GENERAL STRIKE Of
MACH|N|STS NEAR
international Officers Plan to
Force Eight.Hour Day and
Wage Increase.

NEW YORK. Aug. s-Hints of a gem
eral strike throughout the country
against all shops which have not put
into effect an eight-hour day were
thrown out by officials Of the Interna-
tional Association Of Machinists after a
conference in their headquarters, 11s
Nassau street
J. J. Keppler, vice president of the
association. admitted the situation had
reached a stage where a strike might
be necessary to bring in line employers
who so far have refused to follow the
example of the Bridgeport shops and
plants in granting the union demands
for an eight-hour day and a Is per cent
wage increase. Nearly 100000 employees
have benefited by the recent actiyities
Of the association, he said.
Keppler predicted that 10000 would
benefit before the campaign was ended.
The Schraeder plant, Brooklyn, was
said to have promised an eight-hour day
and graduated increase in wages. The

France Will Take Over
Grain for Distribution

PARIS. Aug. s.-The chamber Of dep
uties. by a vote of AT to l3 adopted a
bill authorizing the government to take
over all stocks of wheat, oats and corn
for equitable distribution at reasonable
sprices.
Deputies who supported the bill ex-
pressed fear that extravaganza In the
use of cereals during the coming year
might exhaust the nations supply. This
is largely due, they said. to the fact
that millions of bushels of wheat, oats,
ments will be harvested by the Germans,
who occupy that part of France.
The department of agriculture furn-
ished estimates that the cereals har-
vested by the Germans on French soil
during July and August would be suf-
ficient To feed 100000 people for two

TODAY'S BEAUTY HELPS

Nothing excites more criticism than
a woman with her face all daubed
with face powder in her desire to hide
a faulty or an aging skin. Instead
of using powder. which clogs and
enlarges the pores. 1t is far better to
use good face lotion that will i'm
prove and permanently benefit the
skin. By dissolving four ounces OF
spurmax in a half pint Of hot water
you can make an inexpensive lotion
that will do wonders as a skin whitener
and complexion beautifier. 1t re-
moves all shininess. sallowness and
and gives the skin smooth
velvety tone. while 1t does not rub of
easily like powder, nor does 1t show
on the skin.
Fy washing the hair with a tea
spoonful of canthrox dissolved in a
cup Of hot water. afterward rinsing
thoroughly with clear water. one finds
that 1t dries quickly and evenly. is un-
streaked. bright. soft and very fluffy.
SO f1uffy. In fact. that 1t looks more
abundant than 1t is and SO soft that
arranging 1t becomes a pleasure. This
simple. inexpensive shampoo cleanses
the hair and scalp thoroughly of ali
dandrun and dirt. and leaves a clean.
wholesome feeling. All scalp irrita-
tion will disappear, and the hair will
be brighter and glossier than ever
before.

Russia May Purchase
100000 Shells Here

CLEVELAND. Aug. 1s.-The Russian
Government is reported to be placing
contracts for nearly quarter of a bill
lion dollars worth of war munitions in
the United States. OF that sum approxi-
mately SO, 900 probably will pour into
the Golfers Of Cleveland factories.
Henry c. Osborn. president of the
American Multigraph Company, out
lined the extensive ratifications of the
huge order for shrapnel shells placed by
the Rueians in New York ten days ago.
Contracts We're let for a maximum
OF 100000 Shells" Mr.. Osborn said.
THE deal revealed the fact that Nor
gan & Co, were acting not only as
financial agents for the British War
Ofhce. but also for the Russians. Vir-
tually the vast quantity Of shells was
ordered in one contract split up among
a number Of companies. complete
sne!! Will cost $lS. making a total cost
Of 1924 ,0O0, 900.
The Russian commission Is expected to
arrive in New York within a week.

bold highwaywoman was foiled in her

War Order Is Refused

ST. LOUIS. Aug. s.-A large metal
company here has refused an order to
make ammunition for the British army.
To the British purchasing agent c. F.
Blancke. president Of the company,
wrote:
I'VE are equipped to make war am
munition. but when we stop to consider
that this ammunition will be used In the
killing OF men who through no choice of
their own are forced into this war. and
that our large output can be used to
cause the death of thousands. we realize
the condemnation that could be meted
out to us by other neutral and right
thinking American citizens who are
praying for the end of this bloody war.
So we would not care to enter into a

continue this war, no matter how
profitable In financial way such a con-

Two Russian Armies
Trapped Between Bug
! And ViStula Rivers

BERLIN, Aug. S.-Two Russian
armies. numbering more than loo.OOO
men. are two-thirds surrounded in the
angle formed by the Bug and the Wis.,
tula rivers. German forces are ham,
mering in from north and south Of
Warsaw in a determined effort to close
the trap.
Dispatches from Berlin reported that
General Heltz. commanding the right
wing Of Gen. Won Gallwitzs forces, has
reached the Bug near It's confluence
with the Narew and has begun an at
tempt to cross the river to attack the
Russian flank. His attacks were pre-
ceded by heavy bombardment Of the
Russian positions for several miles
along the river front.
Southeast of Warsaw, the Germans
who crossed the Vistula week ago.
are smashing their way through hastily
constructed Russian trenches towaSd
the Warsaw-Siedlce railway. Their au-
vance. Berlin asserts. not only menaces
the Russian forces that retreated from
warsaw, but threatens to pierce the
Russian lines between Praga and the
region north of Ivangorod.
Berlin military critics predict that the
Russians within twenty-four hours Will
evacuate the whole district Of the Bug
Vistula angle to save their armies from
Soptuie. OIL tne Slav rOrCo In
fraga that bombarded Warsaw already
has begun a retreat.
The latest German dispatches do not
confirm unofficial advices declaring the
Germans are about to enter Riga and
koVno. The official bulletin from Ber-
lin reports that progress was being
made toward the west front Of kovno
and that 800 prisoners had been taken,
put contained no mention Of the Riga
The military critics explain that the
obstruction of the Vistula bridges had
impeded the pursuit of the Warsaw
garrison and expressed hope that the
. ring now being drawn around the War
saw district will result in greater cap-
lures.
In the long battle line. the Russians
are attempting serious stand only on
small sector north of lvangorod. On
Doth the northern and southern sides OF
the warsaw salient, the Slavs are ngnt-
ing desperately but steadily giving
ground. their object apparently being
only to hold back the Germans until the
escape.

union men took no further steps in their
attempt to get such concessions from

visited most of the big Brooklyn plants
to learn their attitude toward the asso-

The stand taken by the National
