A rehearing ln the western interstate passenger rate case, as It affects Nebraska, was today requested of the Interstate Commerce commission by Attorney General Reed of Nebraska and the Nebraska Railway commission.

The Nebraska officials are acting Independently, but invite other states to Join them in their request, which Is based on the allegation that required matter relative to Nebraska conditions was not submitted in the previous hearing.

Southerners Fight Child Labor Bill WASHINGTON, Jan. 10,-Representa-tlves of southern cotton mills, headed by former Governor Kltchln of North Carolina, before the houde labor com mittee today opposed tho Keating-Owen bill to prevent interstate shipment of goods manufactured with the aid of child labor. Mr. Kltchin said the bill was opposed as unconstitutional and unwise. "We of the south oppose this measure because we believe our people who have to work should be permitted to do so," he said. "I recall a diapaich from Bos ton on January 1, 1916. that 125 persons were gleaning food from garbage piles. If the north cannot support Ita poor, you should not expect the south to do so. Notiody eats garbage ln the south." British Steamer Flies U.S. Flag for Safety BOSTON, Jan. 10.

Irt.-The Turks In Meso potamia were In full retreat on January 9 with the British pursuing them, it was announced in the House of Com mons today by J. Austen Chamberlain, secretary for India. There had been heavy fighting on both banks of the Tigris on January 7, Mr. Chamberlain's announcement stated, and the British had taken two Turkish guns and 700 prisoners. In telling the Commons the news of the British success on the Tigris, Mr. Chamberlain said: "General Alymer left Mlam Alllgarbl, January 6, with troops marching to the relief of Kut-El-Amar. On the same day General Townsend at Kut, reported that the previous night the enemy had opened a heavy fire on the northwest front and on the village opposite Kut, but had made, no attack. On the nbzhtj of January 7 General Alymer reported heavy firing on the south front bank of I the Tigris. "On tha right bank General Campbell's column carried the enemy's position, taking (o guns and 700 prisoners and then cntrorched. Meanwhile ' the main attack on the left bank was retarded by an cnerpy outflanking movement' and General Alymer reported that ho ap parently wit opposed by three Turkish divisions. "On the evening of January 8, he re ported that owing to fatigue, the troops had been unable to make any progress that day.' On tho ninth he reported tho enemy ln retreat and that he was pursu ing, but that heavy rains hindered the pursuit. "From later telegrams It appears the enemy has reached Khora." . British Loae Three Thousand. AMSTERDAM, Jan. 10. (Via London.) A British force which apparently was on tho way to reinforce the British at Kut-El-Amar on the Tigris river, lost S.000 men ln an attack on Turkish posi tions at Sheik Said, according to a semi-official statement received today from Constantinople. The attack Is de clared to havo been repulsed. The statement follows: "On the Irak front the enemy, whose strength is estimated at one division, which was stationed at Mlam Alllgarbl, In order to come to the rescue at Kut-El-Amar on January 6 and 7, under the protection of four gunboats, attacked our positions at Sheik Said, but was repulsed by our counter attack. "We made some prisoners. The enemy losses are estimated at 3,000. The enemy cavalry suffered especially Bevere losses." Although the Berlin report of the Brit ish retreat in Mesopotamia appears to be at variance with the British announce ment that the Turks are falling back after heavy fighting. Mr. Chamberlain's statement to the House of Commons does not disclose the point at which the en gagement referred to occurred. It is pos sible that this action took place some where south of Kut-El-Amara between the Turks and the main body of the British. BERLIN, Jan. 10.-(By Wireless to Say vllle.)

CASE NEAR SETTLEMENT Germany Will Pay Indemnity for Americans, but Form of Disa vowal Still Unsettled. BERNStORFF CALLS ON LANSING . WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. Count Von Bernstorff, the German ambas sador, and Secretary Lansing had another conference In tho Lusltanla negotiations today, which both agreed should he described aB confi dential. Tbe ambassador expects to have only one more conference with the secretary and that inside of a week. This fact is taken to mean that only one more exchange between Wash ington and Berlin 'a necessary be fore tbe long controversy is ended. American officials reflected the view that a satisfactory settlement Is In sight which will include Indemnities for tho 115 American lives lost and a satisfactory expression of regret or disavowal. It Is known that the principal point which has been dolaying settlement Is the phraseology. Germany has contended that the best disavowal It could offer was Its orders to submarine commanders not to repeat such an Incident, and that It could not disavow the action, although It regretted the loss of so many Americans. The United Sta'es has been contending that the disavowal should be expressed In some way. It was stated authoritatively today that the next step of tho United States will be to ask all allies of Germany to agree that no vessels carrying Americans be attacked until pnKsengers and crew have been placed ln fcafety. The Impression grows among adminis tration officials that the nationality of the submarine or mlno which sank the Persia never will be disclosed.
