Causes Uneasiness.

Washington, Aug ld.-Succcss or
failure in reaching a common ground
for settling the threatened general rail
road strike hinged today ON the dis
posal of other issues, growing out of
the eight hour day principle.
Hope of arbitration has gone The
president is understood to have definite
discarded this as means of accom-
pishing peace. But there was strong
hope that with the railroad conced'
ing the basic principle of the shorter
working day, some way would be found
to satisfactorily dispose of the question
of the collateral issues including over
time pay.
An indication that the general situa-
tion is such as to give cause for some
uneasiness is found in the fact that the
president deems it advisable TO appeal
directly to the 600 members of the EN-
ployes general committee now in New
York, awaiting developments. These
men have been asked to come to Wash
ington and President Wilson will speak
to them in the big gold room of the
White House probably tomorrow after
noon or Friday. The appeal to the gen
eral committee is made at the sugges-
tion of the employees subcommittee, who
believe that if the men they represent
can hear from the president, the same
arguments presented in conference here,
the 600 may yield on certain points
which the subcommittee is now com
PEELED to stand by.
As the day began in Washington,
there could be said TO be no change in

POLK GOATS GO TO TEXAS

The Importance of the AngOra goat
industry in western Oregon is illus
trated by the shipment a few days
since of a carload-about 130 head
to Texas by William Riddell & Sons
of Monmouth. About one third of the
shipment are females, the balance
bucks. Twelve, one buck and IL fe
males, are taken by the experiment
station of the Texas Agricultural col
lege, which also took a few from U
s. Grant of Dallas. These are very
fine goats and high price was paid
The Angora industry in Texas is com
paratively new and state and college
officials feel the need of more knowl'
edge on the subject, hence the ex'
periments as to the best way of feed
ing and caring for them to get the
most profitable results in hair and in
breeding. In Texas the goats are
sheared twice year and the hair is
finer, but not so heavy as in the
moist climate and with the rich feed
of this region.
Part of the carload is contracted
for and part of it is taken by Leslie
Riddell to his ranch in Texas, where
the demand for Angoras is active. Les
lie is son of William Riddell, who
has been in Texas nearly three years
and is building up reputation there
as Angora breeder, such as his father
and brothers at MOnmouth.-Dalhas

GERMANS CERTAIN
CONTINUED From Page one.)

Aeroplanes reported Russian troops
massing behind the Russian front but
no one believed the Russians as strong
as they have been discovered to be.
The Russian tactics kept the Austrians
guessing for several weeks but now the
whele AustroGerman front is reor.
ganized and the earlier Russian advan.
tages are being overcome.
The fab df Stanislan and Goritz
were admittedly unpleasant, but viewed
strategically have different meaning,
according to German military men.
These reverses ,were completely out
weighed by the Russian failure to
reach Kovel and Lemberg. The Ger.
mans marvel that they didn succeed
in view of the gigantic English and
French blows, but at the critical
moment, German troops arrived and
stiffened the lines east of Kovel
We bivouacked last night near the
front where the Russians on Aug. 8, at.
tempted great offensive. / walked
for two hours in the front line trenches
watching German eleven inch shells
bombarding the Russians. Major Won
Cheller, former attache of the German
embassy at Washington, and Captain
p. Behn, former German consul at
Denver, explained the lay of the sur
rounding country. We also visited the
headquarters of General Bernhard,
who is commanding an army on this
front but he was suffering from in
fluenza and unable to receive us.
The night scene at the front was
enhancing. The sky was lit by count
less great fires about which the com
panies were encamped within n few
hundred yards of the Russian positions.
The bands played and the soldiers
sang. Not single cannon was fired.
There is a nightly truce. The Russians
occasionally shoot light cartridges to
illuminate the fields between the
trenches and prevent surprise attack.
Far off in the distance an Austrian
battery was pounding the Russian rail,
roads.
The new armies on this front are
composed of Polish, German and Aus
tre Hungarian troops which Officers
said, illustrated the new spirit of com
radeship and is a sure indication of the
strength of the central powers.

hour day, providing the question OF
overtime shall be submitted to an inves-
| tigation, the employees today were con
sidering proposition embracing this
temporarily, with present rates for ov-
ertime. Both sides would thus yield
somewhat from their original stand.
Climax Comes Tomorrow.
The employees insist the railroads OF
the president suggest the means of in
vestigatlon and allow them to pass on it.
One plan discussed is that advanced
by the Industrial Relations committee.
1t provides that in case of diragree-
ment such as the present, board OF
mediation and investigation should be
created, to include one member from
each side and third to be chosen by
the two selected, or by the president. 1t
would be necessary then to give by leg
islative enactment powers to the board
to administer oaths, subpoena witnesses,
compel attendance and testimony and
demand production of pertinent evil
dence from both sides.
1t is understood that the employees
may be willing to make, or at least con
slider six months trial of the PROPOSE
ton comprising an eight hour day and
present rates of overtime.
While the president today tempo
rarily ceased his activities as mediator
pending the conferences held by the en-
ployes and managers in New York and
Washington, administration officials
are hopeful that with the resumption
of direct efforts tomorrow, it will be
possible to establish the groundwork
for settlement.

Petrograd, Aug. 16.-Despite stub
born enemy resistance at some points
the Russians advanced their lines on a
75 mile front, extending from the Car
pathians to point southwest of Tarno-
pol, in yesterdays fighting, occupying
two villages.
South of Brzezany, another Russian
detachment forced crossing of the
Zlota Lipa river. Austro-German coun-
ter attacks then checked a further ad-
vance.
Fierce fighting is going on in the
angle of the Zlota Lipa and the Dnies-
ter, north of Stanislau. In the face Of
desperate enemy resistance, the Rus
slams advanced their lines further in
the direction of the railway town of
Halitz.
Southeast of Stanislau, the right wing
of General Letchisky's army captured
the villages of Solotvina, and Griava,
on the Zlota Bistritza river.
Near the Carpathians, the Russians
followed up their victories forcing the
