ENGINEERS TO MAKE
 AN INVESTIGATION
Acting Chief of Engineers War Department to Determine Horse Power Possible in Ar kansas Proposed Sites.

Little Rock, Aug. 1S.-Dr. C. H. Brough has written Commissioner Mcknight an interesting report of his visit to Washington, in the interest ot the proposed government nitrate plant. He writes that he got in touch with all the Arkansas delegation in Congress, and found them all doing all in their power for the proposition of locating the plant in Arkansas. He conferred with Col. H. C. Newcomer, acting chief of engineers, war depart ment, who said that thorough in vestigatiQn will be made of proposed sites in the state to determine if a horse power of 100000 can be devel. oped.
 "A preliminary survey" writes Dr. Brough shows that the Ouachita river ranks thirty per cent availabil-
 ty, the White river 35 per cent, and the Russell Shoals, Tenn, 95. How ever. Russell Shoals would cost an enormous sum to develop and we may have a fighting chance, although l think the odds are in favor of Russell Shoals at present unless we get busy"
 Dr. Brough thinks there is no likeli hood of the plant being split, but that it will all be located at one place. In formation as to the availability of sites should be. sent to Mai Fiske at Vicksburg, Major Dent at Little Rock, or Major Barton of Dallas. No deci- sion will be made in the immediate future. A grave question has arisen as to whether hydraulic power will be used, as some prefer steam or elec- tricity as cheaper. It has been re- ported, after a survey, that it is pos sible to generate about 105,000 horse power at the Ouachita site. The plan has been to employ hydro-electric power at the proposed plant in Ar kansas.
 Commissioner Mcknight has been in correspondence with Frank s. Washburn, president of the American Cyanamid Company of New York, whose mills are located across the line at Niagara Falls. He says that a continuous 15,000 horse power is necessary for practical size plant for the fixation of atmospheric nitro gen. and that an initial capital of about S3,OOO,OOO is necessary. The product of the plant can be used both for commercial fertilizer and in the manufacture of high explosives.

lOyANCE SHARP BUT
 IS NOT MAINTAINED
pr;ces Rise on Weather Report Close 10 to F Points Uu- SEcht Reactions Followed Publications of Forecast.

New York, Aug. 17.-Apprehen-
 ,;ors as to the course of the tropical
 storm reported in the gulf caused a
 ,born advance in the cotton market
 bere today, but the improvement was
 not fully maintained and the close
 was barely steady, a net gain of 10
 to 12 points. December contracts sold I'D from 14.39c to 14.55c, or about
 % noints above the lowest reached on
 tho break at the end of last week, and closed at 14.48e.
 The market opened steady at an advance of 1 to points, and sold 7 tn 10 points net higher right after the call The failure of the early wealth or man to show much rain in the Southwest as had been suggested by private reports appeared to be partly responsible for early buying.
 Slight reactions followed publica- ton of the forecast for unsettled wea- ther in Texas and Oklahoma, but the market frmed up again on reports that the West Indian disturbance was passing through the Yucatan channel into the gulf and was moving rapidly in direction slightly north of west. This led to apprehensions that the storm would reach the central or west gulf coast by the end of the week. During the middle of the afternoon the market frmed up again on rumors that bullish private condition report would be published before the opening tomorrow The close was several
 points off from the best, under profit taking and Southern selling.
 Cotton closed barely steady.

RESENTS FLING AT
 SOUTH BY HUGHES
Helena Business Mems League Scores Republican Candidate Hold No Animosity Toward Northern People.

Helena, Aug. 17.-Resolutions con demnlng the course taken by Charles E. Hughes, Republican candidate for the presidency, in his criticisms of the South in his speeches, were unani- mously adopted here today by the Helena Business Mems League.
 The resolutions take exception to one of MT. Hughes statements that the South is in the saddle," and that the Southern people are incompetent to hold federal offices" The resolu- tions deplore the injection, by any candidate, "of political buncombe de- signed to stir up sectional hatred and strife in order that he may be success full at the polls"
 That no animosity is felt toward the Northern people by citizens of Helena is evidenced in one portion of the resolutions which says that: "This league points with pride to the Helena and Phillips county residents who are natives of the North and that it welcomes with open hearts the good people of all parts of the earth"
 The league also resolved that "Hel- ena was disappointed over the fact that a citizen of the United States honored by his countrymen in such a manner as has been Judge Charles E. Hughes, should become so ambitious to defeat a worthy opponent that he has seen fit to wave the bloody shirt

NO CHANGES OF IM-
 TORRANCE REPORTED
Beyond Repulse of Six Fierce German Attacks Little of I'm pOrtance Occurred in Vest Mystery As To East Front.

London, Aug. 17.-For the first time in weeks no change of import ance was reported in any theatre of war Thursday. The most violent fighting took place on the western end of the British salient on the Somme. Six times the Germans ad- vanced in force in a desperate effort to bend back the British line north west of Pozieres. London reports that all of these assaults were re- pulsed with heavy losses and the Brit ish in turn captured about 100 yards Of trenches northwest of Bazentin.
 An interesting feature of the situ- ation on the western front is that the Germans, contrary to their usual practice, have so far made no at tempt to deliver a counter attack in the region where the French and British claim to have captured nearly three miles of trenches Wednesday, The French are busily consolidating thSiI SdiHS anu IepOIJ iO dSllOIl Ol importance on any section of their front including the Verdun region.
 Some mystery exists as to the situ- ation on the eastern front, for two consecutive days the Russians have confined themselves to statements that nothing of importance has oc- cured. The Austrian and German war offices have been almost equally uncommunicative. The only fight ing mentioned by Vienna was the repulse of Russian attacks on the lines of General von Boehm Ermolli in command of the Teutonic forces retiring from the Tarnopol front.
 The Hull in the Italian operations against Triest is unofficially ex- plained from Rome as due to General Cadorna's desire to strengthen his lines before proceeding with a general offensive against the great Austrian seaport. Austrian seaplanes agair have raided Venice but Rome says they caused only slight damage

PRESIDENT APPEALS
 FOR EIGHT-hOUR DAY
In Event He Cannot Sway Finan- cial Powers, President May Go Before Congress for Legisla- ti0n to Prevent Tie-Up.

Washington, Aug. 17.-President Wilson today laid his plan for avert ing the threatened railway strike be- fore the employees committee of $40 and having found the managers com- mittee adamant to his proposal that they accept the eight-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 agers President Wilson will appeal finally to the financial powers which control the roads, for it is his purpose to deal with the ultimate authority before he gives up his effort.
 The presidents plan, which is ex- pected to be formally accepted by the employees committee at a meeting at 3 o'clock tomorrow morning, proposed:
 An eight-hour day as the basis for computing wages.
 Regular pay at the eight-hour day rate for overtime.
 To refer all other collateral issues to a small commission to be created by Congress, on which the employees, railroads and the public will be repre- sented.
 The acceptance of the proposal by the employees was forecast by eXpres- sions of their leaders after they left the presidents conference. One of them declared: "The men would be fools not to accept it."
 Presidents Want Arbitration.
 The attitude of the railroad presi- dents is not so clear. They began ar irving tonight; all are expected to be here tomorrow.
 No one can say what will be the effect of an appeal such as a president of the United States, speaking in the name of the welfare of nation, can make. But from such information as can be gathered it appears that the railroad presidents, if the managers committee understands them, are un- | alterably opposed to conceding the eight-hour day or anything else out of hand, but are quite ready to arbi- trate anything and everything in al most any form of arbitration upon which the employees and the commit tee may agree.
 The railroad presidents, it is under stood, justify their stand upon the broad ground of maintaining the prin- ciple of arbitration which, if sacri- feed in this instance, they intend to- tell the president, it will be destroyed as factor in the settlement of in dustrial disputes.
 If the railroad presidents persist in that view and are supported by the financial powers, only the future can tell the outcome.

HARVESTER co. EMPLOYEES
STILL HOLD THEIR GROUND
The strike of mOuldeTs at the Nc
Cormick and Deering plants of the
International Harvester Co., the Ill.
Malleable Iron Works and the West
eTn Foundry Co. nears the close of
its second month, with the $3.50
strikers as insistent as ever of their
demands.
The men who were unOrganiZed
when they struck, because the mea-
ger wages paid them for the IabOri-
Gus, health-wrecking work would not
afford them a decent living, are now
welded into a solid union. They have
determined that it is better to starve
in a fight for right than to starve as
slaves of merciless crushers of Ia
Dor. The companies affected are tied
up almost completely. They are try
ing to work stTikebreakers, but can't
get many of them.
Every conceivable. means means is
being employed by the L H. c. to get
its men back to work without recog-
milton or the union.
John Pawlak was seized by detec-
tives in his home, 1907 W. 25th st.
He was taken to the Mccormick fac
tory clubhouse. The detectives took
him around the clubhouse and he
was shown the lockers, the baths,
the reading room, gymnasium and
dance hall. He was told that the
clubhouse would be turned over to
him and those whom he could induce
to come back to work if they would
only return to their jobs. He refused
and was put in a Maxwell street. sta
ton police cell. He was held for 48
hours without booking until Michael
Kraszewski, president of the new
Foundry Workers union, heard of
the arrest and secured his release on
bond by demanding a jury trial.

BIG CIGAR WORKERS BODIES
PLAN TO UNITE

Progressive Cigarmakers' union
has voted in favor of accepting the
articles of utilization with Interna-
tiOnal Cigarmakers' union. Articles
were agreed upon at previous con-
ferences between executive boards of
both unions.
It is believed that the members of
the International, who are now to
vote, will favor the articles over
whelmingly, and then the two unions
will become one.
The affiliatiOn will have a far
reaching effect upon cigarnakers
and their employers. The workers
would undoubtedly be in a better po-
sitiOn to make demands and get
what they wanted.
THE cigarmakers have been work
ing for the last 25 years at about the
same scale of wages" said a man
who is working for the amalgama-
ton. Besides, the manufacturers
have gradually systematized and di-
vided the making of the cigar, so
that wages have actually decreased
80 to so per cent for half of the
workers"

The Deutschland proved it vas able

The officers state the American
government acted in a correct matter
as neutral, vigorously enforcing re-
spect for it's frontier waters from
the British and French warships, by
the employment of it's own men-of-
war. Eight British ships e on
