Lower House of Parliament has said,
according to advices from Vienna:
In firm union with Germany, with
which we are united In unshakeable
friendship and loyalty and with which
we are about to be more closely united.
It Is now imperative to enforce sue
cessful end to this terrible struggle
After year of severe trial, It Is now
time to realize the intentions which the
Central Empires statesmen repeatedly
have unanimously stated, which threaten
no one and which aim at general
reconciliation of the people. The Aus
TRAN Government will contribute all in
Its power to the attainment OF this ar
IDENTIFY desired end.
For the attainment Of this aim, the
outward manifestation of power alone
does not suffice. There must also be a
development of internal strength. An
absolute condition, therefore, Is contn-
ual constitutional cooperation with Par
Lament, to which the Government will
scrupulously adhere"
After saying that his programme COM
prised the immediate passing OF the
Hungarian budget and the making OF
preparations to clear up national life
problems. including the creation OF satis-
factory conditions for the entire popula :
welfare organizations, Premier Hussarek
said
"Our efforts must be directed toward
the creation Of a basis for trustful CO.
operation with Parliament, which, how
yer. cannot materialize without mutual
frankness and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
I'm this respect we first look to those
groups which have formerly on principle
supported our state in its most serious
struggle, and we are conscious of our
obligations toward them. We desire
however. to gain at least such a degree
of confidence from those not on our side
as may be possible from loyal opponents
Justice toward all-toward every race
and every class--must. however, be and
continue to be our guiding principle"
Baron Won Huasareks speech was gen.
orally applauded, though the German
radicals shouted: Where Is the German
Course?"

Bv the Associated Press.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON THE
ITALIAN FRONT, July 27.-American
fighting troops are now on the Italian
front. They began arriving this morn
ing. They are being blleted with
Italians.
Heretofore the only combatant Ameri-
can troops were aviators. and the APP
pearance OF this large body OF fighting
men from the United States at the
present moment has occasioned the
greatest satisfaction.
Major-Gen. Eben Swift of the Ameri-
can military mission to Italy was the
first to greet the newly arrived Ameri-

ments for their comfort. The Italians
greeted them with enthusiasm and re-
joiced at the splendid physical condition
which the American soldiers showed.

Their measures should be adopted, in

committee advised the strikers to resume
work. The investigating committee will
consist OF three representatives respec-
lively OF the Government. the employers

Mr.. Churchill has received many tele-

OF the strikers as unpatriotic and grossly
unfair to the men in the trenches.

M'ADO0 ABSORBS
POWERS OF BOARD
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Circumscribed in Rate
Making Authority.
DIRECTORS WORD FINAL
Organization Will Hold To-
gcther and Resume Full
Duties After the War.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-The Interstate
Commerce Commission. which for years
was the Government big stick" so far
as the railroads were concerned, has been
largely circumscrlbed in its operations
by Government control Of the lines and
the jurisdiction of the Railroad Admin
istration over rate matters. according to
railroad men here studying the situa-
ton.
Railroad rate control was the principal
power OF the Commission. 1t not only
heard all complaints, but could initiate
rate proceedings on It's own account.
When Director-General McAdoo decided
upon an increase he ordered 1t and the
Commission perfunctorilv approved.
Now. with much agitation against up
setting OF the rate relationships of the
country by percentage raise, the Rail-
road Administration has appointed gen.
eral and district committees to hear
these complaints and to recommend ad-
=ssaStments to the Director-General. This
action in effect took all of the big rate
questions of the country from the com.
r1lsSlOI anu pldceu lneln IN the nanuS OF
the Director-General OF Railroads.
Though officials on either side will not
discuss it and declare that the commits
sion has all of the powers it ever had.
railroad men freely declare that the rate
powers of the commission have been
completely usurped.
Under the Presidents proclama ton
and the railroad control act, the Direc-
tor-General has complete and unrestric-
ted power in rate matters 1t is said
that rates are subject to review of the
commission. and this is true, but the Di-
rector-General has the power IL he wills
to continue in effect any rate he orders
In ordering increased or decreased
rates the Director-General Is decreeins
Government action for the people. The
commission Is also the Government act
ing for the people. If it disapproves
action ordered, which is unlikely, the
Eirector-General can issue new orders
Though the commission will no longer
conduct all rate proceedings ard sit as
the court of last appeal on rates, It's
work will he carried forward. it is said
and there is no intention of permitting
the orga nization to go to pieces.
The jurisdiction OF the commission on
al of the short lines which are outside
of Government control is still complete
II railroad control Is abandoned after
the war its power over the large lines
will be resumed, and the commission is
prepared to pick up where II left of.

reading OF the statement 1t says in
part:
1.-THE cspacity of the Russians to rid
themselves of the Germans Is patent and
admitted. Control of the Thurman coast
and kola railway Is essential to main
tain contact with central Russia. But
what Is far more important Is to prevent
the Germans extending their mastery to
Siberia and central Asia, where there Is
an abundance Of raw materials which
they vitality need

eary that the Allies should come to the
rescue Of the Czecho- Slovaks along the

France. only third OF whom are armed,
were left to be crushed by combination
OF Bolsheviki and armed German prs-
oners directed by German officers the
moral effect in Russia itself would be
calamitous for the allied cause"
