Poland and the Baltic provinces is
changing but little from day to day.
and .public interest is being turned
to the near east where the diplomats
of the qradruple ' entente powers are
endeavoring to revive the Balkan
leaeue and bring all the Belkan states
over to their side.
"Efforts for the moment are being
concentrated on Sofia, for Bulgaria
holds the key to the situation. It is
said she is being smiled upon and
offered territorial concessions by both
sides. The German and entente min
isters both are declared to be finding
their endeavors hindered by their
friends. Greece and Serbia are un
willing to concede to Bulgaria the parts
of Macedonia which are her price for
joining the Allies, while Turkey is op
posing concessions which Austria and
Germany desire her to make to Insure
the continued neutrality of the Sofia
government.
Bulgaria, too, it is asserted, is weigh
ing the Teutonic victory in Poland
against the renewed efforts of the Al
lies in the Dardanelles and the report
ed signal victory the Russians are said
to have won over, the Turks in the Cau
casus. Military experts here - believe
this victory will keep the Turks quiet
on that frontier for some time.
Turkish Vessel Sank

submarine is in the Sea of Marmora

The Russians continue their retire
ment in Poland, but they are retarding
the German advance by repeated coun
ter attacks. There still is considerable
distance between the German armies to
the southeast and northeast of War

will be able to make good their re
treat, only, however, to be called upon
to oppose a German attempt to out
flank them at Kovno and further north.

assumption by some military observ

aiming at Petrograd: It is pointed out,
however, that there is a great stretch
of marshy country between the pres

ITE RATES
EO
On Railroads Handling 80
Per Cent of Production.
INQUIRY OF 3 YEARS
Interstate Commerce Commission Holds
Carriers Guilty of Giving Illegal
Preference to Allied Coal
Companies.
Washington. Aug. 12. Sweeping re
ductions in anthraoite freight rates
over railroads handling 80 per cent of
the country's anthracite production
were ordered today by the Interstate
Commerce Commission in a decision
which held the carriers guilty of giv
ing illegal' preferential treatment to
allied coal companies. The commis
sion also required the roads to estab
lish through routes and publish joint
through rates to be paid by all ship
pers. Commissioner Harlan dissenteji, con
tending that while modification of any
present rates was justified, the major
ity decision was inconsistent in view
of the recent authorization of a hori
zontal increase of 5 per cent in rates
for practically all other traffic.
The decision follows a three-year in
vestigation of rates and practices gov
erning transportation of coal from the
Pennsylvania anthracite fields.
Summary ot Decisions.
The commission issued, this summary
of the decision: -
"That the rates on anthracite coal,
prepared (general domestic sizes), and
pea and smaller sizes, In carloads, ap
plicable from producing districts in
Wyoming, lehigh and Schuylkill re
gion in the State of Pennsylvania to
tidewater ports and certain eastern
interior points, are unreasonable and
tne rates on anthracite coal, prepared
end pea sizes, from said districts to
other interior points are unreasonable
and reasonable rates fixed for the fu
ture. .
"That the' respondents by means of
trackage arrangements and the free
transportation to junction points in the
mining regions of coal exchanges by
their allied coal companies, have ex
pended - tHe avtm'tagefc "at fnter-lfn
transportation to ttieir coal companies
to the prejudice of other coal ship
pers to whom inter-line transportation
at joint rates has been denied. Re
spondents required to establish through
routes and publish joint through rates
applicable thereto.
" "That anthracite coal is a low grade
commodity which is transported in vast
quantities in . trains of maximum ton
nage. . The tonnage loaded in each car
is much greater than the loading of
most other classes of traffic. Most of
the anthracite tonnage is shipped from
collieries whose daily production,
measured In carloads, is very large.
These conditions tend toward lower
operating costs.
"That concessions and offsets grant
ed by respondents to their allied coal
companies in the form of interest
charges, royalty earnings, the use of
valuable property at inadequate ren
tals, the free use of the carriers' funds
and credit, or by other means are as
pernicious as direct cash rebates

BALTIMORE CHOSEN BY
TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION
Will Hold Convention of 1916
X in That City
Proportion of Priority In Employing
and Discharging Men Ordered
Submitted to Referendum.
AsWfor Six-Day Week.
Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 12. .Balti
more was selected today as the 1916
convention oity of the International
Typographical Union. There was no
contest.
A proposition to impose the rule of
priority in employing and discharging
men was ordered submitted to a ref
erendum, and a proposal providing for
a six-day week was adopted 150 to 70.
Both measures were put forward by
the union administration.
C. Grow, of the Interntionaal Associ
ation of Machinists, and a member of
the Schmidt-Caplan defense, made a
brief plea for the financial and moral
support of the delegates in the coming
trials. He referred to the. two men,
awaiting trial on the. charge of being
accessories of the dynamiting of the
Los Angeles Times buildihg, "as pris
oners of war," and declared 1;hey were
being "persecuted, not prosecuted.".
Under the priority proposition, sub
mitted to a referendum, the foreman of
an office, in decreasing his force, is re
quired to do po by discharging first the
person , or persons last employed.
Should the force later be Increased, the
persons displaced through such cause
shall be reinstated, in reverse order in
which they Vepe .discharged before oth
. l. ! r.iT v.a pmnloved.
The six-day proposition, which, by
the vote today becomes a law, declares
that no member of a subordinate un on
shall be permitted to hold a sltvatioji
of more than six days or six nights -or

iSan Antonio, Texas, August

ting to call for additional troops
if the Mexican disorders in Texas
continue to spread. He said to-
day that should the trouble in-
vade other counties beyond Cam-

Brownsville, Tex., Aug. 12, United
States cavalrymen and Mexican out
laws are engaged in a desperate battle
tonight near Edlnburg, Hidalgo coun
ty, Texas, where two Mexicans held up
and robbed a farmer early in the even
ing, according to reports received here
at midnight. The cavalrymen have
asked for help.
The killing today of three Mexicans
near Mercedes. Hidalgo county, and the
capture of 22 saddle horses belonging
to the bandits in the same vicinity, led
to the belief that at leasts one of the
bands of Mexican raiders which recent
ly have terrorized the border has been
scattered.

three Mexicans were killed are not
available. Federal and state officials

The situation in Cameron and Starr

county chased eight Mexicans across
the'Ttio Grande. Seating themselves on
the opposite" bank, the Mexicans defied
the rangers and declared themselves
the leaders of the raiders the Ameri
can officers were seeking. The ran
gers withdrew.

parently is well financed, and efforts

EXPLANATION GIVEN OF
EXODOS OF ARMENIANS

Turks and Kurds.
Account of Military Operations Along
Caucasus Front-Russians Drive
Turks from Trenches and
Capture Prisoners.
Petrograd, via London, Aug. 12. Ex
planation of the renewal of a whole
sale exodus of Armenians from their
country into Trans-Caucasia is made
in an account of military operations on
the Caucasus front since July 22.
After the Russians penetrated to
Mush (83 miles south of Erzerum) and
Plian, Halil Bey reorganized his Turk
ish army bringing its strength up to
90,000. General Eudenitch, the Russian
commander, thus faced the alternative
of hurriedly attempting to concentrate
his forces in the face of a strong Turk
ish army, or retreating and thus expos
ing a large Armenian population to
Turkish and Kurdish revenge. -
The Russian main army withdraw
along the right bank of the Euphrates,
the Turks occupying the left bank, be
ing held in partial check by rear guard
actions. On August 1, Halil Bey over
took a considerable body of Russians
at Palantchen, on the left bank of the
Euphrates, 12 miles southwest of Kara
Kilissa. A line was drawn from the
northeast to the southwest from.Dara
Ji, six miles north 'of Kara Kilissa, to
Dj'amschato six miles southwest of the
important Akhtunski pass, covering the
roads to Erivan.
In "opposing this front the Turks ex
posed their communications, now 150
miles -long,., to -attack from the direc
tion of Sari Kamysh. On August 3rd
General Eudenitch moved his forces,
southeastward, threatening Halil Bey'sf
flank. A Russian detachment marched
rapidly by way of Ardos , and Kara

SITUATION IN TEXAS
State Authorities Notified by Secretary
Garrison They Are .Expected to

yond Their Control.
Washington, Aug. 12.. Activity of
Mexican bandits on the Texas border
and the situation at Vera Cruz con
tinued to occupy the attention of of
ficials today .although there was less
apprehension.
General Funston" is being given a
free hand on the border and he has not
asked that the 17,000 troops at his dis
posal be reinforced. No action was
taken today on an appeal from Gov
ernor Ferguson, of Texas, for addi
tional Federal soldiers.
Conditions at Vera Cruz are said to
have improved, and Carranza has is
sued a publi announcement promising
protection to "'foreigners. The battle
ships Louisiana and New Hampshire
are well on their way down the Atlantic
coast bound for "Southern waters,", to
reinforce the gunboat squadron at
Vera Cruz if necessary. The collier
Jupiter was ordered to Vera Cruz to
day from Newport.
Secretary Garrison made it plain. to
day that the War Department expects
the governor of Texas to deal with
purely domestic disorders in the. state.
For State Authorities to Handle.
"The situation is clearly defined," he
said. "Insofar as disturbances relate
to repelling invasion of American ter
ritory or to border uprisings, they are
matters to be handled by General Fun
ston's forces. . To the extent that the
disturbances are domestic and within
the State of Texas, they are for the
state authorities to handle. The state
officials have been, informed that the
Federal government is powerless to in
terfere in these internal disturbances
unless they are beyond the control of
the state and the governor certifies
conditions to- the President of the
United States" in a proper manner.
Whether the President would then or
der Federal troops to take charge of
the internal situation is a matter en
tirely within his discretion, as in the
recent Colorado strike case.
"The Governor of Texas isan use the
state militia and call upon' every able
bodied .cftlzen' to defend the: rights of
the state. Whether the situation is
beyond the control of the State I do
not know. v . "
"Insofar as the' Federal government
is concerned the border troubles now
are entirely in ' the hands of General
Funston, ,who has . been told he can
have all the .mobile Federal- troops, he
wants. ' Hev has mot' asked' for- any

HEAVY FIGHTING IS
Official Claims of Results are
Conflicting
GERMANS CLAIM LUKOW
While Russians Declare Enemy Has
Been Repulsed With Heavy Cas
ualties in Riga, .Turks
Badly Defeated.
Heavy fighting is in progress in
Bosnia and Herzegovina, in Northwest
Russia and Poland, in Asiatic Turkey,
and probably on Gallipoli peninsula,
where the Allies lately have landed
large reinforcements. !
Official reports disagree as to results.
Although the Montenegrins claim that
in Bosnia and Herzegovina they have
won successes in artillery and Infantry
engagements near Gorasda and Gasko,
it is in the Russian report that the
most momentous happenings are chron
icled. Petrograd declares the Germans in
the Riga district of Northwest Russia
near Kovno and in the Vieprz and Bug
regions have been repulsed with neavy
casualties. v "
The Germans, on their part, assert
they have occupied Lukow, forty miles
northwest ot Ivangorod, and Zambrowa
and that the Russians are in retreat
along the entire front between the Bug
and the Parazew, with Von Mackensen
following them.
Vienna also adds her claim of con
tinued victories in the Vieprz and Bug
districts. Of the situation near Riga,
Berlin asserts that it remains unchang
ed.
In Asiatic Turkey, Petrograd de
clares the Russians have badly defeated
the Turks along the Euphrates, cap
turing important vantage points. Near
Ezerum the Turks claim to have won
a victory over the Russians, inflicting
important casualties.
According to Constantinople, four Al
lied attacks against Ottoman positions
on Gallipoli peninsula were put down.
Except . in the Argonne, in France,
where the Germans declare they cap:
tured a group of fortified positions
there has been , little fighting on the
western front. Paris, referring to the
fighting in 'the Argonne, says the
French recaptured part of the .lost
trenches. 1

THE NAVY PROPOSALS
Will . Include Important Increase In
Submarines President Wilson and
Secretary Garrison to Confer
on Army Programme.
Washington, - Aug. 12. Preliminary
plans for strengthening the National
defense were taken up by President
Wilson immediately after his return
today from Cornisl. Secretary Daniels
gave the. President a general outline of
proposals for improving the Navy, and
arrangements were made for an early
conference with Secretary Garrison re
garding the army.
The President is auxious to fix on a
programme which will meet the ap
proval not only of his cabinet but of
Congress, and he hopes politics will
have no part in consideration of the
subject.
Secretary Daniels has not yet com
pleted the formal report prepared by
the general board and advisory coun
cil of the navy for which the President
called just before leaving for Cornish.
While the Secretary would not dis
cuss what he told the President today
about the needs of the navy, he indi
cated that the building programme
would include an important increase in
submarines. He would not confirm re
ports that he would recommend the
building of four battleships.
Secretary Garrison has his report on
the army well advanced. . A special
board of. officers has been studying the
situation for several months, and Gen
eral Goethals has prepared a special
report on the defenses of the Panama
Canal.
The President devoted much time to
the study of National defense while at
Cornish, and was in communication
frequently with Secretaries Daniels
and Garrison.

PEACE PLAN DISCUSSED
Villa .Willing to Sign Armistice fo

. His Campaign.
Washington, Aug. 12. President
Wilson on his return from Cornish to
day was given' a comprehensive ao(
count of the Mexican situation by Sec-1
retary Lansing.
The secretary told the Presidents
that official reports indicated that the
situation- in the. vicinity, of Brownsville!
was of a local character, and that quiets
prevailed at Vera Cruz, where there
had been some anti-foreign demonstra-i
tions. He outlined in detail the dis
cussion of the peace plans at the Newi
York conference yesterday of the LatJn-
American diplomats.-
Neither the President nor Secretary;
Lansing was inclined to believe the
situation required any further precau
tionary measures than have been ta-4
ken in sending battleships to Mexican;
waters and more Federal troops to the"
Texas border. They devoted most ofl
their time to a discussion of the interH
American plan on which they are pin-i
ning their hopes for the early restora-J
tion of peace in Mexico.
Preparing to Telegraph Appeal.
The conference appeal to the Mexican,
factions has not yet been sent, although!
eigned by Secretary Lansing and thai
ambassadors and ministers of the six
Central and South American govern-4
ments participating in the conference.;
A list of chiefs, generals and governors
is being compiled and as soon as the lo-i
cations of all are determined the ap-
peal will be telegraphed simultaneous-
My to every part of Mexico
On the"; eve of this action came an
announcement from the Villa ae-enr-v
here tonight that ..Carranza had. flatly jr . J 1
refused to permit a peace conference'? 1 1 ;
1 a 1 . a At . . isfc . t y
nwwwn nis representatives nere ana
those of Villa.
Enrique C. Llorente, Villa's Washing- i
ton representative, gave out letters
which had passed between him and Eli
seo Arredondo, the Carranza represent
ative here. Llorente began the corre
spondence when Charles A. Douglas,
counsellor Carranza, filed a brief with
the State Department, calling attention
to the presence in Washington of Luia
Cabrera and Eliseo Arredondo, as Car
ranza representatives, and saying that
"either or both of them, I am assured,
will be glad to confer with any element .
of the Mexican people with a view to
furthering the common interest and
the peace and welfare of the nation.""
Llorente telegraphed Villa and was
instructed to begin a discussion of
peace terms. Arredondo- replied he
would refer the matter to Carranza,.
whose response" today came in the
form of instructions ' to Arredondo noli
to enter into peace negotiations as he
would accept only the T unconditional
surrender of his opponents.
VlUa Willing to Sign Armistice.
Secretary Lansing revealed today
that Villa recently had informed tha
State Department he was willing to
sign an armistice for three months or
longer for holding a peace conference.
Llorente said General Felipe Angeles
now was in conference with Villa at
Chihuahua, relative to details of such
an armistice.
Indications are that the Zapata ele
ments are preparing to receive favor
ably the appeal of the United States
and the Latin-American governments.
Officials here hope many generals re
ported to be Carranza partisans ulti
mately will give their adherence to a
peace conference.
The appeal will be made public in a
day or two. Carranza's displeasure
over the Latin -American movement
does not alter the feeling of optimism,
among the officials here, who declared,
unwarranted, the inference that an at
tempt is to be made to invade Mex
ico's sovereignty.
The Argentine foreign minister's re
ply to Carranza, issued by the Carran
za agency here, in which it is stated
that the Latin-American countries spe
cifically understood at the outset of1
their conference that there was to be
no impairment of Mexico's sovereignty
represents the view of the United?
States government, whose effort is to
obtain peace without resort to force..
Another Session of Conference.
Secretary Lansing said today he did
not know when the Latin-American di
plomats would be called into conference
again, but another session probably
will be held within three weeks. The
present plan is .to wait ten days after
reception of the appeal before consid
ering any replies received.
