a Norwegian decree barring German sub
marines from Norway's territorial waters.
Immediately following the issuance OF
the Norwegian decree, Germany began an
active ~" boat campaign against Nor

ALEXANDRIA DRY TO RELEASE CARS
Railroads Would Penalize for
Delays In Unloading.

Placing the blame for the shortage of
railroad cars and the consequent coal
famine directly upon the shoulders OF the
shippers, the railroads of the country
propose to have the Interstate Commerce
Commission authorize heavy penalties for
delays in loading and unloading freight
cars.
A prominent Washington shipper was
informed yesterday by the freight agent
Of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad that
the common carriers will ask the right
to charge 81 for the second day that a
car remains in a private yard or on a
spur track without being loaded or un-
loaoeo' $ for the third day. 81 for the
fourth day, and increases graduated
with the increased delay
Promptness in unloading cars and load
ing them for shipment will be recognized
by system of credits, whereby a ship
per unloading a car in half the allotted
time will be given the surplus period for
future shipments that may admit Of de-
lay.
That the shippers of the country will
hight the proposal of the railroads seems
certain. II will cost them hundreds of
thousands Of dollars yearly
Reports from all sources yesterday in
dicated an improvement in the coal situa-
tion in Washington.

BRUSIL0FF REVIEWS
OFFENSIVE ON TEUTONS
Violent Fighting in Progress Over Ex-
tended Front.

CBy the international News seFvIceD
London, Oct 31.-Violent fighting is in
progress once more along a wide stretch
of the Russian-German front. From the
wooded Carpathians northward to the
latitude of Lemberg the hostile forces are
contending with hOnors thus far even.
The outbreak is believed here TO be a
bona fide renewal of General Brusiloff's
offensive, directed toward breaking tho
German stone wall, which for so many
weeks has stemmed the Russian tide. The
result of the series of battles Is being
watched with intense interest
In Volhynia the efforts Of Brusiloff's
army were crowned with a measure of
success. Attacking west Of Lutsk near
Pustonyty and Oshcist, the Russians
stormed and won the foremost Teuton
trenches Hastily consolidating their
gains, they were able to hold them against
vigorous counter attacks. Petrograd de-
clares that Teuton attacks likewise were
repulsed south Of Brezanzy.

crowds and a few hscklers in his final
dash through Indiana today. The
heckIers asked him about the Dan
bury hatters case, what he would do
about Z war munition embargo, and If he
favored warning Americans off belllg-

His answers drew tremendous ap-
pIause. Mr.. Hughes told a friendly
heckler at Columbus. Ind, where an
audience Of 10000 persons greeted him,
that q war munitions embargo and
warning Americans off beIligerent
ships would constitute "a very
thoughtlsss policy" and that he stood
for the maintenance of every right,
including the right OF travel and the
right o. shipment"
At Washington, Ind, another heck

How about the Danbury hatters'

nounced last night he had asked the

He indicated that this government will
await affdavits, being gathered by Amer
ican consular and diplomatic agents in
England, before making any announce
ment.
officials felt slightly reassured after
learning Of a statement authorized by
Count vop Bernstorr. the German Am
bassador, who said:
There is not the slightest intention
on the part of the German government
OF changing its submarine policy and
there has been absolutely no change in
that policy. Germany intends to keep
its pledges to the United States, and there
must be some explanation OF the attack
on the Marina. Probably the ship did
not stop when called. and was trying to
run away"
1t was generally accepted here last
night that the Rowanmore was at
tempting to escape when fired upon, and
the statements Of the persons on board
that the submarine continued TO fire after
the vessel stopped are thought to be due
to the excitement Of the sailors. They
might easily imagine, after being under
fire for an hour. that they were still
being fired upon, a naval official said
Mr.. Lansing said he was waiting for
proof in the case Of the Marina, and
added that he would not discuss the mat
ter until he had received the sworn testi-
mony of survivors. The cruical point
appears 10 be whether the Marina was
warned. and II so. whether the ship tried
to escape.
