SCARCITY IF RAW COTTON CLOSES
 MANY MILLS

VIENNA, Feb. IT. - Owing to gov ernmental restrictions in the manu- facture of cotton goods, a large num- Der of factories in Austria-Hungary have closed down. Only those estab- lishments continue running which are making materials for the army, and owing to the shortage of raw cotton even their output is limited. Hitherto the manufacturers have been assist ing the unemployed, but the general situation has now become so serious that the governments in Vienna and Budapest have been forced to come to the rescue of the workers. Both have agreed to grant subventions, un- der the supervision of a joint com- mission composed of representatives of the manufacturers and workers, and officials from the ministers of the in terior. finance and commerce.

 SITUATION

WASHINGTON. Feb. r. - All of the data which the state department had in its possession regarding the Mexican situation, and which was recently transmitted to the Senate committee on foreign affairs by the President. has been ordered to be printed by the committee. The com mittee decided to omit nothing, the desire being to lay the condition bare to the American people. so that they might be fully appraised of the reasons behind the administration handling of Mexican affairs. The information was considered not to be of such a nature as it's publication would be a breaking of confidence. Among the information contained is letter to President Wilson from Secretary of State Lansing, stating that during the years 1913. 1914 and 1915 seventy-six Americans were killed in Mexico, as compared with forty-seven for the three previous years.

WASHINGTON, Feb. r. - The Senate subcommittee on the judiciary is still engrossed with listening to protestants over the appointment or Louis D. Brandeis to the supreme court bench. The chief witness today was Moorefield Storey, an eminent Boston lawyer. with nationwide re- putation. who has been president or the American Bar Association. Storey said that in his opinion it would be a serious mistake to elevate Brandeis to the vacant place of Justice Lamar. He detailed some of Brandeis legal operations in the past, mentioning particularly his connection with the old New York and Northeast railroad, and claimed that through the manipu- lations of Brandeis that the road was wrecked in 1892 and 1893, and as a result was abandoned by the New York, New Haven and Hartford. Storey asserted that if it had not been for Brandeis the road would have weathered it's evil days, and be in operation now, but his attacks against the concern made such a thing i'm possible at the time.

 SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. Y, - The postoffice department has asked for bids for carrying the mail by aero plane over several routes in Alaska. Separate bids are being asked for each route. The routes as set out in the published notice are from Valdez to Fairbanks, from Fairbanks to Ia mana, from Panama to Kaltag, from Kaltag to Nome, from Seward to Idit- arod, from Iditarod to Nome, and from Seward to Anchorage. Much surprise is expressed over the calling of bids for aeroplane service between Sew ard an Anchorage as the government is building a railroad between those points, which the commission in charge claim will be ready for oper- ation before the end of the present var, as very little of the line between Seward and Anchorage remains to be constructed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17. - Ger many is being prevailed upon to in form the United States that if passen- ger liners leaving American ports with defensive armament. are to be immune from submarine attacks with the effect that the German govern ment promised last September, when the sinking of the Arabic was in con troversy. Advices from Berlin are to the effect that the German govern ment expects some assurances that liners will not attack submarines.

It is authoritatively stated that Ger many, because of her unusual position will not accept the suggestion of the United States that liners earring arms be immune from attack under any previous assurances.

 Although the day was cloudless,
 hardly ray of sunlight pierced the lenvelcping dust.

 increased in violence steadily. By davlignt the music of the bands, which played carols instead of buclers sounding reveille, was heard only in snatches.
