q. S. FLEET IN SAN DIEGO
Dreadnaughts and Other Battle Craft
Steam Into Their First Home
Port of the Pacific.

San Diego, CAL, Aug. 7.-Steaming
In silence and with the majestic
dreadnaughts surrounded by Gordon
of darling destroyers, Admiral Hugh
Rodman's epoch-making Pacific fleet
entered California waters and at dawn
entered San Diego harbor. The line Of
ocean monsters hardly were visible
from the main land as they pierced the
ocean mist and dropped anchor. The
officers and men of the fleet completed
their plans for entering the first home
port of the Pacific under a barrage of
flowers today. And this city awaited
with the nervous eagerness of school
girl on graduation day the arrival Of
those thousands of officers and gobs

PRESIDENT WILSON In
APPEAL TO THE HOUSE
Executive Puts Rail Wage Question
Up to Congress-Men Ask
Big Raise.

Washington, Aug. 2.-President
Wilson asked congress to create
special investigating commission to
pass on the wage increases asked by
the railway shopmen and other rail-
way employees.
The president forwarded to Senator
Cummins and Representative Esch,
chairmen respectively Of the house
and senate interstate commerce COM
mittees, the proposal made originally
by Director General Hines and asked
that provision be made for representa-
ton of both labor and the public on
the body.
The president asked congress to
stipulate, In it's legislation, that II
wage increases are allowed under Its
award, it should be mandatory on the
rate-making authority to increase rail-
road rates enough to meet the adj
vances.
President Wilson asked Speaker Gil
lett Of the house to postpone it's re-
cess until definite action was taken
on his request that congress set up
committee to pass upon wage In
creases asked for by railroad en-
ployees. An identical letter wos sent
to Representative Mondell, the Repub-
lican floor leader.
Director General Hines Informed
the president that inasmuch as the
increases being asked by all classes
of railroad workers aggregated $780,
100000 a year, he hoped something
might be done to reduce the cost Of
living as an alternative, because he
doubted that his powers were sufti-
Gent to increase rates enough to meet
the vast sum.

RUSSIA MAY GET PART
OF THE WAR INDEMNITY
Senate Committee Told That Only Con-
dition Is Restoration of Stable
Government.

Washington, Aug. 5.-Norman Davis,
one Of the financial advisers to the
American peace delegation, told the
senate foreign relations committee that
he regarded it as likely that Russia
would participate in the indemnity to
be paid by Germany in the event that
it organized a stable government.
Russia made a tremendous contri-
button toward winning the war" Mr..
Davis said, land it was the general
feeling that the door should not be
closed completely to her in the event a
stable government was organized"
Mr.. Davis testified that the real rea-
sons why the peace conference set no
definite reparation total for Germany
to pay were largely political"
Asked what he meant by political
reasons, Mr.. Davis said:
''The people of Europe are still suf-
fering from shell shock. They have
been carrying tremendous burdens.
They have been led to believe that they
will receive more than Germany's bill
would amount to-"
The witness thought it would take
about two years to reach final agree
ment as to Germany's total bill.
1T was largely a question" he
said, "of how much the powers could
afford to have Germany pay. To in
crease her resources she must curtail
imports and enlarge her exports. Great
Britain and France would become a
dumping ground for her exported prod
ucts.
eff it was decided Germany should
pay $4,000, 100000 I think by the time
she had paid $1O,OOO,OO0,o00 or $15,-
100000 those governments would
be squealing to have her quit"
