French Admit Germain Gains On
 Mouse


 BORDEAUX. Sept 26.-The French war office this morning announced that the Germans had made gains on the River Mouse, having carried the heights on the right bank and were pushing forward with some evi- dence of speed but that they had been prevented from crossing the river and were operating only on the right bank.
 Achievements Sent To French.
 Strong achievements have been sent from the reserve army to the new point of attack and the German gain has not resulted in weakening the allies attack on the German right under von Kluck as was hoped by the German general staff.
 Won kluck Still Holds Them Back. The German right still defies the combined British and French armies operating against it in spite of the fact that the allies have received strong endorsements and have more men than the German commander.

 Germans Pounding Allies Right. While the allies are assaulting von Kluck's positions the Germans have taken the offensive on the allies right and are driving attack after attack at the French line between Verdun and Foul. The Germans have made every effort to break through the al- lies line at these points but without success. The French border forts have been absolutely impregnable al- though the German big Krupp siege guns have been pounding away at them since September l.
 No Help for Stricken British Ships.
 The admiralty today announced that hereafter when British warships are attacked by submarines the con- manders of other vessels will not at- tempt to aid the ship attacked be- cause of the danger that more ships will be lost, as was the case few days ago in the North Sea when two cruisers which went to assist the first boat hit wore themselves de- stroyed by the underwater fighting vessel. &
 Can Do No Good.
 It is pointed out that big ships can be of no assistance against the sub- marines and that the smaller vessels must be depended upon to protect the fast going cruisers or expensive bat tleships, because they can do as much with the small guns against submarine as can the big ships, and in the event of failure the loss will be- considerably less.

 The allies must crush the German command of General von Boehm, who has the position at the angle where the German army swings into Bel gium. It is the only chance of the allies to force the Germans to leave the strongly fortified positions they now occupy becausee their commun- ication with Belgium and Germany through Liege will be cut and forc- ed retirement will then be necessary

MUST HAVE RAISE
George Stuart Patterson, Gen.
eraI Solicitor of Pennsylvania
Lines, Argues Before Inter
state Commerce Commission.

WASHINGTON, oct. %. - There
was something fundamentally wrong
with the railroad inquiry even before
the great European war broke out ac-
cording TO George Stuart Patterson,
general solicitor OF the Pennsylvania
railroad, who argued in behalf of the
rail lines before the interstate COM
merce commission in the rate advance
case. Proof Of this can be found, Mr..
Patterson said. in the fiscal year end
ing, June. 1914.
THE carriers do not urge that the
commission should grant the relief
which is asked for as a matter
OF grace, declared MIR. Patterson.
The carriers recognize that it is the
function OF the commission to de-
termine reasonable rates in all cases.
The interstate commerce commits
sion estimated in its former decision
in the rate advance case that the 30
railroad systems in official classifica-
tion territory would probably earn as
low as 4:33 per cent on their invest
ment in road and equipment; the ac-
tual figures now at hand show that
the return was 3.99 per cent the low
est figure in the past ] years.
Here Are Complete Returns.

the 80 systems-in round tigures-
show:
Am increase in total capacity
obligations OF sos, goo, GOO.
"2-An increase in property invest
ment of S249.0OO.O00.

appeared and a deficit OF SS.OOO,OOO

THE year OF 1914 showed the
largest operating revenues per mile OF
first main track operated of any year

In concluding Mr.. Patterson de-
clared that the need OF the carriers can
only be met practically by general
advance in rates.
Argues for Advance on Coal.
q. = Butterfield, assistant general
solicitor Of the New York Central
lines. argued in favor of an advance in
coal rates. His arguments were in
answer to the contention that there
should be no increase in freight rates
on coal for the reason that the car
riers had submitted no evidence re-
lating specially TO coal rates.

RUSSIANS CLAIM
To HAVE CAUGHT
$4,000 PRIs0NER RS
Cars Military Experts Declare
Losses of Germans and Aus
trianS in Eastern Theater
will Reach 10000.

PETROGRAD, Russia, oct. 29.-
More than $4,000 German and Aus
trian prisoners have been taken by
the Russians in the lighting of the
last 10 days, according TO state
ment published in the Army Gazette
today. Military experts estimate that
the losses of the allied forces In XIII
ed and wounded number at least
$4,000 more, making their total
losses $4,000.
A report from the general staff
saws that the Germans have been
driven back to their main trencnes
along the front extending from Ihorn
southwark through Klodawa' Ozor-
koW and Petrokow They have taken
up strong positions upon the hills
along the Ner south of Klodawa-
ITO remove the Germans from
these positions the report continues
cit will be necessary TO bring up
heavy artillery. This will require
considerable time because of the
condition of the ground. The Ger
mans destroyed every bridge as they
retreated from the Vistula and these
will have TO be replaced by pontoons-
Winter to Check Moves.
Military experts believe that little
more will be accomplished by Rus
sian or Austro-German before the
winter sets in. The snow storms
that began in East Prussia and then
spread outward TO central Poland
have now extended 10 the borders OF
Galicia Considerable snow has fal-
len in the foothills of the Carpathian5
and II is expected that within a short
time heavy blizzards will be sweeping
the Galician plains.
ENraazinor of the TiUAr1 VyOUld enable
the opposing armies TO move their ar
tiIIery more rapidly, but this advan-
tage would be offset by the delay
caused by the snow that lies heavy In
this region throughout the winter
This would materially delay an ad-
vance.
All the Russian troops now being
sent to the front are equipped for a
winter campaign. Those who set out
with lighter clothing are being re-
fitted as rapidly as possible. 1t is ex-
pected by the time spring lighting
opens Russia will have 100000 in
the field.
Regiments Are Shifted.
Regiments are frequently shifted
and the men are not left on the fir
ing line long enough TO become stale
or exhausted.
Because of the activities of German
and Austrian spies in Russia the gov
ernment has ordered that all subjects
OF Austria and Germany must leave
this city and other districts within
two weeks.
II is known that many secrets re-
lating 10 the military estimate have
been revealed to Germany since the
war began and In many instances the
German commanders have known
what Russian troops were at the
front before the knowledge had been
given 10 the people OF Petrogra6.
