ARE CALLED HOME
Families of Railroad Men Cut
Short Their Vacation.
Take No Chances on Tie-up
of Passenger Traffic.

The train service brotherhood strike
crisis in Topeka railway circles as
sumed a more serious aspect today
when 1t became known that officials
and employees Of the railroads here are
notifying their families who are in va
cation resorts to come home. The
report of this development is made by
Topeka woman who returned from
Colorado Monday.
The train,'' she said. was crowd
ed. 1 saw several Topeka women and
men who said they were returning
from their vacation trips. I knew
these people do not usually return un-
til month later than this
Several women, wives of Topeka
officials and employees, told me they
had received kilograms from their
husbands telling them that the crisis
which the strike had reached demand
ed that they come home at once.
They said the messages were sent to
them in code to the station agent and
he in turn read them over the tele-
phone. None of the women saw any
of the messag ges.''
Fear of a possible strike has been
hurting the passenger business of sew
eral western roads. it is reported. At
that, however, traffic has been un-
usually heavy this year to Colorado
and other western summer resorts.

RUCTI0N in CAMP
Nevada Suffragists Withdraw
From National Association.
Insist Campaign Be Anti Will
son and Nationwide.

Colorado Springs. Aug. 15.-An-
nouncement was made here today by
Miss Anne Martin, chairman of the
national Woman's party, which held a
three-day conference here last week,
that the Nevada Womens Civic
league, of which she is president, had
severed it's relations with the Natiohal
American Woman Suffrage associa-
ton. One reason given for the with
drawal was the desire to work exclu-
sively for the Susan B. Anthony
amendment.
Suffrage leaders declared that the
state-by-state method pursued by the
national association was regarded as
futile, as more than twenty state con-
ment.
Wage Fight in Nevada.
1t was asserted that the Nevada or
ganization favored a campaign against
the party responsible for failure to
pass the Susan B. Anthony amend
ment 1t is stated the Nevada society
had declared its sympathy for the
Congressional Union for Woman Suf-
frage and the Woman's party. which
leaders assert are opposed to Mrs. Car
rie Chapman Gait, president of the
national organization.
Miss Mabel Vernon, secretary of the
national Woman's party, left last night
for Nevada, where she will conduct the
election campaign of the Woman's
party in that state against the re-
election of President Wilson and to
defeat the Democratic candidates for
congress.

CHINO-JAP TROUBLE
International Complication May Arise
Over Killing Jap Soldiers.

London, Aug. 15.-Possibilities of
complications in the far east were seen
here today in reports of a clash be-
tween Chinese and Japanese troops at
Chengchiatun, northeast of Peking.
Toxic dispatches asserted that the
Chinese were the aggressors attacking
the Japanese garrison and later be-
sieging the Japanese in the Cheng-
chiatun fort.
Ore Officer and seventeen Japanese
soldiers were reported to have been
killed.
Japan Sends Soldiers.
japanese reinforcements are en-
route to the relief of the garrison.
This is the first report reaching
London on many months of fighting
between armed forces of the two ma
tions and the first disturbance of its
kind in northern China, where the
japanese recently sent more troops.
Chinese and Japanese police clashed
in Annoy, southern China, several
weeks ago. AS a, result the Japanese
government made formal request upon
China for protection of Japanese
within the borders of the republic.

BIG TRADE GUNS
e. s. Needs Them to Compete
in Foreign Markets.
Urges Passing of Webb Law to
Permit Pool Selling.

Chicago. Aug. 15.-At the close of
the present European war the United
States Must have the same size guns
for competing in foreign markets that
our battleships are now equipped
with, according to E. N. Hurley,
chairman of the federal trade commits
sion in published statement here to-
day He declared that while congress
has passed many bills which will be
helpful to business after the world
war is over they will be for naught
unless the Webb bill, now pending.
also is passed.
For or-years, says Mr. Hurley's
statement, ''the nations at war have
allowed their manufacturers and mer-
chants to combine, forming cartels
and syndicates to compete in the mar
kets of the world not only combining
in their respective Industries in the
different countries but nations are
now combining to protect their inter
ests.
Commercial War at Hand.
with these conditions existing and
this great commercial war at hand our
preparedness must be on the zines of
preparing not only for battle, but for
commercial warfare Our manufac-
turers and merchants must have the
same size guns as our foreign rivals
possess.
III the WeDD Dill is not passed ana
some Immediate relief given to manu-
facturers and merchants of this coun-
try, nothing can prevent our yoreign
competitors from getting more than
their share of the foreign business. 1t
is not question of clarifying the
Sherman law; it is not a question of
changing this law so that it will af-
feet our business in any way, or allow
ing combines in this country. 1t is a
question of creating markets for our
surplus products which means that ev-
cry man, woman and child in this
country will be materially benefited
Congress has passed many bills
helpful to business. They will all be
for naught unless the Webb bill is

Petrograd, Aug. 15.-The new Aus
tro-German line along the ZIota Lipa
river to which General Bothmer re-
treated from the river Stripa, is giving
way under heavy Russian pressure.
Russian forces have crossed the Zlota.
Lipa in the north and are attacking
Bothmer's army. The Austro- Ger.
mans are making desperate efforts to
throw the czar's troops back to the
east bank. In the south the Russians
approaching Halitz are several miles
west of the Zlota Lipa and seriously
threaten Bothmer's right flank and.
rear.
Unless the Russian advance is
speedily checked the Austro- Germans
must continue their retreat until they.
reach the Gnista Lpa river, a retire.,
ment Of nearly IS miles on a wide
front.
Give Up Carpathian Campaign.
The Austrians have almost entirely
ceased their attacks in the extreme
southeast, near the Carpathians, ac-
cording to advices from the front to-
day. Ten days ago the arrival of
strong bodies of Austrian and German
reinforcements was followed by heavy
attacks that caused the Russian line
to retire slightly. It is now. believed
that these reinforcements have been
withdrawn and are being hurried to
the defense of Lemberg, by a round
about railroad route south of the Car;
pathians.
The Russians are now drawing in
upon Lemburg on a curving $50 mile
front. At the nearest point, south
west of Brody, they are about forty
five miles from the Galician capital.
