Show Captured Arms.
Before the palace OF the minister OF
war. beside the monument of Maria
Theresa and Of Prince Schwarzen-
berg, the cannons and arms captured
from the Russians are on view They
are insignificant arms. but the people
do not tire of caressing them. The
meager signs of Austrian success are
like CLEANS of hope in a leaden sky
of despair.
And patrolling the streets one sees
increasing in number daily monde

and sort of ancient regalia has been
brought forth from old storehouses.
In the hour when war and its hor-
rors are keeping a pail over Vienna
the sight of religious professions,
headed by priests praying for Divine
aid, brings out in relief the picture of
faith. The churches are constantly
filled with women and children. pray
ing for husbands and fathers and
brothers who may never return. In
the time of sorrow too great to en-

themselves more and more upon the
bosom of the church, which has of

Rich Are Accused.

THINKS GOLD CONTROL
 WOULD CHECK PANICS

Paris. June 11-The International Congress of Chambers of Commerce yesterday unanimously adopted a mo ton advocating the advancement Of the time for beginning and closing work by one hour from May to Octo- Der 1. to economize light and increase the opportunities for recreation of the workmen.
 Ferdinand Faithful Begg, president of the London Chamber of Commerce, spoke in support Of his proposition that stocks of gold in Great Britain, the United States, Germany, France. and Austria, ought to be under the general supervision of an information al commission, with the object Of pre- venting panics in any one of the coun- tries mentioned owing to the shrink age of gold stocks.
 MT Begg affirmed that the panic in the United States in 1907 was caused solely by the sending of gold to the Bank of France upon buying by Lon don. He thought that the Federal Re- serve Act of the United States offered a suggestion of what might be done in this regard.

I. C. c. DECISION UPON
 RATE INCREASE NEAR

Washington. June 11-The Inter state Commerce Commissions deci- sion on the 5 per cent, freight rate advance asked for by the Eastern railroads is expected within the next few days. The ommission,s labor is ended and the report has been writ ten by Commission Harlan. It is now being printed The report covers about 300 typewritten pages
 While the details of the cornnis- sion's order have been carefully guarded, it is understood that in cases increases will be allowed. While the petition of the roads has been described as asking for a 5 per cent increase, that is far from accurate, because a great number of rates have been mentioned indivi dually, with re- quests for varying rates of increase. The answer of the commission is ex- peeted to follow the form of the pe- tition to certain extent, granting some increases and refusing others

CARRANZA WILL IGNORE REQUEST
 FOR ARMISTICE
Mediators May Bar Rebel Dele gates From Peace
 Farley.

Niagara Falls, Ont. June 11.-Re- ports from Saltillo that General Car ranza s answer to the last communi- cation of the mediators had been transmitted to Niagara Balls were in- terpreted here as meaning that Rs- fael Zubaren, special onstitutiona1ist representative in Washington, had been sent instructions on which to draft the reply Limitations have come from E Paso and other sources that the constitutionaIist answer will refuse to declare an arnistice in that the subject will be ignored, but that the note will announce the intention of the constitutionaltst to send dele- gates here to discuss the Mexican problem, leaving indefinite the nature of the instructions given to the dele. gates.
 The mediators take the stand that, unless an arrnistice is declared. there will be no admission for the constitu- tionaIist delegates. Nevertheless the mediators have indicated they would not be averse to discuss questions i'm, formally with representa- tives of Gen. eral Carranza If they came here.
 The injection of the question of, constituttonalist representation at this time would tend somewhat to divert, the proceedings from the course they have assumed. e
 The issue today is clearly drawn between the American government and the mediators. The United States. has been insisting on two essentiaI points-the- character of the individual T. who is to be provisional president and the exact method by which he is to- be installed. The American govern ment is asking that an out-and-out constftutfonalist be chosen for prest- dent, but a man broad enough to re- speot the rights of the other political. factions. Also the United States ob-s 5ects to having Huerta. literally ap-s point bis successor by permitting him to name as foreign minister the man who would be chosen for succession as provisional president. A serious. hitch has arisen on these points.
 The American government, having undertaken the responsibility of solv-f ing the Mexican problem, believed that. there can be no peace in general tuttonaIists-is put in absolute con- trol. The alternative, it believe would be constitutionalist march on Mexico City.
 The attack on Zacateeas was re- sarasa Ag asssRg the inevitgR lss ls Another possibility is that if media ton is unsuccessful and fighting con- -tinues, foreign conp1ications would arise out of 7. .can,7itiefls of anarchy that would force the American army to move from Vera Cruz to Mexico AE;ity,

LYRIC THEATRE

s'In the days of the decadent stage, the movies are dramatizing thrift, tenn perance, honesty--in fact all the vir- tues, with a simplicity that is not with out it's appeal even to the most sophisticated. Of course, there are ex- captions, but the remarkably clean subject TnattE- and wholesome themes of the maJority Of motion jicture shows attracting and satisfying millions of people in audiences throughout the country are convincing demonstration of what the public wants and the re- action of these productions on the public mind is the best antidote for sex problem plays pprnograph5c now els and l. W. w. rantings.
 So says a gifted editorial writer.
 The exceptions that he notes are not to be found at the Lyric theater.
 Parents are invited to make the most careful scrutiny of the Lyrics pro- grams and they will at once see that the children can see the motion pie tlires they crave at the Lyric without harmful consequences.
 Today for instances The Last Ghost Dance and the further adventure Of .LuciIe Love, the Girl of Mystery,% are good examples. There are oth- CTS a. well balanced, clean picture pre- gram of nine reels
