Berlin, Aug. ga great battle may
occur along the Rumanian frontier
within a few hours.
Rumania has been concentrating large
forces along the Pennsylvania border for
several days, the Tageblatt reported to-
day. The Teutonic forces took prompt
measures to guard against sudden in
vasion and have massed sufficient
troops to meet the Rumanian attack.
The patrol skirmishes reported in yes
terday's official war office statement
may mark the beginning of an impor-
tant engagement.
The Berlin newspapers commented
with great restraint upon Rumania Is
entrance into the war. The general
opinion of German critics is that Ru-
mania will play no important part in
military affairs except that it will be
necessary to regroup the forces of the
central powers to some extent to meet
the new enemy. The Lokal Anzeiger
points out that the Rumania declara.
ton does not affect the food situation
because Rumania has exported little
food to Germany and Austria lately.

New York, Aug. 29.-The New York
Evening sun financial review today
says:
Trading in the greater part of to-

volume, with the business poorly dis.
tributed and chiefly a reflection of the
operations of the professional element.
Although at time moderate declines
were reported, the movement did not
accompany important liquidation or evil

stantial Wall street interests regarding
the railroad labor situation.
Losses recorded in rail stocks, as for
instance Union Pacific, Reading and

tive offerings, while weakness in some
of the munition shares and specialties
was not effective in bringing on a
general selling movement.
In the first part of the afternoon
prices held firm at or slightly above the
early low points, with fair buying noted

Forest Reserve

Tacoma, Wash, Aug 29.-Fifty ad.
ditional fire fighters were sent out to-
day to aid the men already combating
the forest fires reported raging in the
Snoqualmie forest reserve near the
summit of the Cascades. The fire is
burning along the White Chuck river
and 1900 acres of timber already have
been burned over. The loss is estimat-
ed at several thousand dollars. The
Northern Pacific railroad station at
Lester was saved with difficulty by
employees of the company who stretched
long lines of hose from locomotives
with which to fight the flames.
Small fires reported from various
parts of Pierce county last week, are
now under control.
Carelessness on the part of motorists
and campers is assigned by state fire

greater number of the fires started in
the reserve.

Washington, Aug. 29.-The presi-
dents speech to congress on the rail
road strike issue follows:
Gentlemen of the Congress:
~ have come to you to seek your
assistance in dealing with very grave
situation, which has arisen out of the
demand of the employees of the railroads
engaged in freight train service that
they be granted an eight hour working
day, safeguarded- by payment for an
hour and a half of service for every
hour of work beyond the eight.
"The matter has been agitated for
more than a year. The public has been
made familiar with the demands of the
men and the arguments urged in favor
of them and even more familiar with
the objections of the railroads and their
counter demand that certain privileges
now enjoyed by their men and certain
basis of payment worked out through
many years of contest be reconsidered,
especially in their relation to the adop-
ton OF an eight hour day. The matter
came some three weeks ago to final
issue and resulted in a complete dead
lock between the parties.
Law Is Inadequate.
"The means provided by law for the
mediation of the controversy failed and
the means of arbitration for which the
law provides were rejected. The rep
resentatives of the railway executives
proposed that the demands of the men
be submitted in their entirety to arbitra'
tion along with certain questions of re-
adjustment as to pay and conditions of
employment which seemed to them to
lie either closely associated with the
! demands or to call for reconsideration
on their own merits; the men absolutely
declired arbitration, especially if any
| of their established privileges were
| by that means to be drawn again in
question. The law in the matter put
10 compulsion upon them. The four
hundred thousand men from whom the
/ demands proceeded had voted to strike
if their demands were refused; the
strike was imminent; it has since been
set for the fourth of September next.
1t affects the men who man the freight
/ trains on practically every railway in
the country. The freight service
/ throughout the United States must
stand still until their places are filled
! if, indeed, it should prove possible to
| fill them at all. Cities will be cut off
from their food supplies, the whole
commerce of the nation will be para
| lyzed, men of every sort and occupa-
/ tion will be thrown out of employment,
countless thousands will in all likelihood
be brought, it may be, to the very
point of starvation, and a tragical ma
/ tional calamity brought on, to be added
TO the other distresses of the time, be-
cause no basis of accommodation or set
| tlement has been found.
Eight Hour Day is Just.
