The conference between ;he Pres ident and Judge Chambers was the only formal meeting of the day in connection with the situation. There were no White House conferences with the managers and employees. pending the arrival of the brother hoods general committee from New York and the drawing up Oi a definite plan by Mir. Wilson. The managers spent the day in informal meetings and conferences at their hotel. The employees. representatives rested at their hotel. saying they had nothing to confer about among themselves.
 The President is depending largely on public opinion to force settle ment. Should the present method 5f procedure seem about tO fail. it was probable today he would take the pup lie into his confidence
 Discussion Of the creation of a fed eral commission to investigate the railroad situation centered largely to- day around the contention of railway officials that such commission would be able 60 get at all the facts and be able to prevent a recurrence of the present crisis The President has taken up his both sides sugges- tiOns as 10 the best way to make up commission which would be satiS- factory. The pricipal reasons ad- vanced by the managers in insisting on arbitration were their belief that the whole principle of arbitration is at stake. and points made during the consideration of their recent petitions for five per cent increase in freight rates. The interstate commerce com mission intimated at that time that when railroad officials gave wage in crease of their own accord and with out arbitration they must bear the consequences.
 During the day the managers com mittee had experts at work compiling data on the cost Co the railroads Of an eight hour day. This data they planned to present to the President to uphold their position. It was anti cipated that the managers would not give a decision on the Presidents plan until after they hold a meeting following their conference with MT. Wilson.
 All day petitions from unorganized railroad workers protesting against general strike continued to arrive at the White House The President also received letters and telegrams from many individuals and organiza- tiOns urging him to 60 his utmost to prevent a tie-up of the country's rail roads.

 PARIS, Aug. 16.-(1O:5O p. m.)- The allied forces on the Saloniki front have captured the railroad station at Dorian and four villages at other points on the front. according to an official statement issued by theFrench war office tonight. The statement covers continuous fighting extending iron. August l to the present time.
 LONDON, Aug. 16.-The French and British, striking with terrific force in three directions on the SOmme front have stormed nearly three miles of German trenches, driving forward at points to a depth of 300 to 500 yards.
 The most important gains were made by the British and French troops striking north from the point where the allied lines meet Mature pas and Clery. two of the most i'm portant points held by the Germans in this section, have been flanked on both sides, according to the official statement issued by Paris. The road also has been reached between Mature pas and Guillemont. the latter town being the immediate objective of he British advance if maintained brings the allies directly in front of the large railway town of Combles.
 South of tEe Somme the French storned German trenches over a length of about three quarters of a mile. driving forward in southerly di Icction from Bellow-en- Santerre. Paris reports that a considerable number Of prisoners were taken in these operations.
 For the first time in many days no important action is reported from the Russian front and the same dearth of news prevails in regard to the Italian operations. The most interesting item of news regarding the Italian advance against Triest is contained in news dispatch from Milan which says that German troops are to be employed in the defense of the big Austrian port If corroborated this means that Italy and Germany at last will enter an active state of war Once again Der lin reports fighting at Dorian on the Saloniki front, but Paris and London maintain their silence in regard to the situation in this locality.
 Russan captures of prisoners from June 1 to August F are officially re- ported by Petrograd to have totalled more than 35S,OOO men.

firoproot construction throughout
and are connected by wide area
way which is bridgcd over each floor
one of the notable features in the
new building is "A cistern with ca
pacity of three hundred barrels, which
has special filtration system. The
water which will be collected in it is
designed for drinking purposes, and
for very fine wet cleaning For the
''reater comfort of the employees the
floors have been topped with "A patent
asbestos substance, which is far softer
than wood and much warmer, al
though as tough as concrete. The
corners are all rounded with a view
To greater sanitation, and to this end
many large windows are also used
A vault built of reinforced concrete
has been provided for the safe stor-
age of valuable furs. A large airy
basement will he given over to the
employees to be used for shower baths.
An employees restroom on the third
floor has also been arranged for.
The other building, which contains
the cleaning apparatus and the power
plant for running same, is modern in
every respect, containing as II does
ten machines for the purpose of dry
cleaning, steam cleaning and drying
all sorts of fabrics. This firm has in

champion to hand him an orange.
Welsh, though a slight favorite
over White, presents a different
betting proposition. Like Kill
