CRISIS NEARING IN STRUGGLE ON
 EASTERN FRONT I
Loss of Transport Ship OvershadoWs News of
 Land Fighting.

London, Aug. 17-The British Ad- n1iralty's record of transporting great numbers of troops to the various fight as reported officially, has been broken after more than a year of war. The torpedo of a submarine has at last found the mark and the transport Royal Edward has gone to the bot tom in the Aegean sea. with a loss of life which may reach 1000. The brief Admiralty announcement sh ows that the Royal Edward was engaged nelles front, where Australians and New Zea1anders have been largely en1+ p1oyed.
 ' In the land fighting a crisis has not been reached in the present stage of the eastern campaign. Grand Duke Nicholas, the Russian comnander-in- chief, will not be able to assure the safety of his armies until the menace presented by the operations of Field Marshal Won Hindenburg in Courland is removed. In the Bausk district of Courland the German army has been driven back toward the As river, while Kovno is still stening the Ger man tide. The chief struggle, how ever, centers in the region north of
  cent success of Russian resistance. Betweeen the Narew and the Bug the German drive evidently is making some headway,- although Petrograd claims, that attacks of the invaders in this region have been repulsed after heavy fighting. Along the middle Bug the Austrians and Germans have forced several crossings. If the Rus sians plan to hold the valuable trans verse railroad running through Wilma, Grodno. Bia1ystok, Brest-Litovsk and .Kovel, they must soon check the Aus trians and Germans definitely.
 a From the standpoint of the entente allies, the Near Eastern situation. is clearing with the assertion, officially inspired from Nish, that serbia's attt- tnde is not irreconciab1e, but that the settlement must be more general than a mere rectifcation of the frontiers in one, locality. Former Premier Venf- zeIos, having beeen summoned by King Constantine. is expected to be once more in the saddle tomorrow. Ru- mania is becoming more determined in her refusal to permit passage of munitions to Turkey, which country is reported to be showing concern oyer the attitude of Bulgaria

METAL POLISHERS WANT CHANGES IN
 ARMS co. PLANT
Especial Grievance Enter tained Against Head of
 Bayonet Dept.

Because it is asserted the Reming- ton Arms plant officers are overlook ing a few clauses in their agreements with organized labor. another cam paign was instituted there to-day.
 John J. Flynn, international vice president of the Metal Po1ishers', Buff fers, Platers, Brass and Silver Work CTS union of North America, came to this city to-day to see that some griev- ances of the po1ishers are attended to.
 In the. bayonet department where the poIisl1ers work, the men are com p1aining of the etsub division of trade system that has, been put into effect there by a new superintendent
 The subdivision of trade syste m is contrary to the agreement with organized labor it claimed. It was introduced with an eye to efficiency, it is said. but it is not relished by the men.
 According to the gossip that brought MT. Flynn here, the new su- perintendent at the bayonet depart ment is a gentleman, who, for the purpose of speeding up the men in one factory he bossed, usurped 10 minutes time they had for. washing themselves. He is said to have been superintendent once of the Edward Miller Lamp O., of Meriden.
 It is texpected that a conference with officials of the plant will remedy matters.

Later it was said that prize offered by Germany for the sinking of a transport had been distributed. No official state rnent was made, however, either in Berlin or in London
 Details feGarding, the movements of transports Have been withheld as a matter of precaution by the British government, and the precise nature of the methods employed to guard them has not been disclosed.
