Attempt by Railways to Elimi- nate Mileage System, Re- wives Standing Order of Trsinrnen to Strike.
ADAMSCN LAW WILL BE
 FOUGHT BY RAILWAYS
Conference of the Opposing Forces Adjourns Without Agreement - Sensational Developments Expected.
(By Review Leased Wire)

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-Danqer
 cf a nation wide railroad strike,
 which was believed to have been
 aVerted by the passage of the
 Adamson eight hour law, has not
 entirely disappeared, ft developed
 here today When representatives
 of the railroads end the four
 brotherhoods comprising 100000
 agreement as to the proper appli-
 cati ,n of the law. The stumbling
 block, both sides admitted, was
 the existing mileage system of
 compensation.
 The announcement of the latest deadlock between the railway and their employees came at the conclu, sion of an all day conference between the national conference committee of the railways and the brotherhood chiefs. which had been arranged in September
 Meet and Disagree
 We met" said Elisha Lee, chair man of the railroad managers and the conference, for the purpose of ex- changing ideas on the application and operation of the Adamson law We failed to reach an agreement and We are not certain that another meeting will take place"
 May Still Call Strike
 Wm. G. Lee, president of the Broth erhood of Railroad Trainmen. spoke for the employees in the absence of A. B. Garretson of the Order of Railway Conductors. He declared in a state ment that in the event of evasion by the railroads of the Adamson law, summary action would be taken by the brotherhoods. He said that the strike order which was directly re- sponsible for the law, still was in ef- feet and the brotherhoods would not hesitate to enforce it if the occasion it.
 The brotherhoods asked for this said Mir Lee. "At the session we discussed the ap- plication of the law and found there was no basis upon which we could possibly agree. Another setback, be- sides the elimination of the mileage system, was the determination of the railways to continue their fight on the constitutionality of the law
 Mileage Scrap at Issue
 The mileage system of compen- sation, the basis of which is the number of miles traversed by a train crew and not the actual hours of work, is the crux of the new problem, that, railroad au- thOrity said, may result in the de- velopment of situation similar to the one which brought into be- ing the Adamson law.
 Frankly" said Chairman Lee, of the conference committee, in discuss fact that neither the railroads nor the men know definitely how the law should be applied.
 We have our own ideas as to how the law shall be applied-if at all as suits to test it's validity are now while the brotherhoOds have their own ideas"
 Outcome in Doubt
 Chairman Lee added that he could not predict the probable outcome of the difficulty He said. however. that

Foreign Affairs Discussed.

Foreign AHairS Discussed.
 Through an interview with Secretary Lansing the President got in touch with pressing foreign problems, in cludilg the submarine, Mexican and British blockade issues, and in a talk with Henry Morgenthau. chairman of the finance committee of the Demo |eratic national committee. he discussed problems of campaign expenditures
 Secretary Lansing reviewed details with Mir. Wilson today. but said no i'm mediate action was in prospect in re- gard to the submarine issue. It was stated definitely by officials in the con- fdence of the President today that his reelection will mean no radical change in any of his policies, although as soon as the war is over the President will recommend revision of the tariff if he feels it is justified by the facts.
 Withdrawal Conditional.
 If a satisfactory agreement can be reached for the protection of the American border and American lives and property in Mexico. it is be- lieved that the United States troops in Mexico will be withdrawn soon. al though a strong force will be kept along the border.
 Carranza Irritates Wilson.
 The confused situation in the state of Chihuahua and the uncOmpromising attitude of General Carranza on some points. however. are said to cause the President to view the situation with anything but composure.
 Plans More Legislation.
 On domestic questions Mir. Wilson has told his friends that as soon as Congress convenes he will press for the remainder of the legislative pro gram already outlined. He has begun the preparation of his message to Con gress. Because of the probability that the next house will be Republican he will seek to get through as much gen eral legislation as possible during the short session ending March f.
 Cabinet May Change.
 The President is said to desire no general changes in the personnel of his It was stated that no cabinet officers would be asked to re- sign now or next March. although it is possible that one or more may wish to retire for personal or business req sons. Among those who have been re- ported as considering resigning have been Attorney General Gregory. Secre- tary Baker. Secretary Daniels and Secretary McAdoo.
 Two New Membersg
 Vance Mccormick. chairman of the Democratic national committee. and Senator Falsh. of Montana. are under stood to have expressed their willing ness to join the administration
 The President will catch up with his official business as quickly as pOssible and then may take rest at some win ter resort before Congress convenes. In order to devote himself entirely to official work he will see few callers during the next few weeks.
 Telegrams and letters of congratula- tion continue to arrive in the White House in large numbers. They are be- ing sorted out and as soon as possible all will be acknowledged. None has been received so far from Charles E. Hughes. Thursday night Secretary Lansing plans to give home coming" celebration in honor of the President.

Penetrate 100 Yards Over Five Mile Front, Capturing 3O00-May Be the Start of Great New Battle.
(ey Review Leased Wire.)

LONDON, Nov. 13.-Once again the German line in France has been hard hit. Starting an offensive running from the southern bank of the Andre river northward over a front of about five miles-from St. Pierre Divion to the north of Serre-the British have captured the towns of Beaumont-Ham- il and St. Pierre Divion and first and second line trenches at various points. Between 5000 and 4OOO men were made prisoner in the attack.
 Penetrated a Mile
 The Germans apparently offered slight resistance to their adversaries, although their positions were extreme ly heavily fortified. A maximum gain to depth Of one nile over the five mile front was made by the Brit ish. Hard fighting continues to the north of Serre.
 The move will probably have as its objective the strengthening out of the British line northward from the re- zion of Sars across the Ancre and the pushing forward by the British left wing toward Aichiet-Le-Petit, the junction point of the Arras-Bapaume and Arras Maisonville railway.

 Serbs Score Victory
 The Serbians southeast of Monastir have scored another victory over the Germans and Bulgars, having captur- ed the village of Iven, lying on the Cerna river to the northeast of Polog and forced their antagonists 10 fall back nearly two miles. About 1000 men were made prisoner in this fight ing and large numbers of guns and quantities of arms and ammunition were captured, according to a state ment from Serbian and French war offices.

Plain wire rings were also thought to

Rings as amulets or taliSmans were
firmly believed to protect the wearer
from evil; not alone the ring but the
material of which the ring was made
was also taken into consideration. For
example. the ring of Solomon was sup
posed to have possessed powers which
completely subdued his foes. The ring
in the possession of Joseph and the
Virgin Mary was claimed to have been

sick and alleviating sufferings general

references to falconry. 1t existed in
the valley of the Nile at a very re-
mote time. but how remote nobody
would be safe in saying because eXca-
walton, research and Psychologists are
always pushing back the beginning of
things in the dark land to remote
time. But falconry and hawks are de-
picted on some of the Oldest wall paint
ings that have been unearthed in
Egypt.
Rome learned the sport from Egypt
and introduced hawking into those
parts of Europe to which it's arms ex-
tended, and in those wilder regions
where the legions and the eagles of
Rome did not penetrate the barbarians
learned of hawking from those peoples
who had it from the Romans. In Cen
trail and South America falconry is still
practiced to a limited degree. and in
Great Britain there have recently been,
and perhaps still are, falcon clubs, by
means of which a few persons seek to
keep alive the traditions of the sport.
In the middle ages in England fall
conry was an elegant sport. partici-
pated in by the most aristocratic gem
tlemen and ladies of the realm. and
naturally. all the other classes followed
the example set by their "betters"
There was developed in the pursuit of
the sport of falconry a very elaborate
set of manners or etiquette and a
nomenclature was evolved which. to
the modern mind, is as great a jargon
taken to the chase were sometimes
kept in special cage. and this was
called "cadge.' and the bearer or
servant was a "cadger. Falcons were
east when taken to the chase in
pairs. To man hawk meant to
tame it; a falcon raised from the nest
was an "eyas," it's nest was an "eyry,"
a wild hawk tanned was "haggard"
and there were hundreds of falconry
terms. such as quarry binds
truss" clutch" "carry'' .check
ring" etc.
The training of hawks to bring down
game for the use of man was an in
terestine thing. and certain hawks be-
came famous for their intelligence and
obedience. and certain falconers be-
came famous as trainers of the fierce
birds. Men and often women were as
proud of their own hawks as hunters
are of their dogs on of their horses No
doubt men could train hawks in the
United States to catch birds and rabbits
for them, but men find it easier to
shoot them, SO the tanning and training
of hawks has become almost a lost art
The various classes of people in
England used special species of hawks.

several generations of Magruders rest.
But. the Old Orchard will have to be
left for another narrative, because the
Rambler did not pass that way on the
cold and windy Sunday.
Six seven generations of Magru-
ders were born in the old house on the
little hillock by the roadside where the
Rambler stopped for shelter And
Magruders are living there today and
the family has no thought of moving
away. The first of the Magruders of
Union Valley that the Rambler can
clearly recall was Fielder Maeruder
the elder He had several children and
one of these. Edward Magruder. mar
ried in 1881 Miss Laura Wilson of Mont
gomery county. ami this Mrs. MaSru-
der born Laura Wilson. lives in the
house today-an active and gentle
hammered woman. who takes a keen in
terest in all that pertains to the man
agement of the farm and the home
stead. The Rambler forgot to mention
that the wife of Fielder Magruder the
elder was Matilda Magruder. kins-
woman.
Fielder Magruder the elder had four
sons and one daughter. The sons were
Fielder Lewis. Edward and William,
and the daughter was Susannah- Su-
sannah became the wife of Henry
Phillips of Prince Georges county.
William Magruder married Miss Ham
ilton of Baltimore. He was a graduate
of the West Point Military Academy.
and resigned his commission in the
United States Army to enter the null
tary service of the Confederate states.
He fell at Gettysburg and is buried in
Baltimore. He had one son. William
r. Magruder. who is professor in
some college in ohio.
Fielder Magruder the junior married
Miss Anne +. Young. who was closely
related to the Youngs who owned much
of the site of Washington at the time
of the establishment of the District Of
Columbia, and who was related 10 the
Bealls and the Greenfields. They left
no children.

The first stone uncovered bore this
inscription: Here lies the body OF

uncovered was: Sacred to the menu

The next stone was inscribed Sacred
to the memory of William Luther Will
