The 25 per cent freight rate increase order, issued some time ago by Director General McAdoo or the government railroad administration, will be materially modified for the pro tection of Pacific coast Industries before it goes Into effect the last of this month, according to the Interpretation put by the Oregon public service commission upon a telegriam received today from Max The- len, representative at 'Washington, D.

Thelen's telegram is in reply to. a message sent a few days ago by the Ore gon commission In which the suggestion was inade that the government and state commissions - cooperate in . determining the proportionate Increase in freight rates for the Northwest.

Order 28, mentioned in the telegram Is the 25 per cent increase order.

N. a) The latest German thrust, over a 21-ralle front, be tween Montdidier and Noyon. where tna Germans pressed forward at some places a distance of two and one half miles and to a greater depth at one point, found the French fully prepared. In his attack, which began on Sunday morning, the German crown prince hurled 17 divisions Into batUe as well as numerous reserve troops. , (A German division is estimated to consist of from 11,000 to 14,000 men.) The assault waa strongly supported- by i artillery and In preliminary cannonad-! lng the Boches used great Quantities of gas sheila. The first wave of gray-clad massea that lunged against the allied lines was mowed down by the defenders' machine guns. Throughout the -entire day tha fighting was very violent. The slightest German advance was on tha flanks, but in the center the Boches succeeded in pressing forward on a front of between two and three miles, penetrating the French salient. Tha French withdrawal there straightened their line. On the left the Germans reached Rubesesurt. La Fretnot and Mortemer. where they, were bald. - -;.
