Pittsburgh, March 4.-The German

been closed by order Of the comp
troller of the currency.
Officers and directors of the German
National are identified with the Pitts

tiles recently have suffered heavily on
the stock exchange, because, it was
said. of the enactment OF prohibition
laws in West Virginia and the exten-

Little excitement attended the clos

crowd gathered in front OF the banking
house.
J. F. w. Eversmann, cashier, issued
a statement in which he said that the
directors last night went over the
business Of the institution carefully
and decided to close because Of, gener-
ally unsatisfactory conditions. He ex-
pressed the hope that depositors would
be paid in full, but said he could make
no promise.

Still Unknown - Only Fourteen
Bodies Brought to the Surface:

Hinton, w. Va, March 4.-The num-
Der Of deaths resulting from the ex-
iplosion last Tuesday in the Layland
mine on Quinnimont mountain re-
NAMED unknown at noon today. Only
fourteen bodies have been brought to
the surface, but rumors that h ,lf a
dozen more dead have been found,
spread among the scores of anxious
friends and relatives who flocked about
the mouth Of the mine.
There was still much confusion as
to the number of men who entered the
mine Tuesday morning. The company
made known the names Of III men
employed. Officers Of the company
were unable to say whether all were
in the workings.
Little hope is entertained that any
OF the buried men were still alive.
During the day fresh air. was forced
far into the workings. At noon it was
announced that thirty-five bodies had
been recovered.

Significant Statement Made in House

London, March 4. -"Unless neutral
nations are prepared to assist In
throwing the Germans ont Of Belgium
no suggestions from them in the mat
ter Of preventing further devastation
Of that country are wanted" said Sir
Edward Grey, the foreign secretary, in
the house of commons today.
The statement was made to an in
quiry from Frederick Jowett, whether
the government was willing to invite
suggestions from neutrals" with view
to avoiding further devastation of Bel
gium.

Sir Edward continued, els the evacua-
tion Of Belgian territory by German
troops. the restoration Of her inde-
pendence and reparation for the wrong
done her. Unless neutral powers are
prepared to assist in that solution
don't see what could be gained by the
course suggested"
Another Russ Victory.
The interest Of British readers in the
Russian campaign has again shifted to
the extreme southern portion Of the
battle line, where Petrograd reports
that General Brussiloff has won a
noteworthy victory south of Boligrad,
infiicting heavy losses on the Aus
trians, who were pressing to the relief
of Przemysl.
At the same time an official dis
patch from Bucharest credits the Rus
sian forces with reoccupation Of
Stanislau, in Galicia, about sixty
miles from Tarnopol.
At the same time Vienna reports the
repulse of desperate Russian counter
attacks in the Carpathiaas, with COM
parative inactivity along the remain
der of the line. Berlin admits the Ger
men retirement from Przasanysz, north
of Warsaw. which, was made in good
order in spite of haste, hut necessitafed
the abandonment OF wounded.
On the western battle front in
France and Belgium, the French now
appear to be content to hold the posi-
tions they claim to have won in the
Champagne district.
Look to United States to Lead.
In the political field it would appear
that other neutrals are awaiting the
lead of the United States before em-
barking on any course Of action inn
posed by Premier Asuuith's announce
ment Of retaliatory actions Of the
allies. Meanwhile British newspapers
are expressing some uneasiness over
the unfavorable impression the an
nouncement seems to have made on
American public opinion.

Thorne Presents Statement.
Entering a protest against the rate
increases asked for. Mr.. Thorne. In a
preliminary statement to the commits
sion said the increases would be APP
proXimately 10 per cent. and would
increase the roads revenues $4,000,
900 to $10O,O00,000 annually. Mr.
Thorne also outlined the basis of the
shippers objections TO the proposed
increases. He asserted q suricient
time had not been allowed for investl-
CATION by the shippers
"No case between private citizens OF
CORPORATION ever tried before this COM
munal has involved such stupendous
sum of money at that involved In this
proceedings" said Mr.. Thorne. Tho
our investigation. has not been com
pleted, that which we have to offer will
show conclusively as to representative
railroad companies In this territory;
"That the credit of these western
railways is better than representative
companies in any other line Of busi-
ness in the United States.
THAT the depression of the past year
was not due to freight or passenger
rates. was not peculiar to railroads
particularly, but applied t. business
thruout the world.
Only One Issue Involved.
THAT despite its prosperous and its
lean years. these western railway
companies during normal years have
earned more both per mile and line
than ever before In their history.
That these companies have been
a able to maintain their properties in re
cent years on a higher standard than
ever before; that they have set out
large sums of money from their earn
ings for betterment of the service and
for outside Investments.
"Tersely stated, the issues in the
case center around the one question
"Who shall pay for the additions and
betterments to railroad property? The
public interest demands better service
safer transportation and improved IA
cilities: but it also demands the rail-
roads shall pay for these improve
ments. and the public will pay them fol
the improvements in patronage"
The first witness called to the stand
was C. f.. Schaff, president of the Mis-
souri, Kansas & Texas Railway Com
pany.

NEW GERMAN ATTACK.

Concentrating Efforts in Poland to
Break Russian Lines Near Ossowetz.
Petrograd, via London, March A.
The German forces in northern Poland
are concentrating their efforts in the
endeavor to break thru the Russian
fortified line near the Prussian from
tier by capturing the fortress Of Os-
sowetz. This battle, the outcome of
which is regarded as Of high import
ance, is proceeding with increased
violence. The Germans on this occa-
sion have succeeded in bringing up
some Of their most effective guns, in
cluding the 16-inch pieces.
The opinion Of Russian officers is
that the Germans, driven from Przan-
sysz their only hope for successful
execution Of their plans, which include
the securing of the position Of their
left flank by breaking thru the Russian
line Of fortresses, lies in taking Os-
sowetz.
The Germans have apparently de-
termined to exhaust every effort to
take this point.
Russ Make Slight Advance.
The Russians have.made a slight ad-
vance on the northern front. Kerjen,
taken by the Russians, is on the
Amouleff river, twenty miles northeast
Of Przasnysz. The capture Of this
town is Of more than local Importance,
since it signifies failure Of the Ger
man attempt to cut communications OF
the Russian forces operating in the
Przasnysz district from those pre-
ceeding from Myszyniec toward Koplno
along line parallel. with the Prussian
border. This the Germans strove to ac-
complish by occupying positions along
the Amoulen.
Altho there is close correlation be-
tween the German advance from East
Prussia and their operations In con-
junction with the Austrians in the
Stanislau- Beskid region Of Galicia, al
the other end Of the front, Russian
critics regard the activity Of the Ger
mans in the north as relative Of less
Importance. It Is regarded more as q
diversion Tor the purpose of engaging
the attention of the Russians while the
Austro-German army Is preparing fol-
an important campaign In Galicia. In
this region. 1t is said, the bulk of the
Austro German forces Is concentrated

London, March 4.-The allied fleets
this (ThursdayI morning resumed
their bombardment Of the inner forts
OF the Dardanelles, according to dis
patch received by the Reuter- Telegram
Company from Athens.
The text of the dispatch follows:
"The ,bombardment of the inner forts
of the Dardanelles was resumed this
morning. Ten big warsh!ps took part
In the operations.
According to British officer only
two Of the Turkish forts remain intact.
Allied landing parties found the
charred bodies Of soldiers in the dam
aged forts, showing the Turks had
burned their dead before evacuating
these positions"

While British bat.leships are batter
ing forts No. and No. 9 in the mar
rows of the Dardaneiles, from point
ten miles within the entrance to the
straits, French warships i'll the gulf OF
Saros are bombarding the positions at
Bulair.
A report is current hers that certain
dig Krupp guns recently sent to the
Dardanelles are still unnounted. and
aerial reconnaissance made over the
straits last evening seems TO have con-
4 firmed this report.
q The battleships Of the allies, which
now show all the colors Of the triple
entente by the addition of the Rus
sian cruiser Askolds undoubtedly have
turned the straits of the Dardanelles
into an inferno, which, according to
British and French claims, has spelled
destruction TO the Turkish defenses.
!. On the other hand reports from Con-
stantinople deride this activity as in-
effective. The Turks, however, do not
deny the destruction OF the cutter forts.
which they say they expected. but they
declare the inner works impregnable.
The Turks rely on mines. but mine
swe epers of the allied have been busy
within mile and half of the forts,
des' .oying a mine field detected by a
sha. .p-eyed aviator.
Fleet Reinforced.
Among other reinforcements said
now to make the fleet off the Darda-
neIles number over fifty ships, is the
British battleship Canopus. last heard
from of the Falkland Islands. In the
Falkland Island fight the Canopus fired
the first shot at the German squadron.
The only craft which, according to
the French and British authorities has
been compelled to retire from action
is tie British torpedo destroyer
