FIGHTS OF WAR
Battles Between Italians
and Austrians Are So
Described.
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Berlin, July 27.-The battle between
the Italians and Austrians along the
Isonzo are described by correspon-
dent of the Lokal Anzieger as the
'mightiest and most frightful of the
world war"
The struggle has lasted a week,
the correspondent says, without any
decision. The principal Italian on
slought has been directed against the
Doberdo plateau where the artillery
fire exceeds in intensity that of the
battles of Tranow and Gorlice in
Galicia. The correspondent adds:
"The conflict which is being directed
from captive balloons lasted three
days without any interruption and af.
ter only a few hours pause was re
sumed. The Austrian army which is
composed of soldiers of nearly all the
nationalities represented in the Qua
monarchy, endure the terrible fire
bravely, and when the Italians gain {
position they are soon thrown out Of
it.
italian aviators are continually
seeking to destroy the railways at tn,
rear of the Austrian lines, especial,
around Nebresina, but thus far the!
have done no great damage"

GOVERNMENT TO
BUILD A MARINE
RAILWAY HERE
Expects to Have Plant Suf-
hcient to Dock Vessels
of War Department.
WILL COST ABOUT
FIFTY THOUSAND
Railway Will be Two Hun
dred Feet in Length and
Will be Near City.

A marine railway about two hum
dred feet in length and to cost APP
proximately $4,000, exclusive of the
site, may be built at Pensacola by the
war department at an early date. It
is known that plans for such a plant
have been drawn and it is understood
these have now been approved and
that the expenditure of such a sum
as will be necessary to construct the
plant will be allowed.
The engineering department is de-
sirous of a railway of sufficient size
to dock all vessels of the service, ex-
cepting the dredge Caucus, which
could not be accommodated on a rail-
way of the size planned. There are
many other vessels in the service in
and around Pensacola which could be
locked on such a railway. They are
now sent to other places for docking
and repairs whereas if the govern
ment owned a railway at Pensacola
the repair work would all be done
here.
A year ago President G. E. Dobson
of the Chamber of Commerce took
up the matter Of such dock with the
war department, and at that time the
! city offered a site on the waterfront
free, provided the government build
such railway. The site can be used
by the government without cost as
long as the docks are maintained and
operated.
1t is expected that within the next
few weeks definite steps will be taken
towards authorizing the construction
of the railway.

Commodity Rates

WOULD SUBSTITUTE
A MILEAGE SCALE

The Louisville & Nashville railroad
has requested permission Of the
Florida railroad commission to with
draw all commodity rates now in eff
feet within this state and substitute
therefor mileage rates. The effect
would be to increase the rates on
many classes of freight handled to
and from Pensacola to towns in West
Florida. The Florida Railroad Com
mission, in order to give Shippers a
hearing, has issued notice that it will
hold meeting in Mariana on Au-
gust 10th at 9 o'clock for the purpose
of considering further the application
of the railroad and hearing from
shippers.
Shippers win recall that prior to
October 21st, 1914. the L. & N. had in
effect on intrastate business scale
of class rates that were considerably
higher - the class rates opeaabefs
in this state by the Atlantic Coast
line and Seaboard Air Line Rail-
ways. This higher scale was offset to
some extent by the fact that the L.
& N. had put into operation COM
modify rates on certain commodities
between certain points on its line.
These commodity rates were usually
lower than would have been made by
the application OF, the mileage scale.
Effective October 21st, 1914, the
commissioners ordered into effect on
the Louisville & Nashville railroad
the same scale of class rates that was
being operated by the Seaboard Air
Line and Atlantic Coast Line Rail
ways, with the exception that on the
Pensacola division the old scale OF
class rates was allowed to remain in
effect.
|, The new rates ordered in by the
commission were found to be in many
cases higher than the commodity
rates that were being voluntarily op.
Grated by the L. & N. railroad. II
was also found, however, that in &
good many cases these commodity
rates were lower than the rates pre-.
scribed by the commission, particu
larly for longer distances, and it wa.
ruled by the commissioners that il
all such cases the lowest rate must b,
observed.
Some of the articles on which rate
will be raised if the application il
granted are as follows:
Empty barrels, brick, building ma
terial, coal and coke, cotton, cotton
seed, cross ties, fire clay, fertilizer
