English Fear that the Appointment of yOn
 Hindenburg VIII
 Start Attacks.
BRITISH WANT REVENGE
Will Demand that the Germans Replace all Sunken Ships when
 War SI Ended.

LONDON, Sept. s.-Tho belief Is held here that vou Hindenbers's appointment ls but a prelude to the resumption of ruthless submarine warfare and it has caused a revival of the demand that for every AL lied merchant ship sunk by sub marine, Germany be required at the conclusion of the war to hand over equivalent tonnage. The Dean of Worcester, the Very Rev. wm. Moore Ede, leads in the demand with a letter to the London Times, asking:
 "Why should not the Allies in. form the Central Powers that as they have agreed they will not make a separate peace, so they have en- tered into a mutual compact that they will consider no terms of peace which do not contain a stipulation that for every merchant ship of the Allies sunk by a submarine after notification Of this decision. a siml- lar ship shall be handed over by the Central Powers to the Allies, or equivalent tonnage?
 "As long as Germany believes she would be in position to dictate peace such a threat would have lit- tie effect, but now that the rulers of Germany and the commercial men like Ballin. know that the most the Central Powers can hope for is negotiated peace, the fact that the Allies were pledged to such condi- tlons would lose the ardor of ship ping interests for policy Of ruth less submarine warfare"
 The Westminster Gazette editor ially comments on the suggestion, adding:
 "The Allies might go further and take German ships to fln the place of Allied ships illegally sunk or de- 5troyed by German U-boats. The question of shipping after the war $ in some respects a good deal more important than the question Of tar ifs, and it is highly necessary that we should have a policy as well as Germany"

The court held in this case that the power given the government to compel people to remove improve ments from tide lands where they menace navigation or are obstruc- tive to river and harbor improve ments means just what it says, and cannot be used in cases where the question involved is simply the right of the owner of the improve ments to the possession of the lands they are on.
 The court decided that the im- provemcnts in question were not n menace to navigation.

Death Bed Transfer
 Defeats Purpose of
 c. $. Bjorklund's Will

Carl S. Bjorklund, the fate building contractor of 679 Dewey street, left no estate, although on February 26 this year, when he was stricken with what proved his last illness, he drew will with beQuests to church and charities and dividing his real estate among his wife and children. After the will was drawn he changed his mind, however, and transferred everything he pos sessed to his wife, Emma Bjorklund. It is believed the estate will total S22,00O, which includes cash in banks. These sums and all his realty holdings were transferred to his widow when MT. Bjorklund was on his death bed.
 The action of Mr. Bjorklund in transferring all his property to his wife defeats the purposes of every clause in his will. His son. Carl. said today, however, that his mother would carry out each provision of the doc- ument as written by her husband and that the church and charity would re- ce1ve the beQuests as directed. He said there will be no contest
 The will was drawn by Attorney Carl Foster and offered by him for probate today.

KICK OF HORSE
 MAY BE FATAL
 TO BOY VICTIM
Sport Hill Lads Skull Frac tured-Almost Arrest Mo-
 torist Who Aids Him.

Performing an act of mercy last night, William J. Seeley of Sport Hill, was nearly arrested when he brought to the emergency hospital a 10-year- old boy who had been kicked in the head by a horse. It was thought that Seeley had struck the boy with his automobile and it was several minutes before the correct version of the acci- dent was related and Seeley was all lowed to go.
 Albert Lazerus, who lives in house across the road from Seeley's home, was the boy kicked by the animal. No one knows how the accident hap pened, but the boy had been lying in the field for nearly an hour before discovered by Seeley, who wondered why the youngster lay so still in the field. When his condition was appar- ent, Seeley placed him in his automo- bile and drove to the emergency hos pital in this city.
 While Dr. J. F. Canavan was ex- amining the boys injury, which proved to be fracture of the skull, Lieuten- ant Of Detectives F.. D. Cronan went eto the emergency hospital, ana the surgeon, believing that Seeley's auto mobile had struck the boy, told him to tell his story to the lieutenant.
 Seeley said that his brother could give a better version than he and started to call him from the auto mobile, when told to stay in the build- ing while the police did the calling. It was not until he was brought be- fore the desk and was asked how his
 
 ner in which young Lazerus suffered the injury was known.
 Lazerus was taken to St. Vincent s hospital where the surgeons trepan- ned the skull. It is said at the hos pital that the boys chances of recov- cry are about even.

Yes indeed there noticeable military note in the hat fashions for Autumn.
 It is not displeasing It is not too asserve But it IS bright and smart and pleasing
 Here IS hat plainly inspired by the high Russian headgear Here that is reminiscent of the days of Napoleon! Here is the briapce in color we associate with the Italian and the Bulgarian regiments; here right alongside is the dull soness of color that we've all read of that uniform which to melt away its climbs the hillside because it blends the very colors of Nature.''
 Oddly enough black velvet is the one outstanding favorite material
 But how richly it is decorated Here are ornaments of tinted metal! Here unique iridescent feahers Here peacock feathers with their quaint curs and curves.
 And there is fine variety of that good oldfashioned fuzzy beaver. It has the charm the fuzzy sweaters of It has depth and richness of color And what graceful shapes it appears in
 Smooth felt hats of and green and such delightful hues!
 And foppy hats small hats broad hats to apparent cut down ones height and buup hats to add to sature tailored hats with lines hats with odd trimming there why personally pick style you most desire.

RAILROADS FORM
 BIG ALLIANCE TO
 COMBAT STRIKERS

Washington, Aug. 31-Presidents and operating officials of the railroads of the country are in conference to- day for the purpose of formulating plans to operate trains in the event the of the four brotherhoods of train men, set for next Monday morning, takes place.
 Virtually none of the railroad heads shared in the optimism expressed in some quarters at Washington that passage of the eight hour bill by Congress would avert a strike on La- bor Day.
 Railroad officials plan to run at least one passenger train a day on every road and in each case, it is an- milk trains.
 The railroads, according to tentative plans, will pool their resources.
 Strike-breakers, it is understood, will be hired not by individual roads, but by a central committee of . all roads and distributed where they are most vitally needed.
 The plan for a harm onious alliance of all the roads will be definitely for mulated at a meeting at the Chicago CluD Utudy Ol 70 llSH TdllTOaO IS in the city.
 Independent of the transportation strike the railroads are facing a new labor problem in the threatened strike of 35,0OO shopmen on 20 roads west of Chicago. Unless their demands for an eight hour day and five cents an hour wage increase are granted they announce that they will take a strike vote on September g. The men involved are the machinists, boilermakers, blacksmiths. sheet met al workers and carmen.
 Chicago city officials will meet to- day to tabulate the city's food supply and discuss local transportation. The embargo on live stock will cause a shortage of fresh, meats in various cities of the country within few days, according to packers, and in many in- stances, the price of meats has al- ready gone up.
 It is understood at Fl Paso, Tex, that in the event of a strike, the mili- tary authorities plan to run supply trains between the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific coat, in order that troops along the border may be fur nished with all necessities.
 Many guardsmen on the frontier are experienced engineers and have expressed a willingness to operate supply trains if the railroads are un- able to furnish men.
