 When the Panama Canal opened, water rates were forty percent lower than we had figured. even without the tolls" said Henry Barlow. traffic di- doctor of the Chicago Association Of Commerce. "The railroads could not compete with these rates"
 Shippers in the middle west who shipped by rail to the seaboard and then through the canal found. he said, they could not compete for the coast trade The final result would have been that Chicago and other cities would have lost their commerce with the west One railroad official said the middle west was now get ting it's first benefits from the canal under the new ruling and that the water rate reduced to the customers the cost of transportation, and now the west is getting reductions.

Notes to German and English Government Couched in Strongest Terms Explain U. s. Attitude.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-The Pub lication by the State Department of the texts of the notes sent yesterday to Great Britain and Germany revealed that both countries had been warned. in most emphatic terms against men acing the vessels or lives Of American citizens traversing the recently pro claimed war zone. The German note advised that the United States would be constrained to hold the Imperial government to a strict account for such acts of it's naval authorities as might result in the destruction of American vessels or the loss of Amer ican lives" and that If such a deplor- able situation should arise" the Amer ican government would take any steps that might be necessary to take in order to safeguard American lives and property"
 To Great Britain the United States pointed out "a measure of responsi. bility" which scenes 10 be imposed on the British government for loss of American vessels. and lives in case of attack by a German naval force" If England sanctioned the general mis- use of the American flag by British vessels. 1t would thereby cast doubt upon the valid character Of a neutral ensign.
 The two communications were to have been presented today resnect- iyelv ia the British government by Ambassador Page and to the German foreign office bv Ambassador Gerard. They were prepared bv counsellor Robert Lansing and revised by the President and Bryan, after consulta- tion with the entire cabinet The British. snanish and Brazilian ambss' sadors. who hapDened to call at the State Department. were given comics of tbe notes. as were the ministers to Sweden.

LONDON, Feb. H. Battle is fol- owing battle on the eastern front where the Russians, single handed are fighting the forces of Germany Austria and Turkey The Russians held their lines against Field Mar shal Won Hindenbergs army which attempted last week to break through to Warsaw and apparently also checked the Austro-German offensive in the Carpathians They are now forced to defend positions they won in east Prussia and in northern Po- land The Germans are transferring men and guns by their splendid stra- tegic railways. and have assumed the offensive on the east Prussian border and on the right bank of the lower Vis5ula in the district of Sierpe. which the Russians recently occupied
 The calm continues along the west ern front except for an unusually se- we're engaPement in Argonne and an- otfer in Alsace. where the Germans claim to have been successful al- though the French say they reeained the ground temporarily abandoned
 Financial experts are reported to be arranging in Berlin for the nota- ton of another internal loan of one and one.quarter billion dollars It is said that Russia also contemplates floating an internationl loan of a quarter billion dollars.
 It is impossible to say whether the next big battle win take place in the district of sierpe or in east Prussia. as Grand Duke Nicholas, with whom the initiative rests, has not disclosed his plans He may either strike be- tween Tilsit and Insterburg. in east Prussia or threaten to cut Von Hin denberg's communications with Thorn by a movement along the lower Wis tula
 No further change is noted in the Carpathians but the Austrian official report complains of the obstacle of snow and the strong pressure of the Russians suggests their offensive par 'ty failed While the Austro-German force in the eastern part of the range seems to have been strong enough to compel the Russians to retire from Fukowina the Russians appear after fierce battles last Sunday, 10 have taken almost complete command of the middle and western parts of the mountains
 In Esglasd the cost of living for the moment occupies the attention Of the government While Premier As- quith declined to assest to the fixing of maximum prices. steps are being taken to improve the situation The . government is also considering means to carry on more stringent conn paisn against the German trade
