GERMAN AUSTRIA PROTESTS TERMS OF PEACE PACT Claims Economic Burdens Are So Heavy Collapse is
 Ennexitable. WOULD TRY TO MEET
 TERRITORIAL ORDERS Commission to s'sake Up Economic and Financial Questions as
 Urged bs Beaten
 Power.
(By The Associated Press

Copenhagen, Aug. 8.-A summary of the Austrian note presented to the allied peace mission at St. Ger main, France, yestsrday has been re- ceived here from Vienna.
 eff -Austria's territorial demands are fulfilled to the minimum extent maintained for in the appendix to the note" says tAe. summary, Ger man-Austria will make efforts to be- ieve she can live Independently and in peace in this territory. She ex- poets the league of nations will hear her in her hour of distress.
 'On the other hand German-Aus- tria still is firml5 convinced that the economic burdens imposed upon her by the peace treaty cannot really be carried out and that if they are substantially frightened, she is bound to collapse"
 The note urges amendment with a view to investing g commission with plenary powers. regarding all econo- mic and financial peace conditions. It then argues at length regarding "the unjust and unequal division of old Austra's debts among the states which succeeded it and the injustice of stipulations regarding war loans"
 The note proposes, as in the case of pre-war debts, that all debts shall be divided bs the separations commission accosdais to the ahility of individual states to meet them,
 The note concludes with a refer ence to settling accounts between German-Austria and other states of the former monarchy, declaring that stipulations not capable of fulfill ment must be removed and these questions regulated by the repara- tions commission in order not to prolong the peace negotiations.

German Cannon May
 Be Given City for
 War Work Done Here

Unless a bill introduced by Senator Joe T. Robinson in the senate fails, Pine Bluff will have two cannons captured from the Germany army as a reward for the patriotic services of the people of Pine Bluff and Jefferson county during the war with Germany. A defeat of the bill is not anticipated, and it is probable that the cannons will be forthcoming shortly.
 Senator Robinson introduced. the bill as. the result of request made of him last week by Judge W. B. Sor- rells. Tn letter to Judge Sorrells he says: In response to your suggestion that Pine Bluff be furnished two cannons captured from the German army, l introduced bill in the senate provid- :, ing that two cannons be donated to l lPin& Bluff, and l hope favorable ac- tiortf will be taken"

 Soon.

Washington, Aug. 8.-Reports be- gan to arrive at the railroad admin ;stration late today from all the country saying that the striking shopmen were returning to work pending the adjustment of their wage demands by Director General Hines.
 Kansas City and Cincinnati off, cials expressed belief that normal conditions would prevail tomorrow At all places where men are out, local officials of the railroad administra- tion are cooperating with union chairmen in explaining the necessity for going back to the job at once, which President Wilson made a prerequisite to the opening of nego- tiations.
 Indianapolis was the only place from which came a report that men were refusing to resume their places. It was believed that when the situa- tion was explained, they would change their decision.
 Union headquarters were equally confident that the shopmen would re- turn. Ef
 "Its little too early to get mass u I0poTCS IEOlH lOcalS Dut we nave already been notified by a number of union officials that their men intend ed to go back at once," said acting President Jewell of the railway sec tion of the American Federation of Labor. "Lscals along the Roanoke line, at Kansas City, ard at five points along the Northern Pacific are already in line. By noon tomorrow most of the remainder will be found on the job. We should be able to commence negotiations next Tues day with Director General Hines, un- der terms of the presidents letter, with the men back at work"
 About 10000 out of the estimated 500,000 men in the shop crafts have walked out to date, according to union estimates.

 MACH|N|STS FOR
 GENERAL STRIKE
Vote Taken Here is on Orders of Railway Division of
 Federation.

The strike ballot sent out by the railway division of the American Fed eration of Labor reached Pine Bluff yesterday and last night members of Machinists' local No. 51 voted solidly to strike.

 The vote was taken under instruc- tions from the parent organization and means the men here will go out only if ordered to do so. It is believed that by the time set for the strike the necessity for striking will have been averted.
 Roy Hammond, corresponding sec retary of the local and a member of the publicity committee, last night refused to give out any information regarding the meeting, stating that he had nothing to say. Later he would neither admit nor deny vote was taken.
 At a regular meeting of local 51 Thursday night, the Plumb plan for ownership and control of railroads was indorsed by the local.
 The strike ballots which were voted on last night. were sent out under the direction of Acting President Jew ell of the railway division of the American Federation of Labor, and are to be returned to headquarters August 24, when the vote will be tabulated. and a decision then made. Local shopmen have refused to walk out until ordered to do so under the proper authority coming from the railway division of the American Fed. eration of Labor.

SIGNAL CORPS MEN
 WORKING IN ALASKA
Mercury Often Drops to 50 and
 More Below Zero

Valdez, Alaska (By Mail.)-Up among deep snows and fierce gales, In some of the most lonely spots in the world in wintertime, where the mercury sometimes is from 50 to S6 degrees below zero, the men of Uncle Sam's Signal Corps keep their faith ful vigil. .-":
 In lonely hamlets on the top of solitary mountains, their cabins bur ted in snowdrifts, these men in khaki watch in the white silences over the slender wires of communicate reaching from Valdez to the interior and thence to the farthest confines of the territory, ending above Nome in the great white wastes of the sub Arctic. From Maine, New York, Texas, Missouri, Nebraska and other states recruits come to the service. There has not yet been the first in stance recorded of a man falling to perform the task allotted to him.
 Seventeen stations are maintained by the corps out of Valdez, each com pletely outftted. The Pacific-Alaska cable, after leaving Seattle, first reaches the coast at Valdez. Here m messages are transferred from the cable and sent out over the land lines.
 To reach his station, or post of duty. many a Signal Corps man has to walk hundreds of miles. Then, when the winter blasts hurl out over the white wastes, begins the Signal Corps mans vigil. Copper wires that link the great territory together and carry the news of the world pass from Valdez through deep forests, tundra and morass, over lofty hills and through beautiful prairies to Fair banks, down the Tanana River to Fort Gibbons, down the Yukon to St Michael and thence to Nome.
 Daily trails must be broken to other stations, lines repaired, trees rem owed from the vicinity of the wires. The Signal Corps man must risk his life time and again for the careless or unfortunate travellers Some of his deeds have come to light. Among them was a rescue in 1908 when the Delta district between Valdez and Fairbanks was visited by one of the worst olizzards in the history of the country. For Y days the mercury continuously the fine snow in blind Ing masses through the air. One could scarcely face the elements. A party of prospectors and miners on its way from Valdez to Fairbanks was caught in the storm. Unable to
