Britain Determined.

Washington, Jan. 19.--The British
government today notified the state
department that it would not waive
the right Of seizure in the case of
the former Hamburg American steam
er Dacia.
Great Britain also refused this gov
ernments request that the Dacia be
permitted to make one voyage with
cotton from the United States to Ger
many without the voyage being con
sidered as precedent establishing
the right of German ships to be
transferred to the American flag.
Ambassador Page stated that the
British foreign office had refused to
make an exception on the broad
ground that it would be setting a
dangerous precedent, despite the sug
eestion of this government that the
Dacia would discharge her cargo at
Rotterdam.

MEXICALI MAY HAVE
BANK FOR CHINESE

Mexicali, among other Innovations,
is to have bank devoted entirely to
Chinese patrons, according to reports
received here,%" emosnine. The of
ficials and directors have not yet been
named.
Under existing conditions, alice thi-
nese are allowed to cross the inter-
national boundary line into the United
States only as far as the immigration
office and after reaching that point
they are obliged to telephone to the
Lank and wait until a messenecr ar
rives.
Because of this, it is said, many of
the Chinese laborers on the Mexican
side have become dissatisfied and Il
coterie of hectic operators of frenzied
finance on the Mexican side have
evolved the brilliant idea of estab
fishing a bank for the benefit of the
Chinese laborers employed on the
large rancho
Just how / ndly the idea will take
with the Gel tials has not been
learned. as Is umored there is
feeling of tension and unrest among
them, as there is some trepidation
as to whether Mexican officials, in
the near future, might be forced be
cause of financial stringency, to of
fer their notes in exchange for loan
of Chinese savings.

Petrograd Jan. 19The Turkish win
ter campaign in the Caucasus has now
suffered its final collapse. Its chances
became very slender when the cruis-
ers Goeben and Breslau failed to con-
troll communication in the Black Sea
between Constantinople and Trebi
zond. The Turkish army assembled
around Erzerum found itself cut off
from reinforcements and supplies ano
confronted with the heavy task of con-
verting Enver Pasha's defeated and
retreating corps into force strong
enough to continue the war with Rus
sia.
The Turkish rank and file fought
stubbornly for ten days on the from
tier positions around Kara Urgan, UNI
til they fell victims of careless and
incompetent management by their
German and Turkish leaders.

PACKERS DEMAND
 FAST TRAIN SERVICE
RAILROAD OFFICIALS DECLARE E THESE TRAINS ARE MORE FIX.
 PENSlVE THAN SLOW ONES.

Chicago, April 7.-Speed required by the meat packers in the transpor- tation of livestock and fresh m ats without extra return for the s3 cial service was described by j. A. Somer. vile, superintendent of transpOrta. ton of thcMissouri Pacific, at the In- terstate Commerce Commission hear ing of the western freight case today as reason why the western rail roads are asking for higher rates oil certain commodities.
 Testiying in behalf of the fl west ern railroads plea that they be per. mitted to increase rates three cents a hundred pounds on cattle, hogs and sheep, and five cents on horses and mules, MT. Somerville said the pack CTS were constantly increa ing their demands for quick and efficient ser. vice.
 Packers. through their traffic or ganizations. have obtained high speed service from all packing centers on practically all lines" the witness said Speed is made general on trains scheduled to handle packing house products regardless of the mum. Der of cars. We have to make the fast time whether with three or 20 cars and high operating officials must keep close check on such movements to insure maintenance of the sched. ules. The speed ranges from 15 to IS miles an hour compared to 10 to 13 miles for time freight"
 Mr. Someryille quoted figures de- signed to show that the cost of oEer. ating these meat cars was much greater than that of other freight and that the railroads were not receiving a proportionately reasonable income from them.
 Isn't it fact that the railroads fix their speed by agreement. that it is matter of their own conven- ience?" asked Luther M. Walter, counsel for the packers
 ''No, it is not fact. It is competi tion. . The packers give their business to the roads that furnish the service they require'

 Nevertheless, these Indians remain extremely conservative, many of them living in the old elliptical brush houses.
