CONTINUE ALL DAY SERVICE
Old Dominion Railway Officials Say
They Have All The Men They
Need

Continued all-day service of cars
on both the Bluemont and Great Falls
divisions of the Washington and Old
Dominion Railway, with now and
then lapse in the schedule, was held
again yesterday in the face of the
persistent stand taken by $50 for
mer employees of the line to "stay
out" for better wages, better hours
and improved working conditions.
Between 6 o'clock in the morning
and 6 o'clock yesterday evening cars
ran on the Great Falls division on a
80 minute headway. Four passenger
trains ran each way on the Blue
mont division. This was an increase
on the schedule of the day previous.
Freight and milk train service was
normal.
Again last night no attempt was
made to have night service, nor will
this be resumed until more tangible
developments occur to establish what
relations the company is to have with
it's employees now on strike, company
officials say.
Company officials say they have
all the men they need to operate a
full service, and that some of the APP
plicants for jobs were men who had
been with the strikers, but had turned
over to the company's side.

Never Ending Slaughter at the Two
Hills-French Are Praised For
Their Bravery

London, May 20--Thousands upon
thousands Of fresh troops are being
bought to the front on both the
French and the German lines in the
long and bloody battle of Ferdun.
There is no longer any douot that
the losses on both sides have been the
greatest of any battle in this war
or in any other war in the worlds
history.
Many thousands Of dead have been
buried in long trenches behind the
lines, and thousands more have been
carried further back and inferred. a
correspondent returning from the
scene says the ruin and destruction
wrought by the biggest German guns
beggars description. The struggle Is
no nearer an end now than month
ago. While the Germans have made
gains and increased their hold upon
certain positions the French. on the
other hand, have strengthened their
inner lines of defenses.
Berlin, May 20,--Heavy losses arc
being suffered by the French at Yer
dun, despite the protection of their
earthworks, because Of the enormous
numbers Of troops they have concen-
tratcd within a comparatively small
area there. according to Il correspon-
dent at the Eertlun front.
French prisoners, say the cores
spondent, declare that the destruc-
ton wrought by the German artil-
lery is not only appalling among the
troops on the firing line. but also
among the reserves closely grouped
in territory which the German guns
are able to reach effectively.
f, The writer praises the bravery Of
the French soldiers, who defend
themselves with the utmost intrepid
ity and are continuously counter
attacking, and remarks on the nota-
bic lines of earthworks which they
have constructed, not only before the
battle, but even to a greater degree
during its progress.

POPE'S MESSAGE TO GERMANY
A Similar Message to That Sen
The United States

Washington, May 19-Conhdentlal
adyices received here from Berlin
tell of a message being sent to the
German government by the Vatican,
but il is described as being similar
to the one recently sent to Presl-
dent Wilson when the severance Of
diplomatic relations between the
United States and Germany appeared
imminent.
The message was presented as
expressing the hope that there would
be no breach of relations and offer
ing the good Offices of the Pope to
prevent one. Germany has since re-
piled to the Vatican, expressing APP
probation of the sentiments con-
tained in the note, and adding that
at this time the good Offices of the
Pope were not needed.
II is denied here that the message
to Berlin contained. any request for
an abandonment of ,.subma"i war
fare, and the opinion was expressed
in diplomatic quarters that no more
than one message had been sent.
Diplomats friendly to the Contra
Powers consider it probable that the
note referred to in the British Par
lament was the communication simi
lar in purport to that sent to Presi
dent Wilson.

Van Duzen was among the rescuers who were revived.
 Headed by D. J. Parker and l.. M. Jones of the United States Bureau of Mines, the third party of rescuers penetrated 200 feet into the wrecked tunnel from the crib end. Five men were with the two experts and even, equipped as they were with their gas helmets, they found difficulty in mak- ing their way so heavy was the gas.
 Delay Rescue Work
 Parker and Jones, after consulting with Water Commissioner Jaeger. who had made several trips into the tunnel and had made tests of the gas. decided that it was too risky to make an attempt to get at the twelve men still imprisoned.
 According to the federal investigat- ors the electric wiring in the tunnel was faulty. After they had entered the tunnel with the rescue party they ordered the electric power shut off They would not venture an opinion as to the cause of the explosion but most of those concerned w5th the disaster declare that one of the twelve work men probably jabbed his pick into 8 large pocket of gas. Others say that a crossed light wire may have caused the explosion.

Men Want Increase In Pay and Force
Congresmen and Senators
to Walk.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
WASHINGTON, March 6.-Senators
and congressman who don't own auto
mobiles are walking to work today. as
the result of a strike of street rail-
way motormen and conductors. The
motormen and conductors want 80
cents an hour, instead Of the 22k
and rs cents they now receive. They
want also a nine hour day with the
nine hours not scattered over more
than q twelve hour period.
Meanwhile, several senators and
congressman are preparing resolu-
tons and it is considered a probable
ity that several schemes of arbitra-
ton will be outlined in the measures
to be introduced today. There was
talk that investigation of the cost of
living in the district also will be
fastened by the mems claim that
they do not make q living wage.
Among the labor leaders who have
arrived to conduct the strike are
Mother" Jones and several officers of
the American Federation Of Labor.
Pathetic scenes were enacted
around the barns where many of the
employees wept as they refused to
leave their cars. The streets re-
sembled a picture history Of vehicles

automobiles of the late nineties,
bicycles, hastily converted takes and

normal they are until the pale face, weak

Especial to The Gate Cityl
CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia, March g.
The most important action taken at
the meeting Of the directors of the
Central association here today was
the accepting of hookuk's resignation
from the league and the voting in of
Fort Dodge to the vacant berth. Fort
Dodge had delegation at the meet
ing and made formal application for
the place.
Keokuk was represented by Steph-
en- Irwin, former president of the 1915
Keokuk club, and M. E. Justice, presi-
dent of the Central association.
The expected battle between Presi-
dent Justice OF the c. A., and Presi-
dent BURNER of the Waterloo club did
not come off. The session was a
rather tame one and nothing came of
the many newspaper threats that
have been circulated all over the
league recently.
