the threatened railway strike before
the employees committee Of GAO.
Having found the managers commit
tee adamant to his proposal that they
accept the .8-hour day he appealed to
the railroad presidents and asked
them to come to the white house for
a conference.
There is every indication that if the
railroad presidents sustain their man.
ayers, President Wilson will appeal
finally to the financial powers which
control the roads, for it is his purpose
to deal with the ultimate authority be-
fore he gives up his efforts. The
presidents plan which is expected to
be. formally accepted by the employees
committee at a meeting at 8 O'Clock
tomorrow morning proposes:
An S-hour day as the basis for COM
putting wages.
Regular pay at the 8-hour day rate
for overtime.
To refer all other collateral issues
to a small commission to be created
by congress on which the employees
the railroads and the public would be
represented.
Acceptance Of the proposal by the
employees was forecasted by expires
sions of their leaders after they lef
the presidents conference. One o
them declared: "The men would b.
fools not to accept it,.
The attitude of the railroad presi
dents is not so clear.

Russians Now in Position to
Flank Middle Portion of
The Teutonic Front.
SLAVS EAGER TO ATTACK
'Have Enough Ammunition
to Take Us to Berlin"
Declares Russian Officer.

The continued success Of General
Brussiloff's two powerful movements
which are gradually enveloping Kovel
and Lemberg, have begun to have
marked effect on the situation in the
central portion of the front which, ex~
cept small Russian gains in the lake.
region of Dvinsk, has remained vir-
turlly unaltered since the Russians
fell back last autumn to the line from
Dvinsk to the Pinsk marshes. The
Austrian line now has receded so far
before the repeated thrusts of the
southwestern Russian forces in SOUTH
ern Poland and Galician that the Ger
mans are in great danger of Ranking
movements from the south and the
automatic retirement of the forces OPP
posed to Russian center.
A corps commander who showed
the correspondent of the Associated
Press huge supply of ammunition
and material at the disposal of one
part of the force engaged in this sec
ton of the front, said: 1--WE have
enough ammunition stored away to
take us to Berlin.
The soldiers seem to be plentifully
supplied with wholesome food and
are living under the best sanitary con-
ditions. They are surrounded by
comforts and conveniences compare
BILE TO those at a modern American
summer camp. The spirit and light
ing strength of the Russian soldier
appear to be very high and troops
confidently expect to occupy their
original quarters in western Poland
For the first time in weeks no,
change of importance was reported in
any theater of the war Thursday. The
most violent fighting took place on
the western end of the British salient
on the Somme. Six times the Ger
mans advanced in force in a desper-
ate effort to bend back the British
lin northwest of Pozieres. London
reports that all of these assaults were
repulsed with heavy losses and that
the British in turn captured about 100
yards of trenches northwest of Ba-
Zentin.

Defeated The Purpose Of a
Young Man Bent on
Suicide.
ANTIDOTES USED IN TIME
Ellis West, Bridegroom Of
Three Months, Says He
Wants To Die.

Ellis West, aged %, attempted to
commit suicide yesterday at 1890 p.
m, at the home of his mother, Mrs.
Mamie West, on Twenty-First street,
but failed in the opinion of the attend
ing physician, because the poison
with which he attempted to poison
himself was made up of strychnine,
rough-on-rats and carbolic acid, and
failed to kill him because the poisons
neutralized the mixture and one
counteracted the effect of another.
Mr.. West had been married to Miss
Linnie Hayes only three months ago.
When a doctor came to administer
medicine he said, 81 want to die, |
have nothing to live for. T." But later
submitted to treatment and took the
antidotes given him and did as direct
ed by the physician.
Mr.. West had worked at the Mogul
Wagon Works for a number Of years.
Several weeks ago, it is said, a dis
pute between him and another work
man at the wagon factory had result
ed in his resigning his place there.
Yesterday just before he took the
mixture of poisons, his sister heard
him fire two shots from the bach
yard. 1t is not known what caused
him to fire the shots.
