NEW YORK, Aug 14.--A sharp re-

days ago submitted to remarkable

THEY USED AID COLUMNS

CHICAGO, Aug. 14.-Some western
railroads are so well prepared for a
strike that they have applications
from a sufficient number Of skilled
operatives to operate trains In event
of a walhout OF the four big brother
hoods. w. B. Storey. head Of the
operating department Of the Santa Fe
railway, today told the United Press.
THE Santa Fe, for one, is prepar-
ed" Storey declared
I'VE have received sufficient ap-
plications from our advertisements In
newspapers in which we asked for
men to operate trains in event OF a
strike to- supply the demand"
At the same time it was announced
from the Office Of Passenger Traffic
Manager Gerritt Fort of the Union
Pacific that petition signed by
eighty per cent of the Union Pacific
trainmen had been forwarded from
Omaha to Washington today, asking
congress to prevent a strike. These
trainmen, Fort said, are not members
OF the brotherhoods.
From the Rock Island railway Of
ices it was stated that there will be
enough apply to run the road to a
limited extent. Unless protection is
provided, 1t is UNLIKELY any zntteanpt
will be made by the Rock Island to
operate, however"
Some Chicago railroad men who
claimed to have inside information,
said here that the brotherhoods un.
doubtedly would order a strike, "but
1t will never get to the warkolt
stage" One declared the brother
hoods would finally reluctantly agree
to let the interstate commerce com
mission settle the difficulty"
Possibility of government tnterfer
ence against tie-up Of the Rock
Island and other lines now in fedora
receivership was cited by officials Oh
the Rock Island.
Burlington railroad officials said ir
event of strike they probably woult
draw on veteran engineanen and train
men now higher officials Of the com
pany, to aid in operating their trains
These with few non-lnion recruits
could operate traffic for limited ex
tent, they declared.

ASHEVILLE, N. c., Aug. 14.-How
possible heavy loss of life in the vii
lagos below the great lake Toxaway
dam was prevented though the daring
ride Of mountaineers just ahead of
the waters, tossed when the retaining
wall broke, was told today by surviv-
ors. The mountaineers risked death,
galloped through the villages telling of
tn floods that followed them and
warning residents to flee to the hills.
Hardy mountaineer horsemen volun-
teered to ride down the valleys to
warn men, women and children OF the
little hamlets that would be swept.
Travelling short mountain cuts and
often risking their lives by breakneck
speed along narrow mountain side
trails, the riders kept just ahead OF
the waters.
Estimates today placed the proper
ty loss at half million.
Hints at rigid investigation and
possible action developed today when
tanning wall has been several times
reported leaking during the past
year.
Shortly before noon Sunday, a
stream Of alarming volume began
seeping through the masonry. A
watch was set and about six o'clock
the break ripped wider and wider un-
til it was apparent the collapse of the
wall was inevitable.
Towns all along the path of the
Lake Toxaway river and the Chusa
river into which it flows. were prac-
tically evacuated by the residents,
warned of the dams breaking.
The Lake Toxaway dam kept back
the water flowing from Lake Toxaway
river through a deep gorge. In the
path Of the waters it released are An
derson, Pickens, Seneca and other
towns along the Chuga river.

John w. Hayes, secretary and treas

said. there was talk os consolidating

garded victory to extend votes to wo-
men as inevitable. and felt that in view
of such inevitability the question
should be removed from politics by
immediate adoption by congress of an
enabling resolution permitting submis-
sion of a constitutional amendment
for equal franchise to the states. He
has asserted his belief that such an
amendment would carry and in
speeches in Montana suffrage state

PBTROGRAD, Aug. 14.-The last
formidable Austro- German barrier to
Lemberg has been broken, and the
Teutonic forces are making a general
retreat on ninety mile front in the
direction of the Galician capital.
Compelled to retire from the strong
Stripa river positions by the thTea
that his armies would be surrounded
and captured, General Bothmer is
falling steadily back on the Zbotai
Ltpa. eighteen miles to the west. But
Russian forces already have crossed
the Zlota Lipa north of Stanislau, and
the danger Of a blow at his right flank
will prevent Bothmer from making
stand here.
On the whole line the Russian
moving machine is reaping a bloody
harvest. On the front. east and south,
east OF Lemberg alone, it is estimated
that the Austro-Germans have lost
75. 900 men. or half their effecttves.
This fact, it is believed, necessitates
the continued retreat before the Rus.

burgers alone took two thousand

! A Russian cavalry force that cap.
tured Mariampol, only eight miles
southeast of Halitz, is believed to be
pushing toward the Halitz-Stantslau
| railway north Of the Dniester, only
three miles away. The capture oi
this crossing would cut off large
force of Austro-Germans who retired
from Stanislau and force them to
make a wide detour constantly mar
rassed by Russian cavalry.

that the Russians continue to advance
westward in the region OF the middle

At 6 o'clock Sunday morning the
Austro-Germans attacked Russian
positions in the Kovel region. The
fighting was severe in the region OF

old positions by a counter attack.
