DISASTER ON COUNTRY
Fear of Business Men in the
Central West; Confab Be-
tween Factions
limited Press Dispatch.1

Chicago, ILL.,, August "A strike
on the part of the four great rail-
road brotherhoods would bring great
disaster to the central states. So
business men here agree. There
would be a vast increase in the cost
of the grain that is stored in the
elevators. Unless the strike should
he very speedily settled, the vast
territories tributary to Chicago, st.
Louis and Kansas City, would be
nearer to a state of starvation, after
a short time, than ever before.
New York, Aug. BY August z
the public will know the result OF
the referendum vote that is being
taken by 100000 railroad men on the
question of striking. So Timothy d.
Shea, who is in charge of the count
ing, announced here today.
Washington, Aug. 1.-THE executive
board of the railroad brotherhoods,
who contemplate a strike that would
result in a general tieup of rail-
roads over the United States, and the
managers of the railroads have con-
scented to a conference toF be held

However, Neither Shows Any
inclination to Give Up
Concessions
UNITED Press Dispatch.1

New York, August City officials
of New York frankly declare that
the city is liable to be confronted with
the worst street car situation it has
ever faced. 1t will be necessary for
both the street car companies and
the men to yield something in order
to avert the great danger that threat
ems. Both sides, however, appear
very firm, and absolutely unwilling to
yield an inch
Many MiIitiamen in State.
There are in the state 10000 mill
tiamen, these being left after the
draft of the rest by the national gov
eminent for the Mexican border serv-
ice. The governor will send these
to reinforce the 10000 bluecoats OF
the New York police force.
Appeals to Public.
The street car companies are ap-
pealing to public sentiment by the
distribution of literature. The COM
panies denounce the Amalgamated
Association of Electric Street Rail
way Employees. The companies are
willing to receive committees of the
local unions, but they utterly refuse
to recognize the national union.

Boat Was Sunk

London, Eng, August 2.-The
Dutch steamer Zealand is re-
ported to have been torpedoed by
a German submarine. The
crew was saved and landed at
South Schieds. The captain of
the submarine is reported to have
boosted that he had destroyed
five merchant vessels before de-
stroying the Zealand. The
Zealand was a vessel Of steel
structure, 23o feet long and car
rying 1000 tons.
Petrograd, Russia, August 2.-The
Russian wedge that has been divid-
ing the Austro- German forces near
Kovel is being thrust still farther.
The Russians have been winning sue
cesses in the capture of railroad ter
minals. The control of the railroads
in this vicinity is passing more and
more into the Russian hands, en-
abling them to push their offensive
the more effectively. Stojanoff, rail-
road terminal on direct line to Lem
berg, has recently fallen into the
hands of the Slavs. The capture of
Brody was very important as giving
the Russians railroad facilities.
Terminals have been gained in the
vicinity of Tarnopol.
The ground it still very marshy and
the weather is much against the ad-
vance, but the spirit of the Russian
troops is most excellent.
Reports From French.
Paris, France, August 1.-THE
French war office reports gains on
the Germans both north and south of
the Somme, and also along the
Mouse. 1t was admitted, however.
that the Germans had made a slight
gain in Vaux Chapter wood, but at
the sacrifice of many men.
The French have captured German
positions north of the Somme be-
tween Hens and Monaco. Northwest
of Deniscourt also French successes
are reported. In the Champagne dis
trict charge is reported to have
been made by a large force OF Rus
slams, who routed force of Germans
in hand to hand combat.

New York, August Fit is be-
lieved now that Charles Evan
Hughes will live up to his reputation
as a whirlwind campaigner when he
makes his speaking tour. His timer
airy covers 10000 miles, which he is
to traverse in one month. This about
equals the record made four years
ago by Theodore Roosevelt, when he
covered $4,000 miles in forty days.
Roosevelt went into the south but
Hughes will go south Of Mason and
Dixon's line only once and that will
be when he visits Lexington, KY He
will not visit the state Of Ohio and
only one place will be visited by him
in New England. 1t is believed that
on a second speaking tour he will
visit many places that he must miss

HENRY WOOD.


Paris, August 2.-France paused to-
day in tribute to the memory of
the memory of Corporal Jules-Andre
Peugeot, the first Frenchman killed in
the present war.
1t was at Joncherey on the Upper
Rhine, at 10 a. m, August 2, 1914,
about twenty four hours before the
war was actually declared between
Germany and France, that Peugeot
was shot to death by Lieutenant
Mayer, at the head of a German pa
troll squad.
A national subscription is today be-
ing collected under the patronage of
the minister of war and the. minis
ter of public instruction for the erec-
ton OF monument to Corporal Jules
Andre Peugeot on the spot where he
fell
1t is proposed that the name and
heroic acts of Peugeot pass down in
history as have those of Marechal
des Logis Pagnez, the first victim of
the war of 1870, who was killed at
Niededbronn.
Peugeot, twenty one, was cor
poral in the sixth company of the
forty-fourth regiment of infantry
Early in August he was stationed at
Joncherey, two kilometers from Dele
and twelve kilometers from the Ger
man frontier.
Cry OF the Prussans.
On the morning of August 2, he
had just finished placing a sentinel
and returned to the house of A. M
Daucourt, when the latter's little
daughter came running in crying.
"The Prussians! The Prussians."
Rushing outside, Corporal Peugeot
himself facing a mounted German
patrol of seven members under COM
mand of Lieutenant Mayer of the
Fifth regiment of Chasseurs stationed
at Mulhouse.
Peugeot gave the order to halt, to
which Mayer replied by drawing his
revolver and firing three shots into
the body of the corporal. The latter
fell to his knees, discharging his CUR
before he could take aim.
BY this time few Of Peugeot's
men had rushed up, one of whom
named Monnier, killed Lieutenant
Mayer with two shots from his rife
In the fight that followed, participat-
ed in by some French dragons who
had come up at the sound of the fir
ing. all of the Germans were killed
with the exception of one who es-
capped.
Peugeot, was the only French SOL
dier killed in the fray. He has since
been cited to the order of the day fol
his bravery.
