From the first Wilson has been In.
sistent on the eight-hour day. but the
proposition communicated to the rail-
road executives today promises them
all the time necessary to allow n thor
ough investigation OF the short day
operation. The president has been
willing--and in this. II is learned to-
day, he has been supported BY the
railroad employes-to let all details
Of the dispute with the exception Of
the eight-hour day. be left to arbi-
tration. Thus far, however. the roads
have not acceded to this, or any other
Of a score OF suggestions submitted
to them.
Thus, It appears probable. accord
ing to those in Immediate touch with
the negotiations. that the railroads
will not yield to today's suggestion.
President Wilson has determined
II negotiations fail to recommend tn =
passage by this congress OF the fol-
lowing measures:
A law similar to the Canadian dis
putes act, which averts all strikes
and lockouts for one year, pending
the investigation by commission OF
all details incident to the dispute.
An eight-hour law for railroad en-
ployes-probably an amendment to
the present 16-hour law-with tea
lures covering matters OF overtime
and other collateral details.
1t was learned today the president
feels keenly disappointed that the two
sides Of the pending dispute have
been in the city more than two weeks
and within a few blocks OF each other
and that there have been no confer
ences between the railroads and tho
brotherhoods in an effort to assist
him in reaching some satisfactor'
plan Of settlement.
President Wilson, from the first

to pass on any fair proposition

other, in an effort to bring them to.

position has been made.

As the visiting business men from
San Francisco looked over Grants
Pass and its immediate vicinity as
fully as their brief stay Saturday
morning would permit, the thought
oftenest expressed by them was re-
garding the irrigation situation. They
wondered that the crystal flood OF
the Rogue was permitted to flow on
ward to the sea while the fertile acres
that bordered the banks failed OF
their full production for lack Of the
lifegiving fluid. That is the thing
that most impresses the stranger. II
is the thing that must be solved be-
fore the Rogue valley can come into
its full possibilities.

NEW PROPOSAL TO
RAILWAY HEADS

Washington, Aug. 2S.-President
Wilson today presented a new pro-
posal to the railroads Of the country
by which he hopes to avert the threat
ened final break between the roads
and the railroad brotherhoods and
the inevitable Industrial crisis that
would follow.
It was this new plan OF the presi-
dents, 1t became known this after
noon, that resulted in deferring the
conference with the railroad presi-
dents scheduled for 10 o'clock at the
White House. It was likely to defer
this conference again beyond the hour
OF 2:30, the new time set, 1t was in
ydicated. 1t has become apparent that
the president did not intend to hear
the so-called final terms" OF the
railway heads while he considered
there was a possibility Of obtaining
radical changes in the terms.
If the present effort fails, the pre-.
sident will appeal to congress and, II
possible, secure the passage Of two
laws that will delay and possibly
avert the threatened strike and pre-.
vent recurrence OF such situation
President Wilson still stands pal
on his demand for concession by the
railroads OF the principle OF the eight.

would continue to dictate Roumania's q
attitude, Roumania's limitation OF
her declaration OF war to Austro-
Hungary Is a bold bid to Bulgaria TO
remain passive before Roumania's
territorial ambitions,
In effect, II Is an intlmation to the
Bulgars that Roumania will not In
terfere with Bulgarian designs
against Serbia II the Bulgars do not
hamper Roumania's desire TO con-
ouer the Hungarian province OF Tran
sylvania.
The central empires will bring
strong pressure to bear on Bulgaria
to reject this proposal, but there Is q
chance that the Bulgars viii play
their hand cautiously,
There Is no present possibility that
Roumania's entrance Into the war
will open the Dardanelles and permit
Russian grain to relieve the world
scarcity Of foodstuffs,
The Roumanians win not venture
upon roundabout campaign against
Turkey. and even though Turkey de-
clares war against Roumania the lat
ter's attitude must be defensive
one against the Moslems.
It Is not probable that Roumania
for the present will engage In major
offensive anywhere except against
Pennsylvania. There Is a large Rou-
manian population In Transylvania
and by directing all efforts In this
direction the Roumanian campaign
will gather impetus through the en-
thusiasm OF racial rescue work,
The chief advantage OF Roumania's $
entrance will go to Russia, The
principal victim will be Hungary,

peace by the Hungarian government

TIDE Of WAR IS
THOUGHT TURNING

New York, Aug. 28.-Roumanlas
entrance into the European conflict
emphasizes as It's most significant
fact the judgment Of the Bucharest
government that the tide OF the war
is turning, at least in the eastern
area.
Roumania has waited with unusual
patience for two years before decid-
ing the central empires can not gain
a victory in the Balkans; and the in
formation in possession OF Bucharest
authorities must now be fairly con-
elusive, or the old policy OF caution

RoUMANIA'S WAR DECLARATION.
Roumania's entrance into the great
European conflict is prompted by a
hope that in the readjustment that is
to follow the elimination OF the war
she may annex territory to the north.
She especially desires the Austrian
provinces of Transylvania and Buko-
vina, each Of which is partially in
habited by Roumanians. It is prob
able that King Ferdinand felt the
time was ripe, and his taking up the
gage Of battle would indicate belief
upon the part of Roumania that the
end Of the war was approaching
Recently a United Press CORES
pondent obtained facts concerning the
military strength Of the Roumanian
government. showing that the latest
entrant into the war will bring much
support to the allies, besides opening
the way for the Russians to make a
direct attack against the Austrians on
the way to Vienna.
Roumania's entrance into the war
places thoroughly drilled and equip
ped army OF nearly 100000 men
alongside the allies. OF the actual
fighting value of the modern .Rou-
manian army nothing definite can yet
be told, as it has never been put to
a test.
During the two recent Balkan wars
Roumania, Of all the Balkan states,
alone kept out Of the struggle. The
organization and equipment Of the
Roumanian army has been praised by
many experts. Roumania's military
service is obligatory on all able
bodied men between 21 and 46 years
of age. This gives the country 50,-
900 new soldiers year and enables
Roumania, out of population Of T.
10000, to muster an army Of over
half million.
= Although Roumanian youths liable
for military service do not begin duty
until they are 21, as a matter OF fact
they are at the disposal Of the min.
lister Of war after their nineteenth
year From the time they are 1s
until they are 21 they are Obliged
to participate in target and gymnastit
drills every Sunday from April t.
November 80.
During the first seven years o.
military service the men belong Il
the active army. They then pass Il
the reserves, where they serve for /.
years, finally passing into the militii
for the remainder of their servic,
until they are 46. The militia is sup
posed to be liable for service only II
maintaining internal order in tn
country and in guarding the railroad
during war time.
This organization gives Roumanii
total of 250, 900 first line troops an,
about 100000 reserves. The regula
standing army consists OF 5000 OF
ficers, 1000 military students, 100,
600 troops, 5000 horses, 600 can
non and 200 machine guns. Part o
the army has been modified for som
time near the Hungarian frontier.
The infantry organization Of frs
line troops consists OF 40 regiments
composed Of three battalions OF fou
companies each per regiment.
Each regiment has also an extr
company at a depot, together witt
one section OF two machine gun com
panies. There are also eighty batta
lions OF reserves and twelve com
panies OF gendarmes.
The cavalry consists OF 10 regl
ments Of Red Hussars and 10 req

Using Ferns as PteserxatIxe.

II was discovered some years ago
that the leaves of the fern plant.
which grows almost everywhere, are
excellent Preservatives for packing
food. fruit and even meat. In the Isle
of Man fresh herrings are packed in
ferns and arrive on the market in as
fresh condition as when they were
shipped. A number OF experiments
have demonstrated that potatoes
packed In ferns keep many months
longer than those packed in straw. In
fact, potatoes packed In fern leaves
are as fresh in the springtime as when
they were first dug ID the winter.
