BURLESON ASKS
RATE BE ACCEPTED
Postmaster General Says Tele
phone Company Will Get No
Additional Money.
Salem, Nov. 21. A telegram received
today by the public service commission
from A. 8. Burleson, postmaster gen
eral, requests the commission to. accept
the increased telephone rates as if they
had been regularly tiled with the com
mission. The message clearly Indicates that
Postmaster General Burleson has no in
tention of withdrawing the rates and if
the commission continues its protest
against the Increase it probably will
fore to Issue the question of whether
the government or the staie has control
ver the telephone rates within Oregon.
Wast Rates Accepted
Without at this time going into the
question of the power of the postmaster
general to fix rates," says Burleson's
message In conclusion, "I should be very
glad to have your cooperation and to
have you consider as regularly prepared,
presented and filed before your com
mission the schedule of Increase In rates
to which you refer, In order that there
may be no interruption in the service
or loss to the government in operating
the same, and that the employes may
not be deprived of the increase in wages
already made."
This message Is in reply to a telegram
sent to Burleson by the commission in
which the commission quoted the order
it has Issued declaring the Increase in
telephone rates to be of "no force and
effect."
Flans "ot Made Known
It seems evident that Burleson does
not recognize the authority of the com

mission's order and expects the increase
fin rates to remain in effect.. Just what
action the commission will now take is
not known, as Chairman Miller and
Commissioner Buchtel are out of town
and Commissioner Corey said he would
await their return before any statement
would be made. Burleson's message
says :
"In October I was advised by the
company that the employment situation
in your territory was serious, and par
ticularly in Seattle, Portland and Ta
coma was critical, and on account of
resignations from operating force short
age and inexperience of new employes
the service had become very poor and
subject to public criticism. A proposed
rate schedule was at the same time sub
mitted which was calculated to produce
additional revenue Just sufficient to
meet about what was "estimated to be
the amount to cover absolutely neces
sary and just wage increase In your
state.
Company Gets 2fo Xaerease
"Assuming the correctness of these
figures the company had my approval
to the filing of the schedule with your
commission, and under my order No.
1931, which schedule I was advised
would become effective automatically in
10 days unless a hearing was ordered
by the commission.
"Later I understood that this schedule
had been filed with your commission
on November 4 to become effective No
vember 15 and that no hearing had been
ordered by the commission. Thereupon
on November 15 I directed that the
rates be put Into effect1. I knew noth
ing of the form in which the application
was presented to you nor the letter
to which you refer from Mr. Carey,
but assumed that proceeding before your
commission were regular and in ac
cordance with my said order.
"I may add that compensation by the
government for the use of this tele
phone property has been fixed by con
tract and the eompany has absolutely
no interest in the increase in rates other
than as agent of this department in see
ing that the revenues are sufficient to
meet the charges against the govern
ment and afford a. fair wage to the
operatives."
Mayor Sends Telegram
Relative to the controversy over tele
phone rates Mayor Baker has sent a
telegram to Postmaster General Burle
son saying :
"We trust that you will refuse to
approve any increases unless the com
pany complies with legal requirements."
The telegram further quoted the pub
lic service commission as authority for
the statement that the proposed rates
would yield a sum several hundred
thousands of dollars in excess of all
requirements to meet wage increases.
PETAIN DESERVES RANK
OF MARSHAL FOR SERVICE
(Continued From Pica One)
few days his new army could accept his
watchword, "They shall not pass," and
make it their own. From February 26
onward, the German advance was slow
and In the aggregate Inconsiderable.
Petain's strategy was to hold the Ger
mans, selling to them such parcels of
ground as he could spare at tremendous
cost to them until the Somme offensive
could be prepared, until the great new
British army could get ready for it;
first offense of real magnitude.

All this was done, and thereafter

bid for a decision In the west wat
wrecked on the hills which have later
witnessed , the first successes of oui
own young army. And when the danger
was passed, Petain organized two of
fensives which in a few hours deprived
the Germans of all they had spent
months to acquire at a cost of hundred
of thousands of casualties.
Nothing- in French history is finer
than the. story of Verdun,xand Petain
was the soul as well as the brain of
that epic.
After Verdun the politicians chose a
lieutenant of Petain's to replace Joffre,
grown old and weary. It was an
unhappy choice, and Nlvelle's great fall
ure at the Alsne in April and May of
1917 for the moment shook the morah
of the French army, nd the French
nation.
France Again Tarns to Petain
Once more France turned to Petain
and this time he repeated his Verdun
achievement on a vast scale. He re
stored confidence, discipline ; be trans
formed the situation in such fashion tha'
in a few months he was able to win a
new victory at Verdun, and a shinim
success at the Alsne in taking Fort Mal
maison. The full fruits of his labors were re
vealed in the fashion in which the
French army was rushed to the rescue of
the situation In Picardy last spring,
after the defeat of the fifth British
army and while the Germans threatened
to separate the French from the British.
A finer feat than that of Fay.olle's forces
can hardly be recalled In all this war.
From that moment onward Petain suf
fered by rapid expansion of the reputa
tion of Foch. That the allied com
mander in chief was the greater soldier
probably will be the judgment of his
tory. That he owes much to the loyal
and competent aid of Petain Is unmis
takable. That they worked in complete
harmony at all times Is a tribute to
the patriotism of each.
Others Also Deserve Batons
It may be that Foch, Joffre and Pe
tain will be the only marshals of France
created by this war. If there are addl-;
tions, one may hope to see included the I
name of Castelneau, who saved Nancy

and made the Marne victory possible in
1914;- who dared to risk a stand at
Verdun, after the, first ' German suc
cesses, and selected Petain to go to the
Imperilled front and defend the Meuse
fortress. And if Castelneau receives his
baton, an equal claim may be urged for
Franchet D'Esperey. whose army de
feated that of Buleow at the first
Marne, and shared in the later long
campaigns In France. Subsequently, it
was D'Esperey who won the recent vic
tory of the Vardar in the Orient and
smashed Bulgaria and Mitteleuropa at
a single blow. There remains Mangln.
the Ney of the present struggle, who at
Verdun, and in all the recent battles,
revealed the spirit of his great Napole
onic predecessor, "The Bravest of the
Brave." It is an evidence of how far
France of today is from the other and
less splendid time, that there is no longer
fear of "a man on horseback," and no
Frenchman can hesitate to do honor' to
his victorious general, lest one of them
seize the opportunity to repeat the Na
poleonic example.
Soi Has Selfish Ambition
No one of the three marshals of France
can be suspected of the smallest selfish
ambition. They are men of a different
stripe. Moreover, when all Is said and
done, magnificent as are the achieve
ments of the soldiers, that of the civilian
and republican Georges Clemenceau sur
passes the glory of the soldiers. With
out Clemenceau not even Foch could
have saved France, and brought the
ever memorable German capitulation at
Senlis.
