within a short time. The German government seems loath to start the break and the Austrian diplomats have not as yet asked for any expla- nation from the Italian government for the mobilization which would inn mediately precipitate the issue and force the declaration of war.
 Reports reaching here from Italian coast cities indicate concentration of troops for an invasion of Austria via Serbia or Montenegro. Transports have been assembled in the coast towns ready for instant use. It is expected that the Italians will en- deavor to move the troops before the official declaration of war is made, but this is only guess work and the government could hardly expect, to be successful in making the move undis- covered, as the country is honey. combed with German spies.

KKANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 24.- The Industrial Relations commission will reopen the investigation of the Colorado coal strike because of the fact that J. D. Rockefeller, Jr, had testified that he had taken no active part in directing the managers of his coal companies in the course they were to persue in breaking the strike while the commission now claim to have in their possession his letters and telegrams to the managers in which he approved every moce made by them and also directed many moves that the managers had not thought of.
 An attempt will be made to se- cure evidence enough against the oil kings son to result in an investiga- tion by a federal grand jury and a possible indictment.

FAIL ID RAISE
 SUBMARINE F-4 cahIes Break When Strain Is Put on Them-Efforts Be Continued Un-
 til Boat Is Brought Up.

HONOLULU, April 24.-Admiral Howard reported today that the at tempt to lift the sunken submarine F-4 from the bottom of the ocean had been a failure because the strain on the cables was so great that they broke and the boat dropped back in- to the sand.
 The work of fastening more and stronger cables to the submarine will be started at once. The divers are confident that the craft can be rais- ed as it is only a matter of tying enough cables to the boat, and they will begin at once to fasten the lines.
 The failure yesterday was a disap- pointment to the naval officers, who had hoped the work of raising the craft would be completed today and the reason for the failure of the boat to come to the surface would be known to them. The desire to recov- CT the bodies of the men in the boat is only part of the reason for the ex- penditure of so much money and ef- fort to raise the craft. The Navy Department is greatly concerned to learn the reason for the accident, so that it may be avoided in future.

His only ob- jection was an indirect request to his campaign managers not to accept money from the Standard Oil com pany, as he considered it impolitic, but he admitted that he did not try to see that his orders were carried out
 Roosevelt defended the Ryan con. tribution to the Parker fund of $5O0,- 900 and he believed that the corpor- ations could well afford to pay the cost of the political campaigns, as they are most vitally interested in the outcome.

The people are already demanding the publication of the list of casual ties and the fact that the war office admits heavy losses is probably made public to break the news and prepare the people for the heavy losses.
 Coast Is German Objective.
 Military experts now insist that the German objective ts the coast of France and the capture of Calais and Dunkirk. This object has been in the minds of the Germans since. the early days of the war following the failure to capture Paris. The Belgians and British have effectively blocked them to date.
 Holland Reports Considered False.
 The reports coming from The Ha- que to the effect that the Germans were ready to abandon Belgium are considered erroneous as the stopping of the trains was more likely for the purpose of sending in heavy reserve forces to back up the sudden and un expected offensive attacks.

 GOOD TIMES SOON
Head of Canadian Pacific Now In &c., attIe and Says Banks Will Soon
 Turn Money In Circulation.

SEATTLE, April 24.-Sir Thomas Shaughnessey, president of the Cana dian Pacific railroad, who IS now in this city, predicted today that good times for the United States and Can. ada was a matter of but few months and that the industries of both coun- tries would speedily resume normal output.
 When the war ends the large amount of money now held in the banks in the United States must seek investment" said the railroad presi- dent. This money will look for op- portunities to earn an interest. The banks at this time are holding back investmnts waiting for the turn of the financial tide, but when it reach es it's flood money for every legiti mate business enterprise will be of fered in plenty and conditions will be better than they have been for years.
 "The stopping of speculative enter prises is a good thing for both the business of Canada and the United States" concluded the railroad pres ident, Gas riot of speculation al ways leads up to a panic"
