Dismernberment Of the Austro- Hum
garian Empire will be the penalty If that
nation is defeated in the present war, It
was openly stated in an Officially in
spired article in the Bourse Gazette to-
day. After referring to reports that Rus

Austria or Hungary as being "rImors
without any foundation" the Bourse Ga
zette continues
Peace may be made only after COM
plete and final victory over 'Germauism
only In that event can enduring tran
duility prevail in Europe. This result
could actually be obtained now but for
Its attainment 1t would be necessary to
sacrifice 100000 or 100000 lives Rather

prolonged
"a separate peace with Austro-Hun-

even In this event considerations which
would nave to be affected would hardly
be acceptable to It. The Dual Monarchy
would not only have to consider our de-
nands, but those of Servia and Monte
negro also as well as the demands of the
Slavs within Austro- Hungary. Satisfac-
ton to all of these would mean complete
dismemberment.
Moreover, there is little ground for
separate peace with Hun
gary. which could only be obtained at
the price OF the detachment of the Crown
Of St Stephen from Austria. The first
condition of such q peace
would be our demand and that of our al
les that Hungary. being separated from
Germany, should not only abandon Ger
nan influence, but should become an ally
of Russia, England and France. It is
hardly likely to suppose that the Hun
Sarians would agree to such a demand.

P. R. R. GETS FIRST
CARS FOR MAIN LINE
ELECTRIC SYSTEM
Eight Out of Equipment of
Ninety Arrive; New Serv-
ice to Begin About the
First Of June.

The first shipment of steel electric cars
eight in number-ror use on the main
line of the Pennsylvania Railroad when
the electrified system between Broad
Street station and Paoli has been com
pleted have been received here from the
Altoona shops of the company. and are
now on siding in the West Philadelphia
yard.
Representatives of the railroad said to-
day that the eight cars were shipped here
very early in order that the employees
on thc system where they will be used
may have an opportunity to acquaint
themselves with the mechanism and con-
strEction. An equipment of 80 cars will
be used when the electric system Is first
put into operation. and the SO additional
cars Will be sent in regular shipments, so
that all may be here by the early part of
April.
According to the present plans of the
company the first trains will be run over
the newly electrified road on April /.
These will only be experimental trains,
however, to test the system and to in
struct the engineers and the other men
who Will be in charge of the trains The
first trains to carry passengers will be
run about June 1.
The 20 cars are not new, but are re-
CONSTRUCTED steel SUBURBAN COaCneS, so
arranged that they may be used either
on the steam or the electric trains. The
coaches were originally purchased by the
Pennsylvania at a cost of $4,000 each, and
fitting them with the electrical equipment,
the photographs and the motor has
brought the cost Of each considerably
above that figure The coaches were re-
built and rentted in the Altoona shops.
The work on the electrifcation of the
Main Line was begun early In 1913 JJD

The last poles are now being erected just
outside of Broad Street Station, but the
wires are still to be strung between the

six miles. The total length Of the cleo
trined line when completed will be 20
miles. excluding the Chestnut Hill branch.
The total cost of electrifying the system
exclusive of the cars, will approximate

DOGS TRAINED BY FRENCH
TO SERVE AS MESSENGERS
Intelligent Airedales Carry Dis
patches From French to French.

PNhNAASo II AStAA - AN44Nh " 4 LCIlSll'
PARIS, Jan. 27.-Dogs are doing an i'm
mense service with the French army as
messengers. And it ali came about by
pure chance.
When war broke out there was not a
single dog messenger in the French army,
though the Paris police had used them
to advantage, But after the Germans
invaded France and countless villages
were devastated, thousands of dogs found
themselves homeless. Many were picked
up as company mascots.
In their spare time the men amused
themselves by teaching the dogs to carry
knapsacks, canteens and finally mes
sages from one trench TO another The
dogs not only had an absolute disregard
for gun and rifle fire. but offered an in
significant target. Then commanders
awoke TO their value.
Hundreds were educated" by a special
army branch of the Institute of Zoolog-
ical Psychology under Il. Hachet-Souplet.
The dogs have been taught to hide be-
hind trees upon the approach of human
beings. They know the difference be-
tween a French and German uniform.
They glide nolselessly through underbrush
and in carrying messages always choose
woods. bitches and dry creek beds in
preference 10 open roads, where they
might be potted by sharpshooters. Their
hearing is remarkably developed and IL
Is seldom they fall into the hands of the
enemy. Most OF them are Airedales.

MAN FOUND DYING IN YARD
Badly Wounded and His Body Partly
Stripped of Clothing

Mystery surrounds the finding of half
nude man in the back yard of Alexander
zackrork, at 1914 Edgemont street. with
a severe wound in the back of his head
He is in the Episcopal Hospital. where
physicians say he probably will die.
The police believe the man may have
been waylaid, robbed of his clothing and
then thrown into the back yard to place
suspicion on the occupants of the house
Five men who were arrested Immediately
after the discovery of the body were re-
leased on their own recognizance by Mag
istrate Campbell this morning
Every attempt of the police to learn the
mans identity has failed. His condition
is such that he probably will never be
able to explain his identity and name his
assailants. The man was found by Mrs
Zackrorki. She called her husband. Fear
ing he would be blamed for assautlng
the man, Zackrorkl dragged the uncon-
scious form to an unfrequented lot and
then called the police He later acknowl-
edged it was he who had put the body
on the lot
