LEADERS ARE ALARMED

IL Arbitration Is Promised.

Washington. Aug. 23.-The rail-
road employees committee showed
such marked signs of unrest today at
the delay in the negotiations between
President Wilson and the railway eX-
ecutiyes that the leaders of the men
were alarmed and openly expressed
fears of their ability to hold them
much longer.
An employees meeting this morn
ing was thrown into an uproar by
speeches of a minority. which de-
manded immediate action unless the
roads accept the Presidents plan'bu
the leaders succeeded in adjourning
Il before any vote could be taken on
any of the various proposals. They

Playing for Time.
eft is our belief" one of the COM
mitteemen said. that the railroads
are playing for time with the Presi-
dent. Just as they have done with us
for many months. There is no rea-
son why they should not have given
the President an answer by this
time. They are firing us out all
right. and the men are getting dis
gusted with the whole situation. l
think there are enough coolheaded
committeeman here to control the
meetings a day or two longer, but the
discomfort is spreading rapidly.
While the railroad executives con-
tinued deliberations on what form OF
counter proposal they shall make TO
President Wilson's plan. the Presi-
dent conferred with Senator New
lands and Representative Adamson,
chairman of the Interstate Commerce
Committees in Congress, about the
bill to increase the membership OF
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion by two. Senator Newlands at
terward announced he would push
his bill Immediately The develop
ment was taken to indicate move
ment for sending the investigation
features of the Presidents plan to
the commission.
Possibility of passing an eight-hour
law for railroads was discussed
among several Congressional leaders,
but no definite program was evolv-
ed. and il was understood no action
would be taken unless the Presidents
efforts failed.

Was Railroad Town.
For many years Wamego was known
as a railroad town. being the end OF
the first division of the Kansas IA
cific. In the early nineties the length
of the divisions was changed, and the
end of the first division was moved
SO miles west to Junction City. But
upon the growth of the town.
Situated above flood mark on the
Kansas river. in the garden spot OF the
state, the little town claims It's snare
of good things. It is in the secuon

the wheat, corn, and other products of
the surrounding farms top the mar
kets 1t has a modern milling plant
whose products are sold throughout
the middle west, an elevator, two bar
rel factories, an alfalfa mill, and
large apple tree nursery. Its four
banks are capitalized at $2O5,0OO with
over 100000 deposits.
A Residence Town.
Wamego is a town of homes. The
leading ambition of the place has been
to give its 1000 people the largest at
tainable number of comforts and the
best chance possible for wholesome
and useful living. Its municipal light
and water plant gives continuous ser
vice Its sewerage is sanitary, and the
town has never been visited with a
malignant epidemic in the fifty years
of its history. A weil-organized and
equipped fire department has made
losses by fire almost negligible. The
town has four: rural mail routes, free
city mail delivery, and miles of cement
walks. 1t has six churches, new

If there is one thing more than
others in which local pride centers
it is the tweIve-acre city park, which
is the best improved to be found in
any town of its size in the state. Near

in the town has helped in its improve

LUCK WITH Them
Fortune Favored Germans in
Sea Fight, British Declare.
Ready to Repeat Engagement
With Teutons, They Say.
tBY Hal o,FIAHERTY.}

London. June 7.-"Only phenom-
email piece of luck saved the German
high seas fleet from utter destruction
in the North sea fight a senior Of
fiCer commanding one of the British
cruisers that played an important role
in the engagement, told the United
Press today.
The Germans had all the luck they
could have wanted" he said. 1T was
blowing hard in their direction. The
sun was at our back, silhouetting all
our ships and making splendid tar
gets for the German gunners.
THE firing began at 10000 yards.
We engaged five German battle CRUZ
sers whose names we could not make
out. 1t was hot fighting from the
start, with the water full of bursting
shells. 1 could see our shells hittin g
the Germans and plainly doing great
damage.
"Our plan was to cut the Germans
off from their base. We had accom-
plished this when the mist began set
chance to escape. Our fire was so
heavy they were more than anxious
to quit. Only two of their battle cruz
sers were still firing when the mist
settled. All that was left for us then
was to chase them through the night.
When daylight broke they had disap-
peared.
Our men entered the battle fear
lessly and fought with wonderful cool
ness throughout. One shell after an
other struck our vessels but failed to
break the spirit of the men. burst
ing shell hit funnel of one of our
first line vessels. Men rushed to re-
move the debris found still another
shell, as yet unexploded. The quietly

sank, rushed into the engagement dis
abled, with a broken propelle-. She
circled around helplessly under a hor-
rible enemy fire. The other British
ships came to her aid and engaged the

escaped under their protective fire.
Her loss in men was small and her
damage easily repaired
The Germans certainly enjoyed
great luck in getting away after the
British had paid for their victory with
lives and ships. We are more than
