MEMPHIS RATE CASE WILL BE REhEARD
 BY COMMISSION
Arkansas Shippers Gain Victory in Fight for Re
 opening at Washington.

The Memphis freight rate case, re- gently decided in favor of Memphis shippers and railroads as against Ark ansas roads and shippers, is to be re- opened by the interstate commerce commission and another hearing on the subject is to be held in the com paratively near future by the com- mission.
 Word to this effect was received yesterday by Hugh c. Fox, president of the Pine Bluff Traffic bureau, from w. M. Taylor, commissioner of the bureau, who has been in Washington the past week on business with the interstate commerce commission. MT. Taylor's telegram read as fol- lows:
 Memphis case to be reheard by the commission. The victory means an immense saving to Arkansas.
 Mir. Taylor will remain in Wash ington for some days yet, because there are matters of supreme im- portance to the shippers of this state and section, into which he is investi- gating. With him at the interstate commerce commissions offices are i Commissioner Mounds of Fort Smith bureau, and Judge Hill of Fort Smith, who is in Washington as legal repre- sentative of the state and of all the traffic associations in the state.
 The decision of the interstate com- merce commission some months age in the Memphis rate case was con- sidered of greater importance to ship, pers and consumers of all classes o1 products and articles than any rail road rate decision in many years, 1T as much as it virtually gave Memphis the same rates to points in Arkansas as apply from Arkansas shipping points. Because of that fact tha Memphis enjoys water rates and com bination rail and water rates inbound for the goods it handles, this gave Memphis the advantage, in that it re ceived its goods more cheaply ant therefore by shipping them on a par ity rate, was favored by the con ditions.
 MT. Taylor gave no details in hi telegram, but it is presumed here tha he and his associates prevailed upoi the interstate commerce commission CTS to allow another hearing, that thi feature of the case might be brough out, it having been excluded at thu previous hearing.

Nine Batteries of British Big Guns Help Materially
 ill Forward Movement.
5000 PRISONERS
 ARE CAPTURED
EmmanmeI's Forces Now Within Ten Miles Oi Austrian Seaport of Triest, Through Terrain Will Make Des-
 pcrate Fighting Necessary.
Associated Press Summary

On a front of nearly 10 miles on the Carso plateau. the Italians have smashed the Austrian line hard and have taken various positions from near Carstargnavizza to the head of the gulf of Triest.
 In their renewal of the offensive, tho Italians received aid from some of the nine British batteries that had hauled big guns to the Isonzo front to help the efforts to conquer Triest.
 Not alone were the Italians success ful in capturing numerous points of vantage, but more than 5000 prison CTS, including many officers. were taken.
 The Austrians are declared to have been taken completely by surprise by the sudden onslaught of the Italians who, to divert attention from the southern end of the line, had struck hard blow to the north. When the Austrians recovered, however, they launched heavy counter attacks. but the Italians held the ground they had won.
 The new advance brings the Ital- ians appreciably nearer Triest, which, On the lower part of the lines is less than 10 miles away. The ground tra- versed, and yet to be passed over, is difficult for military operations, and ] even with other successful advances, 1 the objective of the Italians will not be attained except by most desperate 1 fighting.
 Comparatively quiet prevails on the western front in France held by the British, but farther south, from Soissons eastward, intensive artillery duels are in progress between the French and the Germans, the most severe in the region of Moulin de Vau- clcrc, California plateau and Chew 1 reaux.
 In ncne of the other theatres has there been important engagements. The exhortation of the Russian minister of war, MT. Kerensky, that Russian troops cease the attitude of passiveness and go into the fray with the object of bringing about the neces- sary defeat of Germany, evidently is bearing fruit. The entire garrison of Sebastopol, Russia's big fortress and naval station in the Crimea, has re- quested unanimously that 1t be per- mitted to go to the Riga front and l fight the Germans.

Washington, May 24-1n his fare
 re1 address to the American people
 today, Foreign Secretary Balfour
 warmly expressed thanks for tho .ympathy with which tie mission was
 received in this country.
 He declared what the United States has accomplished during the forty days since it entered the war was most remarkable, and said he would carry back to the allies across the water his belief that with as little delay as human imperfections allow, he full and decisive weight of Amer ca will be thrown into the struggle for democracy.
 The message was delivered through Washington correspondents gathered at the National Press club to hear the last speech of the visitors.
 Of those who say war preparations | of the United States have proceeded slowly, MT. Balfour said:
 They know very little of the ac- tua way in which public life must be carried on, in free countries q think what has been accomplish | ed in these forty days is most re- markable. It is quite true that the executive government has been de- 1 layed by the fact that certain mea- sures placed before congress took ! time to pass. Some of them have not : yet passed. But who is it that pro- poses that representative assemblies He, going to make great and new de- partures in public life, solely by the waving of wand?"
 He added that he felt congress will give the president the great powers necessary successfully to conduct the war. Expressing the missions s gratitude, he spoke of his regret at his inability to visit many sections and voiced the hope that it might be done at later and happier time. He paid the press great tribute for it's accuracy and patriotic principles.
