BREED THEATRE.

Madame Petrova, the foremost emo- tional actress of the stage or screen will be seen at the Breed theatre to- day in Playing With Fire, a five part Metro wonderplay from the pen of Aaron Hoffman.
 Playing With Fire was written es- pecially for Madame Petrova, as are all Of the, distinctive photodrams in which she is now appearing. They are made with a view to permit her the fullest display of her wonderful dra- matic powers, and for this reason her productions always have a distinction and appeal that is all their own. Play ing With Fire. contains many new and novel effects and tense situations and is said to he the best vehicle ever pro duced for Madame Petrova.
 a On Monday and, Tuesday the Breed will present an exceptional holiday bill headed by Edmund Breese, one of America's foremost dramatic actors, in The Spells of the Yukon, a Metro worderplay in five superb acts. Mir. Breese is probably best known to theatre gCers for his remarkable per formance in The Lion and the Mouse; the sensational play in which he played the leading part for three years in this country and in England.
 The Spell of the Yukon is adapted from the famous poem of the same name by Robert W. Service, and is perhaps MT Services best known work. It is the poem that he selected above all others to put in first pIaci ir his collection, and also carries the title of his famous book of poems.
 The picture reproduces the rough, wild life of the Alaska gold fields. the devil may care spirit of the dance halls and gambling dens. and then. as S foil to all this. the culture and re- finement of New York's smart set. There are thrilling scenes of the stock market. when fortunes are won and lost in an hour and then there is the wholesome influence of a girl and boy love affair.

INGENIOUS CRAFT FOR . SALVAGE OF SUBMARINES
{ Has Been Built in the Netherlands for
 the Spanish Government.

Zaandarn, Netherlands, Sept. 1.-An ingenious craft for the salvage of sub marines has just been launched here to the order of the Spanish govern ment. It is a double screw steamship made up of two separate vessels six meters deep and six meters broad, the fore and aft decks of which are bound together with an intervening space of eight meters, thus giving the entire structure a breadth of twenty meters. The open space Is spanned by hoisting apparatus powerful enough to haul up sunken submarines between the two halves of the ship.
 The electrically driven windlasses have a total lifting power of 650 tons. On board the ship are four workshops for the repair of the salved underwater craft, together wrth hold for the storage of torpedoheads, which can in case of fire be immediately sub- merged. The vessel is 92 1-2 meters long.

A SUNSET PRAYER.

Departed is the golden sun,
 The birds to shelter flee, The hills grow darker one by one
 And night is on the sea. Father, to whom the night and day
 In equal glory shine. Take darkness from my heart away
 And show Thy light divine. The shadows of all worlds by Thee
 Art girt with endless light; Help Thou my soul by faith to see
 Beyond the bounds of night And when for me earth's golden day
 Departs no more to rise, Be Thou, o God. my glorious way
 10 other suns and skies. Theodore .. Williams, in Christian
 Register

SWEDEN MAY ASSIST
TEuTONS IN STRUGGLE

Washington, Aug. 30.-Sweden may
join the war on the side of the Teu-
tonic allies as an offset to the en-
trance of Roumania with the entente
allies.
The state department learned some
time ago an understanding existed be-
tween the Swedish and German gov
ernments, under which, if the situa-
ton should change in the Balkans
through action by Roumania or Greece,
Sweden would strike Russia through
Finland.
If this information should be cor
rect there will be further spread of
the war. Norway, which is exceed
ingly pro-ally, unquestionably will
seize the opportunity to attack Swe-
den, and Denmark, the third Scandi-
navian country, may be drawn into
the bloody maelstrom.
1t is the belief of officials and the
allied diplomats in Washington that
Rounianias entrance into the war sig
nalizes the ultimate defeat of the cen.
trail powers.

TIE WAR IN BRIEF.

Austria has made it's first backward
move in view of the entrance of Rou-
mania in the European war. While
Berlin says that Roumania's attempts
to pierce the Carpathian passes lead
ing into Hungary have been futile,
Vienna admits that owing to far
reaching encircling movement by
strong Roumanian forces, Austria's
advanced detachments have been
forced to withdraw"
What Greece's attitude will be as a
result of Roumania's joining the en-
tente allies is still problematical, but
unofficial advices to London express
the belief that she soon will join the
entente.
A pro-entente demonstration in Ath-
ems passed a resolution saying that if
the people were not heard in their
demand that Greece join the entente
ave must take counsel as to what is
to be done to minimize the ruin which
awaits US"
Occupation by the Bulgarians of
Kavala is declared to have intensified
the feelings of the Greeks, who are
said to be willing to follow former
Premier Venizelos in any action he
may advise. Venizelos is strongly pro-
entente
None Of the belligerents claim any
great battles. An attempt by the Ger
mans to approach British trenches
near PoZieres, stopped by the British,
was the only move made by the in
fantry on the British lines Along the
front held by the French bad weather
halted operations.
On the eastern front the day passed
without momentous happenings In
the Caucasus region near Lake Van
the Russians have gained additional
successes over the Turks.
The Serbians in the Macedonian the
alter are continuing their advance to-
ward Vetrenik, and also have repulsed
strong Bulgarian attack northwest
of Lake Ostrovo.

PROPOSAL OF ROADS
MADE PUBLIC BY THEM

Washington, Aug. 30.-A statement
issued by all the railway presidents
embodies their proposal to President
Wilson and gives their reasons for re-
fusing to accept his plan for settle
ment of the labor trouble:
1--WE are unable after the most ear
nest consideration to agree with the
proposal of the president of the Unit
ed States" it says, (which is that we
accept without arbitration the sub
stitution of an eight-hour agreement.
"This is the main point of the con-
troversy and we cannot surrender it
without an opportunity to be heard in
some form of fair arbitration.
eve do not assent to the statement
that the eight-hour day has the sane
ton of the Judgment of society.
eve believe society has not yet
recorded it's judgment on this SUBJ
ject"
After reciting at length their rea-
the statement concludes:
we propose, however, as oasis OF
settlement the following:
'A-The railways will, effective
Sept. 1, 1916, keep the time of all
men represented in this movement
upon an eight-hour basis, and by sepa-
rate account monthly with each man
maintain record of the difference be-
tween the money actually earned by
him on the present basis and the
amount that would have been earned
upon an eight-hour basis-overtime on
each basis to be computed pro rata.
Tie amounts so shown will be subject
to the decision Of the commission pro-
vided for in this memorandum and
payable in money as may be directed
by said commission in it's findings and
decision.
"B-The interstate commerce COM
mission to supervise the keeping of
these accounts and report the increas-
ed cost on the eight-hour basis after
such period of actual experience as
their judgment may decide or the
president may direct (not less, how
ever, than three months)"

Taking the "Sand" out of Sandstone

taxing the Sand out OF Sandstone.
Manager Robertson of the Sand
stone leaguers, just laughed himself
sick when he received word that
Princeton wanted to play his team and
charged that he had been lodging the
issue He said: "I doubt if any Of
the Princeton bunch could reach first
base in a game with us. Our team Of
sluggers would make their left-hand
pitcher take to the woods. Princeton
could have played out their schedule
and booked US for August 20, if they
had been on the job"
The above appeared in the official
publication of the state fair league and
it certainly is rich. Princeton submit
ted proposition to Sandstone this
week, with the hope Of scheduling a
game with that team, but nothing do
ing. The Sandstone management
could not see it. Princeton usually
plays it's games on the diamond in
stead of on paper, and the local man.
agement is wondering who put the
"sand" in Sandstone.
