i. 5. ADMIRAL
GIVE OPINION

New ork, Aug. Admiral Alfred II
Mahan. U. S. N, retired, authority on
naval affairs, today expressed the
opinion at Quogue. L. l., that England
must at once throw her fleet against
Germany for the one chief purpose Of
maintaining. her own position as a
world power. For England. he said, it
was a question. If she remained out OF
the war. of sacrificing her empire in
the next generation to the interest of
this generation.
Rear Admiral Maahn also holds the
view that Italy must Join the war
within a weeks time, not as a partner
of the triple alliance, but as an ally
of France n Russia. Italy must take
this step, he said, and hold the Aus
TRANS In check for the salvation of the
Balkans, which are already threatened
by Turkey n sure to be the prey OF
the Turks unless the Austrian navy
can be kept from the shores of Greece.

The Minnesota supreme court todav
reversed two judgments against the

closing up the eighth year of its his

Rev. MT. McCracken and his helI,ers,
a beautiful and. commodious brick
building has been erected, where great
battles are daily fought against sin
and the powers of darkness.
Among the speakers who have been
here to take a big part in the meetings
are men of, note from the east. Al
though small at present. the church or

of the greatest agencies for help to the

Chairman Chambers of the board Of
mediation at once began preparations
for bringing the dispute to arbitration
and the railroad managers and the Ia
Dor leaders left the city.
The railroad managers issued the
following statement:
THE controversy between the west
ern railroads and their enginemen fin
ally narrowed to a single issue, name
ly: Can these railroads be heard in
arbitration on the claims made by
them during their negotiations with
their. menu s
ITO avoid all possibility that under
an arbitration award "a reduction IN
pay might be forced upon the men, the
railroads proposed that the arbitra-
ton agreement should give to the men
on each road the right to elect, after
a complete schedule was awarded by
arbitrators, either to adopt the sched-
ule thus awarded, or to- continue their
prior schedules. ~a.
The railroads felt that their plain
duty required them to insist upon a
plan of arbitration which would rec
ognize their right to be heard upon
the claims on their behalf, which were
regularly presented and discussed with
the men during their negotiations: but
in response to the request of the presI-
dent on July 80 that both sides confer

with the president and to make what
ever contribution to a peaceful settle

by our dutyNto the public.
Eat our conference with the presl-
dent on Saturday and again in his
letter to us on Sunday, the president
strongly urged that in view OF world
wide condition the situation had reach
ed a crisis in which patriotism and a
regard for public welfare were
paramount to all other considerations
even to the sacrifice of what. In
ordinary circumstances, might proper

THE railroads have responded to
this appeal by accepting the plan Of
arbitration proposed by the mediators,
which provides that no claims other
than these of the employees ais original

arbitration and which plan, in the
Judgment of the president, offered the
only means under the existing circum-
stances of ayerting what might prove

Minneapolis. Aug. 4.-During the

trouble. the American crop has been
lost sight of. but as the market shows
