CIRCULARS SENT TO 100000
 BRoTHERHooD MEMBERS
After a Conference of the Four Broth erhood Chiefa in New York.

New York, Dec. 29.-Special circu- lars putting up to the 100000 members responsibility for the next step to be taken by the railroad brotherhoods in their controversy with the railroads over the application and interpretation of the Adamson act were sent broad cast by telegraph after conference of the four brotherhood chiefs here to- day.
 Announcement of the action taken was made by William G. Lee, presi- dent of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, prior to his departure for the west. He was accompanied by the other brotherhood leaders whose conference with the railway managers yesterday resulted in a disagreement.
 Earlier in the day the four chiefs issued a somewhat cryptic statement over their signatures declaring that the attitude of the railroads threatened to wipe out the benefits that should accrue to the men from the passage of the Adanlson act and asserting that for that reason the entire situation is to be placed before the member ship"
 The chiefs refused to say whether the action was yelled threat of an- other strike vote such as brought about the eight hour day legislation.

Pressing in on southern MoIdavia from three sides, apparently with all their vigor, the forces of the central powers are making progress against stiff resistance. On the Transylvanian- Moldavian frontier, in the region north of Rimnik-Sarat, and in the Dobroudja opposite Braila, Berlin reports, the Austro- German and Bulgarian troops are advancing.
 A new thrust seemingly has been started by the Austro Germans along the Moldavian frontier, thus adding to the difficulties of the Russians and Rumanians, already hard pressed from the south and east. Several lines of positions and 1,400 prisoners were taken by the invaders in the first day pf their offensive into Moldavia from the west, which may have for it's pur- pose the cutting off of the retreat of the Russo-Rumanian troops now op- erating along the southern Moldavian border.
 Along the River Kasino and west of Covesha, Petrograd says, Rumanian troops were driven back nearly mile. A desperate battle also is reported as taking place near Sesmezo, near Ocna, and within the Mo1davian boundary. North of Rimnik- Sarats all attacks were repulsed, according to Petro- grad.

ERUDITE DEDUCTIONS
 BY EMINENT SCIENTISTS
DivuIsed at Biological Section of the American Science Association.

New York, Dec 29.-War enthusi- ests who maintain that nation will lose its inherited virile virtues by not going to war are not supported in their theory. by present biological knowledge, in the opinion of Dr. Jacques Loeb, head of the department Of experimental biology of the Rocke- feller institute. Dr. Loeb addressed the biological section of the American Association for the Advancement of Science on Biology and the War to- day. He contended that the struggle Attest" are no laws of nature" in the sense in which the term flaw" is used in the exact sciences.
 '-The biology of which the war en- thusiasts make use is essentially anti quated," declared pr. Loeb, "and so we need not be surprised to find that they consider war to be based upon what they call the biological law of nature, the struggle for existence or the sur vival of the fittest.'
 These war enthusiasts maintain that unless nation engages occasion ally in war it will lose all these virile virtues especially courage, which are necessary for it's survival We do not need to argue whether the acts com mitted in a state of homicidal emotion are the real or only manifestations of courage; we may also overlook the manifestations of virility left behind by invading or retreating armies.
 "The assumption that virility or courage (whatever may be meant by these terms) will disappear if not praised in this form of war implies an unproven and apparently false biological assumption, namely, that functions not praised or acts not or ganized will disappear in the off spring. -s,

PRESIDENT WILSON HAS
 SIGNED THE FERRIS BILL Opening Up 64o-Acre Homesteads for
 Stock Raising Purposes.

Washington, Dec. 29. = President Wilson late today signed the Ferris bill opening up 640-acre homesteads for stock raising and grazing -pur- poses. It is accounted of great inn portance to the western states.
 The bill passed the house year ago, the senate on the closing day of the last session of congress, and fin al agreement was reached between conferees last week. Representative Ferris of Oklahoma, it's author, said tonight that considerable part of the 300,000,00O acres of public lands in the west and the 375,000,0o0 acres in Alaska could be utilized for stock raising under the law. Thus, he said, thousands of homeless citizens would be able to gain homes. The law raises the homestead unit from a maximum of 320 acres to $40 on arid semi arid, non-irrigable and non-tim- bered public land.
 The bill was strongly endorsed by the interior department which in formed congress that it would result in having tn -enumber of cattle in the west greater than during the most prosperous days of the cattle kings

members of the trade commission an- nounced that despite an apparent un- willingness by the manufacturers to keep up the investigation, the com missions report would be issued prob ably in about ten days and that such recommendations to congress would be made as were thought necessary. At the same time it was said the com- mission would be in position probably by tomorrow night to announce wheth- CT it's consideration of a paper distrl- button plan showed an actual paper shortage and a need for distribution under supervision of the commission.
 Prosecutions May Follow.
 It was strongly intimated during the day that facts uncovered by the com mission will be turned over to the de- partment of justice. It was announced that if the commission failed to re- lieve conditions, some other govern mental agency might be able to help. The report to congress, it is under
 stood, will score manufacturers for raising prices to the extent of forcing many small publishers out of business. Manufacturers proposed the distri-
 button plan at a hearing two weeks ago. Today's hearing was a resump- study the plan and give the manufac- turers time to go over the commis- sfon's cost of production figures.
 Manufacturers and Jobbers Blamed  Publishers testifying today blamed
 both manufacturers and jobbers for
 prevailing conditions in the newspaper
 world. It was declared that jobbers had taken advantage of the last two weeks to try to frighten publishers into paying high prices by claiming shortage existed Which would pre- vent many publishers from filling their needs for the coming year. More tes- timony was brought also concerning alleged refusals to sell to publishers, and regarding different prices quoted | by the same manufacturers. It was charged that an effort was being made | to discourage buying associations i through which publishers hope to pur- ! chase their paper more cheaply.
 Publishers Building Plants.
 Publishers, it was said. are going ahead rapidly with their plans for constructing paper making plants ot their own. By the middle of 1913 said A. J. Mcintyre. paper expert oi
 the Newspaper Publishers Association | the publishers will be virtually inde- pendent of the paper makers.

 The Rumanian province of DobrudJa is now almost cleared of defenders, as Berlin says Ratchelu, northeast of the Matchin bridgehead, across the Danube from Braila. has been con- quered. s9atchelu is on the Danube.
 West of the Mouse, in the Verdun region, the forces of the German crown prince have repulsed attacks by French troops against the new Ger man positions on Le Mort Homme, where second and third line trenches were entered by the Germans, and 220 prisoners and seven machine guns taken. Paris admits a slight success for the Germans in this sector, saying that one trench south of Le Mort Homme was entered by the attackers Other efforts to advance between the Mouse and Avocourt and in both Le Mort Homme and Hill BOA were re- pulsed by the French.
 Except for some engagements be- tween patrols around Brody, in Cali cia, no activity is reported from the eastern Macedonian and Austro Italian fronts. British and French troops have carried out successful raids on the west front at various points.

ARRANGEMENTS MADE WITH
 BRITISH PRIZE COURT
Whereby American Claimants May Appear Before 1t Without British Counsel,

London, Dec 2e. $40 p. m-As the result of conferences between Sir Samuel T. Evans. president of the British prize court, and Robert F. Skinner, the American consul general an arrangement has been concluded under which American claimants to cargoes in the British prize court may make their appearance before the court without engaging local legal aid. It is announced that it will be necessary, however, for all claimants .to enter appearance'' this being the formal ac- tion to notify the court of their in- tention to appear in derense of their interests, which may be done by an agent in London qualified to do so by power of attorney. This power of at torney may be executed by the absence claimants in favor of the consult gen. eral, who, if requested it is an- nounced, will take the necessary steps precedent to the submission of the afidavits. The cost of entering ap- pearance is purely nominal, consisting of payment of two sl1illings for stamps.
 As many case are pending in which the value of the woods is so inconsid- erable that the owners would not be justified in employing local attorneys, it is pointed out that the new arrange ment will enable them to secure judg- ment without any expense.

 REORGANIZATION OF B. & M. Miaht Be Obtained in Vermont and

Boston, Dec. 29.-A belief that legis- Ia ation favorable to the reorganization of the Boston and Maine railroad could be obtained in Vermont and New Hampshire in 1917 was expressed in the federal court her etoday by former Governor George H. Prouty of Yer mont and Frank P. Carpenter of Man. chester, N. H., both directors of the road, who testified in the receivership hearing. Lack of definite plan was the reason ascribed by MT. Carpenter for failure to obtain such legislation in New Hampshire last year.
 MT. Prouty and MT. Carpenter. to- gether with three other directors of the Boston and Maine, testified that reorga nization was the only basis on which the roads credit could be firm ly establishe.. A settlement by com- promise of the s4,000,o00 claim of the Hampden railroad was also favored by each of the five directors as a moral and business obligation"
