RAILROADS' WAR BOARD
 HEARS OF B. & M. STRIKE
Called to Their Attention by James H..
 Hustis, Temporary Receiver.

Boston, Sept. 3.-The railroads war board at Washington tonight was ad- vised of the strike of 5000 mechanics in the shops of the Boston and Maine railroad by James H. Hustis, temper ary receiver of the road, with the re- quest that the board inform the sec- cretary of labor of the situation, as a matter of pressing interest to the fed eral authoritfes.''
 The efforts of the state board of ar bitration and conciliation to bring about a settlement are fully appre- ciated and will be avai1ed of to the ex- tent that if it's possible to do so,'' Mir. Hustis said, ''but 1t is felt that the probable consequences will reach far beyond this state and the matter will be one of pressing interest to the federal authorities. How far-reach- ing are the questions here involved be- comes evident, if one considers that if demands similar to these were grant ed in all classes of labor outside of those affected by the eight hour law. the increase in transportation rates required to compensate the railroad for the losses would be so large as to require the most careful inyestiea- tion.'
 Rowland B. Mahany, sent here, as a mediator by Secretary of Labor Will son before the strike was declared last Friday, was still striving tonight to secure an adjustment.
 Final decision on the question of accepting or rejecting two arbitration propositions made by Charles G. Wood, a member of the state arbitration at meeting today of a general com- mittee representing the strikers. The mechanics demand a wage increase of eight cents a nhour.

SHOWS WEAKNESS OF
 THE RUSSIAN ARMY,
Fall of Riga Recalls the Warning
 Given by General korniIoff.

London, Sept. 3.-The evacuation of Riga by the Russians recalls the state ment Of General Korni1off, commander in n-chief of the Russian armies, at the Moscow conferences:
 If our army does not help us to hold the shore of the Gulf of Riga, the road to Petrograd will be opened wide.'
 While few believe that the Germans will undertake to penetrate to the Russian capital over a road $50 miles in 1engtl, through territory almost i'm passable for it's. armies, nevertheless, the news is considered serious. It shows that the Russian army is far from the recovery predicted so .often
 The abandonment of the city of Riga became necessary when, through the insta Dility of Russian regiments, the Germans were able to cross the Dvina river at UxkulL thus threatening the road to Petrograd from the southwest while another army advanced across the Tirul marshes and along the shore of the Gulf of Riga towar is the town. The penetration of the Russian posi- tions at UxkuI is likely to make neces- sary a encouragement of the Russian lines.
 The abandonment of the gulf gives to the Germans another sea base from which to operate in the Baltic, one much nearer the Gulf of Finland. It's use, however, is limited by ice condi- tions that will prevail later It is vir- tually certain that all Russian naval vessels will escape to the north.

CAUSE OF SINKING OF
 THE CITY OF ATHENS
Struck a Mine-The Captain Disobey-
 ed Steering Orders.

London. Sept. 3.-Advices received here from Cape Town. South Africa, say that a court of inquiry held re- gently to investigate the sinking of the British steamer City of Athens, in which four American missionaries
 and a large number of other persons
 lost their lives. found that the dfsas-
 ter was due to the vessels striking a
 mine or mines. due to the captain dis
 obeying steering orders.
 From testimony adduced the court
 found that the wireless operator was guilty of gross neglect for not record ing messages received and for not in forming the captain concerning them. The captain was declared to have been guilty of allowing the wireless opera tor to participate in the decoding of messages, contrary to instructions.
 The investigation brought out that the large number of lives saved was due largely to the explosion igniting the oil tanks on the steamer, causing a dense smoke and attracting the at tention of persons on the shore. Other wise it is considered unlikely that the boats would have floated long enough to enable the rescue of those iii them.
 All the stories related by survivors concurred that the passengers were cheerful. Darkness fell about o. pear until after nine. buided by flares in the boats. Then, about two hours elapsed before the last boat was found.
 From this boat were taken the life less bodies of the Rev. Arthur Duck worth, 9 British clergyman, and two of his children. Three other persons previously had been lost from the boat. The original occupants of it had in c1uded MT. and Mrs. Nygaard (Ameri- cans who were lost). who were going to Madagascar; Helen Robinson (also American and also lost), who, after having graduated in the United States. was returning to India, where her father the Rev. John c. Robinson, is bishop of the American Missionaries Board; Miss Caroline Thompson (American and 1ost) who was going to Misses Wilson and Mangin, missionaries. and two young South African business men, Fisher and Moore.
 The City of Athens met with dis aster off Cape Town in the middle of August while bound from New York for South Africa and India. In addi- lion to the four American missionaries lost there were fifteen other mission aries on board who were rescued. In all fifteen of the 97 passengers and four members of the steamer lost their lives.
