LONDON, Sept. 16.-Coincident with
Earl kitchencrs optimistic remarks in
the House of Lords concerning the posi-
tion OF the Russian armies, they are show
ing an increasing disposition to reassume
the offensive at many points on the east
ern front.
They are not only pressing their attacks
against the Austrians in Galicia, but for
the most part are holding up the German
rush in mid-Poland.
The Russians also assert that they have
thrown back the invaders near where the
German cavalry cut the Petrograd rail
way between Dvinsk and Wilma.
The German battle still holds out at the
bridge head near the Dvinsk. although the
Russians apparently are holding their OPP
ponents in check in tins region
Counting their captures in Galicia the
Russians lately have been taking more
prisoners than they have been losing.

GERMANS BLEW UP
MUNITION PLANT
How Loss of the Russian Woolwich
Crippled Cars Forces and
Spoiled Allies Plans.

LONDON, Sept. 16. = The Daily
News says this morning that it was
through German treacherv that the
great Russian ammunition factory at
Okhta, a suburb of Petrograd. was
blown to pieces some months ago. Okh-
ia was the Russian Woolwich-the only
munition factory in Russia.
This had a determining influence
on the Russian military situation, =
The Daily News saws, cas- the allies
had to come to the rescue by the cir
cuitous Archangcl route. Thousands Of
workmen were killed and the destruc-
tion of the plant caused such an ex-
treme dearth of ammunition that moth
ing could be done against the German
General Won Mackensen s artillery.
'|Russia, quite crippled had to fight
for time, and the striking power of
France and Great Britain was checked.
All thought of the proposed great
spring offensive had to be given up and
the chief energies of the allies bent
to the tasks of supplying Russia with
munitions, which suddenly had become
to her matter of life and death.
4 despatch from Petrograd April 20
last, said that several persons had been
killed and many others injured and
much material damage done as the re-
suit Of an explosion in the Okhta am
munition factory. 1t was added that
several work shops were destroyed
by the explosion, but that the stores OF
loaded shells were not affected and
that work in the factory would be re
sumed in q few days.

WESTERN ROADS ASK
STILL HIGHER RATES
Seek to Reopen the Case by Which
They Got s1,7o0,000 In
crease1 Annually.

WASHINGTON, Sept. ia peti-
tion has beel filed with the interstate
commerce commission asking that body
to yacate its order in the Western adj
vance rate case, which permits the car
riers affected to put into operation on
September SO advances over present
rates that would yield the roads an in
crease of about $1,700,000 annually.
The petition was filed by t. J. Nor
ton, representing the Atehison, Topeka
and Santa Fe railroad, and W. f. Dick
inson, attorney for the receivers of the
Rock Island. The purpose in asking
for the vacation of the order is TO re-
open the matter and allow the carriers
to submit arguments to prove that the
increases allowed are not sufficient to
afford reasonable compensation to the
railroads.
At the hearings which resulted in
the order now sought to be vacated,
the carriers asked for advances which
would have given them an increase in
their annual revenues aggregating 81
600, 900
No brief accompanied the petition,
which was said to be formal and which
was not made public. Counsel for the
| carriers announced that if the commits
| sion consented to vacate the order and
reopen the case for argument briefs
would be submitted later in support OF
the advances asked for
Another petition having the same OBJ
| lect in view was submitted by w. E
| Lamb, attorney for the Illinois Coal
Operators Association and others
| which recited that the order entered
| by the commission had caused higher
rates on coal shipments from points il
Illinois south of Chicago than exist
from lake dock points The petition

has been to work discrimination il
favor of the lake dock points agains

Anglo French. Commission
Think American Finan-
ciersWant Too Much
FIVE PER CENT WAS
THE EXPECTED RATE
Bankers Believe the Mammoth Issue
Should Yield at Least 1-2 Per Cent
and There Is Some Talk of Requiring
Per Cent.

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-Members of
the Anglo French financial commission
and the American bankers engaged in
the proposed billion dollar credit loan
to Great Britain and France have
somewhat different ideas, it became
known today, as to some of the terms
governing the loans, chief of which, it
is reported, is the rate of interest.
The commission is said to hold s
per cent as the maximum rate.
Many American bankers believe the
mammoth issue should yield at least
81 percent to the investor and there
is talk of requiring 6 per cent. The
way of the commission in agreeing to
a higher rate of interest than ) per
cent would be beset with obstacles, in
the opinion of some bankers here. They
point out that Great Britain S inter
nal loans have borne interest rates of
412 per cent and > per cent, subject
to deduction for the income tax, which
in the case of the largest is as much
as - per cent.

Beginning at midnight, the start of
Mexican Independence day, there was
much shooting and shouting along the

civil officials indicated a peaceful eel
ebration of the holiday by Mexicans OF
this section.
Mexican soldiers concentrated al
Matamoros today for a forenoon pa
rade.
Band concerts and dances attracted
large crowds to that city, but few
Americans crossed the river to see tn,
sights.
