Figures Show Huge Profits, but
Expenses Are Mounting So
Rapidly That Rates Must Be

IN, MORNING JouAnAL spEciAL tsAsso Hirsl
New York, Oct 16.-Operating and
gross revenues of the Atchison. To-
peka and Santa Fe railway for the
year endin9 June 80 last, increased
s22,41S,72S to $156,179,121. and op-
Grating expenses increased s12.6O2,60s
to $s6,333,569, leaving net increase
in operating revenue of $9,S14, 120 for
the year, according to the annual re-
bort of the road issued today.
The increase in operating expenses
Is referred to by President Ripley and
Chairman Hines in the report as a
reason for a renewal Of the applica-
ton made by the road during the year
for an increase in freight rates. They
said that 1t was unfortunate that when
the application was denied "the large
earnings were plainly visible, while
the greatly enhanced expense had not
yet come clearly into view; and this
condition prevailed UP to the end OF
the fiscal year for which this report
is made. At present the expenses are
beginning to tell on all the carriers
and somewhat later conditions may
call for renewal of our application"
Net income of s51,321.917, accord.
ing to the report, represented a return
Of sos per cent on property invest
ment. Taxes amounted to $9,S70,624,
an increase Of 1850, 900 over the pre-
ceding year, representing s.32 per
cent of gross returns, and 16.49 per
cert of net operating expenses.
Because of the heavy increase In
federal taxes. says the report. 1t is
by no means improbable that total
taxes for the calendar year 1917. may
amount TO $12,O00.000 or twice the
annual average for recent years, and
possibly more.

Apparently there has been no ces'
sation in the rapid program of the
Germans to seize in its entirety the
Russian island of Oesel at the head of
the Gulf of Finland. But although
their troops now nave taken the
greater portion of the island. the AID
they had expected from their fleet IN
putting down Russian opposition in
adjacent waters is meeting with con-
siderable resistance from the Russian
warships.
The Russians are disinclined to
throw their naval vessels into gem
eral engagement with the invaders,
but in a small battle with torpedo
craft and possibly light cruisers the
Russians have sunk two German tor
pedo boats and damaged two others IN
Soela sound, to the north of Oesel Is
land, while the Russians themselves
lost a torpedo boat destroyer. The
German vessels, which were accom-
panied by a battleship. put to sea
after the engagement.
Russians Resisting.
The German land forces now are
driving hard against the Svorb penin-
sula, on the southwestern portion of
the Island of Oesel, with the object
Of capturing the batteries Serel, which
dominates the eastern'entranc to the
Gulf Of Riga According to the Ber-
lin war office, the Russians in this
region are isolated but are desperately
resisting.
Berlin reports also that Arbo island.
off the southern coast of Oesel, and
Runo islands, in the middle of the
Gulf of Riga, have been occupied by
Teutonic troops. 1t is asserted that
2,4O0 prisoners, thirty guns, twenty
one machine guns and several aero
planes were captured by the Germans
in Oesel.
Guns Thunder Continuously.
The troops of the entente allies are
still keeping to their trenches in
Flanders, probably awaiting better
ment of soil conditions. Possibly,
however, Field Marshal Haig and the
French commander on his left have
not vet sufficiently pounded the Ger
man lines with their big guns to war

for further gains. Day and night the

To the south along the Aisne FROM
the Germans, after lively lombard
ment have again attacked the French
and succeeded in penetrating theif
entrenchments. The French immedl'
ntely counter attacked and regained
the lost ground.
Battle Expected Soon.
There Is every indication that
shortly along the Isonzo front IN the
Austro-Italian zone another big bat
tie will begin. From the head of the
Adriatic northward to the Bainsizza
plateau intense artillery duels are IN
progress. Considerable activity also
ID in progress on the Carso.
Aerial raids in force have been re-
sumed by British naval aviators on
