Washington, August 1s.-The heads
Of the railway hYotherhoods today ask
ed President Wilson to modify the
proposal which he submitted TO the
general committee as basis for the
settlement of their disputes with the
railroads; The request was made
through Judge Chambers of the feder-
al board. 1t is understood that they
suggested that the president provide
some method whereby there should be
no excessive overtime under the eight
hour. day scheme
The non-arrival Of some OF the west
ern railroad president necessitates the
postponement Of their conferences
with the president from 1880 till 2
this afternoon.
1t is believed that the railroad en-
ployes vote on the presidents propose,
may be made known before the rail-
way presidents conference with Presi-
dent Wilson.
The railway presidents today ratified
the tentative choice of Hale Holden
OF the Burlington as spokesman.

Something About censors.

BY United Press.
London, August 1-tBy mail)-
''The censor is not the dam fool you
take him to be"
The above line was penned by a
British censor upon letter from an
officer at the front to his wife, in
which an ingenious code was discov-
cred. 1t meant to disclose to the anx-
ious wife just where her husband was
fighting, but it was spoiled BY the CEN
sor and an order was issued by the
war office prohibiting such practices.
Before the officer who wrote the
code letter left for the front, he se-
cured two maps showing the entire
British fighting line. The maps we're
identical. One he left with his wife
and the other he took with him.
Thereafter, each time he wrote a
letter he placed the stationery on his
map, stuck a pin through it directly
where he was stationed Upon receiv-
ing the letter his wife would superim
pose it on her map, adjusting the ex-
treme pinholes over Paris and Brus-
sells, and her husbands whereabouts
would be indicated by the middle hole
This is but one of a score Of codes
and secret signals discovered by the
censors recently. England does not
eensure the relatives of men at the
front for wanting to know the locality
in which they are fighting and per
haps dying. but such disclosures be-
came a menace. No one knows how
extensive Germany's espionage sSs-
tenn may be, and England Is taking no
chances.
