Some trains are moving in these

the tie up was almost complete.
Approximately $500 men are out
in and about Los Angeles. About
thirty-five men are out at San Diego
and like numbers are out at Bakers
field and Fresno, reports showed. In
San Francisco about 1900 men are

THE men are not striking" Sproule
told the United Press. They are re-
signing as individuals. II is hard to
ascertain why they are doing this.
They say they are quitting in sympa-
thy with employees of the Pacific
Electric. I have every confidence the
men are going out thru a misappre-
hension and that when they take
council with their advisers they will
return. There is no adequate reason
for their action. So far as the gov
eminent is concerned II is universally
conceded its attitude unwarrants any
thing but reliable service by the men,"

Chicago, Aug. 27.-The Tribune: GRAIN:
A majority of the local traders can see
nothing but bearish conditions and an ir-
regular recession In values. The faYorite
argument is that conditions are not right
for a renewal Of bull markets and that
everything bullish has been well worked
out At the same time there is no pressure
of cash corn on the market. There was
only 10000 bushels of contract corn in CHI
cago Saturday night and 5000 bushels
were withdrawn on Monday. This makes
the position unfavorable for September
shorts. While there has been considerable
selling of local traders of late on the offer

are not low when everything is considered.

HUN SUBSEA BOAT
sunk by CHASER

The sinking Of a German subsea
boat by an American chaser is one Of
the unique and startling features
shown n'"Under Four Flags" the y.
S. official war picture, detailing the
activities Of the Allies on the several
fighting fronts, just issued by the Di-
vision of Films, and Committee on
Public Information.
In this bit Of war realism the trail
of the Hun submarine is plainly
shown and the ripple made by its
periscope can be distinctly followed.
Overhead is a hydroplane, which drops
bomb upon the trail of the undersea
pirate, while darting back and forth IS
a big sub-chaser.
One is able to follow the maneuvers
of the chaser pilot He does not ap-
proach too close to the quarry; he is
teasing the enemy. The submarine
suhmerges. Suddenly the chaser turns,
makes q wide sweep and then darts
straight as an arrow, with the speed
of an express train, directly over the
sub and drops a depth bomb. 1t
misses.
Again the chaser whirls, turns and
comes back with almost incredible
Speed. But now the sub has become
alarmed It's periscope momentarily
reappears and then is lost to view.
Over the ripping water the chaser
drives and drops a second bomb.
! There is moment of expectancy.
Then up from the depths of the ocean
there comes great water spout, and
as it settles ring of oil appears upon
| the water widening out under the eye
of the camera, and showing where an
other Hun submarine has gone to the
! bottom. r... :.
I Those who see "Under Four Flags"
when it is exhibited at Normal Audi
torium Nov IA will experience new
thrill at this sensational sinking OF
a Hun subsea boat. 1t Is, however,
only one of many thrilling incidents in
this latest government picture, which
visualizes the Allies fighting their
way to freedom from auteeraey and
tmilitarism.

VALLEY HOTEL
CHANGES HANDS
Many changes besides the weather

Many changes besides the weather
and woman's mind are going on in
Valley City these days, business
changes being many. Among the lat
est is that Of the Valley Hotel where
Mine Host c. E. Hamilton, who for the
past few years has built up a fine
business and who now has ii cut
that business to Lewis Lolliug, for
merly proprietor Of the Old City Cafe.
Mr.. Lolling is now in charge Of the
business. The cafe part will be closed
down t. give the new proprietor an
opportunity to remodel and refix the
interior until about April first. Mr..
Lolling is going down TO st. Paul
soon to buy new fixtures, a new range
and other things to make this a 1irst-
class and modern cafe, and when it is
reopencd the new proprietor tells the
scribe there will be no finer or otter
cafe in the city. The rooms will be
kept open all the time for the public
and the cafe part closed only few
days. Mr.. Lolling will undoubtedly
have a regular opening when ne is
ready to do business. Mr.. Hamilton
and family we understand will move
back to Fargo where Mr.. Hamilton
expects to go back into the mercan-
tile business. In his going the city
,loses a booster and good business
man and the Times Record wishes for
him and his family much success.
