serious attack on one point has an
effect on the enemy's plans and fight-
ing power at every other point The
British attack at Neuve Chappelle re-
duced the enemy's chances of a big
success at St. Elol. The French at-
tacks at Perthes helped the British at-
tack at Neuve Chappelle and both
these assisted the Russians to with-
stand the German offensive In the
eastern theatre."
Speaking of the Inspection by Gen-
eral Joffre, the French commander-
in-chief, of several divisions which
had been through the entire fighting,
the observer says:
"You must not forget that these di-
visions had been brougnt up to
strength sometimes almost re-organ-
ized, after each of their attacks, of
which they carried out several during
the last thirty days. What we really
are looking at Is the French system
of reinforcements and the system
which keeps army corpsi not only up
to their strength but up to their full
standard of fighting efficiency. It Is
one which plainly is answering well.
"There Is an Idea In many circles
that French has a number of army
corps or divisions somewhere In the
background ready to be thrown Into
the fighting when the great day of
victory Is at hand. This Idea should
be dismissed. All the army corps of
France are fighting and her reserves
will enable them to keep fighting and
fighting hard so long as the war con-
tinues."

great photoplay a loading motion pic-
ture Journal says: "Grace Cunard and
Francis Ford have produced many
stirring melodramas and romantic fea-
tures, but In 'The Phantom of the Vio-

"I call him father," was the reply.
"Well; what does your mother call

The response was eloquent of the
