RAIL EARNINGS
 SHOW INCREASE

New York, January 6.-(Special.) )-Rail- roads of the United States experienced a turn for the better in their earnings dur ing 1915 such as has seldom been par alleled in their history. Considering the volume of investment capital represented, their current earnings at the opening of the year were the worst since 190S In April signs began to appear of general improvement in the volume of traffic and except for slight slackening in July, that tendency gathered headway through out the remainder of the year. By Octo- Der gross revenues were approximately IA per cent ahead of that month of 1914, and in November the increase was not less than % per cent, with a still higher ratio indicated for December.
 Improvement in net earnings, thanks to the most rigrous economies in both train service and maintenance expenditures, be- gan before he improvement in gross. In every month except January net earn ings exceeded those of the corresponding month of the previous year and as early as April the gain in net assumed large proportions.

HOPE OF OBTAINING
 PROOF THAT PERSIA WAS HIT BY TORPEDO
 HAS BEEN GIVEN UP
Continued from Page one)

acter and a plan showing the pulShead arrangement of the steamship at hand naval experts might be able to determine with some degree of certainty whether a torpedo or a mine caused the Persia to go down. There is little disposition here, however, to credit the suggestion that a mine might have sunk the vessel. It is pointed out that the place of the disaster was nearly midway between the Island Crete and the northern coast of Africa.
 NO MINE FIELDS NEAR
 No mine fields are believed to be in that locality. On the other hand, Aus trian submarines are known to have been active there. Naval officers think that if mine had floated to that part of the sea from a distant field of operations it would have automatically become lneffec- tive while route.
 That any information that may be forthcoming from the Austro -Hunga- rian government will lead to serious complications is considered improbable. Government officials would not be greatly surprised should Ambassador Penfield be informed that an Austrian submarine commander was responsible for the sinking of the Persia, that he exceeded his instructions, or failed to receive them, and that the Austro- Hungarian government regretted the fact and stood ready to make satis- factory amends.
 The state department is represented as not expecting information from Am bassador Gerard at Berlin. No instruc- tions to inquire for information were sent to him. However, the ambassa- dor might have made inquiries at the Berlin foreign office, as has been in- dicated in press dispatches, upon his own initiative.

TWO BODIES FOUND, TWELVE MISSING
 { IN RIVER DISASTER
To Take Divers to Wreck and Examine the Packet Kanawha, Which Sank
 When It Struck Pier

Parkersburg, w. Va, January GA yigilant search was made today in the vicinity of the point where the steam CT Kanawha of the Kanawha Packet company sank in the Ohio river near here last night, but so far only two bodies have been recovered. Twelve persons are known to be missing. Cap tain Brady M. Berry of the packet claims, however, that there were about 20 passengers and a crew of 40 abroad but so far the number of survivors re- ported total only 45 Of these 10 were passengers and 35 members of the crew.
 Arrangements have been made to take divers to the wreck to examine the interior of the packet and search for bodies while notices have been sent to points down the river to keep a watch out for bodies.
 Reports received here last night said that rescue parties from the Ohio shore saved 20 persons from the wa ter immediately after the accident, but a search today failed to disclose any survivors on that side of the river. The fact that the only list of passengers and crew held by the company sank with the boat makes the task of determin- ing the exact number missing difficult.
 Several investigations into the cause of the accident began today.

NO SCHOOL FUNDS
 M|SAPPL|ED, SAYS
 STATE TREASURER
On Contrary, Payments Have Greatly Exceeded
 the Receipts

Montgomery, January 6.-(Specia1) Although less than half million dol lars was collected from the constitu- tional and poll tax funds between Octo- Der 1 and January 1, nearly one million dollars was paid to the common schools of the state during that time, and sew eral hundred thousands of dollars was paid to the old soldiers, according to figures compiled by State Treasurer w. l.. Lancaster.
 Treasurer Lancaster made the calcu- lation in order to reply to insinuatiors of one of the teachers of the state that the public school funds have been di- verted from their proper use.
 HAS NOT BEEN DONE
 q desire to assure you most em- phatical1y that such has not been done during my term of office as state treas urer," wrote MT. Lancaster. and it certainly could not have been done, if at all, for any great length of time during any other administration, unless you contend that the entire school fund is collected one year in advance
 Treasurer Lancaster then pointed out that if the entire school fund should be collected one year in advance it would require approximately $2,500,OO0 to re- main idle in the treasury for 12 months. Again, if such were the case, that $2,500,000 should have been in the treasury on October for school pur- poses, then the state would be $5,000, 900 behind instead of $2,500,000, and instead of there having been a surplus on hand at the end of Governor Jelks' administration, there would have been a deficit"
 Figures are then given by the treas urer showing the total amount of col lections between october 1 and Janu- ary 1, and the disbursements for schools and old soldiers In conclusion Treas urer Lancaster wrote:
 Believe me, my dear professor, there is only one of two things to do-vote bonds or increase taxes. The verdict of the voters on January IS will say which shall be done, and state officers will necessarily follow their instructions"

TURKS PAID DEARLY


 and the New Zealand and Australian ar tillery, an Indian mountain artillery brigade and the Sixty ninth brigade Royal Field artillery, were getting the chance of lifetime. As successive solid lines of Turks topped the crest of the ridge, gaps were torn through their for nation and an iron rain fell on them as they tried to reform in the gullies.
 Not here only did the Turks pay dear ]y for their recapture of the vital crest. Enemy endorsements continued to move up under heavy and accurate fire from our guns. Still they kept top ping the ridges and pouring down the western slopes of Chunnuk Bair as if determined to gain everything they had lost. But once they were over the crest they became exposed not only to the full blast of the guns naval and mili- tary, but a battery of 10 New Zealand machine guns which played upon their serred ranks at close range until their barrels were red hot.
 Enormous losses were inflicted and of the swarms which had once fairly crossed the crest line only handful ever struggled back to their own side of Chun- nuk river.
 At the same time strong forces of the enemy were hurled against the spurs of the northeast where there arose a con fict for the ridge. Portions of our line were pierced and the troops were driven clean down the hill. At the foot of the hill the men who were supervising the transports of food and water were rallied by Staff Captain Street. Unhesitatingly they followed him back, where they plunged again into the midst of that series of struggles in which generals fought in the ranks and men dropped their scientific weapons and caught one another by the throat.
 WAS NO FLINCHING
 The Turks came on again and again. Fighting magnificently and calling upon the name of God, our men stood to 1t and maintained by many deed of daring the old traditions of their race. There was no fiinching; they died in the ranks where they stood. Here Generals Cayley, Baldwin and Cooper and all their gallant men achieved great glory. On this bloody field fell Briga- dier General Baldwin, who earned his first laurels on Caesars camp at Lady smith. There, too, fell Brigadier Gen. eral Cooper badly wounded
 Toward this supreme struggle the absolute last two battalions from the general reserve were now hurried, but by 10 o'clock in the morning the ef-

General Hamilton describes as weakened in numbers though not in spirit.
 First our men were shelled by every enemy gun," he says, then assaulted by a huge column consisting of no less than a full division plus three battalions The North Lancashire men were simply over whelmed in their shallow trenches by sheer weight of numbers, while the Wiltshires, who were caught out in the open, were literally almost annihilated
 .'The ponderous mass of the enemy swept over the crest and swarmed round the Hampshires, General Baldwin's brig ade, which had to give ground and were only extricated with great difficulty and very heavy losses
