ExTENsIVE CELEBRATION OPENING PHASE OF
 NAVAL WAR GAME.
Two Mighty Fleets Arc Manoeuvrins
 of the Atlantic Coast.

Washington, Aug. 22.-TwO mighty fleets were grappnng for each other in the dark tonight somewhere off the Atlantic coast, in the opening phase of the most elaborate war kane ever un- dertaken by the American navy. The navy department, on a, war footing, was invoking every agency to aid Rear -Ad- m1ral Helm, commanding the blue" defending fleet, which was sweeping seaWard behind line of scouts nearly 500 miles long, to repulse Admiral Mayos red battle fleet.
 The game began at o'clock this morning when Admiral Helm on his flagship, the Rhode Island, received word that an agent Of the state de- partment aboard a ship bound from New York to Gibraltar had reported Is battleships of the red fleet 600 miles due east of Cape HatteraS, with 80 transports bringing an army of in VaSiOn to be landed somewhere be- tween Cape Hatteras and Passport, Me. An hour after the report came the F battleShipS of Admiral Helms main fighting fleet, manned in part by civil ian volunteers and naval miiuamen, were headed seaWard from Narragan- Sett. Ahead of them were speeding nearly a score of swift destrOyers and a cruiser squadron. Rear Admiral GleaVes commands the scouting force, which is conVerging on the point where the enemy was known to be at day light this morning. Admiral NTayo's problem is to force a way through the blue fleet for his transports. The board within which operations must be confined is virtually 500 miles square, and with the active battleships of the Atlantic fleet as his main fighting fleet Admiral Mayo controls a force that Admiral Helm must employ strategy to defeat. Rear Admiral Knight. head of the navy war college, is umpiTing the game from the battleship Penn sylvania.
 The radio signals from the enemy fleet mean nothing to the operators on Admiral Gleaves' scouting ships. The messages are in a cipher code known only to the officers and men of the ''red'' fleet. Those picked up tonight by blue" scouts, however, were sent back through radio relay ships to the navy department, where code experts struggle dover them through the night seeking the key to the cipher.
 By the terms of the problem, pre- pared at the naval war college, the red" commander has until Sept 1 to effetc a landing.

MEMBERS SELECTED FOR
 THE MEXICAN COMMISSION
Franklin K. Lane, Judge George Gray
 and pr. John R. Mott.

Washington, Aug. 22.-Secretary Lansing announced tonight that the American members of the joint com mission to undertake settlement of differences between the United States and Mexico would be Franklin K. Lane. secretary of the interior; Judge George Gray of Wilmington, Del, and Dr. John R. Mott of New York city.
 All the commissioners have accepted their appointments. the Mexican mem- bers were name dsOme time ago and arrangements for their meeting will be made immediately by Secretary Lansing and FIliseo Arredondo, General Carranza's ambassador designate. Vir- tUaIly the only question to be decided is where the session shall be held. The Mcxicans are understood to prefer some resort on the New Jersey coast
 Secretary Lane, who will head the American group, was the first member selected. Associate Justice Brandeis was President Wilson's second choice, but after a conference with Chief Jus tiCe White he decided his duties would not permit him to serve. Judge Gray, a retired federal circuit judge and former United States senator, has had much experience on international bodies and since 1900 has been mem Der of the international permanent court of arbitration under The Hague convention Dr. Mott is general sec retary of the international committee of the Young Mems Christian associa- tion and author of numerous religious works. He was offered the post of minister to China by President Will son, but declined it. 5

Special Session of
 General Assembly
WILL BE CALLED BY GOV. HoL-
 COMB FOR sEPT. 12
TO LAST ONE DAY ONLY
To Take Action Which WIll Allow the Connecticut ouarolsnaen Now On the Mexican Border to Vote at the November Election.

Hartford, Conn, Aug. 22.-A special session of the general assembly will be called on Tuesday, Sept. F, to take action which will allow the COnnecti- cut guardsnen now on the Mexican border to vote at the November cleo tiOn. This was announced late today by Governor Marcus H. HOIcomb after conferring with Congressman E. J. Hill and others.
 To Send Warrants to Sheriffs.
 Governor Holcomb said the session would last only one day and it was unlikely any other matters would be brought up. Next week he intends to send warrants to the high sheriffs in all the counties in the state, notifying the members to attend the session.
 State Officers as We'll as National.
 Resolutions will be presented to the assembly, the governor said, which would allow the soldiers to vote not only for national officers but state of f1cers as well. During the Civil war practically the same question arose and the Connecticut supreme court ruled that the soldiers could vote for national officers. There is some doubt in the governors mind whether the constitution provides for voting on state officers, out he believes that if the issue is taken to the supreme court the tribunal win rule in favor of the men voting for all officers.

ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL
 REPASSED BY THE HOUSE.
Senate Refers It to the Military Conn nittee-May Proposal Eliminated.

Washington Aug. 22.-After the house today had repassed the $314,0 COG army appropriation bill without the revised. articles of war. a feature of which caused President Wilson to veto the measure, it was hastened to the senate and there referred to the nili- tary COmmitte.
 Tonight Chairman Chamberlain an nounced that. the committee would meet tomorrow and restore the articles of war, eliminating the Hay proposal to exempt retired officers and men from the military code, the provision object ed to by the president. If a point of order is made and sustained against the articles in the senate, Senator Chamberlain will seek to retain them by a two-thirds vote.
 Representative Hay has let it be known that he will not insist again on his amendment. There are reports, however, that Representative Leader Mann may demand a quorum of the house to send the bill back to confer ence. Such a development might pro- long the session of congress several days

plan which would force an eight hour day on the roads without some form of arbitration.
 It was understood the White House conference tonight did not develop any actual plan, but that the three execu- tives wished to get President Wilson's views on various phases of the mat ter so that they could be outlined to the rest of the committee tomorrow, The executives are said to realize that position he has publicly taken and some of them are convinced now that about all they can hope for is to come out with some concessions. Feeling of Restlessness Among Em-l
 ployes.
 Among the more than 500 represen-i tatives of the railroad bTotherhoods in Washington there was evident today a feeling of restlessness and there were many inquiries of leaders as to| how long they must remain. It is not expected that this feeling will lead to- any open revolt unless the conferences between President Wilson and the ex-! ecutiVes are prolonged. Some of the. leaders told inquirers today that they would not have to stay in Washington more than forty-eight hours.
 The railroad executives who are counting on winning the president to. their position in the negotiations say that the case after all is to be decided by public opinion and that this will be found to support arbitration and con dernn the eight hour dap. These made public tonight several telegrams from commercial organizations throughout the country upholding arbitration for the settlement of labor disputes and opposing an eight hour day such as the employees desire.
 The cabinet discussed the situation at today's meeting and i nthe opinion of some of the members the dangers of a strike have been greatly lessened.

AN APPEAL MADE
 TO CATHOLIC VOTERS
At Mass Meeting of German Roman
 Catholic Verein.

New York, Aug. 22.-Catholic voters throughout the United States were urged, at a mass meeting of the Ger man Roman Catholic Central Verein here tonight, to unite and cast their influence at the polls where it will best subserve the high and holy prin-, cipIes'' for which Catholics stand. zaga Union of St. Louis, Mo. who made the appeal, declared there were at least 3,000.000 Catholic voters in the country-"quite a force," he said, flor the bringing about Of proper condi- tions"
 sThat," MT. zipf added, "is almost as many votes as the republican party boiled at the last general election. That very number places in our hands a. power to be used in works of social civic betterment, in works of mercy is uplifted let it be for construction always, but never for destruction"
 MT. Zipf asserted he was not con- tending for religious party but for an organization of Catholics to bring into public life a spirit of liberty and toleration."
 We must be so organized" he de- cIared and under such leadership that upon occasions we speak fOrc1bly as one man and say to the Black Hand of religious moderation hypocrisy and hatred, Thou shalt not enter here, SO far shalt thou go and no further
 A resolution demanding at the end of the world war the pope "be heard in the council of the nations for the securing and cementing of a perma- nent peace" was passed by the Amer ican Federation of Catholic Societies at it's convention.

trenches in the direction of Martin punch. There has been no action of importance on the French section of the line.
 For several days the Russian re- ports in regard to the situation on the eastern front have been very meagre and Petrograd has insisted that noth- ing of importance has occurred in that theatre. Berlin, however, describes very heavy fighting in progress both on the Stokhod and in the passes of the Carpathians. An interesting fea- ture of the Russian official statement is the intimation that the Grand Duke Nicholas Is once again pressing his offensive in the Caucasus. For the last two days Petrograd has empha- sized the fighting around Diarbekr but no important change in the situation has occurred as yet.
 heavy blow against Germany on the sea is claimed by London. The British submarine E-23 reports hay ing attacked an 18,60O-ton German battleship and the submarines com mander believes the dreadnought went to the bottom.
 There is no news from the Italian front, where a luIl has existed for sev- eral days.

Washington, Aug. 22-Eight presi- dents of important railway systems who have been designated to draft the railroads reply to President Will sons appeal that they accept his plan for averting a nationwide strike were in almost continuous session today and tonight without solving the prob lem.
 Late tonight three of the committee men, Hale Holden, of the Burlington; R. s. Lovett of the Union Pacific and Daniel Willard of the Baltimore and President Wilson. They were at the White House more than an hour and on leaving declined to talk about their visit, further than to say they had asked for the conference to discuss the general situation" and expected to see the president again.
 ProIonging Negotiations.
 Although some of the sixty or more presidents are showing a disposition to prolOng the negotiations in the hope that the sentiment of business men of the country will be shown to be opposed to the idea of an eight hour day, there was a general feeling tonight that a definite answer to Pres ident Wilson's demand cannot be much longer postponed. The presi- dent is understood to have indicated that he desired his proposals to be fully debated by the executives, but their conferences among themselves have failed so far to develop any con- crete plan likely to win approval.
 Insist on Arbitration.
 So far as the railroad presidents would discuss the situation tonight they still are insistent on arbitration of the eight-hour day and all other issues with the employees. As the con- ferences continued there was less talk -s~s1, +1 .ty.il- but some of the executives are ex- nacted to fight to the last ditch any

Both wings of the allied line on the Saloniki front, where the soldiers of at least seven nations are locked in battle, have been sent back by the Bulgarians. Tn the center, however, where the main effort of the allies is being made al the entrance to the great Vardar valley, Paris reports i'm portant gains for the Anglo-French forces.
 Nothing is said of the Russian or Italian Contingents and no infOrma- ton has been given as to the strength of these endorsements. The Serbians have apparently been the heaviest losers in the initial phases of the of fensive and have been forced back on their extreme left about five miles from the Serbian-Greek frontier. They claim, however, continues progress on the other sections of their front.
 On the right of the allied line the British and French, who had advanced across the Struna in the direction of the Bulgarian frontier, have been forced to fall back on the river.
 On the westerl front there has been little change in the situation. The British are continuing their efforts to surround Thiepval and report the cap ture of one hundred yards of German

 FOR BOSTON & MAINE Filed Tn the United States District Court at Boston Yesterday.

Boston, Aug 22-ReCeivership for the Boston and Maine railroad, which operates in the four northern New England states and Canada, was ask ed for in a bill in equity filed in the United States district court here to- day. This action, in which the Inter continental Rubber company of New Jersey which holds a note of the road for S51,00O appears as the petitioner was taken with the consent of the di- rectors of the Boston and Maine it is understood. No official statement on this phase of the matter could be ob- tained, but one of the directors said 1t was friendly proceeding, intended to simplify the task of scraishtening out the roads financial taugle
 The board of directors, which for two years has been trying to effect a reorganization of the system, was in session today to consider it's prOce- dure in connection with $13, 800 900 of indebtedness falling due on Aug 31 Most Of these obligations had been ey- tended from time to time while await ing the outcome of plans for reorgani- zation. After long meeting, the di- rectors decided they had reached the end of their rope" in the words of one of their number, and issued the fol- lowing statement through President J. H. Hustis:
 Tn the opinion of the directors of H4AS TS,'St4 anu -'AtsA1lS laAlL odl IL IS lnexpedient to attempt a further re- newal of the notes falling due Aug ust 31st. A creditors petition for a receiver has been filed in the United States district court and in due time the Boston and Maine will file it's an swer thereto"
 This answer. it was intimated to- night, would be made within a week. Whether any incidental action would develop meantime was uncertain. aI- though indications were not lacking .onight that certain of the leased lines interested had virtually decided to contest proposal of receivership.
