Disaster Strike Result.
The president dwelt on the disas-
trous effects of a strike upon the coun-
try, more especially in time like the
present. when every ounce of Amer
lean energy and initiative would have
to be mobilized" to meet the extraor-
dinary situation that will Immediately
emerge from European war.
President Wilson told the railroad
executives that the great war has
taught this country that it can no
longer remain isolated and provincial;
that by reason of it's position in inter-
national matters I'VE must be ready
to play our role as one of the domi-
nant influences in world affairs
He added that the various business
and economic interests of the United
States, in order to meet the exigencies
Of the new world conditions, must be
brought together into q harmonious
whole.
Cabinet Discusses Situation.
While the railroad executives were
working today on a counter proposal
to President Wilson's plan to avert a
railroad strike, the cabine! went over
the situation fully and confidence was
expressed that in the end the railroad
presidents would accept the plan.
Cabinet members agreed it was not
feasiable to hurry the railroad execu-
tives to decision. The counter pro-
posal is expected to be the next step.
but there was no outward indication
today as to when it will be taken.

Paris. Aug. 22.-The Italian acontin-
gent Of troops landing at Salonikf is OF
really important proportions, according
to information here In addition the
Temps, in reviewing the military situa-
tion today, alludes to the presence of
Russian troops along the vedar river,
which il confirmed, would make five al
lied contingents engaged in the entente
campaign in the Balkans
The announcement of the landing of
Italians at Saloniki is regarded here as
deeply significant, indicating an i'm
portant reinforcement Of the already
large army of allies, composed mainly
of British French and Serbian troops.
The participation of the Italians in
the Balkan campaign also is considered
another evidence of the internati onal
spirit prevailing among the allies and is
compared to the sending of the Russian
contingents to France. BY this move
ment the allies are distributing their
effectives far beyond their own borders,
The fighting on the Saloniki front is
becoming more general, says a Havas
dispatch mailed yesterday from Salo-
niki. In the Doiran section Serbian
troops have captured two forts.
= The heaviest fighting is on the front
northeast of Salontki on the Struma
river. On the western end Of the line
hostilities are confined for the most part
to artillery.

to traffic in munitions Of war. will
