DRUNKEN MEN
BARRED FROM TRAINS

Des Moines. Feb. 4.-No DRINKS need
apply to the local railroad for ride.
The Rock Island and other companies
will take advantage Of the law to Keep
intoxicated or profane people on the
train If they disturb passengers.
The question has been brought to the
attention of the operating departments
of some Of the local lines by employees
who are dubious whether they have the
right to eject drunken men or to re-
fuse to allow them to ride. The orders
are 10 keep DRINKS off the cars and not
to allow them to board train. par
ticularly if they are profane and using
indecent language.
In one or two instances where per
sons Of this kind were put off the tram
by the conductor. after insulting pas
sengers the irate passenger threatened
to sue the railroad for damages, for
libel defamation of character and 9TH
err alleged injuries. The railroads nave,
however issued directions to the train
crews, and have called attention to the
law on the subject.
The law stats that conductors shall
have the right to eject such person from
railway car at station or at regular
stopping place IN case of street car.
In the case of Il railway car the drunk
must be cared for at the station to pre-
vent him from staggering In front OF d
train.

 GERMAN ADVANCE
Downpours Swelling the Mouse, According to
 Brussels Dispatches

London, August s.-A Brussels dispatch states that heavy rains are swelling the Mouse, and it's tributaries and retarding the German advance. According to late dispatches this forenoon, quite an im- portant engagement between French and Germans occurred in Belgium's I.uxen- bug.
 The Etoile Beige of Brussels learns from an official source that no decision has been reached on the point of an armistice at I.iege, an engagement hav- ing begun elsewhere.
 Other dispatches from Brussels Lindi- cate the armistice of "A hours asked by the Germans has been refused by the Belgians.
 A dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph company from Brussels says that corps of German cavalry. which had succeeded in forging it's way across the Mouse to the north of Liege, was surprised, and
 practically annihiated by Belgian cavalry and infantry, supported by a light battery of artillery.
 The German route was complete and seven German regiments surrendered.
 A dispatch from Milan to the Chronicle
 says that the Italian authorities at Genoa have Selzeu two GerIndH tidusti,- lantic vessels, the MoltSe and the koems Albert headed for Herzergovina. It is explained the action was taken when the captains demanded a supply of coal though they already had coal aboard.

mines except when so constructed as to become harmless one hour at most after the person who laid them ceases to con trol them" It likewise prohibits anchored automatic contact mines which do not become harmless as soon as they have broken loose from their moorings,' or the employment of torpedoes which do not become harmless when they have missed their mark.
 Observers here believe the mine that caused the bleaching of the Norwegian yes- sel was anchored, as most of the North Sea Is not more than 30 fathoms deep. Each power promises to remove at the close of hostilities, all mines that can be located.
 So momentous was this problem regard ed at the second Hague conference that the contracting powers solemnly agreed to reopen the question of the employ ment of automatic contact mines. With most of the nations of Europe flying at war, the stanchest advocates of peace will venture no prediction of a time for re- opening The Hague peace conference.

Mr. Von Haimhausen held lengthy conference with Secretary Bryan on the general situation and also saw Counsellor Lansing of the state de- partment concerning several acute phases relating to the detention of Americans in Germany, the sailing of German reservists and the operations of German merchant ships.
 Concerning the political aspect of the conflict, the German charge maintains that the reports from London seek to give the erroneous impression that Germany precipitated the war wholly because German troops had advanced into Belgium, whereas, he declared, the British foreign office previously had laid down terms to Germany which would have had the effect of restrain ing the German navy from operating against Russia in the Baltic-the most natural way leading to the Russian pos sessions-or from operating against France along the north coast or that country. the most natural and prox- innate point for the German naval forces to operate.
 Thus before the Belgian issue arose MT. Von Haimhausen contends England had sought to compel Germany to hold it's navy inactive at the very points where it could be most effective; to re- duce to a state of comparative inac- tio, in unfolding such position as the German nation might determine upon
