Although on the surface a nation wide railroad strike was nearer tonight than it ever had been, confidence was expressed in official quarters that the steps under contemplation would have the effect of preventing the walkout. The president, realizing the disaster which would come to the country if the railroads are tied up, was said to be determined to prevent a strike at any cost. In his conferences with ex- ecutives he strongly urged that they change their hitherto unyielding at- titude and when he saw the employees he declared that all suggestions from the executives should be given most careful consideration.
 Final arrangements for the appear ance of the president before congress were not completed tonight but he discussed the question fully with the democratic steering committee of the senate and they agree with him that he should address joint session. The time of his appearance depends largely upon further conferences to- | morrow with the executives and the employees.
 At today's conference the railroad presidents did not formally present the statement agreed on by them last Fri | day night, which amounted to a flat refusal of his plan of settlement. This i statement has been signed by all the executives, but it's presentation was | withheld in the interest of peace. Pres
 ident Wilson was informed verbally of | it's terms, however.
 Throughout the day there appeared
 to be some possibility that an agree
 ment might be reached on plan l which would include concession of the

 When the railway strike situation became threatening, General Funston recommended that the whole movement be held up as the supply difficulty, fin case of rail tie-up, would be com plicated by the addition of 25,000 men to his command
 The department now has decided that the strike situation may continue unchanged for some time. The of ficers are anxious to complete the divisional organization on the border in order that full advantage may be taken of the opportunity to train a large number of men.

VIENNA, Aug. 2S. (Via London)- The first clashes between troops of Ru- mania and the central powers occurred last night in several western and east ern frontier mountain passes of Hun gary, says an official statement given out here today. The Rumanian at tacks are described as "treacherous."

Taking out insurance after the bon
fire in the garages is the modern paral-
lei to the infirm parable Of the man
who went to the locksmith after
thieves had visited his stables. And yet
il is being re-enacted every day.
Whenever shiny new car is sacri-
iced TO the flames, its owner is quick
to attribute the disaster to anything
under the sun but his own careless
ness. Backfiring is one of his favorite
plants. And yet the New York bu-
reau OF fire investigation has records
which show that rs per cent of all
garage fires are caused by the care
less exposure OF fire to gasoline
That magic fluid which has quick
rened transit and befriended mankind
is quick TO resent an insult. The man
who deliberately smokes in a garage
or in a place where gasoline is kept
is guilty OF the next thing to arson.
When you drive into public garage
the first sign that greets you reads
something like this 1--WE are not re-
sponsible for loss from fire" So If
you value your car, It is up to you to
find out how the garage man handles
his business. II his floor is strewn
with oily waste, IL there are pools of
oil and gasoline on the floor. If he
greets you with pipe in his mouth,
drop into a reverse and back out. For |
gasoline is treacherous. At times IL is
possible TO wave a flaming match |
above an open tank with impunity; |
again, explosives have occurred where
gasoline vapor was carried In the air
"a distance OF several feet from the
flame itself.
Never allow anyone to light pipe,
cigar or cigarette in the garage Make
that apply to your best friend as we'll
as TO yourself and employees.
BY all means see that an efficient
drainage system is installed, so that
the floor will be kept free from pools
of oil drippings and gasoline
Use nothing but electric lights If
other lamps are used on the car see
that they are put out before driving
into the garage.
If fire should actually break out, |
first of all keep your head and get |
busy with the eXtinguisher.
Never let you policy lapse.
