CONFERENCES ARE

Burden Preventing National Strike
Appeared Swung From Mana

How to Feed 100000 Persons in

REPORTED MANAGERS HAVE
AGREED TO 8-HOUR DAY
(By United Press)

Washington. Aug. 15.-The bur-
den preventing the national railway
strike this afternoon appeared to
have swung from the managers to
the employees. During the managers
conference it was understood that the
managers had agreed to the basis of
the principles of an eight-hour day,
but demand that the question of over
time pay be subjected to a more far
reaching investigation.
Arrive at Nine.
Railway managers and representa-
tives of the brotherhoods arrived at
the White House at nine O'Clock this
morning to resume their conferences.
Spokesman Elisha Lee carried small
portfolio. It is not known whether
or not. this contained proposition
the managers will make the presi-
dent upon which the differences
would be arbitrated.
President Determined.
1t is reported that President Will
son is determined to prevent the
strike if he must make personal ap-
peal to every railroad president and
employe.
How the 100000 persons living
in Greater New York will be fed in
the event of a railway strike is a
problem that is; being given consid-

Survey in New York.
Joseph J. Hartigan, secretary of
Mayor ,Mitchell's committee on food
supply, has proposed survey be made
of all sources of food supply, which
could be commandeered if the strike
is declared. With the city in the
grip of the infantile paralysis cpl
demic, city authorities are trying to
determine how the 2,225,000 quarts
Of milk the city consumes daily could
be brought to this city in the event
of a strike.
Eight-Day Supply.
Meat packers estimated that the
New York supply of meat would last
but eight days if the railways were
tied up. More than 100000 tour
lists are now in New York, it is esti-
mated. How these people could be
fed, to say nothing of their being un-
able to return to their homes and
places of business is also troubling
city officials.
AS New York produces practically
no foodstuffs, a strike which would
cut off the city from its food supply
would result in appalling conditions
in a short time, authorities said.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
With the British Army in the
Field, July 20.-(By maiD-If it's
possible to imagine dozens of heavy
thunder storms blended into one con-
tinuous roar, the shrieking and whin-
ing of tons of unseen steel and high
explosives, racing through the sky,
lightning flashes of bursting shells
continuously specking the horizon,
like a giant Fourth of July display.
then it's partly possible to visualize
the newest phase of war on the west
ern front.
Just Ugly Bloches.
The United Press correspondent
saw and heard all this today from a
high stretch of ground commanding
the scene of dozen Of the most ter
rible conflicts of the British drive.
Dotting the green hills and valleys
here and there were distinct dots of
brown, visible against the naked
skeletons of trees. These ugly
blotches of landscape short time
ago were pretty villages, each with
a church spire and red-topped houses
snuggled down between the rolling
hills. Today they were, mere ugly
blotches, mostly a pile of bricks that
resembled nothing.
Heavy Counter Attack.
From the vantage point observed
Vontal Maison, Bazentin le Grand,
La Boiselle, Nametz and small woods
which have figured prominently in
the communiques. Just beyond the
range of vision lay Longueval and
Delville wood, where at the moment,
the Germans were engaged in heavy
counter attack, which gave them back
a part of the wood and few houses
of the village. A British attack
soon reversed the situation. Fight
ing of this character has been a pc
culiarity of the British offensive. All

Northern F rance is One
Great Panorama Of War

captured points are strongly held.
Wherever the Germans concentrate
their reserves and carry out coun-
ter attack, any success they gain is
of short duration. A systematic
British advance makes it possible to
retaliate quickly, mostly in force.
News is Censored.
Precaution prevents the publica-
tion Of news relating to troops and
movements of troops, but it can be
said with safety that there is no
shortage of shells or men or guns be-
hind the British line.
From the viewpoint of the non
military observer, there is no short
age of anything. For miles along
the network of country roads we'll be-
hind the fighting lines, great masses
of men in khaki, most of them wear
ing the picturesque steel helmet, are
awaiting for their turn. Motor lor-
ries in great droves are also perform
ing their functions. Passing along
the roads, miles and miles to the rear
khaki is everywhere.
Are Taking Rest.
Peaceful little villages, which fate
has left SO near the ravages Of the
conflict, still untouched, are filled
with it. Every doorway shows a
Tommy" every courtyard shows a
group of Tommies. These men are
in billets. Many of them have had
their turn at fighting and are taking
a we'll earned rest.
Men, freshly arrived from England,
as can be seen from the neweness of
their uniforms, are also seen. The
veteran fighting Tommy is a trifle
more stained.
The roadsides are dotted with de-
tachments of newer contingents.
Schools of bombing and musketry are
scattered here and there. Northern
France is one great panorama Of
war.
