SHIPPERS TO FIGHT
 FREIGHT INCREASE RATE

WASHINGTON, Oct 19.-The Inter- state Commerce has been advised that shippers generally plan a stronger re- slstence to attempts by railroads to get increases in rates than was made when the five per cent. case was or iginally on hearing. Middle Western States, under the leadership of Cliff. ford Thorne, of the Iowa railroad com mission, are being commissioned with a view to having them join in the movement. Protests of the shippers will be based on the assertion that their business condition is not better than that of the railroads, and that until the latter have tried remedies suggested by the commission in its decisions on July 2S, they should not ask for relief.

Turks Threaten
TripoIi; May Force
Italy Into War
Raids BY sedouina and Arabs Con
tlnue Despite POrte's Promise e
Germany That Italian Interests
Would Not BE Threatened.

Rome. Italy is sending garrison
troops to Tripon TO defend her settle
ments and loyal tribesmen against
Arab rebels and Bedouins who have
raided supply columns in the interior
and have attacked an encampment Of
submissive tribesmen at Derna.
Turkey, It seems, has disregarded
the promise made to Italy by Germany
that the Porte would not threaten
Italian colonies and that Turkey had
no designs on Tripoli. Events are
tending more and more to force Italy
INTO the war on the side Of the Allies.
The newest, most momentous crisis
has developed in Cyrenaiea, due to
the agressions of Bedouins stirred by
the preachments Of Turkish and Ger
man agents.
News received here indicates Tur-
keys intention to drive the Italians
out of Tripoli and to regain the prov
noes lost in the war between Italy
md Turkey. For week Bedouins in
he interior have waylaid small de-
.achments Of troops and have fred
upon and wounded Italian soldiers.
1t seems probable that Italy wiz de-
nand an explanation from Turkey,
nd possibly from Germany, since Ger
many has assumed to guarantee the
afety of Tripoli.

RUSSIA LOOMS LARGE IN
CAMPAIGN.

London.-Russia dominates the mill
tary situation. The speed with which
she has cleared the invaders from
Russian Poland was totally unexpect.
ed and must necessarily have a great
effect on the campaign in the other
war theatre.
Already the terror-stricken inhabi.
tants are reported fleeing from their
prosperous Silesian homes despite the
fact that General Won Hindenburg's
strong army is between them and the
advancing Russians. But something
besides the might. of the German
arms may enable them to remain for
some time in security, for a significant
message from Petrograd announces
that Russia may defer the invasion
Of Germany until her historic mission
toward the Bosporus is accomplished.
This mission includes the complete
subsection of AHstria-Hungary as well
as the invasion Of Turkey, and, If this
is the actual plan of the Grand Duke
Nicholas, the famous Russian com
mander in chief, the Russians may
be content to hold their present po-
sitions along the German border while
making an aggressive war toward the
south and east.
The lull in the fighting in the en-
virons Of D.xmude and Ypres. in the
best opinion is only the prelude Of a
further effort to which all the forces
that the Germans can raise will be
concentrated. The last attack, made
with twelve army corps, failed. The
next. it is expected, will be made by
even more.
All advices from the front Indicate
this clearly. The reports that the
Germans are gathering an important
army at Ingelmunster the affrma-
tion that the battle against France
must be decided at an early date, the
orders given to the German generals
to break through before the end Of
the month and the various movements
Of troops observed by aviators in
Belgium, all tend to show the purpose
of the Germans.
All Of the military writer's here
agree that the effort win be Of the
first Importance to the Germans.

London.-It is officially announced
here that the German cruiser Emden
has been driven ashore and burned
The losses among the officers and
crew Of the Emden are announced as
having been very heavy.
The Emden was encountered and
destroyed in the Bay of Bengal by
the Australian cruiser Sydney. She
was driven ashore on an island Of
the Coco group.
The Sydney sighted the Emden and
with superior speed she at once over
took the enemy and gave battle. The
German boat could not escape. There
was running fight. at the end Of
which the Emden, burning from the
shells of the Australian boat, was
beached.
The casualties on the Sydney are
said to have been three killed and
fifteen wounded.
The German cruiser Koenigsberg,
which disabled the British cruiser
Pegasus some weeks ago. has been
located and bottled up at Malta Island,
on the coast Of German East Africa,
by the blocking Of the channel to the
harbor.
The Emden has contributed to the
history Of the war, as thus far rec

chapters. For sheer audaeity and

PARIS BELIEVES ALLIES
REAL ADVANCE NOW BEGUN

Paris.-Fighting from sand dune to
sand dune, hampered by thick fog
banks and at times crawling on hands
and knees through high grass, the
advance Of the Allies along the Bel.
gian seacoast continues, according to
reports received here. The advance
at first was somewhat slower, as the
Germans, after two days of retreat
and rest, resumed the offensive. The
Allies however, presented stone-
wall defense. The Germans were
again forced to retreat.
The region around Ypres is the
scene OF the greatest activity as the
Germans apparently wish to take pos
session Of the territory between La
Bassee and Nieuport, considered Of
great strategical Importance.
1t is evident that the Kaiser has
sent every available man to this sec
tion and the Germans are endeavor-
ing to smash through by three diff
ferent routes.
The combined armies engaged in
these assaults number not less than
600, 1000 men. The roar Of big guns is
incessant as the Germans keep up a
constant artillery fire under cover Of
which the infantry assaults are made
upon the British and French trenches.
Military critics say it appears now
after many retreats, counter-marches
and delay, that the Allies advance
has begun in reality.
Gen. Berthaud considers the Allies
advance on the Aisne's right bsnk.
together with the occupation Of
soupir, Chavonne and Vailly, OF prime
Importance.
In Alsace the Germans have suf-
fered a marked defeat as their attacks
to gain the vantage point on St Marie
Heights have been fruitless. The stu
alton here, it is stated, becomes more
serious every day as the only avail
able roads running east and west are
in possession of the Allies and unless
the Germans succeed in breaking
through and joining the main army
their only alternative win be a re-
treat.
Railway communication between
Bruges and Aardenburg has been sus-
pended. Along the frontier from Sluis
to West Cappelle the Germans are
cutting down trees and barricading
the roads. Nobody is allowed to enter
or leave Bruges or Maldeglien. Sew
eral bridges have been destroyed.
