The campaign In the Carpathians
and In Galicia is not SO easy to fol-
low. as official reports are sparing in
information. 1t is evident. however,
that while the Russian offensive In
the western passes is being pushed
with strength, and has proved partial
ly successful, it has been met by
stronger opposition in the eastern
passes, with the result that the Rus.
slams have been compelled to fall back
in Kukowina. They have repeatedly
done this, only to give the Austrians
battle when they debouched from the
Russian end of the passes, and it is
presumed that this is their intention

Readiustment Of Rates.

The subject Of readjustment OF
rates on coal from Alabama, Tennes.
see, Kentucky and Illinois into Mis-.
sissippi territory has caused consider
able discussion and study among mem.
bers Of the state railroad commission,
in conference with Rate Clerk M. C.
Moore. Mr.. Moore, in discussing this
matter, states that the interstate com.
merce commission has started Its In.
quiry and investigators preliminary
to a general readjustment of these
rates for both the long and short haul
from the mines to the centers Of dis
tributiOn.
Just which way the revision will
work, whether upward or downward,
remains to be seen, but it is certain
that an advance in the coal rates to
Junction points in Mississippi would
add to the burden Of an already bur
dened people.
The commission, however, is in re-
ceipt Of information that the interstate
commerce commission will give a Sc
ries Of public hearings at New Or
leans. and possibly also at Birming-
ham, some time during the present
month.
Peuding this hearing, the interstate
rates under the present classification
have been suspended.

RICH MEN DEFEND GIFTS
Foundations Are No Menace to Amer.
lean InstItutions-Want to
Better Mankind.

New York.>John D. Rockefeller, ST.,
and Andrew Carnegie appeared before
the federal commission on Industrial
relations and defended the foundations
which they have endowed with their
wealth.
Neither would say he believed the
institutions constituted a menace to
the religious, political or educational
liberty OF the people Of the United
States. A desire to promote the vel
fare of mankind and that alone, they
said, prompted them to establish the
foundations which bear their names.
Widely different vas the nj in
which these two men faced the com
mission and the audience, composed
largely of representatives of labor, So
c~ialists. individuals and members Of
the Industrial Workers of the World.
Mr.. Carnegie went to the witness
stand from a seat in the audience.
He was in a jovial mood, and his an
swers to questions caused the audi.
ence and the commissioners TO roar
with laughter, more tina nonce. Mr..
Carnegie enjoyed that. When he left
the stand he said he had not spent
such a pleasant afternoon in many
years.
Mr.. Rockefeller was assisted to the
witness stand by members of his per
sonal sta1- Seating himself with much
difficulty, he leaned across a little
table and looked at the audience.
When he started to read his answers
his voice was scarcely audible. After
he had finished his statement he folded
his hands and looked inQuiringly at the
commissioners.
Mr.. Rockefeller appeared to have
aged considerably since he last gave
testimony In public. He spoke slowly
and calmly. He declared that his sole
motive was to devote a portion OF his
fortune to the services OF his fellow
men. He said he regarded the right
to rescind the charters of the founda-
tons as sufficient guarantee against
abuse Of the funds.
