The In terstate Commerce commission today granted a portion of the freight rate Increases asked by the western rail roads and refuted to sanction others. The advances which tho roads are allowed are comparatively small. On the items which would have netted the greatest revenue the increases were denied. On the ground that their income was too low the roads asked for in creases in carload rates on commodi ties, but did not ask for any uniform advances. Their program would have increased their income approx imately $10,000,000 a year. The majority of the commission In re fusing the principal Increases, took the view that, some of the roads which were In straits suffered from bad management and financial operations. Commissioners Daniels and Rarlan, the minority, agreed with all the Increases granted, contended that others should have been allowed and held that Improper financial management should not debar the roads from receiv ing reasonable rates for service. The decision affecta all the roada weat In the United States.

General sir Ian Hamilton reports from the Dar denelles that the area held by the entente allies in tbe Ansae ton on the Gallipoli peninsula has been nearly trebled.

The losses among them, however, he as serted, already had been very heavy. ' LONDON, Aug. 11. Recognition of the imperative Importance to the al lies of forcing the Dardanelles, as the short road to retrieving Russian roversea and regaining the Initiative now In the hands of Germany, It demonstrated amply by the sudden landing of British forces in the vicin ity of Karachall, on the north of the Gulf of Saros, and resumption of the oirenslve, both at the southern end of the Gallipoli peninsula and north of Gaba Tepe. treasrthe Posltloa.

Coming at this time, when there la ao mUch discussion whether Oermany Will attempt to crush Serbia preparatory to linking forces with Turkey by way ol Ihilgarla, these developments at the Dar danellee assume a special Importance. A yet thero is no proof that tha Oer mans have withdrawn or are preparing to withdraw any considerable proportion of their forces from the eastern front On the contrary, the offensive which led to tbe fall of Warsaw, has not been relaxed and the position of tha retiring Russians la etlll perilous.
