EXPOSURE is PROMISED

Warren S, Stone Agrees 20 axe tne
Roof Off the Rock Island Railroad
system and Give All a Peek at What
Is the Matter With It."
Chicago, Jan. "a promise to take
the roof off the Rock Island railroad
system and give all peek at what is
the matter with it," was made here to-
day at the western railroad wage arbi-
tration proceedings. The promise was
made by Warren S. Stone, representing
thu Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers, in the course OF the testimony
of w. ]. Lauck, q statisticiap.
Lauck continued the recitation begun
yesterday of tables designed to show
that the productive efficiency of rail-
road engineers and firemen has IN
creased while their earnings show IN
actual decrease. James NJ. Sheean, at
torney for the railroads, pointed out
that the productive efficiency of the
enginemen had decreased. Lauck said
that it might be due to the Rock Is
lands bookkeeping, to improper financ-
ing, to poor roadbed or to variety OF
causes
Suppose we take the roof off the
Rock Island system and all take a peek
at what is the matter with it, sug-
gested Mr. Stone.
'All right" responded LaucS.
I'VE will do it later" concluded
Stone.

GREAT BRITAIN sALks.
Insists Upon Right to Search Ships De.
apite Cartification of CARGO.

spite NOTStuCdSt0U OV SATSOs
London. Jan. 6.-Altho the foreign Of
flee regards with high favor the Amer
lean governments plan of certifying
cargoes loaded under the direction OF
officials of the treasury department and
destined for European ports 1t was
said that England can not accept such
certification as, an absolute guaranty
Of the nature of the cargo in case any
cause for suspicion arises after ? ves-
sci leaves America
In other words, the right Of search
can not be waived, because of the pos
sibility of shifting cargoes at sea and
of the impossibility of having the treas
ury officer who issues the certificate
accompany the ship to her destination
to guard against smugglers who carry
copper or other contraband on small
ships to be transferred at sea.
The waving of the right to search
ships bearing contraband cargoes in
the opinion of several prominent
British officials would be an invitation
for smugglers to ply their trade where
as the retention of the right would
tend to prevent dishonesty.
This position is precisely the same
as that taken by the foreign Office con-
corning the certification Of manifests OF
American cargoes by British consuls at
American ports.
The government is constantly in
communication with representatives
of Sweden. Norway, Denmark and
Holland. 1t is reported that all OF
these nations are taking steps to re-
wise their lists of prohibited exports
so that they will correspond with the
British contraband list thus making
possible a resumption of shipping to
neutral European countries from
America without delays or the danger
of seizure.

gary Severe Blow.

London. Jan. 6-The crushing blow
the Russians appear to have dealt the
Turks in the Caucasus and In the 1ur-
ther advance of the French in Alsace
on the road to Muelhausen continue to
hold the foreground in the war news
today in the absence of any other i'm
portant developments east or west.
1t is felt in England that the reported
rout of the Turkish invaders Of
Caucasus, with the defeat of their p.
to seize the Russian fortress at Kars
gives the Ottoman forces such set
back that the much discussed invasion
of Egypt is now virtually out OF the
question. At the same time the pres
sure on the Russians from the east has
been so far relieved as to preclude any
withdrawal of Russian forces from th
west for service in the Caucasus.
Turks Fight 6ravely.
Petrograd reports the defeat of tn
Turks at Ardahaa, forty miles north
west of Kars. which is distinct from
the forces. reported to have been
crushed or captured at Sari Kanysh.
and they were today completely sur
rounded and being harrassel by Rus
sian cavalry and doomed to inevitable
determination" It was added that the
Turks were fighting with great brav, .,
cry and determination but against
hopeless odds. as the roads along which
they sought to retreat were blocked by
great SHOWS
This is the defeat Of a Turkish army
corps which Grand Duke Nicholas re-
ferred to yesterday in his message to
General Joffre. commander in -chief of
the French forces. This dispatch an
nounced also the capitulation of the
entire Turkish Ninth army corps, at
Sari Kamysh. and the fact that such a
communication has been exchanged
between the allied leaders in the east
and in the west is taken to indicate
that the Russian claim is neither ex-
agSerated nor premature.
To Strike Hungary.
While there has been no change west
of Warsaw. it is the opinion Of observ-
ers that the Russian general staff is
giving every indication of intention to
strike in Hungary. With Bukowfna CO.
cupied. the time is ripe for an invasion
OF Transatlantic, an eastern province of
Hungary bordering on Roumania
Nearly 100000 of the population of
this territory are Of Roumanian stock
According to the contention of the al
lies these people may seek the oppor.
tunity to throw off the rule of Austria
and unite with Russia,
Roumania has not abandoned her
neutrality but orders have gone out to
reservists to hold themselves in readi-
ness for service.
The advance guard of Russians along
the frontier has been selected Of men
who speak the Roumania language
These soldiers are everywhere being
received with friendliness.
A dispatch from Paris states "that
developments Of the highest charac cter
are imminent in Roumania." A dozen
correspondents left Paris today for
Roumania by way of Bulgaria.
