terattacll south OF Estrees failed
Several violent German counterat-
tacks on the trenches taken by tho
French yesterday on the right bank
of the Meusc, the statement adds. were
everywhere stopped by the screen OF
infantry fire.
In this region. which is north of tho
fortress of Nerdun, the French made
progress to the south of Fleury. Since
the first OF August the French have
captured LOO Germans on this bank.
On the left bank of the Mouse an
intense artillery duel continues. but
there has been no infantry action.
In the Somme sector Sergeant Chai-
nat. of the French aviation corps

which makes a total of eight brought
down by this aviator.
Tho statement follows:
North OF the River Sommc we re-
pulsed last night several German as

Monacu Farm had to be relieved as a
result of the heavy losses they have
sustained since July so.
South OF the River Somme a coun-
terattack upon our positions located
south of Estrecs failed under our
fire.
"On the right bank Of the River
Meuse the Germans delivered several
violent counterattacks upon the

Fleury. They have reached the imme-
diate surroundings OF this village and
have even gone beyond the railroad
station. The number of prisoners made

WORKING TO AVERT

Interested Agencies Of Federal

WILSON MAY MAKE APPEAL

Day Whether Hearings
Will Be Held.

WASHINGTON. August 3.-Yhile the
strike vote of 100000 railroad en-
ployces was being counted in New York
mcnt affected by the situation was pre-
pairing to-day to do all possible to
avert 81 final break between the rail-
roads and the workmcn
William L. Chambers commissioner
Of the board Of mediation and concilia-
tion. was in communication with Prcsi-
dent Wilson during the day, though
board officials pointed out that nothing
of formal character could he done
until the railroad managers and repre-
scntativcs Of the employees resumed
negotiations next week.
\ call was issued for a meeting to-
morrow morning of the Senate Com
mcrcc Committee to decide whether
hearings will be held on Chairman
Newlands's resolution proposing an in
vestigation by the Interstate Commerce
Commission of hours Of labor on. rail-
roads, and urging the employers and
employees to postpone a settlement of
their difficulties until n report can be
made.
Hours of labor constitute one of the
chief causes of threatened strike.
TO IMPRESS on CONGRESS
NECESSITY OF STEPS
The Chamber of Commerce Of the
United States, which yesterday ap-
pealed to President Wilson for Federal
intervention to prevent "A strike, is
considering calling a conference of
representatives of commercial organi-
cations to impress on Congress the
necessity of taking some immediate
step
The President late to-day designated
G. w. w. Hanger. assistant commits
sioner of the board of mediation and
conciliation. as Il member of the board.
The law stipulates that there shall be
three members. but Judge Martin \.
Knapp. chairman. and William L.
Chambers, commissioner. have served
alone since the board was formed.
Judge Knapp and Mr.. Chambers
asked the President to increase the
membership, because the work Of the
board already has become great. and
the threatened railroad strike has
added to the necessity of having an
other member.
Administration officials said every
thing possible would be done to avert
strike. If all other steps fail, it is
probable President Wilson will make
personal appeal to the railroad man
ayers and the employees. urging them
to effect settlement in the interest
OF the public. The question may he
discussed ut to-morrow's Cabinet
meeting.

SELECTED TO REPRESENT
DE FACTO COVER NMEST

MENICO CITY, August at was
officially announced at the Mexican
Foreign Office to-day that Luis Cabrera.
Ygnacio Bonillas and Alberto PAM have
been selected AS the commissioners to
negotiate with the United states COM
missioners regarding the questions at
issue between Mexico and the United
states. The commission will be headed
by Senior Cabrera, and Juan Is. Rogo
will act as secretary.
Although the names of the Mexican
commission were announced. the text
of General Carranza's acceptance of the
conference has not been made public
here. IT is understood that the Mex
lean ambassador at Washington will
complete the arrangements with ref
erence TO time and place, and it is said
that any place satisfactory to the
United States will be satisfactory to
Mexico.
Senior Bonillas already is en- route to
New York. and the departure of Senors
Cabrera and PAM will not be delayed
after the announcement that arrange
ments have been completed. Both of
them to-day declined TO discuss the
probable procedure of the conference.
No indication is given by the Foreign
Office or the first chief as to the reply
to the suggestion of the United States
on other questions than the withdrawal
of the troops and a protocol covering
the border, but the general impression
among persons In close touch with gov
ernmental affairs here is that Mexico
VIII insist that these questions be
settled before other issues are dis
cussed.
