TUSCANY SHAKEN

can Rumblings Accompany Shock.

Florence. Italy, March 5.-A slight
eartn silociS,5 lasting four seconds, felt
in Tuscany last night, caused no
fatalities and only slight property
damage. according to reports from
various points where the tremors, were
observed. The shocks caused panics
and 1t was fearsd It might presage a
repetition of the recent disaster in the
Abruzzi district.
The fact that the shocks were ac-
companied by subterranean rumblings
have given rise to the belief that it
was of volcanic origin.
Reports from Tuscany and a portion
OF the Emilia region say the shock was
felt everywhere in those sections with
more or less severity. At Pisa the
first shock was followed soon after
ward by another. Both were undula-
tory from the north to the south and
were attended by underground rumbl-
ings. Many of the residents of the city
rushed to the celebrated cathedral
fearing the effect Of the shock on the
leaning tower.

years as to the cost per mile or haunng
freight and the revenue of the roads
on a mileage basis. Mr.. Felto-. held that
the mileage income Of his road was de-
creasing. He denied that his road was
so prosperous that it did not need In
creased rates, and declared the roads
should be insured a profit.
How about other lines Of business
ought they to be assured a definite
profit 2" asked Mr. Thorne.
"The difference is that other lines OF
business are not restricted In price for
what they have to SELL" said Mr. FELTON,,
A. E. Helm, representing shippers IN
Kansas, asked:
do you think all the roads should
be given increases just because one
Of them needs more revenue?" ?"
"One road is typical" responded MT
FELTON,. "The reason we are combining
our efforts is because all of US are In
the same need"
So far as his road was concerned, the
witness said. if the increase was al
lowed the increase still would not be
sufficient to meet needs.
Luther Walter attorney for certain
packers, asked if the road presidents
ever met to agree on how much ad-
vance should be requested.
Asked by Representative Daniels
the purpose of the question, Mr.. Wal
ter said:
'My informa ton is that the presi-
dents disagreed as to what would be
asked for. Some wanted per cent,
some per cent, and some 20 per cent
and finally they agreed to ask the
maximum amount, and passed the
buck to the commission"
Mr.. FELTON, replied he never heard OF
such discussion and that none took
place.
Festus j. Wade. of ST. Louis, ap-
pearing for the roads, testified that the
value of railroad securities had greatly
decreased as investments.
1T is due to the constant TRADE
against the roads, said Mr.. Wade.
THE decrease in railroad values may
be explained in various ways. If you
are democrat you will blame 1t on the
war, if you are q republican you may
blame it on the adverse legislation. but
the fact remains that the deprecated
credit of the roads is hurting not the
railroads alone but the whole country
Many western roads narrowly escaped
receiverships last year before the war;
Mr.. Wade produced figures showing
the depreciation in the values of bonds
and stocks of various railroad groups.

German Forces Largely Withdsawn

earians Arc Left to Fight Alone =
Making Brave Stand But Suffering
Heavy Losses - Bombardment Of
DardaneIies Continues.

London, March 5.-Even if no de-
present Russian offensive. the allies to-
day are advancing the claim that the
Austro- German plans for their spring
campaign in the east have been
meaurably +, interfered with. A few
weeks ago Field Marshal Won linden
burg was sweeping victoriously thru
northern Poland. while in the south the
Austrians were pressing forward in
Bukowina and Galicia
Today these roles appear to be re-
versed. Russian troops are attacking
along the German line from Niemen to
the vistnla, and altho the Germans are
t clinging tenaciously.to their positions
| before Ossowetza and at other points
north of the Vistula, their thrust
toward Warsaw has been brought to a
standstill and they are being slowly
forced back to their own frontier.
Austrians Fight eraveIy.
Other news dispatches reaching Lon
don set forth that In the south the
Austrians and Hungarians continue to
fling themselves with great bravery and
even greater loss of life against the
Russian lines. The Russian general
staff declares these attacks have
brought no gains.
The German contingent in the Car
pathians has been reduced to three
army corps according to reports here.
which leaves the Austro- -Hungarians
to bear the brunt of battle.
In the meantime the allied fleet is
slowly battling up the Dardanelles. The
sultan Of Turkey, according to re-
port from Athens, already has fed from
Constantinople. This, however, has
not been confirmed, and reports from
Turkish sources, notably an interview
with Enver Pasha,, deprecate the seri-
BUSINESS of the bombardment of the
Dardanelles and insist that the real
defenses of the straits have not been
affected.
1t can be said that from the British
point Of view the situation today is
taken as favorable to the allies. The
South African rebellion has been
crushed; the Turkish invasion of Egypt
has been Abandoned; the reports from
the eastern battle front are favorable;
no adverse news regarding the bonn
bardment Of the Dardanelles has been
received, and the embargo on foodstuffs
to Germany is about to be enforced.
In the western arena the Germans
are fighting hard to recover ground
lost during the last fortnight. The
allies report progress both in the
Champagne and the Argonne districts
