Blame. Brazil For Detention.

San Francisco, Oct. 31-Complete
exoneration Of the British and Ameri-
can governments In connection with
the British steamer Dollar to obtain
transfer to the American flag in the
harbor of the Rio de Janeiro last
month was embodied in a statement
given to the Associated Press today by
Captain Robert Dollar. owner of the
vessel. According to his version Of
the affair the Brazilian government was
at fault.
He says that the vessels failure to
transfer her registry was not because
Of any action by the British, as has
been reported, for the British consul at
Rio de Janeiro first agreed to the trans
fer and later agreed to clear the vessel
under the British flag when otherwise
she must be informed until the end of
the war.

German. Explain Warsaw Retirement.

Germans Explain Warsaw Retirement.
Berlin, by wireless. Oct. 31.-Accord-
ing to official information given out to
the press in Berlin today there Is no
news from the western .heater Of war.
The only German news from the
Polish front is the authoritative con-
firmation of the prevailing impression
in Berlin that the German onslaught
on the Warsaw fortress was in full
swing when the retirement Of the Ger
man forces was ordered.
It is pointed out that the German
attack would scarcely have been d.
rected against this fortified position
after strong Russian forces had arrived
at point south and to the west OF
Warsaw. These must naturally be the
first object OF attack.
An official announcement given out
in Vienna says that the total number
OF Russian prisoners interned in Aus
tria and Hungary on Oct. % was 649
officers and 1850 men, not counting
those in transit on this date.
Russian Advance Rspulssd.
The report says further that strong
Russian forces have crossed the river
San south Of Nisko but that they were
repulsed after hard fighting.
The Russian attacks on the heights
to the west Of Stry and Sambor, like
wise. have been repulsed. In this en-
gagement an ammunition depot ex-
ploded.
Austrian forces are1pushing forward
on the southern flank and gaining
ground. They carried several fortified
positions on the heights to the north
east Of Turka to the east Of Galicia
twenty eight miles to the south of
Sambor.

ION the East Prussian front stub

the Germans near Bakalarjewo are be-
ing steadily repulsed by our troops. On

fell back from the line OF Lodz to vari-
host. Among other military booty we
have. captured ammunition columns

Near Tarlow the retreating Austri-

per cent. on dressed meats. live stock
and packing house products are being
prepared by eastern railways for sub
mission to the interstate commerce

The prospect today was that the pro-
posed new rate would be suspended
when fled, pending an examination.
The present rate on dressed beef,
between Chicago and New York is IS
cents a hundred pounds on a minimum
carload weight of 10000 pounds. 1t is
proposed by the roads to advace the
rate to so cents hundred and Increase
the minimum carload weight to $1,000
pounds. These two factors would in
crease the transportation charge per
car from $50 to s105 or about 16 per
cent.
Similar increases are proposed on
live stock and geneal packing house
products. Live cattle would be ad-
vanced from 80 to 33 cents hundred
pounds between Chicago and New York,
hogs and sheep. in double decked cars
from % to 33 cents; hogs and calves In
single deck cars. from 30 to 80 cents;
sheep and goats, in single deck cars,
from 30 to Al cents, and packing house
products generally from 30 to 33 cents.
The new tariffs are expected to be
fled by or before the end of November.
In that event they would become effec-
tive unless suspended. by Jan. 1.
