RUSS STRIKE
HARD BLOWS
ALONG Line

PETROGRAD, Aug. 16-Between
June 4 and August II the Russian
armies under Gen. Brusiloss captured
358,602 Austro-Hungarians and Ger.
mans, including 1857 officers, 1t was
officially announced today by the war
office.
More than one thousand machine
guns were also taken.
General Brusiloss' army is again at
tacking all along the front in Galicia,
but the hardest blows are being driven
home at the end of the line.
The new peril of the Austrians which
has been brought about by this latest
burst of Russian activity accounts for
the hasty departure OF the German
kaiser for the Russian theatre Of war,
where he is at present comforting with
Field Mashall Won Hindenberg.

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-Following a
meeting of the general committee of
railway employees it was officially an
nounced that the GOA chairmen repre-
senting the entire delegat tion from the
big Four" would leave for Washing

EXISTS IN STRIKE ISSUE;
CRISIS COMES THURSDAY AS WILSON
SUBMITS PROPOSALS TO BOTH SIDES

There has been no break. Both
sides are honestly seeking a way
out"
1t was learned, however that the
situation is as follows:
At yesterdays conference the presi.
dent was told by the managers that
up to date they had been called upon
to make all concession and had failed
to receive any In return. They de.
clared that they would not agree to a
one-sided plan.
Previously the representatives Of the
Brotherhood had told the president
that they could not recede from their
decision to insist that the question
of over time pay was not a factor to
the present negotiation. At the same
time they told the president that the
union representatives now here were
not empowered to settle anything:
that any plan of agreement must be
passed upon by the entire committee
of GOA chairmen.
The president Immediately demand
ed the entire committee be called to
Washington at once. He will meet
them tomorrow at the White House.
Administration officials insisted
that the situation had reached a stage
where the president had made def
mite proposals to both sides. The ma
ture OF these proposals it was reported
cannot now be disclosed but In effect
they call upon the railroad to grant
the chief demand Of the men-the
eight hour day-with the collateral
question to be submitted to the arbi-
tration Of non-partisan board of ar
bitration. Whether the collateral
questions also will carry with it the
question Of extra pay for overtime is
a subject on which none Of the Off
cials agree. The exact facts are
known only to the president and the
committees and the president has de-
manded that they refrain from talking
at this time.
1t is understood to be the intention
of the president to submit his COM
plete proposition to the GOA brother
hood chairmen at 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning and explain why he believes
it should be accepted.

WHEAT RETURNS
TO SI.35 LEVEL

Wheat has again advanced to $135
bushel, the highest price paid on
local markets since the Civil war.
Yesterday 1t fell to $1.30, following a
general decline in all markets caused
by the announcement that the govern
ment would investigate to determine
whether speculative market existed.
An embargo on wheat to prevent
expectation is the only thing that can
prevent even higher prices, according
to local miller.
Flour, which advanced from $3. 40 to
$3.50 hundred pounds the first of
the week. has remained steady in
price since that time.

national defense. Not much surprise
was expressed, however, over Gray's
action
Gray has been one of the most ac-
tive members of a congressional fac
tion known as little navy men" He
has consistently opposed any adequate
increase of the army. He has been,
on the other hand, an ardent champ
ion Of the pork barrel" and an active
enemy of the civil service. Gray did
not content himself with voting
against the bill. He spoke in opposit-
ion to it.
The bill provides three year build
ing program of ten dreadnaughts, six
battle cruisers and full complement
of scout cruisers, submarines, destroy
ers and other auxiliary craft, total
of 157 vessels. The bill calls for the
construction next year of four dread
naughts and four battle cruisers.
