front, the Bulgars could maintain a
very powerful resistance.
1t would be contributing directly
to the strategic advantage of the Bull
garians, in fact, If the allies we're to
begin their Balkan offensive before
Roumania had been won from her
present neutrality. Such policy
would be duplicating the uncoordin-
ated eastern and western offensives
of the allies earlier in the war, that
SO immensely assisted the Germans.
The allies are now trying to prove
to the hesitant Roumaniais that all
is ready for an allied advance in the
Balkans whenever Roumania gives
the signal of her own participation.
The purpose of landing Russian and
italian contingents at Sa.onika is to
assure the Bucharest government that
the allies are united as to the policy
in the Balkans If Roumania s.;ll
hesitates, 1T is possible minor opera
tions will be continued by the allies
along the Greek border, in order to
satisfy Roumanian public opinion still
further; but If Bucharest positively
declines to enter the struggle, there
is little possibility of an allied move
into Serbia and on to Sofia at this
time

raided the east coast shortly before

ers Of the past few weeks are believed
to have been reconnoitering flights
for the purpose of testing out Eng
lands new air defenses. in prepara-
ton for great aerial attack.
For the last fortnight word has
been coming from Germany of the
construction Of huge Zeppelins, cap
abe of carrying several tons Of explo-
sives. The German correspondents
limited that new sky dreadnoughts
would move against London and
Paris during September and October
when weather conditions are apt to
be favorable. Zeppelins found the
Der OF last year that they made five
raids on England in that month alone.
The first authentic information con-
cerning the new Zeppelin giants was
given to England by Baron Montagu,
former vice chairman OF the joint
naval and military board in speech
last night. The new dirigibles are
7SO feet long, can travel 80 miles an
hour and can ascend three miles to
escape shells from anti-afrcraft guns.
Each can carry i've tons of explo-
sives.

Laws Of Supply and Demand
Control Prices Which
Will Not Always
Be High.
THIS WAS A BAD SEASON
Present Abnormal Charges VIII Ad-
Just Themselves by Another
Year Is Expert's
Opinion.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-The SUI
perhigh cost of living Is not here to
stay. is purely commercial and readily
traceable to the basic laws of supply
and demand. This was the statement
today of Leon M. Estabrook, chief of
the United States bureau of crop esti-
mates, authority on food supplies.
While the prices of food should be
properly expected to advance com.
mensurate with the rising prosperity
Of the country to keep pace with the
general rise of prices on all commodi.
ties, the present abnormal prices on
many food staples will adjust them
selves with another season, Estabrook
said.
Soaring prices fgrain, he said, are
directly due to the big falling off In
production in almost every class, TAX
en- in with the bumper outputs Of the
past two years.
The sudden decrease in production
this year has naturally sent prices sky
ward.
The jump in the price Of beans from
five cents last year to eleven cents
now, Is another example, Bstabrook
said, Of increased demand-from the
armies In Europe and on the Mexican
border-with curtailed production, due
to unfavorable weather conditions.
Prices on vegetables are purely sea-
sonable and local, he said.
The season of 1915, unusually cool,
witnessed bumper vegetable crop in
nearly all sections. The presnt season
has been anything but favorable for
truck gardners. Hence higher prices.
The constantly rising prices result,
Estabrook said, from a gradual fall.
ing off in production, while the de.
mand has mounted steadily during the
past ten years" Intimation that a
half dozen large packing houses which
exert practical monopoly, have con-
trolled prices on cattle on the hoof to
such an extent that the cattle industry
has proven improbable, was made by
Estabrook.
Cattle raisers,, he said. have for the
past ten years complained that Iey
were unable to obtain sufficient money
from the packing houses to make the
business moderately lucrative. The
surest confirmation Of price fixing in
Estabrook's opinion, is the fact that
ranchers are dropping cattle raising
In increasing large numbers until to
day there are fewer cattle on the
hoof than there were in 1910-siS
wears ago.

OGDEN, Utah, Aug. 24.-RepubH-
can Presidential Candidate Charles
e. Hughes today headed into Utah,
the state which tour years ago gave
William H. Taft one of hds two re-
publican ma1orites. 1t was more or
less a day of rest fog the nominee, so
he slept late.
Mrs. Hughes having put her foot
down hard on any extra strenuosity,
rather quiet program was arranged
for her husband dn this, the first Utah
city he has visited. He made one
important speech here this morning
and was scheduled to deliver a night
speech at Salt Lake City.
In his morning speech here, Gov
ernor Hughes enlarged on his dis
sertation regarding the democratic
tariff policy, with special reference to
the sugar tariff. Utah as a beet sugar
producing state and the republican
nominees thrust at the democrats
was received with enthusiasm.
1t was announced today that Gov
ernor Hughes will cut his stay at
Estes Park, Colorado, to three days,
shortening his schedule by one day
all along the line. This step was
taken in order that the candidate will
not be in kentucky at the same time
President Wilson Is there. The
change in itinerary will keep Hughes
in st. Louis for two days-Septe ptember
2 and 3.
The schedule for Hughes Maine
trip has not been completed but 1t
is expected the candidate will make
at least two speeches-at Bangor
and Notwithstanding New York
about September 10. Then Hughes
hopes to- rest for a couple of days
before starting out again on a tour
OF New York state. He may speak
at Syracuse OF Albany before re-
turning to New York from his pres
ent tour, leaving other upstate points
for his second tour.
The tariff, federal employers l1abil-
ity law, workunen's compensation
law and his own labor record We're
discussed by Hughes in his address
at Reno last night. HE discoursed on
the necessity of cooperation between
capital and labor and declared con
tented America will be successful
America" He also declared in favor
of a world court" to settle contu'o-
versies among nations, after the pres
ent war in Europe ends.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-The rail.
roads are yielding to President VIII
sons fnsistence on an eight hour day.
Today found the railway presidents
and managers here to settle the dis.
pute with the railway brotherhoods
and to avert the threatened strike.
practically agreed that there is no
other way to meet the crisis. But
they are struggling desperately with
the problem pf providing an eight
hour day that is not snch an eight
hour day as the railway workers de-
mand
Effort Of the railway presidents
was concentrated today on the task
Of putting the railroad brotherhood
on the defensive To this end they
were declaring generally their will
ingness to grant the eight hour day
while showing that the concession
Tor which the brotherhoods are hold.
ing out goes far beyond that. Several
thousand words OF press statements
directed to this purpose were releas-
ed last night and today.
They will concede, the railway pres
1dents say:
An eight hbnr day for eight hours
pay at present rates.
Overtime at present rates or arbf-
trations of the overtime question.
They say they will not concede an
eight hour day for which they must
pay the same wage they now pay for
ten hour day. It would mean an
increase OF 21 per cent In wages to
the brotherhood members, the presi-
dents say.
The employees haven't demanded a
day of eight hours work" said Julius
CEutchnitt, Of the Southern Pacific.
They would work just as many hours
as at present. but at much higher cost
to the roads"
II the brotherhoods are willing to
work eight hours for days pay, this
controversy could be settled in twen-
y minutes" said e. p. Ripley Of the
santa Fe. Let them declare for
that and III take off my coat and put
In my best licks for them"
President johnson of the Norfolk
and Western. issued q statement con-
tanning similar argument. The upshot
OF these declarations was that admis-
sion of the eight hour day is to be
accepted in some form. They want 1t
to be in some form that will not cost
them the enormous sum which they
say granting the brotherhoods' de-
mands would cost
