WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, Jan. Is. Special; The
most important of the days martial
developments in Europe, If the re
port is based on fact. is the an
nouncement from Petrograd, printed
in Paris, that Germany has informed
Rumania that the latter country
| military measures and it's encourage
ment of a revolutionary movement i'm
Pennsylvania constitute a hostile act.
Rumania has made no secret of the
fact that her army is virtually on a
! war footing, and there have been re
| ports for weeks that she was about to
| enter the conflict on the side of the
allies. Official confirmation of Ger
many's stand Is not o%btalnable, how
ever.
Fiercely contested battles continue
at various points on the western
front, but they have been devoid of
important results, so far as official
reports disclosed. The heaviest bat
ties are reported around Verdun and
in Alsace, while along the Belgian
coast British warships have lombard
ed the German positions at every sign
of action. 8
Renewed aerial activity by both
the Germans and the allies has pro
vided a spectacular feature Of the OPP
erations in the west. Dunkirk has
been the target for German bombs,
while Ostend, Bruges and Zeebrugge
have been visited by air craft of the
allies. All these cities are bases for
military supplies.
The great armies in the east APP
parently are resting on their arm
while their commanders prepare for
new developments. The Germans at
tack in front of Warsaw has become
less determined, while the armies IN
the Carpathians are snowbound. The
Austro-Germans, military observers
! believe. are preparing to turn their
attention TO the southeast, where the
Russians are marching upon Transyl-
vania. The Muscovite forces already
have met strong Austrian opposition.
Only minor engagements are report
ed. however, by the Russian general
staff.
Reports about internal disaffection
in Hungary continue. Three hundred
peace meetings. said to have been ar
ranged for today, are reported to
have been prohibited.
The resignation of the Austrian
premier, Count Sturgkh, is said to be
imminent, and Herr Won B1tlnskl
Austro-Hungarian minister of finance
has been mentioned as his probable
successor. Talk of ~dissension among
the Germanic allies is not seriously
considered, however.
Chief interest in the war, so FAR as
this country is concerned, centers at
present in what action GTedl biilaih
NAV take in reference to the cotton
ship Dacia, about to sail for Germany
from Galveston. and the food laden
Wilhelmina, now on her way to that
country.
Washington expects both ships to
be thrown into the prize courts, but
the state department has not an
nounced definitely what course VIII
be pursued If the vessels are seized
by British warships. Disposition or
these cases is expected to establish
presidents of great Importance to
American shippers.

MAY SEND NOTE
Of INQUIRY To
WESTERN ALLIES

Washington. March 6.--Presdcut
Wilson and Secretary Bryan had IN
der consideration today a note of in
quiry to Great Britain and France
asking how tho declaration Of an en-
barge by the allies on all commercial
Intercourse between Germany and
neutral countries was to be carried
out in actual practice.
Up to late today the Inquiry had
not been sent.
In some quarters it was believed
the Washington government might
await receipt Of the order in council
in which it is reported Great Britain
is preparing to explain IN some de-
tail the general terms Of her original
declaration. Inasmuch, however as
the state department has received no
intimation of when the order might
be expected ii was also considered
possible that the inquiry would not
be long delayed, but might be sent
tomorrow so as to Indicate to the
allies the sOlicitudc Of the United
States over the general restrictions to
its commerce implied in Anglo French
notes
As yet, no reply has been received
from Great Britain to American pro-
posals for the abandonment Of sub
marine warfare. the removal Of mines
and the shipment Of foodstuffs and
conditional cOntraband to Germany
under supervision that would guaran-
tee their distribution to the civilian
population only.

ton Of forty-one western railroads for

why railroads We're not earning SUI

THE railroads of the United States

Lusk. 1T IN a fact you cannot get
away from. You may attribute Il
to the European war the Mexican

fact remains they are under the

THAT isn't true" replied Mr.. Lusk.
MY belief Is that the railroads have
not painted the situation bad enough.
They have been afraid TO hurt their
credit They have not been candid

Improvements as seemed necessary
for the public welfare.
L. r. Wettlng. statistician for the
railroads submitted tables purport-
ing to show that while more money
was steadily put into the roads in the
last seven years, their earning power
at the present freight rates was
steadily decreasing. ON seven per

were earning only on S2,76lO0O,OO

coo upon which there was no income
whatever Two sets " tables were IN
troduced: one showing the income and
outgo of the roads for the seven years

to be less favorable now than they
