Fierce Fighting But No
Change In West

London, Aug. ga great battle of
nations with the troops of nearly every
European belligerent involved, is grad
ually developing in the Balkans as the
fighting along the $50 mile front in
creases in fury.
Turkey is sending reinforcements in
TO Bulgaria, according to an Athens
dispatch today. At least one division
of Turkish soldiers is en- route to Join
the Bulgars in the attack on the allied
lines, while another division will be so
placed as to threaten Rumania should
that country decide to enter the war
on the side of the allies.
Austria will be asked to send few
detachments to the Greek border to
join the Bulgars, Germans and Turks in
resisting the combined attacks of
French, English, Russians, Italians, Ser
bians and Montenegrins. In no en-
gagement of modern history have the
armies of so many nations been in clash
along one battle front.
Forced to yield advanced positions
under the first Bulgarian attack, the al.
lies have reinforced their lines and are
strongly on the offensive in the Varda
amy VI bulOUlhd. on the
wings, the Bulgars have made further
slight advances by reason of their num-
erical superiority but Anglo-French ar
tillery and the stubborn resistance of
the serbs has considerably checked the
momentum of the advancing enemy
forces.
All press dispatches from Rumania
bear evidence of close censorship. but
from direct source it was reported
that fighting in the Balkans has caused
profound impression in Bucharest.
But despite war like reports brought
TO London in a roundabout way. many
persons well informed on the Balkan
situation do not believe that Rumania
will enter the war at least until the
allies have advanced up the vardar val
ley and have scored decisive gains
against the .Bulgarians. 1t has been
known here for several weeks that the
Third Rumanian army was mobilized
and in readiness for instant service
but there has been no other positive evi-
dence of military movements to war.

Seeking FOR PLAN
TO YIELD DAY BUT
SAVE ARBITRATION
Say They Are Fighting at the
Last Barrier Against Labor
Aggression
FREIGHT RATES HIGHER
TO FOLLOW ACCEPTANCE
One Official Said I'VE Do Not
Want to Buck Up Against
the President
By Robert J. Bender.

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Washington, Aug. 23.-The three cor
nered effort under way here to avert
nationwide railroad strike appeared
this afternoon to have run into a Jam.
Leaders among the railroad presi.
dents said they could not see how any
conclusions could be reached in less
than As hours. At the same time, in
another part of the city, leaders of the
railroad brotherhood representatives
were planning ways of holding in check
an uprising on the part of the broth
erhood representatives. An unanimous
strike demand might come then, they
said.
President Wilson in a conference with
Chairman Newlands and Adamson of
the senate and house interstate COM
merce committees, urged the taking of a
step that obviously contemplated final
agreement by the railway presidents
with his plan. This was the passage by
the senate Of the bill already passed by
the house to increase the interstate com
merce commission from seven to nine
members.
The increase will be necessary to pro-
vide rapid hearings on the railroads GER
tain demand for rate increases following
any agreement to the eight hour day de-
mand by the brotherhoods-and the
president
The railroad presidents, for their
part, are working now to find way to
accept the eight day and at the same
time "preserve the principle of arbi-
tration" for the future.
Fighting to the last against abandon
ing what they term the ." final barrier
against labor aggression they have
asked President Wilson for some con.
crete proposition. for avoiding recurring
labor differences.
Apparently convinced that settlement
now must be worked out on the presi-
dents fundamental proposition the
roads are trying to "save as much as
possible from the wreckage." They
want protection against further strikes
and some assurances of increased rev.
enue to meet the added expense which
they claim attend acceptance of the
eight hour day.

WOMEN AND MONEY ARE
BR|BfS TO .RUMAN|A
German Official Tells Of
Means Used to Influence
Rumanian Officials

Berlin, Aug. 23- Beautiful women
and huge sums of money are being used
by the allies in the great diplomatic
battle being waged at Bucharest, the
allies seeking to bring Rumania into
the war.
A distinguished German diplomat,
whose name was, not revealed, made
this charge through the semi.official
German news hgeney today. But
despite the allies efforts, Rumania is
yet undecided, he said, adding:
Rumania has been the sphynx and
is still now shrouded with a mysterious
veil behind which the political passion
and agitations, not only of the Ruman-
ians, but of the allied agents, are at
the highest pitch"
"The allies agitation reached its
height at the beginning of the last
Russian offensive said the diplomat.
AT the same time the allies announced
a Balkan offensive by General Sarrail,
which was undertaken purely for
political purposes. The central powers,
in their official reports, stigmatized
Sarrail's operations as "feigned." :" Now
a sudden Bulgarial. offensive had put a
quick end to the allies activities. The
Russian offensive is apparently slack,
ening.
"At present Rumania is still unde.
cided. She probably will not give up
her well calculated, clever neutrality
which has brought her an enormous
gain in power, unless she thinks that a
really decisive turn has been reached
in the war. Meanwhile trade relations
between Rumania and the central
powers continue small.n

table when President Wilson first an
nounced this scheme for settling the
question.
Some even are talking among them
selves of agreeing to the eight hour
day and letting the consequences take
cars of themselves. "Let the result be
on the presidents head" they say.
These, however, include few of the
presidents of the bigger railway sys-
tens.
The latter are working as hard as
they ever worked in their lives, to avoid
making the concession. They toiled
late into the tropical night last night
and were at it again in the hot haze of
early morning today.
The object of their efforts is a tang
ible counter proposition that will EN-
body something of the presidents pur-
pose and the brotherhoods demands and
yet save the situation for the railroads.
They face the fact that, failing to find
such counter proposition, they can ex-
peet only strong insistence from the
White House that they accede fully to
the presidents s own plan.
