II was not until late tonight that the
British admiralty gave out any news

PRESIDENT UNYIELDNC
IN DEMAND FOR 8-HOUR
DAY ARBITRATION BASE,
CorrespondenceOn
Arbitration Made
Public By Wilson

Washington, Aug. 20.--Presfden
Wilson today sent the following tele
gram:
"White House, August 20, 1915.
Mr.. George Pope,
President National Association
.. OF Manufacturers,
Hartford, Conn
ALLOW me TO acknowledge the
receipt of your telegram OF Au-
gust eighteenth and to say in re-
ply that hold to the principle
OF arbitration with as clear n con-
viction and as firm n purpose as
anyone. but that unfortunately
there Is no means now In exis-
tence by which arbitration can be
secured. The existing means
have been tried and have failed.
"Tlits situation must never be
allowed to rise again. but 1t has
arisen. Some means must be
found To prevent It's recurrence,
but no means can be found or
hand or In hurry or in season
to meet the present national
emergency.
what l am proposing does not
weaken or d,scrcdit the principle
of arbitration. 1t strengthens It,
rather. 1t proposes that nothing
he conceded except. the eight
hour day, to which the whole
economic movement Of the time
seems to point and the tmnac-
diatc creation OF an agency for
determining all the arbitrablc eie-
ments in this case in tho Hight,
not Of predictions or forecasts,
but OF established and asccrtaincd
facts.
This Is the first stage Of tho
direct road to the discovery OF
the best permanent basis for ar
bitrauon when no other means
than those now available arc sup
piled.
