Austria win Ask United States to
Look After Interests in Italy in Case
of War With That NatiOn-Switzer-
land to Act For Germany.

ROME, May 19.-The official gazette
today published a royal decree issued
by the cabinet placing supreme con-
troll of all railroad stations in the
hands of the military authorities. The
decree prohobits suspected persons
from travelling on trains.
All passengers must satisfy military
officers that they are loyal Italians be-
fore they can buy tickets. Then they
are warned not to look out of windows
as they travel.
Soldiers have been placed aboard
trains with orders to shoot down any
ont that seems too inquisitive.
1t is reported here that Austria will
ask the United States to look after
Austrian rights in Italy in case war is
declared. Germany has also asked
Switzerland to act for her. 1t is uun-
derstood that a declaration on the part
of Italy may be expected before the
end of the week.
Foreign Minister Sonnino informed
the council today that Austria was
ready to meet some of the demands of
Italy if they would guarantee neutral
ity. 1t is thought that this eleventh
hour concession will hardly affect the
Italian policy.
Continued outrages against Italian
citizens IN Austrian provinces have
been reported here. Forty persons are
reported killed and over hundred
killed by Austrian troops at Pola.

LONDON, May 19.-The Alexandria

account of the formation in that city
of the Zion Mule Transport Corps, a
Jewish legion composed almost en-
tirely of refugees from Palestine.
Those refugees who were of Russian
nationality expressed the desire to
serve under the British flag, and the
British military authorities immedi-
ately took steps with view to form
ing a Jewish regiment under COM
mand of Colonel Patterson.
Officers and men wear on their
military caps the Jewish token, the

CORPORAL PUNISHMENT
CHINESE LAW BREAKERS

PEKING, May 19.-Corporal pun
ishment for stealing rickshaw was
one of the recent orders of the Chinese
Ministry of Justice which has been
approved by President Yuan Shi-kai.
The order, as transcribed in the
Peking Gazette, reads:
''It was originally intended that cor
poral punishment should be meted out
20 those offenders who are devoid of
the sense of shame. However, these
regulations failed to make provisions
for persons usurping anothers right
of ownership. In Peking alone, there
have been several cases of rickshaw
coolies usurping the right of owner
ship of rickshaWs belonging to the
rickshaw shop. If the offenders in re-
spect of such cases should be punish
ed with mere Imprisonment there will
be crowded prisons, not to speak of
the starvation of the families of these
offenders. Therefore, we hereby sug-
gest that an article be added to the
said regulations providing corporal
punishment for the above mentioned
cases.
"The Presidents Reply: The above
proposal is hereby approved, and the
said Ministry is to enforce the same.
The Law Compiling Bureau of the
Cheng Shih T'and is to take note of the
the above
