The Chicago, South Bend and
Northern Indiana Railway Co. will
not attempt 10 have the Indiana pub
lie service commission revoke its
order requiring the elevation of
tracks over the Lincoln highway near
New Carlisle, according to a state
ment issued Friday morning by +. /.
Hardy. general manager of the COM
pany.
a suit showing why the order
either should be Withdrawn or re-
voked was filed by the Chicago, Lake
Shore and South Bend Railway Co.
it is said that the New York Central
Railroad Co. is preparing 70 file a
similar suit.
In his statement Mr.. Hardy points
cut that the cost Of putting in the
subway will be a heavy burden TO
the Northern Indiana lines. but that
the company is willing to help pro-
mote public safety. In return he
asks that the public use all care TO
prevent accidents at grade crossings.
Following is the statement given
out by Mr.. Hardy;
1T has been decided that the Chi
cago. South Bend and Northern In
diana Railway Co. will not bring
suit TO avoid the building Of the New
Carlisle overway The commission
has intimated its willingness to agree
on a type Of construction that will
be satisfactory 10 the general pub
lie, and as low in cost as possible for
the railroad. Although the cost TO
the railroad Will be heavy burden,
in line with its general policy, IL
has agreed u the elevation in order
10 promote public safety and TO tend
TO lessen accidents.
All OF the railroads and traction
line are having 10 spend a great deal
Of money 10 abolish grade crossings
but it viii be a long time before the
majority Of the grade crossings can
be eliminated. The general public
should take all precautions possible
in approaching all grade crossings
TO avoid accidents. The public should
bear in mind tnas IT is much easier
for light car or vehicle 20 be stop
ped than for a heavy electric car,
weighing so or 60 tons. 20 make a
stop and avoid an accident.
In taking this step we feel that
we are doing everything within our
power 10 avoid accidents, and in re-
turn will ask the cooperation Of the
travelling public In avoiding grade
crossing accidents"

The Austro- Hungarian army.

the city was less seriously damaged
than was at first reported. At the
time Of the capture of the fortress
on Wednesday. it was believed that

New Weapon Effective.
The fall OF Gorilla was chiefly
due TO the terrific effects OF "A new
weapon called the lombard. "
writes the military expert OF the
Idea Rationale The lombard re-
sembles "A large Howitzer and throws
heavy projectile. charged with
eelatine. but has a range OF only
about 400 feet. The difference be-
tween artillery and the lombard
lies in the projectile. The Italian
shell Immediately imbeds itself in
the ground and eNplodes. excavating
large hole The projectile thrown
by the lombard eXplodes on the
surface SCATTERING entanglements
and destroying fortifications OF a
large area. This new arm has
proved invaluable against the Sa-
botinO and Lorinza fortihcauons."
