Dam Gives Way
 in North Carolina
GREAT DAM AT LAKE TOVAWAY
 NEAR ASHEVILLE
NO LIVES WERE LOST
Lake Was an Artificial Body of Water Covering $50 Acres, With a Average Depth of 30 Feet-compIeteIy Destroyed.

AshevilIe, N. C., Aug. 13.-The great dam at Lake Toxaway, weakened by the recent floods, broke this evening, sending a great wall of water down the valley toward western South Carolina. No lives had been reported lost late tonight, and warnings are believed to have enabled most persons in the path of the flood to reach a safe place. TI.e lake was an artificial body of water, covering $50 acres, and had an average depth of 30 feet It was reported almost entirely drained. The dam, an eighth of a mile long and 50 feet high, was completely destroyed. The town of Lake Toxaway suffered only minor damage.
 Waters Rushing Through Valley.
 The released waters tonight were rushing through the Toxaway river valley, comparatively uninhabited region toward the Chuga river in South Carolina. Anderson, WaIlahaIIa and PiCElins comprised the territory imne- diately threatened and warnings were telephoned to all places that could be reached. It was estimated that the flood would not reach Seneca before early tomorrow and persons familiar with the territory believe the wagors will spread out over the uninhabited country south of Toxaway and thus minimize the possibility of extensive damage.

Hard fighting in the Somme region of France. Galicia, and in the Italian theatre, with further gains for the en- tcrte allies in all their regions, marked the operations of Saturday night and Sunday.
 Northwest of Pozicres, north of the SOmmc, the British over a front of nearly a mile made an advance of from 900 to 400 yards against the Germans and also captured trenches on the pla- teau northwest of BazcntinIe-P Petit while the French southeast of Maure- pas gained a further foUthoId on the slopes of Hill 109.
 Between Thiepval and the Somme Saturday night according to Berlin, assaults by the entente allies broke down with heavy casualties to the at tackers. The fighting near Hem and Naurepas continued throughout the entire night and into Sunday, the men repeatedly coming to grips in hand-to- hand encounters.
 Maurimp0l, in Galicia, seven miles southeast of HaliCz. he town of POdgi- ky and several villages along the upper Sereth river have fallen into the hands of the Russians.

 On the Byslritza sector and near Monasterzyska, however, Berlin says the Russians have been thrown back at several places by the counter at tacks of the TeutoniC allies.
 The Duke of Aosta is keeping up his strong offensive against the Austrians in the IsOnOz region, having driven them from fortified positions in the MonfOlCone and Gorizia sectors and made prisoner of more than 2,000 ad- ditiCnal men.
 Constantinople reports that the Turks east or the Suez canal have turned the attack against the British and compelled them to retreat with heavy losses. The London war office, however, disputes this statement, as sorting that the British cavalry is still in pursuit of the Turks rear guard, which Saturday evening had been driven back to a position east of Birs Fl ManCa.
 After a long period of inactivity, the British along the Euphrates in MesO- JItamia attempted all advance against the Turks but retTeated after two hours fighting. Further advances of the Turks against the Russians on the Persian front and in Turkish Armenia are claimed by COnstantinople.

 Reports differ as to the reason 10 the failure of the negotiations in viev of the cheerful outlook that obtainet the night before. The men asserte' they refused arbitration because tn railroads insisted on aTbitrating. thei contingent proposition' The boar of mediatOrs in a statement tonigh declared, however, the men rejectet their proposition, contending that the, would not arbitrate even if the rail roads waived the contingent proposi tion. The statement of the mediators issued by Judge Martin A. Knapp chairman of the board, just befor their departure for Washington, fol lows:
 Statement of Mediators.
 After repeated efforts to brini about an arbitration of the pendint controversy between the railroads an, their employees in train and yard ser vice, the United States board of me diatiOn and cOnciliatiOn was today ad vised by the representatives of tn employees that they would not submi the matters in dispute to arbitration il any form.
 "The employees further stated to thi board that they would not arbitrad their own demands even if the con tingent demands of the railroads wer withdrawn, and also declined to sug geSt any other plan or method for q peaceful settlement of the controversy
 They were informed that their de cision would at once be made known to President Wilson and also that tlB l president claimed the right to a per sona1 interview with both parties be- ! fore any drastic action was taken l This action was, of course, granted and 1 a large delegation of employees with q number of railroad managers will bi in Washington Monday for a confeE ence with the president.
 Early in the negotiations the rail- roads had informed the board of mes diation and conciliation that theI would accept arbitration" Objection to Arbitration. | The chief objection of the men tC arbitrating the railroads contingent proposition" lay in their contention that the proposal entailed the wipins out of double compensatio nfeatures which the men have gained during thirty years of effort. The railroads have contended that double compen- sation. together with the demands o, 1 the men, if granted, would increase the wages of many of their enployes more than 100 per cent.

DROWNED WHILE TRYING
 TO RESCUE SMALL BOY.
Charles A. MelIen of New Britain Was
 Seized With Cramps.

Branford, Conn, August 13.-CharIes A. Mellen of New Britain was drowned in Long Island sound late to- night in a fruitIess effort to save a four year son of MT. and Mrs. Giles EIdredge of New Britain from Irown- ing.
 MT. and Mrs. DIellen and infant daughter and MT. and Mrs. Eldredge and child were cruising off ROcIzIGnd Point in Q 20 foot launch. The sea was chOppy and in turning toward short a large wave struck the craft amidships, the shock throwing Mrs. Eldredge and her son into the water. Mrs. Eldredge who is a fair swimmer, started for the launch, holding her sons head above water. Mr. Nellen, who had just recovered from an ill., ness, jumped into the water and went to their assistance. Mrs. Eldredge shouted for MelIen to take the cIiId; that she could swim to the boat As she was being pulled aboard the craft, Mellen apparently, was seized with cramps and sank with the child.
 Up to a late hour tonight neither body had been recovered. Mrs. MelIen collapsed, and was taken to a New Haven hospital. The Mellen and EIdredge families were spending the day at the Remington cottage at Short Beach.

PINCHOT SENDS PROTEST
 TO SECRETARY LAIN
Against the Pending PheIan Oil Land
 Amendment.

Washington, Aug. 13.-Gifford Pin chot, former chief of the forest service today sent to Secretary Lane of the interior department an opinion letter declaring the secretary had abandoned the conservation of policies and despite a recent denial is exercising his infiu- enCe in favor of the pending Phelan oil land amendment, which would open up the western oil reserves set aside for the navy. If this legislation is en- acted, wrote MT. Pinchot, the oil land reserves set aside for the navy will be destroyed. The mere threat of it's passage has caused the navy depart ment to seriously consider the sta bility of abandoning the policy of con- structton of oil-burning ships. Without them no navy can even be second class

 Communication from President Wilson.
 MT Tumulty brought with him a communication from President Wilson addressed to the brOtherhoods and the railroad managers, pointing out that such a paralysis of business as would follow a general railroad strike would create a tremendous sensation and would be nothing short of a disband- ment of present business. He bases
 his request for a conference with rep resentatives Of both factions before a strike order is issued by the leaders of the men.
 Declined to Arbitrate. Negotiations had not been broken off when MT Tumulty left Washington, but when he reached Philadelphia he received a telegram from w. L. Cham bers, one of the mediators, informing | him the men had declined to arbitrate. MT. Tumulty's first step after reaching 1 this city was to call President Wilson on the long distance phone to deside on an hour for the fatefuI conference at the White House tomorrow.

DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS ON
 $20O, 100000 REVENUE BILL
Appropriations by Congress Breaks
 All Records.

Washington, Aug. 13.-The import ance of the $20OOO0. 900 revenue bill on which senate democrats today de- voted many hours of deIiberati0n in caucus is being impressed upon lead CTS by the fact that appropriations of the session now nearing completion have broken all records.
 With passage this week of the $5O- 100000 ship purchase bill and probable approval by the house of the senate's gigantic naval bill. the appropriations of the siXty-fourth congress will have exceeded the previous high record by at least half a billion dollars. While exact figures cannot be computed un- til the gavel has fallen on the last supply bill of the session the aggre- gate appropriation by congress for all purposes probably will approximate $1,700 100000 as against $1,114, GOO, 900 for the sixty-third congress.
