at the persistence of the Japanese at
tack and the heroic stubbOrnness of
the defenders of the fortress. The
Japanese are literally throwing away
thousands of lives in the hope Of

Major General Fock says he is
confident the fortress cannot be
taken, but that if it is taken. the
whole Japanese army will have to
immediate itself on the slopes of the

Some Terrific Fighting.
1.-THE assault of July 80 was made
in the dark of night in the hope of

A SERIOUS VIEW.

With a seeming certainty OF meat
famine should the strike last more than
a week, both the packers and the strike
leaders took a serious view OF the sjtua-
ton today.
Each side thoughtfully considered the
arbitration channel OF escape from the en-
tanglement. Indeed predictions were
ventured that an armistice might be ar
ranged within "a hours.
President Donnelly OF the Butcher
workmen's union expressed regret that
the packers oeffr to arbitrate had not
been made earlier when the strike might
have been averted

arbitration" he said. lis responsible for
the strike. They did not make known
their position until after the unions had
declared the strike and then II was too
late for me 10 do anything 10 stop the
trouble II will be an expensive war,
but apparently IL will have 10 be fought

duties as were absolutely essential. soon
found themselves at work in the strikers

dents OF the various plants that there
would be no trouble in supplying all va
cancies within a day or two with capable
men.
Information credited to union sources

were being brought TO Chicago by the
