WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s.-President
Wilson's negotiations for averting the
threatened nationwide railroad strike
are in the last stage, with o break
or a settlement apparently not far
off.
With railroad executives standing
firm against conceding the eight-hour
day and the brotherhood leaders stilI
standing out against arbitration the
hopes Of preventing tie up of the
country's transportation system seem
to lie with Congress.
Just exactly what has been done
none OF the Congress leaders them
selves seem to know. Conferences
among them and with President VII
son which began last night were con-
tinued today and the Presidents post.
poned engagements with the railroad
executives from ten this morning un.
til 1880 this afternoon to give him
more time for conferences with lead.
ers In Congress.
The situation was viewed on all
sides as the most perilous since nego-
tiations began two weeks ago. The
hope Of the President and admins.
tration leaders was in the possibility
OF getting the brotherhood men TO give
more time to continue negotiations.
Since last night the belief that
negotiations between the railroad ex-
ecutives and representatives of the
men would end without an agreement
has been growing.
This feeling was strengthened 10.
day when the members Of the brother.
hood committee OF $40, tired OF theix
long wait, departed for home after
delegating their powers to eject q
settlement or call a strike to o com
mittee OF twenty-four, instructed un.
der no circumstances to agree to ar
bitration OF the demand for al eight
hour day at the present rate OF pay
for ten hours.
There was report last night, how
ever, that the president might ask the
men to postpone action for q period
in order that he might seek iegisla-
tion which would force and provide
a settlement without tying up the
country's transportation systems.
Secretary Lane and Senator New
lands worked until late last night
framing bills for presentation to con-
gress.
The measure given most serious con-
sideration was one drawn along the
lines Of the Canadian act. which pro-
vides for investigation OF Industrial
disputes by commission for ono
year, and prevents strikes or lockouts
during the period Of investigation. II
1t finally is decided to press such
measure, an effort will be made TO
put It into effect at once.
Other legislation under considera-
tion including the following measures:
An eight-hour day law for railroad
employees.
A bill increasing the membership OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission
from seven to nine members with au-
thority to divide into groups.
A resolution stating 1t to be the
sense Of congress that Iif the railroads
grant basis eighthour day they
should be entitled to Increased reve.
nues compensatory with the decreas.
ed operating expenses.

Especial Dispatch to West virginian)
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. IS
There has been no Federal aid of the
flood sufferers in the Kanawha yet.
There will not be until Secretary of
War Baker, who has been campaign.
ing in Maine, returns and passes on
the case himself. A report is on file
at the war department quoting Cover
nor Hatfield as declining assistance
from the national government. This
report Is strenuously denied by Cover
nor Hatfield in telegram sent to Con-
gresham Littlepage to an inquiring
wire sent to the governor by Mr.. Lit
tlepage.
A report submitted 10 the War De-
partment by Major T. II. Jackson, OF
the engineers corps, stationed at
Wheeling. after stating that Capt
Lee had made personal investigation
of the stricken region, says, paragraph
8: From this information It is be.
lieved that Federal aid is not need.
ed. The Governor of West Virginia
stated 10 Capt. Lee, US the latter was
leaving the district, chat Federal aid
had not been asked and that 1t was not
necessary"
1t was this which caused Congress-
man Littlepage who was the author
of the relief resolution passed by
Congress. to rush a telegram. to Cover.
nor Hatfield, which read as follows:
Captain C. H. Lee of corps Of en-.
gineers Of war department who inves.
ugated conditions in the flooded dis.
trict Of Cabin Creek and Coal river,
has reported to the war department
that while he was leaving the district
the Governor of West Virginia had
stated to him that Federal aid had not
been asked by the state and that It
was unnecessary. Please wire imme.
diately whether he quotes you correct
ly."
The prompt reply from the Governor
to the above read:
ION August 18th ! wired Sena.
tor Chiffon that we would be ap-
preciative OF anv service the Fed
eral government might render.
Such posts as Capt. Lee, who came
into our state and without calling
on the Governor or Adjutant Gem
eral, who are familiar with the
situation, attempts to cover 1000
square miles Of flooded area in two
days period paying a hurried call
on the governor as he was leaving
the district would feel tend to
disgust the officials Of any state,
as well as those who have been
so unfortunate as to be flood suf-
ferers. / can do no better than
to repeat to you my message to
Senator Chiffon that the unfortu-
nate people would. am sure, be
grateful for any contribution to
them the Federal government
cares to make. l was not cor.
rechy quoted to YOU"
Upon receipt Of this telegram from
Governor Hatfield, Congressman Lit.
tlepage Immediately took 1t to the
officials at the War department. He
demanded immediate Federal help as
provided in his resolution, which IL.
President signed last Thursday. Moth.
ing was done, however, with Mr. Lit.
tlepage's demands except to defer
them until Secretary Baker returns
from Maine. He was expected to be
at his desk here today.

day evening it is announced officially
here:
Rumania thus becomes the four.
teenth nation to Join In the war. Her
Intervention either on the side of
the entente allies or the central pow
ers has been awaited with symptoms
Of concern by both sides since the
beginning Of the great conflict. This
is due not entirely to Rumani's mill
tary strength. but also to the straget-
tv advantages Of her geographical po.
sition and the fact that her entry into
the struggle opens to the Russian
army, a gateway through Rumania to
attack the Bulgarians from the north
while the allied army, having its base
at Salonilti, attacks them and their
German allies from the south.
BERLIN, Aug. 2s.-Although Italy's
declaration Of war against Germany
was absolutely unheralded and came
as accmplete d surprise 1t failed to
cause the slightest ripple of excite
ment in Berlin.
The announcement was made public
syesterday afternoon in the customary
extra Sunday newspapers which gave
official war reports. Idle crowds
spread the declaration undemonstra-
lively and then continued the usual
Sunday stroll.

Planting Crops Too Early

Farm Advisor Paschall, of Co., chise-Santa Cruz Counties, re- ports that farmers in his terri tory are showing a tendency to plant their crops too early thls spring, and that there is danger of the crops already planted be- ing killed by frost. Further more. the plants do not grow well during cold weather. and the early planting does not give sufficient opportunity to properly prepare the seed bed. There is a great scarcity of pure seed o1 field crops of the adapted yarie- ties, and farmers are being urg- ed to plant seedbreeding plots ir order that more pure seed may be available next year.

Newspapers From Distant Lands

Newspapers From Distant Lands
 The Chamberlain Medicine Company, Des Moines, Iowa, manufacturers of Chamberlain S Cough Remedy, advertise not only in this country but in fore ign lands. A copy of each issue of every newspaper containing their advertisements is sent to the office of the Chamberlain
 Medicine Company as proof of the insertion of the advertise ment. Some of the papers bear names of places, which require one to recall forgotten geography or refer to the atlas to locate. Some of them are particularly curious as they are published in the vernacular or native langu- ages which might be likened to the carefully written notes of a shorthand writer.
 The News received this week a bundle of these foreign news papers from the Chamberlain company and to an American newspaper man it is interesting to note the manner in which the colonial English newspapers are made up. They still cling to the methods which were practiced in this country fifty years ago, the advertisements being upon the first few pages, followed generally by the heavy editorials, then a few meager cable and telegraphic items, afterwards the locals news. The local news consists principally of the proceedings of the legislative bodies, town council, school board, etc. Contributions by the readers are numerous and lengthy.
 The editorials are generally of a more dignified and serious nature than American produc- tions. The daily papers devote more space to book reviews and detailed reports of scientific pro- gress than American newspapers 1o. Humor is not so noticeable and cartoons are used more rarely than with us.
