Wants Commission fired


will be given another hearing in the
matter of the passenger rates recently
fixed by the railroad companies He
was informed that the additional ques-
tions submitted by him to the Commits
sion had not yet reached it, but when
they had, would be taken up and that
he would be informed of the date for
a hearing.
Mr.. Abbott then went to Governor
Tener where he complained that the
decision of the Commission had been
given to the railroad companies before
it had been given to the complaintants
in Philadelphia, which, ne held, was
against law which he quoted.
Mr.. Abbott said afterwarl to news.
papermen that he had requested Gov.
ernor Tener to fire the members of the
Commission and reappoint others. He
SAID that if the Governor would not do
this he would have two other possible
ways of abolishing the present Com.
mission, one to have Governor elect
Brumbaugh recall the names Of the
Commission when he takes office, as
they are sent into the Senate bv Gov.
ernor Tener, before they can be con.
iirmed. The other, to have the Senate
refuse to confirm the appointments.
Mr.. Abbott said he would await de.
velopments of the next twentv-four
hours before taking any action in the
matter.

Z entire AUSTRIAN ARMY
CORPS LOST IN SERVIA FIGHT

Rome, Dec. 16, 12.55 P. M.-Par,
ticulars received here from Nish. re.
garding the recent fighting in Servia,
emphasize what is termed the enormous
defeat inflicted by the Servians on the
Austrian army. More than two entire
army corps are said to have been lost
in dead, wounded and prisoners.
The soldiers captured include five
thousand Austrian soldiers of Italian
nationality whom Servia is reported to
be ready to send to Italy if the latter
wishes. Almost all these prisoners be-
long to infantry regiments recruited
from the district of Pola.
Descriptions of the hardships suffer
ed by the Austrians now in the hands
of the Servians are heartrending. The
prisoners, most of them it is said, had
been without food for from 4S to 72
hours. They say that several of their
comrades died of exhaustion an@ cold.

GERMAN NAVAL RAID ON
BRITISH COAST EXCITES
Interest AT WASHINGTON

Washington, Dec. 16.-The German
naval raid on British coast towns ex-
cited widespread attention here. The
first feeling was one of surprise that
the Gordon of British ships which was
said to form a ring of assured defense
around the British Isles had been sud
denly penetrated and serious damage in
fictedson the British coast ports.
1t was pointed out that this might
put to serious test the late Rear Ad-
miral Mahan S theory of sea power, ac-
cording to which strong naval force
could hold at bay the attacks of in
vaders. 1t was recalled also that the
northeast coast of England, in the i'm
mediate vicinity of to-day's German at
tack, had been the historic point of
England invasions in the past.
In the best posted naval circles here
to-day's bombardment is regarded as
a strategic maneuver, which may have
far-r reaching consequences. One pur-
pose, as explained by one of the fore
most naval strategists, is to create a
"care" which will lead TO hurried con-
centration and change of arrangement
of the main British battle feet and ex-
pose those ships to attack from unex-
pected quarters.
Discussion of the raid among diplo-
matists friendly to the allies led to the
expression of opinions that the first di-
rect attack on British soil would in all
probaDlnty develop advantageously to
England by bringing the English people
face to face with war and would per-
haps stimulate recruiting.
Naval officers here were little sur.
prised to hear of the appearance of
German warships on the English coast.
They had not only expected some such
demonstration, but have been puzzled to
know why some such attempt had not
been made before. Notwthsta nding the
strength of the British fleet which has
been blockading the German coast, ma
val officers here. have thought that the
line of investment could not be made
absolutely tight because of the stormy
weather at this season, with dense fogs.
The British ships also have been
obliged to lie many miles off the Ger
man coast to escape the fire of shore
batteries and particularly to avoid the
mine fields which lie thickly sowu
within soundings. They have consid-
cred it hazardous but perfectly posi-
BILE undertaking for daring command
er to run his vessels through the line
by night 1t might be possible, though
more difficult, for him to bring his ships
back to port
