H RULING IS HOE, COTTON COMPRESSED Interstate Commerce Commis sion Lays Down Principle That Railways Must Cease From Making Compression Allow ances at Ports Wnshingotn.—A new principle was l.ibl down by the Interntate Commerce <'omrnisHion today, when It held, in jMm cjiHo of numerous cotton rner- Schants against the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad that the “compression of ex pert cotton at the port of trans-ship ment is not ;i service rendered by the 'owner of the property transported which is 'connected with such trans portation’ by the rail carrier; and that the carrier must cease from making iallowances for such compression.” Under the Atlantic Coast Line's tariff’s cotton may he compressed and < ompreanion paid by the carriers at Athens, Atlanta, Macon, Covington land Augurfta, Oh., and other points on the Oeorgia Railroad: or the cotton may be moved uncompressed to the ports of Norfolk, Wilmington, Char jieeton and Savannah, there compress ed and payment for such compression | made by the Coast Line. Allowances (also are made for compression of oot |ton moving from points in North and : South Carolina and Virginia to the | ports named. In its decision the com mission says: “The compression service rendered at the port by the owners of the cot it on for which 4he railroad pays, Is J performed after the transportation is I completed, Insofar as the railroad is I concerned, and after Its responsibili ties in connection with the shipment are at an end. The service rendered is therefore in no sense 'connected with the transportation* and such be ing the circumstance it is plain that there Is no authority In this commis sion to establish any charge for such i service; and It can hut follow, there j fore that there is no warrant in law for such allowance.” VISTULA GERMAN MOVE A FEINT?

Petrograd, (via London, 3:45 p. m.) - The Oormnn mlvance In ennsider nlilo force along the narrow front on the wont hank of the River Vistula is regarded by Russian military observ ers ns a feint at the city of Warsaw, the Intention of which Is to draw the Russian troop* from their ndvnncei upon Cracow, and direct attention from the efforts of ths Carmans to ! establish :i strongly fortified defen sive line from Knits* to t'rocow.

WAR SUMMARY TODAY Comparative calm in the west and reawakened activity In the-east are taken by London to Indicate that the German military chiefs have decided to concentrate their energies at the present stage of war toward deal ing, if possible, a crushing blow to Russia. .Such fragmentary reports as were received today from the eastern zone of fighting showed that the German army was still pressing tile Russians back through Russian Poland, over the same battlefields across which the Russians a few weeks ago were advancing victoriously. No clear explanation has been made of the reversal in form of the opposing armies, although it has been reported cm several occasions that the Ger mans were sending thousand* of their finest troops from France and Bel gium to the east. The Russian war chiefs state lhat their in Kast Prussia and Galicia continues In spite of their admitted retreat in the center. German strategists believe that continued reverses in Russian Po land would force the Russians to draw back their northern and southern armies. Grrman opinion admits of no doubt as to the outcome of the war with Russia. General von lilndenberg. Germany's popular hero of the fighting In (hr east. Is quoted aB saying that Germany and Austria will win although outnumbered, because they have stronger nerves and because lheir soldiers do their own thinking wlhie Russian discipline is “a mere blind and dull obedience.” Resides the possible withdrawal of German troops for use against Russia, there Is another reason for the lull in the fighting tn the west. Cold and wet weather has numbed and exhausted the soldiers so that great physical effort is almost out of the question. The. weather in Belgium is compared with a bleak, windy December day on the New England coast. The storm continues and the waters of the North sea flow through (he locks at Nieuport, which the allies opened to flood the lowlands and hold back the German advance. Notwithstanding the extent of the flooded area, the invaders hope to renew their advance. Large numbers of engineers are being sent to the front and German ingenuity In to be put to the test to provide a scien tific method of crossing the inundated country. The outcome of yesterday's naval battle in the Black sea is still in doubt. No fresh confirmation was received to reconcile the conflicting claims of Russia, and Turkey. Each assert that a hostile battleship had been damaged seriously In the engagement. THE GERMAN 42 CENTIMETRE GUN Is Composed of Three Part 3, Which Are Transported on Special Carrying Trucks. Zurich.—The Zurich Post contains the following remarkable description of the Herman 42-centlmetre guns: “II is composed of three parts, which are transported on special car rying trucks as distinct from the car riage on which the howitzer Is mount ed for firing. “The gun proper is nearly 21 metres (65 feet) in length. It travels every where on rails, and 12 alfles are re quired to carry it. “When it arrives at the railway point nearest the emplacement where II is to lie put into action, the pieces are taken off these special carriages, and then advanced on the road, the weight being so terrific that the axles groan under it. “The monster requires for its -e --assembling and firing a company of sortatots which, when marching on he road tn front and behind the gun oc cupy a kilometre of road space. Firing. * r "The firing of the charge In the glut Is dyne by electricity, the firing stud being placed 400 metres from the weapon. Anyone who unhappily found himself near the howitzer at the mo ment of discharge would lone his hearing for a long time. "The range of the 42-centimetre is 44,000 meties —(about 27 miles) —ex- actly one-third more than the dis tance bet ween Calais and Dover, which is 38 kilometres. “At this distance, it Is true, that the shooting is very uncertain and one can only find out what damage is caused by aeroplane. "Hut up to a distance of 16,000 me tres this great howitzer is the very arm of precision. At 20 kilimetres its effect can he very considerable. “it can penetrate 8 to 10 metres in to rocky noil. Seen from a distance the effect is amazing. One sees a column of fire a cloud of smoke, yel low and black, thrown a hundred me tres high, it will make a hole 15 to 18 metre* in circumference. Destroyer. "This destroyer of fortresses moves under the protection of a special guard. To it arc attached special de tachments of cavalry and Infantry, with numerous machine guns. “its great range permits it to do a great deal of damage before It can he located, and if. owing to an advance, it has to quit the field of battle, these special covering troops see that the movement is not pressed too much upon it. “The howitzer is not the delicate plnvtliing as has been said, it lias been stated that the maximum of shells fired from one is 150. That Is an understatement of the truth. But 150 shells Is quite enough for such a weapon, seeing that a dozen are suf ficient to destroy the most solid fort ress. “One hundred and fifty shells would (he a oostlv luxury, because the ex | per.se is 16,000 francs t»12,000l per shot.” CANADIAN CATTLE EMBARGO LIFTED Washington, D.
