At 1870 O'Clock yesterday after
noon the American ambassador con-
ferred with Foreign Secretary von
Jagow and at D. m. officials of the
foreign Office called at the embassy
for a second conference. It was af-
ter this last conference that the ca

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
Roosevelt, Aug 26:-Following
the settlement of labor differences at
the International Phosphate &

other increase of fifteen cents day.

cents day last week, making the
total raise twenty-five cents a day.
Their wages ranged from 50 to s2.25
q day, as compared with the new
scale of from $2.25 to $3.50 day.

met with officials of the company at
$50 O'Clock yesterday afternoon in
Firemen's Hail. Superintendent
Nelson, of the International plant,
took prominent part in the discus
sions. At the close of the meeting
it was apparent that the men we're
satisfied with the result and would
return to work on the next shift.

ployes of the Wheeler Condenser and

Britain to Fight to Finish.

London, Aug 26.-The positive asser-
tien that Great Britain is determined
to continue to fight until Germany
abandons her ambition of supremacy
ls made In a statement issued by Sir
Edward Grey in reply to a speech of

IN GERMAN HANDS
Great Fortress Falls Before On
slaught of Victorious Teu-

BEILOSTOK IS TO FOLLOW
Will Give Germans Command
of $50 Miles of Petrograd-
Warsaw Railway.

Z Berlin, via wireless to Sayville,
Aug. 26:-The fortress of Brest
Litovsk, Russia's greatest strong
hold, has been taken by German and
Austro-Hungarian troops. An Off
cial announcement from the war
Office this afternoon said:
THE fortress of Brest LitoVsk
has been taken by German and
Austro- Hungarian troops. They
stormed the forts on the western
and northwestern front and entered
The enemy thereupon surrendered.
Capture of the fortified Russian
city of Bielostok is expected within
a few hours. General Won Gallwitz
was within eight miles of this city
early yesterday. His troops fought
their way over the Narew river on
the preceding day and reached the
Warsaw-Petrograd railway south
west of Bielostok. The Russians
were making stubborn resistance
when the last official dispatches were
filed, but were retreattng slowly
eastward instead of falling back on
the city itself, indicating prepara-
tions for the city's evacuation had
been made.
With the Russians driven from
the city the Germans will hold the
entire 11O miles of the Warsaw
Petrograd railway from Warsaw to
Bielostok. Part of the railway from
this city to Brest Litovsk is already
in German hands.
The Russians are believed to be
retreating eastward and north, their
right flank protected by the forests
to the north and their left flank COW
cred by the marshes that delayed
the Austro-German advance from
the south
The ease with which Rrest Litovsk
was taken is one of the greatest
military surprises of the war. The
fortress has been under direct at
tack for only few days. The west
ern forts evidently gave way quickly
to the pounding of the German AZ
centimeters. Once the forts were
