Summary
 OF; THE War News

B Gernlany's naval losses in the recent operations in the Gulf of Riga and in, the Baltic were lone of the most apoWerful dDead- thoughts of the German fleet two cruisers and eight torpedo boats, according to the Russian Admir- atty statement today. It had been previously announced in Petro- grad that the big vessel sunk was the battle cruiser MoItke, sent to the bottom in< the Baltic by a British submarine.
 The only Russian loss mention ed in Petrograd's account of the Gulf of Riga engagements was that of the gunboat Sivutch, sunk. after an unequal fight with a German cruiser and topedo craft after accounting for two German torpedo boats.
 A German torpedo boat de- stroyer was sunk off }Ostend Sun day night by two French torpedo boats which escaped undamaged, Paris announced. The British goyernment issued an official de- nial of the report that the steam re Dunsley, which was torpedoed shortly before the sinking of the Arabic, was an armed patrol. She was an unarmed and peaceful trader, it is declared.
 Plans for joint military action by Italy, England, France and Russia against Turkey were ar ranged in July and can immedi- ately be put into execution, ad- vices from Italy assert,

EDWARDS OvERRIDES LUDLUM IN SILVER co. PLANT, BUT
 EMPLOYES WALK OUT AGAIN

After the factory had been open ed for the purpose of receiving any striking employees who might return, the Holmes & Edwards International Silver Go. was shut down again, at 11:3O o'clock this morning.
 A committee from the factory wait ed upon George c. Edwards, presi- dent of the concern this morning and presented the demands of the strik- CTS. The eight hour day, 55 hours pay, a 10 per cent. increase in wages besides, and abolition of the premium system, were asked. The strikers waived the demand they first made that they get 10 minutes for wash ing.
 Supt. Ludlum of the plant had said Saturday that the eight hour day demand was impossible, and that the company had said it's last word to the strikers. However, MT Edwards had caused to be posted an announceme ent of the eight hour day this mcrn- ing.
 Mr Edwards said the demands couldn't be granted. He declared it would be necessary to shut down the factory under those conditions. The men were adamant, however, and they reported back to the strikers and the strikers agreed to stay out until the terms are conceded
 "A meeting was held at ? o'clock this afternoon in St. Joseph's hall for the purpose of formally voting on the re-

 transports constituted the greatest naval disaster suffered by Germany
 during the war.
 For the last week both Petrograd
 and Berlin have been sending meagre Rreports of naval operations in the Gulf of Riga, which were interpreted to

 to land forces for the purpose Of. sup

 q decisive victory for the allies, to- gether with the expulsion of the sur
 viving units of the German naval
 forces from the gulf, contains few de- tails in addition to an enumeration of
 German losses It is assumed that. inasmuch as Petrograd aIanounced several days ago. that her. large war ships had retired From the gulf, the mosquito hotilla assisted by s1bma- rines and land defenses, wrecked un- expected destruction on part of the conveying German fleet andthe trans ports
 [ The moral effect of this action 9n the
 Russian people is expected in London to be great, as it probably will do
