United States Circuit Judge George
Gray's long record as an arbitrator

has been member Of the permanent

the proper date and place the tner-

the consideration Of the many Difficult
ties arising within the last four years
and affecting critically Mexican and
American interests, There appears to
be q particular desire on the Mexican
side 10 sottle at once the question of u
! withdrawal Of American troops from
MexlCan soil. This question together
with those relating, such as the proper
policing Of the border and the punish
ment Of ralding bandits, will BIO given
immediate attention
There will also be a Thorough in
Qulry into the loss Of American lives
and property along the border and the
discussion Of this phase, 1t is thought,
will broaden into an economic exam
ination Of these dIflculties that will
most likely be of value to the Carranza
government in reestRbIishing Mexican
policies along firm and stable lines.

banks that might hasten the rehabil-
itation Of Mexico.

More or Less Violently but No
Notable Successes Are
ChronicIed from Them.
tSr AssoerArEO PRrUE,

Fighting continues more or less
violently on all the battle fronts in
Europe, but no notable successes are
chronlcled. France and the region
north Of Salonikl have seen the most
intense activity, and in both fields
the initiative generally has been with
the central powers,
Paris and London announce the re-
pulse Of repeated German attacks on

wards along the Courcelette-Thlepval
road were occupied.
Berlin asserts the repulse OF at
tacks along the Somme front at vir-
tually the same sectors, where the
British attacks are reported as haV-
ing taken place.
Sofia records the repulse Of eigh-
teen consecutive attacks by Serbian
soldiers northwest of Saloniki. The
Serbian losses are said to have been
large, Northeast Of Saloniki, the

SITUATION IN
RAIL TROUBLE
IS VERY GRAVE
Wilson Goes to Capitol and
Discusses Situation with Sen
tors Kern and NeWIandS.
MAY ADDRESS CONGRESS
Senators Begin to Discuss Pro-
posaIS to Have Congress
Favor a Rate Increase.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-The
threatened railway strike took on
such grave aspect today that Presi-
dent Wilson turned toward Congress
for solution of the problem.
Suddenly this afternoon when it
became known that the railway ex-
ecutives were unanimous in their re-
fusal to accept his plan of settlement,
President Wilson personally went to
the capitol and laid before Majority
Leader Kern OF the Senate and sona-
tor Newlands, chairman of the inter
state commerce committee, the state
ment Of the railway heads that Con-
gress must guarantee some source
Df added revenue, II they are to meet
the demands of their employees.
May Address Congress.
How this should be accomplished
President Wilson did not suggest.
Immediately afterward senators be-
gan discussing proposals to have
congress record itself in favor Of
rate Increases. No arrangements
we're made today for the president to
address Congress on the subject but
It was considered likely that he might
do so during the coming week, If the
situation continued critical.
Tonight the railway executives
Anishad framing their answer to
President Wilson's plan and notified
the White House they were ready
President Wilson sent word he
would prefer to see them Monday
morning at 10 O'Clock.
The Brotherhood leaders after be-
ing in meeting most of the day ad-
journed to 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning. Many Of them left town.
Next Move is Brotherhoods.
The refusal of the railway exeCu-
tives to accept the Presidents plan
Including concession of the eight
hour day, and proposing counter
plan such as previously been outlin-
ed, will put the next move up to the
brotherhood leaders 1t probably
will be communicated to them OIL
rially Monday after President VIII
son has heard from the executives.
Meanwhile some developments of
possible congressional action is eX-
pected and will depend on the out
come Of the next steps between EN-
ployes and employers
The executives held several meet
Ing during the day but no change
resulted in the position they took last
night, when they approved rough
draft Of their reply to President VIII
son. 1t was $3.50 tonight when the
committee Of eight, which has
handled the negotiations, announced
that they had asked for a confer
ence with President Wilson and
awaited his pleasure, After two
hours wait the executive announced
that President Wilson had informed
