Infantry Not Engaged on
Many of Battle Fronts.
Teutons Retiring.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, Aug. 31.-The artillery is
active in all the battle fronts, but
only an Pennsylvania oumania Dor
der has the infantry been engaged to
any extent. Austrians and Italians
have yet to renew the desperate fight
ing of a few weeks ago.
Along the whole line of the lower
Carpathians, the Roumanian armies
are reported attacking the Austro-
Germans. The defenders are said to
have retired to the second fortified
line.
Northwest of Krcndstadt the Aus
tro-Germans have taken new posi-
tons. The Roumanian attacks east
of the Iron Gate were repulsed, Wen
ma says.
Russian troops are reported march
ing through Roumania, and it Is an
nounced. that the Russian fleet has
arrived at Constanza, the principal
Roumanian Black Sea port Rustchuk,
Bulgaria, on the Danube, a report to
Paris says, has been occupied by the
Roumanians.
Flight Report Not Confirmed.
No confirmation of the reported
flight of King Constantine from
Athens to Larissa has been received
In official circles here, which considers
it highly improbable.
The report that the king of Greece
had fled from the capital and had
taken refuge with German escort of
300 Uhlans at Larissa was forwarded
from salonfki by Ward Price, the of
fetal British press representative in
Greece, under date of Tuesday eve
ming. King Constantine, according to
dispatches from Athens, underwent a
surgical operation few days ago and
has since been suffering from the eff
fects of it.

From the Border.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Aug. 31.-National
guard regiments and coast artillery
companies en- route from the border
have been ordered equipped with ex-
ira supplies for the journey against
the possibility of a strike.
Secretary Baker and other officials
refused to discuss the reports that
the fifteen thousand guardsmen or

precaution against strike violence. 1t
is known, however, that the states
in which the troops return are those
where only small portion of the
guard has been called into the federal

Approximately 10000 troops are

Washington, Aug. 31.-Retaliatory
legislation striking at the commerce
of the allies m support of diplomatic
protests against interference with
American trade have been decided

The provisions written in the ship

Washington, Aug. 31.-Railroad
brotherhood officials late today,
through A. B. Garretson, agreed to
accept as basis for calling off the
strike, the Adamson compromise
eight-hour day bill, already approved
by President Wilson and the house
leaders. The measure was introduced
Immediately by Representative Adam
fcn with view to having it passed
and sent to the senate tomorrow.
4 House leaders agreed upon a rule
providing for vote on the bin not
later than 4:30 o'clock tomorrow aft
ernoon.
Argue Nine Hours.
representatives of the railroads, of
the trainmen's brotherhoods and of
the shippers organizations, argued
for nine hours before the senate in
terstate commerce committee on leg
islation proposed to avert the threat
ened strike, to recompense the roads
for any financial burden, and perfect
a machinery to make impossible in
future another crisis like the present.
The committee tonight worked late
on the bin to be presented to the
senate tomorrow.
Dramatic Scene.
A dramatic scene occurred at the
hearing when A. B. Garretson
spokesman for the trainmen and pres
ident of the Order of Railway Con-
ductors, admitted he had the power to
postpone the date of the strike of
his organization, but not of the other
organizations. He said, when asked
about this by the president, he had
found his Gethsemane, but he knew
if he put off the strike the men would
think him a traitor. While talking
tears came to his eyes, his voice
choked, and he asked, "Can I face
1it?" He later left the committee
room.
Garretson Argues.
- "The success of any labor organiza-
4 tions hes, to an extent, in its mill
otancy," Garretson said. "We are in
the grip of power greater than we,
and it is unfortunate that this situa-
ton has arisen, but | believe if 3
settlement can be affected by con-
gress, even though we are opposed to
legislative settlements, we are willing
to waive the age-old tradition against
it. Such settlement in this contro-
versy will be desirable in the circum-
stances.
"As an ethical proposition" he said
"there is no more reason why a mar
should be worked more than eight
hours than there is that he should be
worked twenty-four. In the applica-
ton of principle, different situation
arises.
To-day" he continued, thousands
of men throughout this country are

Sinking Fishing Smack Was

Telling a tale almost unbelievable,
surviving members of the crew of the

Chief Mate Hathaway, who, on &C

Mexico. From that point, aboard an
English steamship, they were sent by
the French consul, who was looking
after American interests, to Port Ar
thur, Texas, and by rail they came on
to Pensacola, reaching here on the
Thursday afternoon belated train.
At the depot they were met by Capt.
John Holm, secretary of the local
fishermen's union, who extended to
the fishermen in trouble all the aid
possible.
SuPbdAA LOSt EdTiy.
Capt. Gundersen disappeared on the
morning of the 18th of August, they
reported, in reply to queries. The
storm came bowling out of the Yucca
tan channel at almost unbelievable We
locity, and the seas carried from the
deck every movable article.
"The last order that the skipper
gave US" said one Of them, "was that

at the wheel then, and that order was
the last spoken, or at least the last
words we heard from him. The seas
were then breaking over us, and lust

great sea swept the vessel. AS she
came up the skipper, who had been at
the wheel, was nowhere to be seen.
He had been washed away so sudden
ly that it was a minute or two after
he went into the sea before his place
was filed.
1--WE could see nothing of him in
the water in a minutes after he had
been swept from the deck. The men
thought they caught sight of him one
time and would throw something for
him to grasp, but the object they saw
disappeared. Everything had been
swept from the deck, and even had
there been a chance to fling a life
buoy to him, there would likely have
been very little chance for him to get

Taken For Submarine.
The French steamer was sighted
twenty-six hours after the storm
broke in all its fury, it was reported.
The big vessel acted queerly, it ap-
peared, and it was with difficulty
that the fishermen signalled the
Frenchmen to return and pick them
up@ By that time the smack, which
had long ago suffered the loss of
spars and rigging, was fast filing
with water, and when the steamer was
sighted, the Cooney was low in the
water, almost awash. After the men
had been taken aboard the French
