DANIELS TALKS
WITH SHIP AT SEA
Gives Orders by Wireless
Phone to New Hampshire,
Cruising in South.

Hello, operatori This Is Secretary
Of the Navy Daniels. Please connect
me with Captain Lloyd H. Chandler
commanding the battleship New Hamp-
shire. now cruising off the southern
drill grounds"
"Just a moment, sir"
The hum of busy radios beats against
the delicate sound plate in the tele-
phone receiver which the Secretary
holds TO his ear. From somewhere IN
tho distance another receiver is taken
from its hook and the steady beating
Of the battleship's engines is family
heard as they send the vessel plough
ing through the waves. Ihen comes
mans voice, quite distinctly: .
Hello! This is Captain Chandler OF
the New Hampshire
Orders Fly Over Sea.
And while Mr.. Daniels sat in his Of
fee and the warship continued Oh us
way the Secretary and captain wished
each other the top O. the afternoon.
Then the Secretary ordered Captain
Chandler 10 be under way at lO O'Clock
this morning and to report ms positloh
verbally to Washington every hour DUR
ing the day.
This actually happened late yester-
day afternoon, when for the first time
in history a post on land and snip
rnoving across the seas were placed IN
communication by wireless telephone.
The incident was only one in a forty
hour mobilization Of the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company 5
facilities for tho use OF the army and
the navy. -
At o'clock yesterday afternoon. b.
pa miles of the company's telephone
wires and the vast area swept oy us
wireless apparatus passed under mar
tial law into the hands of the Navy
Department. Until o'clock to-mor-
row morning all orders issued from
Washington to the naval stations on az
coasts of the country will go over the
company's wires or by its wireless.
The forty-hour mobilization is de-
signed to show how completely the ma
toms communication facilities are pre-
nared TO serve the army and navy IN
time of war and TO demonstrate the
possibility Of directing ships at sea
from Washington by wireless tele-
phone.

Fear that a break between the
United States and Germany would
impair the ability of the United
States to aid in restoring peace In
Europe is said to have Influenced
Pope Benedict in communicating
with the President. The message,
taken in connection with the sus-
gestion in Germany's last note tha.
she was ready 10 consider peace on
certain terms caused deep interest
among officials here. The Pope.
like President Wilson, Is understood
to be ready to make peace sugges-
tionS when he believes the time ripe.
The President read with careful
attention to-day the portion Of the
note touching on peace. Unusual
significance was attached to that
part of the note because il was taken
to indicate officially that recent
speeches Of Chancellor Won Beth
mann-Hollweg before the Reichstag
were intended as notices TO the world
that Germany was ready for pea&c
on certain terms.
Move Up TO Allies.
The note says: "The German Gcf,.
ernment, conscious of GermanY's
strength, twice within the last I'd w
months announced before the world
its readiness S6 make peace on "a
basis safeguarding Germany's vi, al
interests, thus indicating it is jot
Germany's fault if peace is s ill
withheld from the nations Of Eu-
rope"
1t was thought to-day the Ger.
man note might possibly draw forth
something from the Allies. The
papal plea could well pave the way
to such a course.
Other Signs Of Peace Bid.
The Pope's plea, taken in connection
with dispatches from Rotterdam and
Berlin to-day, has led TO other infer
ences also. Germany's desire TO return
10 old conditions Of contraband before
the war is seen as an attempt 10 get
in touch with England through the
medium Of the United States. Nego-
tiations once opened, there would be
the opportunity to discuss peace terms
to greater advantage than contraband.
A similar method, it is pointed out,
was used with reference TO Ambssss-
dor Gerard's visit to the Kaiser at
Great Headquarters. While the nomi-
nal object was understood 20 be the
discussion of Germany's reply, the
Kaiser broadened the conference 70
take In the whole subject of peace ne
gotiations.
Pope Benedict has been represented
as being hopeful that the United States
would be the agency to bring peace 20
Europe. Several months ago Cardinal
Gibbons brought word on the general
subject to the President from the Pope.
Details were not divulged and con
ficting explanations we're made in

WHEAT ADVANCE LITTLE
FELT IN LOS ANGELES

Los Angeles, Aug. "a canvass
of wholesale bread manufacturers and
Aour mill managers indicated that
Southern California thus far has felt
the advance in the price Of wheat less
than other sections Of the country.
There are no present indications of
on increase in the price of bread.
San Francisco. Aug. 9.-The price
Of wheat will have to soar higher be-
fore there will be any material re-
duction in the size of loaf of bread
here, according to Superintendent H..
G. Krause of the California Baking
Company.
"There is city ordinance fixing
the minimum weight of 5-cent loaf
Of bread at IL ounces said he. "At
present, the loaves sold for that price
weigh from 10 ounces TO a pound"
New York, Aug. 9.-The increased
cost of flour, lard and labor is given
by New York bakers as ample reason
for either the reduction in weight or
the raising in price of the ordinary
5-cent loaf of bread
Everything that is used III making
bread, and the cost of labor as well,
has gone up" said c. L. Abbott of
the Abbott bakeries. "The size of the
leaf must be reduced OF the price in
creased"
Chicago, Aug. 9.-Increasing the
price Of bread appeals to bakers no
more than it does to the consumer.
There is only one answer, and that is
l0-cent bread" said Paul Schulze, OF
the Schulze Baking Companies, here
today.
"We can make profit on the big
loaves at 10 cents, but not on the
small ones at 5 cents"

BO|LERMAkERs' STRIKE ID END
 ON MONDAY

SAN FRANSISCO, Oct. 1.-The strike of the boiler makers and ship filters at the Union Iron Works will probably come to an end on Monday. This announcement followed a con- ference called by the mayor between representatives of the strikers and On ficials of the company.
 The position of the strikers was greatly weakened by the refusal of boilermakers and ship filters employ ed at other plants to poin in gen eral strike. The Union Iron Works officials are disposed to make eonces- sons to their men on account of the immense amount of work on hand and the pendency of other orders. So in view of all the facts the mayor feels ja.tified in stating that the strike will be settled no later than Monday.

 AAlong an eight mile front the Aus trians have been invariably defeat ed and forced to retreat to other po- sitions The Italian hold securely all the former Austrian encroachments on this long front and are crowding the enemy at all points.
 Experts declare that the Austrian defense is showing increasing signs of weakness which contrasts strongly with the increasing strength of the Italian offensive and the opinion pre- vails that Austria is soon to receive n blow that will stagger her and cause her to summon every resource at her command.

 BERLIN, oct. 14.-MilitarN critics have been freely discussing the recent operations on the Somme and against Russia in the public prints and agree that the entente allies suffered terrific losses without any gain or advantage worth noting and without infiictne any proportionate loss on the Teuton- ic allies.
 These critics assert that the result of three months fighting on the Som me front has been the practical anni- hilation of the allied British and French army of one million, eight hun dred thousand men. It is because this great host of men has been slaught- cred in vain attempts to break the German line on this sector that the allied pressure has not been so strong Tor the past fortnight and the fighting has been for the most part by long
