Washington Nov 21.--In a brief
submitted to the Interstate Commerce
commission today in the Is per cent
advance freight rate case, Clifford
Thorne, leading counsel for the ship
pers, suggests that the commission
recommend that the government take
over the operation of the railroads for
the duration of the war.
Mr.. Thorne pointed to the fact that
Frank A. Vanderlip, New York bank
er, testified that he believed the rate
increase would act only as a poultice
and not cure the railroads troubles
and to the statement of Samuel Rea
president of the Pennsylvania rail
road, that he did not believe the roads
should attempt large bond flotations
when the government was putting out
loans.
After asking that If the government
can buy several hundred million dol.

buy some cars and engines for Ameri.
can railroads" Mr. Thorne said
"If our government takes over the
operation of the railroads for the
period of the war and guarantees thu
dividends that were paid during the
pre-war period, we should be entitled
to the profits over and above those
dividends for we will be substitutins

.|TALY'S DEMANDS
DETER j. S. FROM
WAR ON AUSTRIA

Washington, Nov. 21.--Whether the
United States shall declare war
against Germany's allies promises to
be a subject of considerable discussion
at the next session of congress, said
Senator Hitchcock, ranking member
of the foreign relations committee
upon his return today to Washington.
IN his opinion the question presents
many complications
"a declaration of war against Aus
tra Hungary" said Senator Hitch
cock, might be construed as endorse
ment of Italy's demands upon Austria.
These include demand for territory
which virtually would deprive Austria
of every seaport-a fruitful situation
for a future war. 1t is question
whether the United States would be
willing to give such an endorsement.
Senator Hitchcock said he .antici-
pated that the coming session of con-
gress would be long.

To General Byng, who fought on

fame as the commander of the Cana
dians who took Nimy ridge, on the
western front falls the honor of hav'
ing planned and successfully carried
out the present drive, in which tanks
and the cavalry have played such
leading part. General Byng staked
his chances on the tanks, and the
tanks made good beyond the widest
expectations.
Just before these mighty engines
went forward to prepare the way for
the infantry and cavalry, the general
commanding the iron .aonitorh ~ais
tributed an order of the day in which
he said

About midnight of the time in ques-
ton, Ed was awakened by a neighbor
who said that something was in Eds
chicken house. The two got a fash
light, gun and club and marched
silently out to the chicken house. On
entering they saw big coon on the
perch. Ed used his club. The neigh
Dor used his gun. The coon discov-
cred 1t was an unlucky combination.
Next morning Jim missed his coon.
He heard about the row over at Eds
place and went over. 1t was his
coon-dead.

Of the officers in--the latest phases or
warfare.
The result of all this activity will
be that next spring the entente allies
will possess a Supereminent war ma
chine. gunned, manned and equipped
in an unprecedentedly complete and
magnificent manner. 1t was correct to
say last winter that in 1917 the entente
allies would develop a striking force
which could not be exceeded In 1918
if the war continued. But at that
time the intervention of the United
States was only dim possibility the
revolution In Russia and the collapse
of her army were foreseen by nobody.
Tough Problem for Enemy.
AS the situation stands at present,
with the United States adding her
mighty power to the common lot, and
with a still unextinguished hope that
the Muscovites may be brought back
to their old aggressive fighting, men
belonging to the inner circles of Eur
rope affirm their belief that the entente
allies will be able to confront Hipden-
burg with far harsher problem In
1918 than they could have hoped to
put up to him in 1917.
Next spring the British army Will
still be at top strength, for in the past
summer Haig has put forth nothing
like his maximum effort, and in con-
sequence has suffered losses far below
the figures anticipated at the British
war Office When 1t was seen that the
Russian army must drop out of all
offensive plans this summer and that
Germany would be able to develop an
unexpected strength upon the western
front, the FrancO-British policy natur-
ally became more conservative. The
building up of the American armies
has confirmed the wisdom of this
course, which looks to the accumula-
ton of an Irresistible power before the
last continuous, annihilating blows are
delivered upon all possible fronts.
