WASHINGTON, July 30.-The pos sibility that Japan might become in volved in the war should her ally, England, be drawn into the vortex of Europe was discussed in diplomatic circles today. The present treaty pro- vides that both countries will support each other in the event of an attack in eastern Asia or India. It is thought that secret clauses have been added from time to time, extending it's scope.
 The possibility that Japan may be involved hinges on naval developments in the east, say diplomatic circles. Many foreign fleets are in eastern waters to protect their countrymen. Just as the first blow in the war with Spain was struck in the Philippines, so it was suggested the first clash of European powers might occur there in case the English fleet is involved and many believe Japan will be called to the aid of her ally.
 Aside from Japan's navy the inter- national far eastern fleet is made up largely of cruisers. Many of the vessels, however. are more powerful than any of the American warships that follow ed Dewey's pennant into Manila Bay

 Delegations from Tempe, Mesa and other points helped to swell the crowd, which demonstrated prog ressive staying qualities by waiting patiently for almost an hour in the darkness caused by failure of the electric lights.

 Captain George B. Wilcox called the meeting to ortler, and introduced H, B. Wilkinson as chairman of the evening. Ate. a short address, in which he explained the attitude of the progressives toward the proposal to support a non- partisan ticket and the way in which the suggestion had been met by the republicans, MT, Wilkinson stated that he was strong ly in favor of the progressive party adopting a plank in it's platform favoring the prohibition amendment which will be submitted to the voters of the state in November, not in the same manpec as the old prohibition party, but from the standpoint of social betterment.
 Judge R. L. Morgan, of Phoenix. was the next speaker, and made one of the best speeches of the evening. He defined the stand-pat policy as one of stagnation and death, and outlined the reasons why the prog ressives can never amalgamate or go back to any other organization. He (Continued on Page Three)

LONDON, July 30.-At a midnight session of the German cabinet at Potsdam, presided over by Emperor William, the strict censor ship of all telegraph lines was ordered, according to dispatches here. This was interpreted as imply in g preparations for German mobilization, and it is be- lieyed that a few hours will decide whether Europe will be plunged into universal warfare.
 It is fully expected, both in London and Berlin, that Russian Foreign Minister Sergius Sazonoff will reply to Germany's demand for an explanation to the effect that Russian mobilization has already been ordered and cannot be cancelled. In the event of Germany's mobilization, it is expected that Premier Asquith will immediately ask parliament to sanction a large vote of credit as a precautionary measure.

In a Final Effort to Pre- vent General Railroad Mems Walk-out Wilson Calls for Conference in Washington
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcH1

CHICAGO, July 30-In a final ef- fort to prevent a strike of 55,00O en- gineers and firemen on ninety eight railways west of Chicago, the presi- dent summoned the general mana gers committee, the representatives of the men and the mediation board for conference at Washington on Satur- day This action follows thesnfail- ure of mediation. Both sides have accepted and all leave tomorrow for Washington.
 The wage dispute between the en- ginemen of the western railroads and their employers reached a criti- cal stage July 16. 1914, when. having failed to come to an understanding, the union chiefs and the managers committee suspended negotiations and the labor leaders informed the managers that notice of a strike would be served immediately.
 The mems original demands had been presented October 10. 1913, and negotiations had been going on about three months Two days later, however, both sides agreed upon fed eral arbitration although the en- ginemen previously had refused per emptorily to consider it on the ground that the roads had refused to be governed by former arbitra- ton court decisions Matters with the men had proceeded to the taking of strike vote the result of which, announced July IA, showed that the men were almost unanimously in fa vor of backing their demands by a general walk-out.
 Easing their demand on the in- creased cost of living, the men called for increases in pay and overtime allowances, which, they said. would just about cover the advance in the price of necessities in the past four years. In answer the roads declared the increases asked for would amount to s33,O0O00O a year or fif- ty per cent advance in wages and could not be granted.
 Ninety eight railroads were affect ed by the demands. They included virtually every line in the United
 
 Illinois Central road. In Canada every line west of Fort William, On tario, was affected except the Grand Trunk Pacific One hundred and forty thousand miles of roadway and B, 900 engineers, firemen and hostlers drawing $67,750o 900 annual wages were affected.

Tren- holm, general manager of the Chi cago, St Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha railway, was chairman of the managers committee.
 The last general movement by the enginemen for an increase in wages was in 1910 at which time they ob- | tained an increase of about 10 per cent Since then, they declare, the roads have greatly increased their revenues and facilities. Preparation of the mems case indicated their close observation of the proceedings of the Interstate Commerce Commits sion. Every report of the roads to the federal body apparently had been scrutinized and compared with form CT reports and deductions favorable to the mems demands drawn where possible.

The is no doubt but what a
strong effort will be made by
the Idaho democrats, at their
state platform convention to
be held next month, to side
step the liquor question, or
at least to omit mention OF
statewide prohibition in any
form. Some Of them profess
TO believe that their party
will stand a better show OF
success in November, if no
thing is said about the liquor
question in the platform.
The question is certain td
cause a lively contest in the
platform convention, and we
imagine that the winning fac.
ton will not have many votes
to spare.

was greater than the repub-

Herald.
AS further proof that the
progressive movement is on
the wane the Leader Herald
calls attention to the registra-
ton this year in California,
Oregon and New York. In
each of these states when the
voters register they must de-
clare their party affiliations
and in California the repub-
llcan registration is more than
double that of the progress
sives, while in Oregon the
progressive party registration
has been practically nothing.
In the Empire state the reg
istration has been completed
and the record shows that the
progressives have fallen of
more than two thirds as com
pared with their vote of 1912
In fact, says the Leader-Her-
aid, the progressive leaders
are not able to point to a sin
gle by.election or registration
to show where they have
come within a thousand miles
of holding their own, and yet
some of them go on talking
glibly about their phenomena

Those who are attempting
to make the people of Idaho
believe that the progressive
party is gaining strength in
this state, are very much I'm :
derestimating the intelligence
of the people. There may be
a few who read only such
papers as the Capital News
and really believe what such
papers say, but the number is
very small. Most of the cit
liens of Idaho keep them
selves well informed and any
pretense SO transparent as
that of attempting to make
them believe the progressive
party is growing only brings
ridicule and contempt upon
those who attempt such de-
ception.
Those who have honestly
looked to see the progressives
grow have made the serious
mistake of thinking that al
who voted for Colonel Roose-
welt were third party men
when in fact not to exceed
one-third of them had any
thought of leaving the Repub
