Washington.--The Interstate Com.
merce Commission sent to the
Senate its report on the investi.
cation of the finances, rates and
practices of the Louisville and
Nashville and allied railroads. 1t
charged the Louisville and Nashville
with acquiring competing lines and
with carrying on for years at a cost
Of millions Of dollars an elaborate
political and publicity campaign to
eliminate competition and influence
public opinion.
Further inquiry, and. if possible. in
spection of the railroads correspond
ence, was said to be necessary. The
report was written before the Supreme
Court handed down its opinion holding
that the commission was without
power to force the company to submit
its correspondence as well as its rec
ords and books to scrutiny.
Proof OF Monopoly Sought.
The investigation, authorized last
spring by Senate resolution intro
duced by Senator Lea, of Tennessee,
was directed mainly to discover
whether the Louisville and Nashville,
through control of the Nashville, Chat
tanooga and st. Louis Railway and
smaller lines, had restrained competi-
ton throughout much of the territory
served by those roads whether the
'one-time control Of the Louisville and
Nashville by the Atlantic Coast Line
Railroad operated to the same and in
the much wider field the two systems
serve. and what amounts of money the
Louisville and Nashville and its re-
lated roads have contributed to
political activities and other efforts to
fight competition.
The commission qualities it's declara-
ton that the Louisville and Nashville
has wilfully restrained competition by
pointing out that in some instances its
energies were directed to meet the
competition of other large systems,
and passes over the question of
whether in all instances the course
pursued was contrary TO public inter-
lest.
THE various payments made on ac-
count of the Tennessee Railroad Asso-
station by the Nashville, Chattanooga
and st. Louis Railroad and the Louis
vile and Nashville Railroad Company,

The impression is general in official
quarters that strong protest would
be made against the action of the
Allies, which was regarded as an un-
precedented and novel step.

The Furious Conflict In East.

London. The Russian offensive

They have successfully checked the
German advance in North Poland,
where the Germans are reported to be

The attempt to force the straits by

The opening of the straits would re-

TWO BILLIONS FOR WAR.
German Federal Councii's Bill For
Extraordinary Expenditures.

Berlin, via London.-The Federal
Council adopted the preliminary bud
get estimates, including 10,042 ,000, 900
marks ($2,510,5O0,000) for extraur.
binary expenditures. This amount is
for carrying on the war. The estimate
OF ordinary expenditures is 1898 GEO.
900 marks (s830. $50 000).
Almost all OF the amount to be de-
voted to the war will be raised by
loans.
No redemption Of war loans is pre-
vided for. as methods for such re-
demption can only be decided upon
after the war. The Treasury bonds
credit it fixed at 1,000,000.000 marks
($250, 000,0O0).
The funds to provide for those killed
in the war amounted at the beginning
of February to 41,s3s,900 marks. The
armament levy is estimated at $780,.
10000 marks, of which. it is expected,
two installments Of 100000 marks
will be paid.
The increase in revenue in the ordi.
nary budget is estimated at 25,906, 450
marks and the increased expenditure
at 1S0,369, 900 marks.

ALL SHIPS TO BE SEIZED.
Allies Take Drastic Step To sta,ve
Out Germany.

London.-Great Britain, France and
their allies have advised neutral coun-
tries that they hold themselves at lib
erty to stop all shipping to and from
Germany and the countries of her
allies.
The declaration is not reply to the
American representations looking to
a cessation of German submarine
activity and the admission of food to
Germany for civilians. The declara-
ton will not affect cargoes shipped be-
fore the date of this advice to neutrals
No special articles of commerce will
be mentioned in the Bridsh-French
declaration. Cotton and foodstuffs,
for example. will not be specified. but
the terms will be general. The situa-
ton created will be entirely justified,
according to the English view, because
