spent such pains.
Columns in close formation were
sent forward to the crossings, but
once again every man was mown
down by the murderous fire of the
Russian machine guns.
with the fall of evening the Ger
man batteries were silenced one after
the other by the steady and well-di-
rected fire of the Russian artillerists.
The enemy then fell back 8 miles,
pursued and harassed by Cossacks,
who had crossed the river on the
German bridges.
According to one account no fewer
than 10000 German corpses were
carried down the Niemen after this
awful carnage.
SIN the fight at Srelniki, on the
Niemen, September Is, the German
casualties also are said 70 have been
large. An eyewitness Of the battle
saws that in the river and on one of
it's banks no fewer than 5000 Ger
man persisted. On the opposite shore
from the city the bodies of 1900
Germans were lying unburied for
some days afterward."

HOPES FOR TURN SOON
Henry Clews Gives His View OF the
Condition of the
Market.

NEW YORK, March 14.-Henry CIews
says:
Hesitation is still the ruling spirit i'll
business circles. This is not only true
of the United States, but of all the great
commercial nations. At home there are
reactionary symptoms, though it is doubt
full if these have been so severe as in
Europe. That the much desired recovery
in business is slow in materializing IS
due to widespread uncertainty. Next to
the worldwide economic reaction and our
readjustment to new legal requirements
the Mexican problem is of large impor-
tance.
Our railroad situation continues eX-
ceedingly unsatisfactory. number of
trunk lines have reported very discourage
ing gross and net returns for the past
two or three months. Revenues are fall
The necessity for some compensation in
the matter of increased rates to meet
increased charges is becoming more and
more inSiStent. In addition to the un-
favorable developments in railroad cir
ces some of the industrials have also
made rather unsatisfactory reports.
Should no untoward development oc-
cur in Mexico, turn for the better may
be reasonably expected before very long.
We are not a pessimistic people; yet
we are mercurial, and seem unable to
keep up our spirits unless business is al
ways running at top speed; something
neither possible nor desirable.

FREE AIR TRAVEL SOUGHT.
International Aeronautical Fedora
ton Wants Embargoes Lifted.

NEW YORK, March 14.-In an at
tempt to remove the restriction now
placed upon aviators wishing TO pass
from one country into another. Prince
Roland Bonaparte. president Of the In
ternational Aeronautical Federation, has
called a special meeting to be held in
Paris next May. according to an an
nouucement made tonight by the Aero
Club of America.
All European governments have passed
laws against the crossing of their bor-
ders by aviators. Last August President
Wilson issued an executive order which
prohibits flying over the Panama Canal
Zone, imposing penalty of Sl,G0O and
one years Imprisonment for each Of
fenSe.
The communication received by the
Aero Club requests that the American
government be interested in an interna-
tional agreement permitting non-miiitary
aviators to enter foreign countries upon
presentation of passports. to be issued
upon application by the countries to be
entered.
The international Aeronautical Fedora
ton represents eighteen nations.
