at headquarters today that the German
army Is advancing slowly, but surely IN
the battle which Is still raging in France
The statement follows:

the German right wing was broken down
without notable exertion on the German
side.

situation on the front in France is IN
changed. says an official statement issued
here today.
J Taking cognizance Of the demand for
more information as voiced by many of
the newspapers, the war Office issued this
statement:
Referring to the opinions expressed
here that in her own interest Germany
should publish a larger number and more
detailed reports from the battlefield, as
the foreign press is daily getting such
reports from our enemies.
Military considerations will not permit
such publications, as a prematurely pub
ished dispatch might mean grave danger
20 the German armies. That Is the only
reason why the general star is keeping
operations on the battlefield secret"

WILSON KEEPS NEUTRAL.
Refuses to See German Editor with
Protest Against BeIgianS.

President Wilson yesterday emphasized
his desire that all American citizens
preserve the strictest neutrality in the
present war, by refusing to receive Hor-
ace L. Brand, editor OF the Chicago
Substituting. who had brought to
Washington a long petition from Ger
man-Americans, protesting against the
charges Of the Belgian high commits
sion that the German army had CON-
mitted atrocities during the campaign
through Belgium
Mr.. Brand was informed unoficiaIly BY
the White House that the President re-
garded it as highly improper that he
should receive partisan expressions from
American citizens bearing on the issues
involved In the war. 1t was made clear
to the Chicago editor that the reception
Of his petition would establish a pre-
cedent for sympathizers of other belliger-
ent nations to forward pleas rejecting
the opposite view Of the controversy over
the conduct Of the armies In France and

ADVANCE RATE CASE TO
BE REOPENED AT ONCE
|. c. c. Today Will Announce Decision
to Permit Railroads to Make New
Application for 5 Per Cent Raise.

The per cent advance rate case will
be reopened. The Interstate Commerce
Commission will announce this decision
today and everything possible will be
done to help the carriers to present their
case in the shortest possible time.
The opinion here is that this action
will greatly help to improve the bust
ness situation throughout the United
States. Representatives of the carriers
are confident that they can convince
the commission that they should be per-
mitted to obtain additional revenue to
meet the present emergency, through a
general increase in freight rates.
Thus far, the only director to a re-
opening of the case appears to be the
livestock interests. In its recent decision
the commission found that rates on
livestock were abnormally low and the
carriers were practically directed TO in
crease them.

The way the situation stands now, the
allied powers and Germany have made
practically the same reply to the peace
inquiry addressed to them by the United
States Each has declared that ii was
DESTROYS of peace. but that the war was
forced by the other side. Not a one of
the belligerent governments to which
the United States addressed its inquiry
has given any suggestion for a definite
basis of peace. All have intimated their
willingness TO consider any definite pro-
posals that are laid before them, but
they have been careful to point out that
as yet no such proposals had been
made.
Allies Are Interested.
II the President does anything at this
time IL will be merely to transmit the
imperial chancellor's reply to the allies,
but 1t Is not certain that he will even
do this
Representatives of the allies in Wash
ington were greatly interested . in the
chancellor's reply, and in the outline of
Germany's attitude toward peace. These
representatives, however, were firm in
their belief that Germany herself either
ought to signify her willingness to &C

or enter into direct communication with
the allies.

CONGRESS IN BRIEF.
SENATE.


After several hours debate, the
Senate reversed its action of yesterday
and by vote Of IS to Is held that a
Senator may yield to another for the
purpose of asking a question, even II
objection is raised by a third Senator.
The question was raised by Democrats
who are anxious to end the Republican
filfbuster against the rivers and har-
bors bin and sought this means OF cur
failing debate.
A compromise on the rivers and har-
bors bill by which a lump sum of So
10000, to be expended at the discretion
of the Secretary Of War, may be sub
, stituted for the pending bill was con-
sidered by the Commerce Committee
Strong sentiment in favor Of such q
compromise has developed.
Conferees on the Clayton antitrust
bill reached an agreement on all except
= two amendments and adjourned until
Monday with the understanding that at
that time a final vote on the disputed
points would be taken and a report
made to the Senate and House, Tuesday
or Wednesday.
The Senate passed two amendments
to the Federal reserve act somewhat
nberalizing that act.

Of time to approve yesterdays journal.
The Mann fiIibuster was occasioned by

bate on Thursday on an amendment to
one of the conservation bills. Mann
forced four roll calls OF the House be-
fore the journal could be approved.
The Banking and Currency Committee
approved an amendment to the curren-
cy laws which would permit a greater

She Saw a Very Large Light After She
 Was Happily Married.
 There was a girl who was quite sure that when 1t came her turn to marry she could not live in house any smaller than her fathers. Hove in a cottage" was not her idea. Cupid, she thought, needed plenty of room to flap his wings and to practice his archery he could not pine in a biTdcage. So she must have an immense library with a fireplace that would take a six foot log; there must be drawing room 1 with parQuetFy flooring and thick rugs sliding about on 1t; the dining room l must be able to hold large table with an imposing bowl of flowers. She wis ualized herself ruling a salon, hostess to brilliant coterie of people who would help her social ambition and her husbands business.
 A school friend of hers came to see I her a year and half after she had married and found her In little frame house oil side street. rtdiculously happy with her husband and her paDy The back yard was Just about big enough to hold whiriinS clothes frame and narrow flower bed against the fence; the piazza was as snug as sailors hammock; the largest room was about the size of the veStibule Of the brides girIhoOd home.
 I know what you're thinking, laughed the proud little housekceper to her guest You're wondering how l could make up my mind to live in this tiny piano box. But I've made a dis covery.

ASubnarine Episode
By F. A. MlTCHEL

There was time when warfare, Its appurterances, its novelties, indeed, everything pertaining to 1t, was public property. The Japanese changed all that, making everything secret. Since the RuSso.JapancSe fight the war cor respondent has had hard time of 1t, and many officers are pledged not to reveal what occurs iD the line of their duty. When was assigned to the command of submarine was obliged to make pledges that prevent my giv- ing certain points connected with this story.
 Before l was ordered to attempt to blow up an enemy's ship l was given time to get used to my submarine. This did not take long. though at first | confess sinking down under water made me creep a bit. When I had had a couple of weeks of it l was ordered on several attempts that were all fall ures. The difficulty in handling a sub marine is that when beneath the sur face you can't see anything and when above it, if you are near an enemy's ship, you are liable to get knocked out by a shot.

 The weather favosed the attempt, it being murky evening, with just enough light for me to see q big ship and not enough for her to see all Of my boat there was above water-the periscope. I gave the order follower the horizontal rudder, and we went down intending to make curve l had figured ont, coming Up near the cruiser amidShips. Everything looked well for success, and, having complet- ed tue first half of the are, gave the order for q gradual elevation of the l rudder.
 What was my horror to find that my boat did not obey 1t, knew at once | that my attempt would be a failure, 1 and I knew furthermore that l, my crew and the submarine were in dan- ger of going to the bottom and stay ing there Unfortunately when gave the order to stop her, to keep from gO- ] ing any lower. the engineer lost his l head and, turning the wrong handle, | put on power inStead-of taking it of. 1 This gave us so much anOmentum that | before we could take any measures to right our direction we were scraping ! bottom.
 There was nothing for il but to let the water out of the tanks in order to rise straight up to the surface.

HOW SPEECH CHANGES.

English Words Arc Now Very Ditfor-
 ent From What They Used to 30.
 A striking characteristic of the Eng fish language Ia the ability its words possess of passing from one part of speech into another. In the course Of It's history English has been largely strinned Of the endingS which once characterized different parts of speech
 Our infnitiyes no longer end In eR, the representative of an early an We do not say telleD. still less tellan. but simply tell. Our nouls have discarded the a or @ or U In which many of them terminated originally. Dropa has be come drop" ende has become "snd' wudu has become wood.
 In consequence of the disappearance of the terminahous. words have been reduced to their root form Hence they pass with little difficulty from one part of speech Into another This was not so once.
 Let us take our old. familiar gram maticaf friend love as an Illustration In Latin IL Is amare. as 8 verb: as noun ii is amor One iu consequence cannot he used for the other Such transition difference ot termination completely prevents.

worked with that superhuman power that is given to man. when some great object is to be achieved. ,. .z ..-
 All in vain we worked till we found that our 4effOrts were growing less; then one after another in quick success sion abandoned tho effort. --.
 Not a man of us but saw certain death ahead. We could not make the rudder work, and neither of the pumps was sufficiently powerful to expel the water from the tanks. The most fear. ful part of it was that we must die lingering death.
 Our chief thought was of those we. would leave behind us, and, thinking that the boat might eventually be re- covered, some of the men set about writing letters to leave in her, bidding loved ones goodby' and telling them of our last moments in the flesh. l, know ing that ftfwould be some time before death would come to us, thought only of a possible means of escape. The only hope was that when, 1t became evident that we had sunk and could not rise an effort would be made to save us. But how could wreckerS work within few hundred feet of an enemys guns?
 Suddenly a thought struck ne. De- sirIng to have as much depth room as possible. had consulted the almanac and found that the hoodtide corre- sponded with the hour of approaching darkness. We had gone under at nigh tide, the difference between flood and ebb being sixteen feet. In other words, we had sixteen feet more of water nressure on US than we would have at the ebb. 1 electrified the crew by tell ing them the situation. Here was hope If our engine could empty the tanks at low tide we would be saved.
 That was long six hours. In four hours we made q trial, but without success. In five hours we tried again. There seemed to be occasional rises of, say, a foot or two In another half hour We tried it again and could feel ourselves rising. but very slowly. How. ever. as the pressure above lessened we went up more rapidly till we reach. ed the surface.
