regard by quoting from an act passed
by Congress in 1916 calling on the
President to approach the other pow
ers with a view to establishing an
international concert for preservation
of peace.
The resolution also omits any pro-
vision to ratify formally the treaty,
but it seeks to establish peace be-
tween the United States and Germany
by declaring the declaration of a state
of war repealed and peace restored
as soon as three of the great powers
and Germany have ratified the treaty.
The clause designed to retain the
treaty's material benefits is in gen
eral terms. but it's effect would be, it
was said. to confirm the title of the
United States to the German ships
and other property taken from the
enemy.
Aim of the Republicans.
The republican leaders were anx-
lous to get the resolution into the
Senate today, but there was no indi-
cation that they intended to press it
seriously until after the holiday re-
cess. When the Senate reassembles
early in January. however. it is eX
pected to be brought forward as a
compromise proposal at the same
time that negotiations for ratification
of the treaty with compromise reser-
vationS are proceeding.
The provision to retain the material
benefits of the treaty is understood to
have been inserted to meet the demo-
cratic argument that without rati-

title to all of the German property
seized and would forego other advan-

TRepubIican Al Leased wirel

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.--Mexican ban dits July 19 blew up a passenger train between Huamintla and San Marcos, less than 100 miles from Mexico City, killing about SO persons. including 12 boys from the German college at Pu- eblo. according to private advices re: ceived here tonight by the association for protection of American rights in Mexico.

 Explosion of two bombs directly un. der the train was followed by rifle fire on the terrified passengers from ap- proximately 300 bandits, the advices stated. The engine and express car. freed from the rest of the train by the explosion sped to the nearest station to report the attack it was said.
 According to the report. wounded passengers were killed by the bandits, who crushed their skulls with stones. Eight German college boys who were not killed were carried away by the brigands
 Federal troops finally arrived on the scene, it was added, and succeeded in killing many members of the band.

POLK SAYS TREATY
 WILL BE RATIFIED

PARIS, Aug. 1.-(Havas)-F L. Polk, American assistant secretary of the state and head of the American peace delegation here, told a group of French newspapermen today that the United States senate committee on for eign affairs would complete it's report on the German treaty by the middle of August and that the senate would not take more than two weeks to ratify it.
 Admiral kolchak, head of the Omsk- all-Russian government, will be given moral and even material aid by the United States.
 Questioned about the disposition of Thrace, the American secretary said that as the question is pending before the peace conference, he could not dis cuss it. The matter of an American mandate for Constantinople, he de- clared is a matter for congress to de- eide, as such procedure is new in American history. He said it is not certain that the government would ac- cept such a mandate. He declined to discuss the Shantung question.

BRITAIN MOVES ID
 REDUCE FOOD COST
JRepubIicsn A. p. Leased wire1

LONDON, Aug. 1.-(By the Associ- ated Press)-Steps toward interna- tional collective purchasiue of food stuffs to check profiteering and spec ulation, which are declared to be rife in all countries, were taken today by the supreme economic council. The return to the system in vogue during the war was proposed by the British, French and Italian representatives. The proposal was referred to a com mittee which will coordinate the plan and present it to the American gov- ernment with an investigation for it's cooperation.
 The members of the council stated they recognized that profiteering and speculation had been going on general ly for some time, but the activities toward unwarranted price raising dur ing the past 30 days is considered alarming. This was due, the members believed. to sharp fall in the harvest prospects in the past month. It was pointed out there wis no reason to believe there was not sufficient food to last throughout 1920 and there was no reason for the undue advance of prices. All the members of the council agreed it was necessary for the United States to cooperate in the collective buying plan because at the present time the United States is supplying such great quantities of food to Europe that the collective system without the United States would virtually be pit ting the buyer against the seller.

SHOPMEN RECEIVE WILSON'S
 PROPOSAL NICELY
[Repubiican A. p. Leased wIre1

CHICAGO, August 1. - President Wilson's request today that congress create commission to consider wage increases for railway employees was favorably received by officers of the Chicago district council of the Feder- ated Shopmen's union, of Chicago. which called a nation wide strike of railway shopworkers at 10 o'clock this morning. Press dispatches stated the president had suggested that any proper wage increase be made retro active to August 1, 1919 and the local shopmen's leaders declared that they would remain firm for retroaction to January 1, 1919.
 The Shopmen'S strike, according to today's reports, was chiefly effective in the middle west and southeast and in the latter section alone 35,000 men had laid down their tools, according to union advices. All over the country, and especially in the middle west, union locals were voting tonight on the strike proposal Tomorrow will see big increase in the number of men on strike, union officials believe.
 The local unions had .disregarded the advice of their officers at Washington who have been conferring with the railroad administration and who yes terday instructed the men not to strike. The request for increased wages from 6S to S5 cents an hour for machinists and from AS to so cents an hour for heplers, was made the frs, of the current year, the union men said.

(Continued from Page One) ness continued to be an important fac tor in the deficit, combined with in- creases in rates which have been on much lower basis than increases in wages and prices of materials.
 More lncome-More Deficit
 The bureau of railway economies made public figures showing that rev. enues in the first six months of this year amounted to $2.352, ,949000 as compared with s1.665, 151, 900 for the same length of time during the test period an increase of 41 per cent. Net operating income, however, has been about 50 per cent less, due to increases of 7S per cent in expenses and 12 per cent in taxes.
 In the face of the growing deficit, the railroad administration now has before it demands for increased wages which would mean an addition of be- tween $s00,000,000 and S1,000,000,000 to the payrolls. All of the demands are backed by statistics with the pur- pose of showing that steadily mount ing prices for all things which a man eats or wears have wiped out all pre- vious advances, leaving the employees worse off financially than they were before.

OSCAR HAMMERSTE|N, NOTED RESAR|O
 AND INVENTOR, |S DEAD
IRepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel

NEW YORK, August 1-Uscar Ham, merstein, theatre builder and producer of grand opera, died in a hospital here tonight of a complication of diseases, after an illness of several days.
 Mir. Hammerstein had been in a state of coma since late Monday after noon, and died without regaining con- sciousness. His wife and son, Arthur. were at his bedside when the end came at 7:30 o'clock.
 Oscar Hammersteins chief claim to fame as an impresario and theatrical manager, it has been said, will rest in the fact that he set new records for presenting grand operas of composers never before heard in America and that he introduced to the western musical world singers who afterwards won great names for themselves.
 MT. Hammerstein was born in Ber- lin, Germany, in 1S47, and came to the United States in 1883, as he later wrote, ito be free" Arrived in New York, he became a cigarmaker's ap- prentice.
 He always had great love for the theatre.
 Early in life he became associated with Adolph Neuendorf, manager of a Bowery theatre. He wrote three riays

bout 1870, all of which were produce

about 1870, all of which were produced there.
 Before this, MT. Hammerstein had made a little money in Harlem real es- tate and invested it wisely. Later he became silent partner of '-' Iendorf in the control of the Fourteenth Street theatre, where German plays were pre- sented The first theatre he n tilt in Harlem lost s20O.000 in three years but the promoter never lost heart. He built another one and made money. Similar ventures were undertaken and were successful.
 In 1895 he paid s1,00o,o00 for the site of the Olympia theatre and put an- other million into the building. Yvette Guilbert opened it and for a time il was a big money-maker, but failed at last.
 While engaged in writing operas ai'i finding new prima donnas and men singers, he utilized his spare time as an inventor, some of his labor saving devices bringing him handsome roy alties.
 The Harlem opera house was built in 1880. This was followed by the erection of the Columbus theatre, Man haitian opera house, Olympia (now New York theatre). Victoria theatre. Belasco theatre and the New Opera House. For many years the Metro politan Opera company had a clear field and on December 3, 1906, when Mir. Hammerstein began as competi- tor with the Manhattan Opera com pany, he was met with many prophe-- cies of failures.
 Among the opera singers he engaged, who were stars of the first vocal magnitude at the time or became so later partly as a result of MT. Ham, merstein's leadership, were Edouard and Jean de Reszke, Mary Garden Luise Tetrazzini, Eleanor de cicneros Maurice Renaud, Mario Sammarco

A New WaIk-Out

HUNTINGTON, W. Va, August 1.- Two thousand employees of the Chesa- peake and Ohio railroad shops here went on strike late today. The men claim that the wage agreement, ex- pected several days ago was not forthcoming. Boilermakers and help CTS, car repairers and helpers, ma- chinists and tin-fitters are the strikers.
 The ranks of the strikers were aug mented tonight when the electrical workers and their helpers walked out. The strike here is not a local affair, according to union leaders who claim that before morning every shop on the Chesapeake and Ohio will be shut down.
