Railroad Report Issued.

Railroad Report Issued.
The Pere Marquette railroad proved
q savior for not only itself, but other
steam roads as well, for the first quar-
ter Of the present year. according to
statistics compiled from records in the
state railroad commission.
The showing made by the Pere Mar
Quette for the three months period Is
80 much superior to the other steam
roads as to be almost unbelievable,
yet the figures are there to prove the
claim. For that period the Pere Mar
quette showed an increase over the
same months of 1914 Of all revenues
amounting to S296,5S5.44, while the
New York Central lines showed q de-
crease of $117.295.14 for the three
months. In fact. had 1t not been for
the showing made by the Pere Mar
quette the railroads of Michigan would
have shown q decrease In all revenues
for the three months period compared
with year ago. as the total increase
amounted to only $130.930.37.
A total decrease amounting TO- $780,
611.31 from all revenues il noted for
the upper peninsula railroads for the
three months period, while the lower
peninsula roads show an increase In
all revenues Of $130.S30.37, or q net In
crease in all revenues for all rail-
roads in the state for January. Feb
ruary and March this year, over 1914.
Of $40.119.06.
The present management Of the
Pere Marquette seems to have brought
the road into better condition 1t
least than 10 shown By the other rail-
roads Of the state.

Summary
 OF THE w ar News

4 [
 So far as despatches reaching this country from Rome indicate, Italy has not as yet taken the final step to plunge her into war with Austria It would appear that the censorship is tightening and it Is fact that despatches from Rome are being delayed
 A Geneve despatch says Italy may send an ultimatum to Aus tria today and that declaration Of war will come before the end of the week. Although the Russian war office comedies that the Austro-German forces in Ga ltcia have won further victories, 1t asserts their successes have been gained at enormous costs in men. An official communication places the Austro-German losses in. Galicia during the last three weeks at upwards of 10000 men a day and estimates that they have lost one-fourth or perhaps one-third of their strength.
 The struggle for the Dardan- elIes which has brought on some of the most deadly encounters of X the war;, proceeds with unabated ferocity. Turkish troops from Asia Minor have been brought in to reinforce troops on Ga11ipon peninsula. Fierce fighting is now said to be in progress near the neck of the peninsula and despatches from sources friendly to the allies state that the war ships are doing great damage to the Qualifications of the Turks.

 The committee said:
 Detailed and interesting testimony was taken that showed that other states are rapidly increasing their mileage of concrete roads. This type of construction is promoted by a na-. tfona1 association of cement manufac- tuners, primarily for trade reasons. The committee was nevertheless im- pressed with the facts submitted, and is of the opinion that concrete roads may, because of their relatively low cost and small maintenance charges, offer a solution of many road build ing probfems.''
 The committee concluded that un- der ordinary conditions the cost of constructing a concrete road would average about s7 cents a square yard.
