THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, AUGUST 3, 1914. EXPERTS' REPORT AWAITED Interpretation or Commission's Rul ing- Probably to Determine turn ber. Coal. Coke, Grain Prob ably to Be Involved Mainly. CHICAGO. Aug. 2. (Special.) The decision of the Interstate commerce Commission in the Eastern rate case clears the way for a similar application by railroads operating west of the Mis sissippi River, n Alle the executive 01 flclals of the Western roads are not en couraged by the result obtained in the Kast it was generally asserted tnat an aDDlicatlon will be made to the Com mission for an increase on all Western lines. Numerous conferences have been held during the past several months by the railroads interested, although no aen nlte plan of procedure has been worked out and adopted. it is generally oe lieved that most stress will be placed upon the fact that many commodities in the Western territory do not pay their proportionate share of railroad expenses. That fact had been admitted by business interests in various sec tions and it may be possible for the railroads to file schedules which will equalize commodity and certain class rates and give the roads the lncreasea Income desired. Report of Experts Awaited. It has been said by several railroad presidents recently that a petition for advanced rates would be filed by West ern roads no matter what might be the decision In the Eastern case, it was generally agreed that action would be deferred until rate experts couia ana lvze the Commission's ruling. By fol lowing the suggestions contained in the Eastern decision, the Western roads believe that they can obtain a more favorable action, and the granting of the full 5 per cent in the Central Freieht Association territory nas given the Western roads encouragement in the belief that the low rates in certain portions of Western United States will be advanced. Several of the trunlc lines have dis cussed the possibility of a demand for a flat 10 per cent increase, but no gen eral agreement has been obtained upon that proposition. The plan backed by several of the companies is to advance the rate on lumber, coal, coke, grain and other commodities without disturb ing the present differentials. President Ripley, of the Atchison, To peka & Santa Fe, said he favored a re quest for advanced rates. "The Western roads have their own troubles to solve," he said. "Our terri tory is entirely different and the class of service furnished at wide variance from that in the Eastern states so there can be little connection between our position and that of the Eastern roads, beyond the general assertion, which ap pears to me to be unquestionable, that the roads need more revenue." Advance In General Favor. President Miller, of the Burlington, and President Mudge. of the Rock Is land, have at different times outlined the subject in the same vein and it is reasonable to suppose that schedules covering the proposed advance will be filed within the near future. It is said that the Western roads will work together in the same man ner as the Eastern lines did. Just who will head the committee of Tallroad men which will handle the roads' case has not been announced. The commit tee will have a representative of each of the large Western lines and the ex pense will be adjusted between the lines. It is understood that each of the trunk lines has signified its wil lingness to co-operate. A schedule of charges for special service also will be fiied with the ap plication for increased rates. This schedule will conform to the Commis sion's ruling and will cover such serv ices as stopping in transit, storage, ter minal handling, spotting of cars, and the like. It is generally expected that the start of the work will be made by the West ern trunk line committee, of which E. B. Boyd is commissioner. This com mittee represents the companies oper ating out of Chicago In trunk line terri tory, and the greater number of com modity rates, which it is desired to ad vance, are based upon the classification made here. The consensus among railroad men is that the petition for the Western ad vance will be filed In time for the Com mission to begin hearings soon after the Summer vacation period ends. WAR 0VERR0AD GROWS West St. Helens Folk Would Recall Court and Commissioners. ST. HELENS, Or., Aug. 2. (Special.) Another turn In the St. Helens-West St. Helens dispute over the location of the Columbia Highway at those places was taken this week, when petitions for the recall of the County Court were started at West St. Helens. The differences between the State Highway Commission and the local au thorities were settled when it was agreed the road would pass through St. Helens, but that the survey to be adopted would course through West St. Helens. Now, because the first use of the highway will be through St. Helens by the present road and not across un opened lots in West St. Helens, citizens of West St. Helens are seeking to re call the County Court and Commis sioners. Petitions are being circulated here and in Rainier. GRANGE URGED TO AID FAIR Officers Tell Organization Members Their Support Essential. FAIRVIEW. Or., Aug. 2. (Special.) President H. A. Lewis and Secre tary E. L. Thorpe, of the Multnomah County Fair Association, addressed Fairview Grange yesterday afternoon in behalf of the county fair, which will be held in Gresham September 15-19. Fairview Grange will make a special exhibit of women's work in connection with its regular competitive exhibit Mr. Lewis pointed out that the fair wis dependent largely on the action of the Granges of Multnomah County, and he urged aggressive action on the part of all Granges of the county.

Archduke Frederick, who succeed ed Archduke Francis Ferdinand, when he was assassinated, as Commander-in-chief nf the Austrian armv. is directing the movements of the Austrian s in their invasion of Servia. The Archduke was formerly Inspector-General FRANCE HAS GRUDGE Attitude Toward Germany At tributed to Revenge. AST HUMILIATION IS CITED Lieutenant Von Makdych, of Aus trian Reserves, Thinks French Unprepared and Shows Why England Should Be Neutral. BY LIEUTENANT VON MAKDTCH, of the Austrian Reserves. The action of France did not come unexpectedly, as certain as Germany could be depended upon to come to the assistance of Austria, France would take sides with Russia in order to get a chance to avenge its defeat at Ger many's hands in 1870-1871. No other conclusion could be drawn. France will now have a chance to provie its claim as a world power or go down forever as a military factor. Just how much France is prepared to take up arms against Germany at this time and the condition its army is in, per haps will interest many not familiar with military matters. The answer can best be gathered from a speech delivered by Senator Humbert, ex-member of the general taff of the French Army, at Paris last July. In his speech Senator Hum bert said that the condition of the army was alarming, and brought out facts in proof of his contention, which the Minister of War. Messlmy, could not contradict. Humber severely criti cised the management of the army and specifically pointed to the fact that the German artillery was far su perior to that of the French army and that in case of a conflict the pros pects of the republic were none too rosy. He also showed that the forti fications on the German border were old and in a dilapidated condition and that the millions spent in trying to Improve them were wasted. Clemen- eau concurred with him and added that the situation was extremely grave. From this and other reliable informa WAR LORD OF GERMANY LONGREADY FOR CRISIS Prediction Made Years Ago by Old Would Be Felt Throughout World WHATBV1SK way me scale may swing in counterbalancing of nowers in Europe at present, the remendously energetic character of Wilhelm II, the greatest of the Hohen- ollerns and the Emperor whose genius for a quarter of a century has been making Germany ready for Just such a crisis as she faces now, will stand forth as one of the great, dominant forces back of the events of the period. This young Hohenzollern will con siderably outshine all his predecessors on the throne," predicted the Russian Chancellor, Gortschakoff, when Wil helm was yet a child. "He will be the mainspring of Germany and his Influ- nce will be felt tnrougnouc me world." Time and time again the energetic statesman and ruler has vindicated the iudement of the old Chancellor, ancT again at the present day he stands in a position when his genius seems like- v to be tested and exempnnea as never before in his life. Military Affairs His Forte. Military affairs have ever been his passion, and it is he who built up the great fighting macnine oi sea muu land that today makes Germany so for midable. "We belong to one anotner. i and the army," he said in his first proc- amation as the Kaiser to tne army. Thus were we born for one another; and firmly and inseparably we will hold together, whether it be God's will to give us peace or storm. Wilhelm II alwaya has been fear less and self-reliant. He was educat ed in the public schools of the empire, and the democratic atmosphere into which he was thrown developed still more potently this natural fearlessness and self-reliance. His determination and his ability to ; H of Troops and Commander or in tion it is apparent what degree of success the French people can expect from its army, unless the Almighty will come to its rescue. The fact, however, that in spite of the unpre paredness of its army the government has decided on war, again shows that the French people are not able to for get the loss of Alsace and Lorraine to Germany 44 years ago. Perhaps the most important ques tion in the impending struggle is the position England will take in deciding the issue. Will England rally to the Franco-Russian banner? A negative answer would suggest itself for vari ous reasons. First, should Russia, through the aid of France and England, defeat Germany It would at once be come the predominant power in con tinental Europe, Asia and part of Africa. England knows too well that once Russia decided to annex Persia, India and China, the thought of old friendship or gratitude for receiving aid and assistance in time of need would not prevent it from carrying out its desire. Second, England well re members that had it not been for Ger many preventing it Russia would be in possession of Persia this day, but on account of Germany's attitude Rus sia did not dare to force the conquest to an issue. And third, as a highly civilized nation Great Britain realizes that humanity would not gain any thing if, victorious, Russia would be come the predominant power of Eu rope and that it is far more advan tageous to have Germany as a real live competitor than Russia as a re tardation to progress and civilization. Neutrality of England Suggested. England will and must remain neu tral in the interest of its own good and cannot afford to make Germany its enemy without any sufficient recom pense in view. Aside from these facts England Is none too harmonious at home at this time and has its hands full without borrowing more trouble. Should the worst happen, however, and the English people decide to take a hand In the conflict. Germany will be able to so situate its fleet that it will be immune from attacks from without and once vlc.tory is attained on land perhaps will surprise the world where it is least expected.

The Iron Duke, who had been King-maker and empire-builder, quick ly came into controversy with the strong-willed Emperor. As a result the Iron Duke resigned and his resigna tion was accepted. Since that time there has been no question in any time who was the head and the ruler of the German empire or who had the power to plan and direct its destinies. Ruler Moot Versatile. In the midst of his great military schemes and his far-reaching diplo matic enterprises, Wilhelm II has delved deeply into every phase of the art and life of his people and has tried his hand with more than novice skill at painting, playwright work, compos ing, as an art critic, as a plain sailor, as a hunter and in innumerable other fields of activity. "As for woman kitchen, church and children are her sphere," was his way of disposing of the feminist movement when he encountered it. This sentiment he has never retracted, although fem inist advocates have challenged loudly. There is nothing of feminism in the present condition In Europe. There Is nothing feministic in the sound of marshaling armies and the clatter of arms. It is a supremely masculine move ment, a sudden bursting of the sprout ing dragon's teeth through the sod that hundreds of writers and thinkers of the present day have plowed and prepared for millenlal peace. And Kaiser Wilhelm II, the war lord of Germany, the incarnation of mascu line thought, masculine pugnacity and masculine desire to dominate, is and will be one of the great outstanding figures lu the drama that is enacting. e itoyai reserves oi nungary. TEUTON HERO OFTEN August Ohlhoff, Veteran Two German Wars. of IRON CROSS WORN BY HIM Warrior Who Went Through Franco- Prussian Combat and Battles of 1866 Is Portland Resident. Many Decorations Won. Veterans of the German wars, and there are about 90 in the city, were naturally discussing the war news yes terday with the greatest interest. Among them all none watched the de velopments of the day more closely than August Ohlhoff, a veteran of the Franco-Prussian War, as well as of the War of 1866. Mr. Ohlhoff is the only man in Port land who wears the iron cross, given him by order of the. Emperor. This is what the Victoria Cross is to the British soldier and is the highest dis tinction that can be conferred. "I can hardly believe that the war will really be commenced," said Mr. Ohlhoff last night. "We will have some big advantages, however, if it does come quickly. The Russians can not concentrate so quickly as the Ger man army and our roads and railways are in better condition than the Kus sian. "Russia must bring three distinct armies, one against Sweden and 1 In land to hold them back, one against Germany and another against Austria August Ohlhoff, Veteran of Two f German Wars, t i.. ........... ........ In contrast to this, Germany can con centrate her forces and strike within 24 hours, which will mean a big ad vantage. War Termed Criminal. "The Belgians and Dutch will con centrate along their borders only to guard their frontiers. Russia's navy is all new, but small and of little ac count. "I think it is criminal that such a band of cut-throats as the Servians should precipitate such a general war." It was 44 years ago. almost to a day, recalled Mr. Ohlhoff. that the first bat tle of the Franco-Prussian War was fought, the engagement at Woerth be ing fought August 3. 1870. The Crown Prince fought this battle, which took place in Alsace, then a French prov vlnce, and resulted in a German victory. Mr. Ohlhoff won the iron cross August 16. 1870, in the battle of Mars la Tour, when he brought back the flag that had been shot down. The Prussian infantry, in which he was an officer, lost 2200 officers and men in two hours and a half. 'Of the 69 offi cers, 49 were lost, of whom 29 were killed. Veteran Has Many Medals.
