DOMESTIC PROBLEMS ID HOLD ATTENTION
 IF CONCREES NOW
IRepublican 4. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Congress having disposed of the war declaration against Austria Hungary, turns this week to pressing domestic problems.
 Foremost on the new legislative calendar is the railroad question. Con- gressional leader: plan immediate ac ton when President Wilson's decision regarding measures to unify railroad operations is make known. A special address to congress on the subject is regarded as possible if the president decides legislation is necessary. There is wide difference of views on the pro- posals for government control of the railroads, voluntary unification of the transportation system and government financial aid.
 There is much general business on the calendar to be disposed of before recessing for the holidays. The senate will reconvene tomorrow and the house Tuesday with committees of both bod ies planning to proceed with appro- priation bills and other measures.
 Passage this week by the house of the $333, 100000 postoffice appropria- tion bill is planned.
 Woman suffrage and prohibition are promised attention this week. The senate judiciary committee expects to acs Tuesday on the resolutions pro- posing constitutional amendments and there is talk of votes on both in the house next week. Polls on both are being taken and are said to indicate probable defeat for the suffrage and victory for prohibition.
 Legislation supplementing the Aus | trian war declaration, in behalf o1 l Bohemians, Poles, Czechs and other Austrian subjects whom many mem. | bers think should not be classified a: enemy aliens. will be considered dur l ing the week by committees of botf bodies of congress.

ACTS OF BRAVERY
 REVEALED AFTER HALIFAX DISASTER
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

HALIFAX, N. S, Dec. 9.-An Asso- ciated Press dispatch from Pittsburg, telling of a munitions plant explosion there, was coming over the leased wire of the Canadian Press at five minutes after nine o'clock Thursday morning and the operator here had just copied the word explosion when the build ing rocked with the concussion from the explosion of the munitions ship. Reading faster than he wrote, M. l.. Backer, the operator. was getting the cause of the explosion has not been determined' when the shock occurred but while the typewriter was trying to jump away from him Backer finished the sentence. That was the last word that came for six hours.
 Less than an hour later Backer en- tered his home to find his baby in a cradle safe under blanket which was covered with shower of glass. His wife was severely sinjured.v Part of a shell, weighing IS pounds, had l ploughed through the wall of his home, two feet above the place where the baby slept.
 The Halifax Herald was informed today by Canadian government rail- | way officials that a message came 1 over the wires a minute before the eX l plosion occurred. It was from Vincent l P. Coleman, the operator at Richmond station, directly overlooking the scene of the collision and read:
 1 "A intuition ship is on fire and is
 making for pier eight. Good bye" ! Coleman's charred body was found
 that night.
 How the city of Halifax was saved
 from greater damage by the bravery oi
 a former British skipper was revealed today.
 The British steamer Picton, heavily laden with munitions like the Monf Blanc, was lying close enough to bt ] ripped and torn by the explosion Nearly every member of the crew, in.
 cluding their commander, was killed
 Later, as fire started on the decks those of the crew who had survived abandoned the ship. And then oc.
 cured an act of heroism worthy O
 the best traditions of the sea. Captain
 J. w. Harrison, marine superintendent
 of the Furness- -Wilthy line at Halifax
 knew that the Picton had put in her.
 several days before with a broker
 rudder. Harrison also knew of tn
 cargo. From shore he could see littl
 streaks of flame and clouds of smok arising from the deck of the helpless ship. The vessel was near the hear of the city and if she had blown u the shock would have razed anothe part of Halifax.
 It took only a half minute for tn captain to reach the blazing ship. H cut the steel hawsers and set he adrift, but he went with her. The fir was easily accessible and, attaching reel fhose, he played a stream c
 water on the blaze and soon had under control.

ITALIAN
 FRONT IS HOLDING

Of first interest fl the world war is the brilliant stand the Italians have made in keeping back the rush of the Austro German forces from the Asiago plateau region to the plains of North ern Italy. Although the enemy had bent back the line of the defenders to a point where it seemed that it must give way under the press of overwhel- ming numbers the Italians, reinforced by British and French troops. have, for the moment at least, brought the fighting to pause.
 Their infantry and shock troops baked the-Austrian and German guns are still heavily bombarding various points along the front between the Piave and Brenta rivers, but they are being answered almost shot for shot by the cannon of the allies. From the passes which they are holding, the Italians have brought into play with great effect large boulders which were rolled down upon the enemy as they tried to make their way southward toward the plain.
 Little infantry activity is in progress on the front in France and Belgium, although on various sectors from the North sea to the region of Verdun mutual bombardments are ensuing. The German artillery has shown consider able activity south of Cambrai and in the regions of Moeuvres and Banteux In the Verdun sector the Germans have made another attempt to pierce the French line in the region of Ben zonvaux, but were repulsed after
 somewhat brisk fighting and suffered considerable casualties.

NeW Regulations For
 Livestock Shipments

of this custom, what is called the zone system of regulating shipments was evolved
 Under this plan, within zone of ap- proximtely 300 miles of Chicago, live stock will be received for shipment to reach the Chicago market only on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday or Sunday.
 Within the second zone, beyond 800 miles from Chicago, ind up to the 36- hour limit, shipments w;;i De received to reach the Chicago market on Mon- day, Wednesday, Friday or Saturday
 The third zone embraces all territory outside of the 36-hour limit from Chi cago and from this zone shipments of livestock may be made at any time to reach the Chicago market on any week day
 It is probable that this system of stabil!S1ng shipments and prices of livestock will be extended with neces- sary notifications to all the big live stock markets of the country, the statement concludes.
