Washington, Dec "A decision as
to the governments attitude toward
the railroads, involving suggestions
for either government operation dur
ing the war or suspension of anti
trust laws and financial support still
rested tonight with President Wilson.
No move was looked for until after
Monday, when the president will go
over the entire subject with Senator
Newlands, chairman of the congress
sional committee investigating trans
portation problems,
Today, however, brought three inn
portant developments in the situation.
They were: An order by Robert s.
Lovett, director of priority, giving
preferential shipment to fuel food
and government supplies over all
general freight.
! Indications are that the govern
ment will name a general traffic man
ager to take entire charge of the
movement of government supplies and
war materials
A statement from Fairfax Harrison,
chairman of the railway war board,
that the roads under present direction
are prepared to furnish all the trans
portation possible to obtain under
any management, was issued.
The president is viewing the prob
lem from every angle His advisers
are by no means of one mind on the

Washington, Dec. War between
the United States and Austria-H Hun
gary was formally declared today.
Congress, with one dissenting vote
in the house adopted and President
Wilson approved a resolution de :.
claring existence OF state of war be-
tween the imperial and royal Aus
tro-Hungarian government and the
government and people of the United
States and authorizing the presi-
dent to employ the nations armed
forces and pledging its resources to
victory.
The resolution, the response OF con-
gress to the presidents request in his
address Tuesday, is similar to that
passed April 6 declaring war on Ger
many. 1t became effective at 5:03 D.
m today, when it was signed by the
executive without formality. An ex-

shortly.

SHIPPERS WILL
NOT OBJECT TO
RATE INCREASE
Express Company Heads Say|
People Understand Situation
and Will Present Little Pro-
test Against a Boost,

Washington, Dec. 7.-Heads of the
express companies, before the Inter
state Commerce commission today in
the first hearing on their application
for an increase of 10 per cent in rates,
said the shippers understand their
need for higher rates for the war
emergency and will present little OBJ
lection.
Before asking for an advance,
George C. Taylor, president American
Express company, told the commission
that officials of the principal com
panies held conferences with COM
mercial bodies and large shippers in
number of cities to explain that
higher revenues were imperative to
save the companies from actual loss
In virtually every case, Mr.. Taylor
said. the shippers were sympathetic
and appreciative of our needs
Only one shippers representative
appeared today to protest at the
hearing, which will continue tomor-
row. William A. Wimbish of Atlanta
gave notice that on behalf Of shippers
of Atlanta, Nashville and Montgom-
cry he would object to increases. The
state railroad commissioners asked
the commission for month in which
to analyze figures presented by the
express companies to show greatly de-
creased net income this year, and
actual loss by some companies. The
commission indicated 1t might allow
a week or two at most.
e. A. Steadman, vice president and
general manager of the Wells Fargo
Express company, testified that short
age of labor had caused unusual ex-
pense to the express companies, ow-
ing not only to the necessity of paying
higher wages but also to the increase
in loss and damage resulting from
hiring inexperienced men. Added
causes Of loss and damage, he said,
were poor packing by shippers. over
loading Of cars. use Of freight cars
and congestion at terminals.

The United States is at war with
Austria Hungary. With unanimitys-
except for a negative vote cast in the
house of representatives by socialist
member-both houses of congress
Friday acted favorably on the request
made by President Wilson in his re-
cent address, to congress that the
United States declare war on the dual
monarchy which the president as
serted was mot her own mistress, but
simply the tool of the German gov
ernment." There was scarcely any
debate on the war resolution in either
house.
Shortly after the action of the two
houses of congress, President Wilson
affixed his signature to the measure
which definitely aligned Austria-Hun-
gary as an enemy country.
The taking up of arms against Aus
tria-Hungary comes at a most oppor-
time time, for it will permit of the
Somced States fenul1.g aid to sofely
stricken Italy, where the Austro-Ger-
mans are striving to render the 1tal-
ians neglible factor in future opera
tions. Turkey and Bulgaria were ex-
cluded from the war resolution by the
temper for both houses of both houses
of congress indicates that whenever
President Wilson shall ask for similar
action against these countries, which
he characterized as also the tools OF
Germany, acquiescence in his desires
will be Forthcoming.
Invaders Made Gains.
That the Italians are being hard
pressed by the enemy in greatly su-
perior numbers and in gun power is
indicated by the latest official COM
munications. Additional gains have
been made by the invaders in the
Asiago plateau region, but again

have been made prisoner on the 1tal-
ian front, bringing the total since the
new offensive began up to $4,000.
Only minor operations are in prog
ress on the other battle fronts.
The cessation of hostiliries along
the eastern front has extended to that
part of the line held by the Ruman-
ians. An official communication from
Jassy says that as a result of the Rus
slams having proposed an armistice tc
the enemy it had been decided that
the Rumanians had associated them
selves with the Russians and that
therefore fighting has ceased. The
Rumanians, however, have declined
all attempts by the enemy to frater-
nize with them.
