ROAD IMPROVES
FREIGHT SERVICE

Hereafter when an Eastern shipper
has a small package of freight to got to
any Of the more important cities in
the Northwest, in the Missouri River
territory or in the Southwest, he will
be able to send it in car that will 60
straight through to destination without
the package being transferred to any
ether car.
The Pennsylvania Railroad has in
augurated a practice of sending
through cars of merchandise freight
by its StarUnion Line daily from New
York to far western points, regardless
Of the quantity of freight offered for
shipment.
Heretofore small consignments of
merchandise from New York to far
western points have been transferred
at various junction points en- route
thereby causing delay. The Inaugural
ton of the improved service by the
Pennsylvania means that hereafter
merchants will be assured of a quicker
and safer transportation service than
they have hitherto enjoyed.

ROME, Aug. ct has generally been
thought that organization was not a
strong point with the Italians. But
today the Italian army shows how
fine a work of organization has been
accomplished. But the ten months
while Italy was neutral were employed
in organizing, with equal remarkable
secrecy and speed, perfect military

was preparing, but how extensively
was a well-kept secret.

of Europe has shown to be necessary.
The credit is generally divided be-
tween Premier Salandra, General Ca.

lister of war. These three men have
shown themselves to be great men in
this work of preparation and foresight,

GRAIN PRICES FALL
ON CHICAGO MARKET

CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-The entire spec
ulative list on the board of trade was
lower today and under considerable
selling pressure. Losses were shown
of rs of 15s for wheat, y at 1 for
corn and ~ at IN for oats. Pork was
sc higher and lard and ribs were I'M
changed to PA lower. Cash sales Of
grain here were $4,000 wheat for ex-
port and 10000 at the seaboard.
The news to come from the spring
wheat country was more bearish today
than at any time on the crop. Horace
Jackson of Jackson brothers said that
after looking over the spring wheat
country he believes the crop will be
from 150,OOO,O00 to 175,000,O0O over
last year.
Samples of new wheat were shown
at Winnipeg today and it was of good
enough quality to grade No. l. W. B.
futile who is known on the Chicago
board in a message to I. c. Clifford
says that If North Dakota raised 49,

LONDON LAuDS
GERMAN DASH
INTO POLAND
BY HERBERT TEMPLE.

LONDON, Aug. 6.-British military
men make no effort to belittle the
achievement of the Arstro-German
forces in smashing the vistula lire of
the Russians, but at the same time
they pay the highest possible tribute
to the mastery strategy of Grand
Duke Nicholas, which has enabled the
Russians time and again to slip out
OF dangerously tight places.
The impression prevails here that
the Russian army is falling back into
previously prepared positions, which
the Germans will find impregnable In
the meantime, when the Russians
have rehabilitated their gun and am
munition supply, they will again be
in position where the Austro-Ger-
man forces will have to reckon with
them seriously.
Riga's Fate Sealed.
The fate of Riga is believed to be
sealed for the general retirement Of
the Russians must necessarily leave
the city exposed to the heavy cavalry
forces under General Won Buelow Al
ready the civilian population has be-
gun to leave and dispatches from Pet.
rograd state that there is a steady ex.
odus with the people carrying all
their portable possessions with them.
The operations in Poland. the great
est since the war began, are now
drawing into their final stage, with
the Russians retreating. In central
Poland the Russians are expected to
fall back about 100 miles.
It cannot be denied that the Austro.
German victories in the eastern arena
have been very great. One effect will
probably be to hasten CONSUMPTION in
England. The Germans undoubtedly
will begin transferring heavy bodies
of troops from Poland to france in
the near future, and the allies will
need more men to meet the strength
ened German army on equal terms.

OBJECTS TO PEACE
BRINGING BIG LOSS

PARIS, Aug. "a remarkable book
which is to be sold for the benefit
of disabled soldiers, has just been
written by Mr.. Anarole France.
The book is dedicated by the author
to King Albert, whom he refers to as:
That gentle leader and sweet pas
tor of his people who. deaf to prom
Uses and threats, fought without TAX
ing into consideration the number of
those against whom he fought, and
who made himself private to share
the hardships and the dangers of his
people.
IF were to learn that any French
man allowed himself to be seduced by
the masked phantoms of hideous
peace l would ask parliament to de-
clare a traitor to his country any one
who would propose to treat with the
enemy whilst he occupies the smallest
part of French or Belgian territory"

LONDON. Aug. 6.-Lord Robert
Ceciis statement in the House of
Commons on the cotton question is
taken to imply that the government

BY preventing cotton from entering
Germany seven or eight months ago,
Britain would not only have dimin-

ers of several of her most prosperous
industries which depend on cotton for
their raw material.
NeutralS would have understood the
sound principles underlying a strong
policy on the part of England No

neutrals reasonable compensation, and
perhaps even to offer to buy up the
main produce Of the American cotton
market. but financially even such a
bargain would not have been an I'M
profitable one, since it would hape ap-
preciably shortened a war each day

STOPS CLOCK UNTIL
PEACE IS DECLARED

PARIS, Aug. 6.-1n street here
there is outside a watchmaker's shop
a big clock which before the war I
used to consult almost mechanically.
Today you cannot do so any more for
not only has the clock stopped long
ago, but it is hidden by big tricolor.
Many people have asked the watch
maker to set the clock going again,
but he invariably answers:
Il am sorry that l cannot oblige
you but l have sworn not to unveil
the clock until the day peace is con.
Guided. On that day I shall set the
hands to show the exact hour when
final and decisive victory was an
nounced and until a year from that
day l shall not let my clock give you
the exact time"

Diplomats Insist on Heal

Southern Republic.
CONDITIONS STUDIED
Carranza to Be Given Chance
to Take Part in Convention
Drafting Terms of Peace in
Mexico.
BY JOHN EDWIN NEVIN
International News Service Staff


Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Aug 6.-Restora-
ton of constitutional government with
out bloodshed if possible, but restora-
ton of constitutional government.
That is the program already decided
on by the Latin-American diplomatic
representatives and Secretary Of State
Lansing. Each representative who
was present at yesterdays initial con-
ference declared today that much pro-
gress was made. While all have agreed
to maintain a policy of secrecy, they
were willing to admit today that there
is an excellent chance that a concert
ed plan Of action will be agreed upon.
Seek Harmony.
1t even seemed certain that prac-
tically a complete program will be
compiled before this afternoons pro-
gram ends.
1t is understood that the Latin
American powers and the United
States will issue another appeal to
the factions to get together II they
do not. they will be plainly warned
that they must accept responsibility
for any action that the concert of
powers may eventually decide on.
The appeal will be directly intended
for General Carranza, it is understood.
The Constitutionalist first chief is
known to bitterly oppose the holding
of another peace convention. But
Secretary Lansing and the South
American diplomats are determined
that such a plan be followed.
Carranza will be given every chance
to get In line with this policy. He
will be granted every concession pos
sible in order that this may be done.
But If he persists in stubbornly hold
ing out against their wishes then the
convention may be held without him
and without regard to his wishes.
Conditions Presented.
Paul Fuller, ST., is understood to
have made detailed report to yester-
days conference concerning actual
conditions in the republic south of the
Rio Grande. He made it plain that
action must be taken at once. Action
of decisive character is necessary,
he told the diplomats, 1t was learned.
1t was believed certain that the
South American representatives sent
word last night, the Rrst results of
the convention, to their governments.
They are expected to receive replies,
presumably containing instructions,
before today's meeting. This will
enable them to take decided stand
on any action that may be agreed
upon.
At least two OF those attending yes
terday's conference are known to have
told Secretary Lansing they could
promise him the backing OF their
countries on any program that was
decided upon.
