sTRAPHANGERs! HOPE ON!
HOPE ON!

TUE ONs
It's all kinda mixed up, brothers
and sisters, but while the congrega-
ton stands and sings Shall We
Gather at the River?" - and while
the city chemist tolls on tests wheth-
er beer has 2 or per cent of alcohol
while the reformers are laughing
triumphant and holy laughter at sa-
loonkeepers tearing up their revoked
icenses-let us have a look at the
latest City Hall traction film entitled
THE Great Straphangers' Mystery
or Who Gets Away With the Most
Nickels?"
First of all, the fact is the real final
complete report of the fancy Chica-
go $250,000 traction-subway COM
mission has not yet been made. Not
an alderman, not a newspaper edi-
tor, nor anybody else, yet knows
down to final black and white figures
what the engineers hired at about
$1,000 a day are going to say. AS it
looks now the report will be in next
week.
Aldermen Merriam, Buck, Ken
needy, Mccormick and others are
waiting for this final complete print
ed report before they care to indicate
what course they are going to take
on the traction-subway deal. The
engineers have intimated there may
be few changes in the final report. /
Anyway, after paying $25O,OOO for
nothing but advice and supposed
precious words of wisdom, the pro-
gressiVe aldermen want to see what |
the high-priced advice looks like be-
fore they pass on it.
ct will be about a week from now
before the report, with all supporting
data, is available in printed FORM"
said Aid. Captain, chairman local
transportation committee, today. |
while there is no expectation that |
the imOOrfaOf recommendation 90
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1917-01-29

form the basis for recommendations
of the commission"
Stories are beginning to leak out
from inside the commission, that
everything didn't go smoothly. Wal
ter Fisher was counsel for the body,
but the understanding among Fish
er's friends is that he didn't stand for
the 50-year franchise recommended
ton. It seems to have been put
through either without consulting
Fisher or else against his advice.
And, of course, when a lawyer gets
500 a day for inside work and $3.50
outside, there must be something in
the wind when they steamroIler him.
Some kind of a clash between
Busby and insult factions in traction
finance took place in the commission.
Busby as surface line head and In
sul as the elevated roads chief and
as head Of the Commonwealth Edi-
son Co. selling power to both surface
and 81" lines took opposite stands
on the terminable franchise question
before local transportation commit
tee. Since then talk has run strong
thatEthe insult has come down and
Busby has been showed up in the
work of utilities finance. That is,
the word has been passed along in
the undergraduates field that "cour-
tesies" should be passed along as
freely to Mr.. Busby as to Mr. insult
and the Busby say-so counts for as
much, maybe more, than the insult
say-so.

MAKING DESPERATE EFFORTS
FOR SEPARATE PEACE

AMSTERDAM. August 3-The Aus
tro-German leaders are making their
Inst desperate effort TO force peace with
Russia.
Developing for days, their strateEy,is
now evident. Their armies are being
sent forward In a tremendous effort to
drive wedge through Russia TO the
great Black Sea port of Odessa, where
thousands of tons of grain are stored
They are attempting to cut of RUS
sia's Granary-the section back OF
Odessa-from the hungry population OF
the north.
BY great bio wthey hope to bring
the republic to Its knees
To-day Czernowitz fell to the Aus
tro- Hunsarians. and Russia admits
that kimpolung has been evacuated.
There seems TO be no end to the re-
treat of :he Russian armies on this
entire front. although AL dispatches
agree that morale is rapidly being re-
stored to the ranks.
And already. as the German tactics
make their object evident. talk of peace
is heard. 1t comes unoficially. from
Socialist quarters. and is 10 the effect
that Russia and Austria are nearing
an Understanding. The understanding

and Germany,
ALREADY nETREATING
TO THEIR OWN SOIL
In Southeastern Galicia the Russians
are already retreating to their own soil,
across the frontier river Zbrocz. They
have been almost completely expelled
from Galicia. and their hold on any
section OF Eul;owina is steadily dimin-
ishing. Czernowit: has changed hands
ten times in the war. bu, never were
the Russians In such state OF disor-
ganiation.
The Russian retirement In this res
sion seriously E,enaces the Russo
Rodma nian line OF the Mo,davian front;
the Austro-German advance along the
Dniester threatens to slice off section
Of Northern Moldavih. The full weight
OF the Austro-Ger drive. however,
is further to the norrh. They are strik-

retreat was forced by disafection
spread among the troops by German
agents and radical Socialist agitators
The loss Of F'alkei also is admitted
