Numerous 4'eports were in circula-
ton during the day that the conf
pany had imported strike-breakers
with whom it would begin operation
of cars but during the day nothing
developed to corroborate them.
1t appeared quite certain at night
however, that an effort to start the
cars would be made today. Presi-
dent WattleS admitted that the re-
sponse from the men to return to ]
work was Disappointing and hence
the prevailing belief is that the traf-
fic will be attempted today under
police protection.
President Wattles' criticism OF the
protection given by police Thurs
day was resented by city authorities
who insisted they were ready to-
protect train crews whenever the
company saw fit to send them out
on the lines.
Police reserves were sent to the
barns last night who, heretoforer
have been kept at central statiori,l
lending color to the belief that OPP
Grafton of the system soon will Be
attempted.
Recognition of the union by the
company, was the sticking point.

their rival claims to territory. Count

has been summoned from the east for
a conference at great headquarters

mediate cession to her Of the strip Of
territory which she was obliged tc dis
gorge at the close OF the Balkan wars
six years ago.
Berlin, according to the information
at hand here, is siding with Turkey.
The gravity with which Wilhelm

among her eastern allies is evidenced
by the conference called at great
headquarters on this far-awav politi-
cal incident in the midst of the most
critical moments OF the great drive
on the west front.
A fresh revelation OF the deep ma
ture Of the peace with Runnanla is also
disclosed in yesterdays dispatches.

the Black Sea, both sides CT the Dan

empires-Germany and Austr.a-de-
pite the fact that it does not border
on their territory.

in hope of getting slice of the Do

entail tobacco in the world IS grown.
Now Berlin is holding the cession
Of her reward in order to compel Bal
garia to yield to the demands of the
Turks.
