London, Aug An the house OF
commons premier Asquith repeated
that ii Is an essential condition to
peace that Belgium and Serbia be re-
stored. not only politically, nationally
and automatically, but materially and
economically to the positions in which

Dealing briefly with the measures
proposed for the course OF the war and
during the period of reconstruction
the premier said 1t is the bounden
duty of the allies TO take every step
to secure for their own use the sup
plies produced by their own countries.
As far as Great Britain is concern

fairer distribution among all classes

allies to obtain reparation for the
devastated areas, and, second, that
these resolutions are not aimed at
neutrals"

with groans Several Irish women
standing at the rear of the Penton-

Two Catholic priests. Fathers Ring

WILSON ANXIOUS
TO AVERT STRIKE
May Take Extraordinary Ac-
ton in Railroad Case.
BUSINESS MEN APPEAL

Chamber of Commerce of United
States Tells President Tieup Seems
Inevitable and Urges Him to Take
Steps to Avert Threatened Disaster
Washington Aug 4.-William L.
Chambers. commissioner of the fed
eral board of mediation and concilia
tion was called in by President VIII
son in connection with the threatened
strike OF 100000 employees of rail
roads
The president is anxious to get all
the information possible on the situa-
ton to intervene if a strike seems
inevitable.
The mediation board takes the posi-
ton that nothing of a formal nature
can be done by it until after the re
suit of the strike vote is known and
the employers and employees finally
tail to agree.
The president. however, is consider
ing whether extraordinary action may
not be taken.
The president forwarded to the la
Dor department an appeal received
from the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States through Harry A.
Wheeler. chairman of the chambers
committee on railroads, declaring a
strike is inevitable unless some
strong measures of Intervention are
speedily introduced" and urging an
inquiry
The form OF Intervention suggested
is outlined IN resolution recently in
troduced by Senator Newlands OF Ne
vada. which would have an investi-
cation and report of the wage situa-
tion by the interstate commerce com
mission Pending the result of this
any strike would be deferred until the
recommendation of the commission
could be had.
Urges Federal Inquiry.
II beg. Mr.. President, that you will
regard this letter as seriously and
conservatiyely setting forth the actual
conditions as / sense them and that
you may be led to start in motion an
inquiry at your earliest convenience
to verify the conclusions here recit-
ed" Mr.. Wheeler said in his letter.
In anticipation of a general confer
ence here on the question the Cham
Der of Commerce has sent to all COM
in
of the letter to the president with a
request that each send a representa-
tive to such a meeting.
Mr.. Wheeler said he had been con-
yinced at a meeting of representatives
of the employers and employees in
New York that an amicable settle
ment was remote.
Il am assured" he added, there
will be no modification of the attitude
of the railroads Neither is ii TO be ex-
pected that the representatives OF the
men, with the new power of the strike
vote in their hands, will recede from
the position which they have taken
heretofore
"The United States board OF media
ton and conciliation may come into
the matter at this point, but without
effect, in my judgment, in bringing
these contending factions together.
Finally arbitration may be discussed
and the break will come when the
railroads absolutely refuse to arbf-
trate the demands of the men and the
men refuse with equal force to admit
| into the arbitrations the contingent
! nroDOsals of the roads.

Message on a Mans Scalp.

We hear much about secret writing,
but have not yet heard of anything to
beat the simple cunning OF n His
tiaeus. a Greek, at the Persian court in
the fifth century, B. c., who wanted to
send a private message to a friend at
Miletus. He took a slave with bad
eyes. and. under pretense Of curing
him shaved his head.
The message vas then written on
his scalp, unknown even to him, the
hair allowed to grow again, and the
slave sent OF to Miletus with a letter
which all could read, saying how well
he had been cured. And the friend.
with whom the plan had been ar.
ranged, only needed shaving materials
to uncove the secret message.-Lon-
don Chronicle.
