 arran gements< were made to resume the campaign against the Remington Arms plants on a grander scale than before.
 There will be no quibblihg this 1 time, according to the labor leaders. who declare that they will cripple the concern by shutting off it's sup plies from sub-contractors and by gradually drawing out the men in the factories of the plants.
 Six hundred carpenters will quit work on the eonstructton end, it is announced, because of the close af- l hliat5on of the ironworkers, carpent- Hers and machinists-
 l Strike orders will be issued to the employees ofz the Is factories, which have been marked as concerns feed I ing the Remington Arm plants, and according to an assertion today, the Ernenf will be drawn out of those fac Ftories all at once.
 Agitation will be begun on Worces- ter, on the machine shops of which the Remington Arms plants depend greatly and it is likely strike condi- l tions will be established there. Eight hours is desired and the time is ripe, 1t is declared.
 l One vital blow will be the thing, lsay the strike leaders. A strike of 1 the carpenters, agitation in the Wor- cester shops, strike conditions in IS | of the Locomobile employees will be done all at once.
 A big machine shop in Hyde Park, Mass, where much work is being done for the Remington plants, will be crippled. it is asserted by the la Dor leaders.
 What caused the sudden change to- day is not definitely known, J. J. Kep- pier, vice president of the Inter tionaI Association of Machinfsts, an- Inounced Saturday that an agreement had been reached between the strik- CTS, the Remington Arms plants off, cials and the Stewart Construction Co. whereby the men would go back to work today under new and better working conditions
 The Remington Arms officials. how ever, spoiled the program. It is un- Ederstood they make the assertion that they know of no such agreement Samuel F. Pryor. vice president of l the Union Metallic Cartridge Co, and president of the Chemical National bank. one of the great financial con cerns of New York, is credited today with having been tie man who went over Major Walter G. sPenf1eld's head Fin the strike negotiations. For sew eral reasons, however, the labor lead CTS do not wish it known with whom the negotiations were carried on and no confirmation of this belief could 1 be obtained.
 General strike conditions will be put into effect tom morrow if it is found that the details of the agreement, as soutlined by leader KeppIer, have not been kept.
 i It was expected today by labor leaders and officials of the Coulter & Mackenzie Co, tha Grant Manufac- turing Co.,. the Bridgeport Engineer ing Go. and the Gaynor Manufactur- ing Co, that negotiations would be entered into, and in fact, temporary agreements had been made with two E of the concerns involved. but it was I Continued on Page 2.

 It is understood that the claim has been advanced by officials of the Rem- ington Arms plants that they knew of and had been informed Of no agree Ee that any official of that company sign cd any agreement.
 All was expected to be peaceful to- day. It was understood, according to the assertions of labor leaders. that the concessions had been granted by the Remington Arms plants officials, that the men could now resume work at the Remington plants and that negotiations for settling the trouble with other plants in the city would be Immediately undertaken and from favorable appearances, would be con rIuded in 8 manner equally beneficial Tor the strikers and their employers.
 All that was changed this morning In the neighborhood of o'clock when It became known that the striking n1achinists, acting in the belief that 6heir troubles had been settled and that they were to return to work i1n- der better conditions than formerly, were refused entrance to the Rening- ton plants and were informed that they were not wanted.

DESPERATE BATTLE ON
 TO CAPTURE WARSAW

London, July 26.-FTghting for Warsaw has shifted from South Po- land, where the most desperate eff forts of Field Marshal Won Mackenzen have been unable to win an appreci- able advance to the north of the Po- fish capital where the Germans have crossed the Narew river along wide front
 Petrograd so far has not admitted this German success. It also still is apparent, London observers say, that that the Ostrolenka fortress, from which radiate three useful strategic railroads, continues to be controlled by the Russians although, the attack of the Germans from Pultusk north wards has brought them to a point south of OstroIenka.
 The latest success of the Germans brings them within 25 miles of North Warsaw but the Polish capital has a. second line of defense in this direc- ton along the Bug River.
 To the southward the Germans are attacking the defense lines near Pia- seczno which is 12 miles from. War saw
 The stubborn hold of the Russians on LubHn-Chelm railroads Russian advices say, are not only being main- tained but they are resisting counter attacks.

DEATH OF MRS. SARAH DODGE.

The death of Mrs. Sarah Dodge
whose home had been in Wausau for
nearly half century, occurred on
Wednesday morning at 1870 o'clock,
Feb. oath, 1915. Up to within COM
paratively short time ago she had al
ways been strong and full of energy
Nearly a year ago she was taken i'll
and since, had been ailing more or
less. The last illness, to which she
succumbed, was only of few weeks
duration and despite the best medi-
cal aid and the care which loving
hands could give her, she passed
away.
Deceased was born on the 4th day
of July, 1854, at Saginaw, Mich, Her
maiden name was Sarah Wright. She
came to Wausau with her moGher
when young lady and her nome has
been here ever since that Jime. She
was united in marriage shortly after
wards to William Dodge, who, for
many years, was actively engaged in
logging and numbering coming to
Wausau in 1854, and this was his
home until he died on the 21st day of
June 1903. He was a young man
when he landed here from Rochester,
N. Y, near which city he was born,
but he had strong body and willing
hands and he soon had the founda-
dation laid for future competence.
He enlisted in Co. g., 18th Wis. Vol.
at the beginning of the civil war and
served until its close. He was not
only we'll known as lumberman but
also in g. A. R. circles.
Mrs. Dodge was member of the
Women's Relief Corps and of the
First Baptist church. She is survived
by two sons, William E. and Charles
Dodge, who have large interests in
the Cereal Mills Co., formerly known
as the McEachron Milling company.
The funeral services took place on
Friday afternoon at 2 O'Clock, from
the home at 108 Mcclellan street,
where deceased has resided nearly all
the time since her marriage. Rev.
0. d. Briggs, pastor of the First
Baptist church officiated. Beautiful
floral offerings, tokens of affection
from friends and neighbors, were in
profusion.
The nall hearers were MesSrs
Oran Liljeqvest, G. H. Hooker, George
Pfeiffer, Henry Mckay, G. H. Krueg-
er and w. r. Chellis. Interment
was in Pine Grove Mausoleum.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

1t might be interesting to everyone
to know that several OF our most
popular high school teachers enjoyed
a long walk last Saturday afternoon.
They took the route, commonly called
the loop, and had great difficulty in
keeping their direction, and at sew
eral times, so one of our inforpers
said, the quartet lost its way. We
high school pupils are surprised that
these teachers several of whom have
been in Wausau two years, seemingly
lost their way; that they did is evil
denced by their unusually late ar
rival in the center of the city. One
of them said: ""The reason we ate
downtown was that we returned too
late to eat at our regular boarding
place" Well, that may be SO.
Miss Roeser after great deal of
consideration and examination of
other operas, has decided that, if it
is permitted by the agents, the opera
to be given by the graduating class
this year will be, martha" or, "The
Fair at Richmond. F" This is rather
an old opera but the edition to be
used is an abridged one. The text
was written by w. Friedrich, and
the composer was Friedrich Won Flo
tow. Undoubtedly the most beauti-
full one of the solos in the book is
'sTis the Last Rose of Summer"
There should be an excellent opera
this year for it appears that there
are an abundance of stars to make up
the cast.
Miss Pleuss has returned to school
and has resumed hes teaching. She
was i'll the latter part of last week
with the Ia grippe.
On this coming Saturday evening
w. r. norman of the Y. Nj. G. A.
will lecture at the high school on the
subject, "Birds and Insects" His
address and the sterioptican mixtures
accompanying it wiz De followed by
moving picture on "Egert and
Other Birds"
Last Saturday evening Judge a. II.
Reid addressed an audience at the
high school on Shadows of great
City" The address and steriopticon
picture were most interesting. The
moving picture was titled, "rhe
Awakening of John Vaughn"
Some afternoon during the coming
week the high school pupils and
teachers will gather in the high
school auditorium for the purpose of
singing the olo songs. Miss Roeser
has received new book and these will
be used. The object of this is TO
create more interest in the music in
our high school.
Lulu Jane Abercrombie enter
tanned the high school royalty last
Friday afternoon where she sang sew
eral beautiful selections. She was
accompanied by Miss Ruth Kreutzer.
There was lyceum last Friday
afternoon, consisting of orations.
Fred Genrich acted as chairman as
John Manson, who is president OF
the lycenm, was unable to be present.
The Tomahawk basketball team and
those who had accompanied them
here, were guests at the school on
that afternoon.
