Southern Will
Increase Rates
(By Associated Fress.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., April TO-
Lincoln Green, freight traffic manager
of the Southern Railway Company, to-
day announced before the Interstate
Commerce commission that his road
proposes to increase its freight rates
per cent. where it was considered its
risks were increased through the
change in liabilities under provisions
Of the Cummins amendment to the rate
law, which becomes effective June g.
Mr.. Green said the proposed increase
would become effective October LIST.
The interstate commission, several
years ago approved the uniform bill
of lading now in use on practically ali
railroads operating in the United Stat,
es the approved bill limiting liability
of the carriers for one rate, and per
hitting the collection of full liability
where an additional ten per cent. in
crease in rate was charged. The Cum
Minis amendment recently adopted,
make it compulsory on all railroads
not to limit their liability to the ship
per, thus vitiating the approved un.-
form bill of lading and re-opening the
whole question.

NEWS DISPATCHES FROM SWIFT.
ZERLAND SAY AUSTRIAN Gov
ERNMENT is WILLING TO MAKE
CONCESSIONS
WITHDRAW TROOPS FROM
SERBIAN MPAIGN
Ally of the Kaiser is SOreIy Pressed
and Wants To Make Peace With
Czar-Internal Disorders Reported.
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, April 10.-Today's early
dispatches sound the hopeful news of
months for the allies, and military men
in London profess to see in today's
news from the battle-torn continent
hope that an early end of the war is
definitely in sight. This view, of
course forecasts a complete triumph
for the Anglo ritish-Slav allies and
the complete humiliation of Germany
and the Teuton- Turk combination.
The Russian victory at Pzremysl, the
continued Slay successes in the Car
pathianR, the inexhaustible numbers Of
men, and the rich sources of supplies
possessed by the Car has almost COM
pleted the destruction of the Austrian
armies and millions of invaders are
flocking through mountain passes on
to the fertile plains of Hungary. Devas-
tation of their own country threatens
the Austrians, and the scene of san
culinary conflict in the east has shifted
from Russian to Hungarian and Aus
trian soil.
The tremendous pressure being ex
erted by the Russians, coupled with
the inability of Germany to send ade-
quate assistance to repel the invasion
of Hungary, has thrown terror into the
hearts of the people of the dual mon
archy, and today-s dispatches from
Swiss cities indicate a depIorable con-
Francis Joseph. The campaign against
Servia has been completely abandoned,
owing to the pressing necessity o.
sending additional troops to the Car
pathian and Bukowina battle fronts,
and the same source of information de-
clares unequivocably that Austria has
definitely decided to sound Russia cor
corning peace terms.
During yesterdays fighting, in which
additional heavy losses were sustain
ed by the Austrians, the Russian gen
eral staff is authority for the state
ment that after a battle along the
Dukla-Eperies front twenty-six thous-
and slain Austrians were found upon
the field of carnage. Others losses are
also said to have been sustained dur
ing the operations of the day, the
Russian advance being steady. rapid
and deadly.

WASHINGTON SENDS
A VIGOROUS DENIAL
TO THE KAISER BILL
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 10-Vi-
gorous denials, it was said today, will
be made by the United States that it
had virtually acquiesced in the British
order in council, as intimated by the
German government in it's note COM
planning Of the United States failure
to obtain for American exporters the
right to ship foodstuffs to the civilian
population of belligerent nations. The
work of preparing the American reply
has already been begun, and the note
will be dispatched to Berlin within a
week.
The British order in council is the
famous proclamation denying neutral
nations the right of entry to German
and Austrian ports, without formal
establishment of blockade, in accord
with international usage in time Of
war. The order, in effect places on
the contraband of war list articles of
every description, and neutral vessels
bound for German and Austrian ports
continue to be taken before prize
courts when overhauled by British
warships.

NEW YORK, April 1O.-Today VIII
messed a remarkable advance in cot

lar a bale was scored during the first
trading hour of the session. Much ex-
citement attended the rapid rise in

Later bulls relaxed their support and
the market receded somewhat, but re-
NAMED firm until the close. A net ad-
vance of eleven to thirteen points was
sustained at the close. Reduction OF

ROME April 10.-Mnre than ever
Italy's neutral attitude toward the
world-war is uncertain, and develop
ments during the next forty-eight
hours may mark a formal entry of this
country among the ranks of the bellig-
,erents. Popular agitation concerning
the nations neutral attitude has in
creased to point which necessitates
energetic action upon the part of the
authorities to prevent serious disor-
ders, and the pressure being exerted
to force Italy into the war is describ-
cd as tremendous.
Political factions faNoring and
against Italian participation in the
war declare today that on Sunday
mass meetings will be held IN support
of their positions, and the police have
formally prohibited the gatherings.
Leaders, however, assert their power
is so stgMng the authorities Wil1 be
unable to prevent the assembling of
their adherents, and if the authorities
attempt the enforcement of their order
serious disorders will result
At the Vatican this afternoon a for
anal statement published in the official
organ of the Holy See, denies that En-
peror Francis Joseph has requested
Pope Benedict to act as intermediary
in peace negotiations between Austria
Hungary and Russia, the significant
utterance being added that His Holt
ness would welcome any step looking
TO the re-establishment of peace among
the nations of Europe"
Should Austria Hungary and Russia
compose their difference before Italy
sets into the war, the situation with
reference to Austrias Adriatic prov
inces would be greatly altered, and
this element is said to be disturbing
factor to Italian statesmen, who are
apparently intent upon grabbing"
stretch of Austrian territory at the
least possible cost, With the Austrian
armies free to give their whole atten-
ton to a campaign against Italy. and
the Russ Serb difficulties out of the
way, the task of conquering the covet-
ed provinces might prove impossible
for Italy, and in considering country's
attitude toward neutrality, the minis
ters at Rome are believing TO be Civ
ing full consideration to the rumored
peace negotiations bhween Emperor
Francis Joseph and the Car.
