AUSTRIANS DENY
 RUSS VICTORIES

London, Jan. 25--AIthough Vienna reports, via Amsterdam, enlarge upon Austrian successes in Kukowina, claiming that the Russians are re- treating with heavy losses of muni- tions and prisoners, a wireless des- patch from Vienna early to-day giv- ing an official communication issued there, says only this about the fighting in that region:
 Quiet reigns after our last success fu1 battles.P The communication tells of fighting in the Carpathians as fol- lows:

A. This is a difficult, II not impos-
sible question TO answer. The forces
commonly mentioned in university
textbooks on science" are gravita-
tion. heat. HEht. electricity. magnet
ism, chemistry, molecular attraction
and repulsion.
These terms are SO fine. or refined,
that they are beyond all imagination
The more discoveries made in their
true nature the more complex and
ence does not even make a pretense
of telling as what they are or their
causes. All that we can do is TO
study their effects.
All these are included in one word

rectly across its path. There is not
the faintest clue as TO what gravity
is. AS il cannot be insulated. cut off,
screened of, or intercepted, it must
be finer than any of the forces men
toned.
One can cut off heat and light, but
gravity passes through every sub
stance known and attracts all bodies
beyond.
Suspend any object by a fine
thread out in the open air to direct
radiation from the sun. InterpOse a
block of granite; il will screen off
heat and light energy. but no effect
can be discovered on gravitation. To
discover how would change all ciVili-
cation for the better.
From this fact it is doubtless well
10 say that gravitation is very fine
force.
But the magazines spoken Of by
Reader beyond doubt. referred TO
transcendent forces finer than gravi-
tation. that is. 10 mental forces.
Nearly all of the writer's using the
term finer forces in books received
up here use il in a mind or mental
sense.
One writer on this subject said:
Mind is finer than gravitation." But
he did not know anything OF either.
on the face of this proposition il
would appear that mind is a finer
force, or shall / say a finer phase OF
force, than universal gTavitation. But
since / know nothing OF the nature Of
mind and gravity the assertion would
be useless metaphysics, the exact op-
posite OF science.
Life is a force; it assemblies tons Of
matter into an oak tree or into an
elephant one may speculate here
and drop off into metaphysics. but
this would be time totally wasted IN

u. S. BANK CREDIT
DELIGHTS LONDON
Scheme To Be Aided by Placing
American Securities in the
Bank of England.
tBy Cable to The Tribune !

London, Nov. 4.-The arrangement
made in New York on Monday by =
committee consisting of Mr.. Jardin, OF
the National City Bank; Max May, OF
the Guarantee Trust Company, and
Fred Kent, of the Bankers Trust Com
pany. whereby New York banks may
make individual advances TO British
banks according TO the amount OF the
latters' deposits, has been receiYcd with
tremendous satisfaction in financial
circles here. II is thoroughly under
stood that no advance shall exceed
$4,000 900, the entire amount being de.
posted in special accounts IN New
York in American dollars, which Brit
sh banks may draw on oy check when
il is advisable TO take exchange out
Of the market. The authorities here
are satisfied, as the transaction IS pure
ly one relating to exports and imports
and one that in MO way infringes on
the American Federal Reserve law.
The total amount OF the present ad-
vances is estimated at S5O,0oo,ooV.
Financiers are gratifed to learn that
the Bank OF England will also deposit
$50. 900, 600 in New York with a similar
understanding. The committee Of man
aeement here will consist OF Walter
Cnnliffe, late governor Of the Bank OF
England; Sir Edward Holden and Sir
Felix Schuster.
More important still in the eyes OF
fnanciers is the news that the govern
ment will stand behind the scheme 70
the extent OF depositing American Sc
curities in the Bank OF England as
collateral against advances. and with
this object in view the fiat has gone
forth TO bankers for confidential lists
of the American securities held BY
their customers. This IL an immediate
,tep toward the mobilization OF Amsri.
lean securities which has been agitsted
here for some months past BY . ma
jority Of bankers. :,
II is understood that Sir Edward
Holden, contrary to his attitude before
going to New York, now fsvors this
scheme, which is especially interesting,
as at a meeting Of the Bank OF Eng
land the day before his departure he
strenuously opposed and defeated q
proposition that large deposits Of dol
lar currency be made in the Bank OF
England against fluctuations IN sx-
change II is understood that France
is making similar arrangements.
