Des Moines, May 3.-The workmen
of Iowa are not realizing out of their
new workmen's compensation law all
that they should and are falling far
behind the record of other state in
getting compensation in proportion to
injuries received. The Iowa law is not
operating as we'll as similar laws in
other states and the legislature was
prevented from making any improve
ments in the law.
In the period since the law went into
effect, practically ten months, the
Iowa workmen received in benefits a
little less than ss4, 900, one-fourth Of
which went for doctors bills.
The Minnesota worknen last year
received over a half million dollars
under their compensation law and in
Wisconsin twice that sum was paid.
OF the reports of nearly 1900 acct
dents in Iowa, reports have been re-
ceived of settlements in only about
200 cases. This seems TO indicate
that there is not strict observance Of
the law at all places. The following
table shows the number of accident
reports to the Iowa industrial commits
sion since the law went into effect, the
number of settlements reported the
compensation direct TO workmen on
the cases reported settled:

UlTIMATUM is SENT TO
AUSTRIA BY ITALY, REPORT
Document Gives Teutons Minimum
Terms of Neutrality-All Ships
to v. S. Are Held.

Rome, April PA report reached
Rome from Petrograd on Thursday
that Italy had sent note to Austria
which virtually amounted to an ulti-
matum. The note is said to embody
the minimum terms upon which Italy
will consent to conclude an agreement
with Austria.
General opinion in Rome is that an
agreement may still be reached. New
ertheless, military preparations are be-
ing continued with the greatest ener-
gy along the frontier, where Austria
is concentrating troops.
All German and Austrian subjects
in Switzerland, even those who never
did military service, were recalled by
their respective governments. News
reached Lugano that the Italian gov
eminent had stopped the transatlantic
service with the United States. Pas
sengers who had purchased tickets
have had their money returned. The
Italian government, the report says,
requires all the steamships.
dispatches were received lndlCatlnS
that all sea communication between
Great Britain and the Netherlands
has been cut off.
Taken in connection with the an
nouncement few days ago that all
communication between Holland and
Germany had been cut off and with
the news that Holland was rushing
preparations for war, the dispatches
assume extraordinary significance. No
reasons were given for the action.
