IS IMMINENT TODAY
10y international News service.)

Icy international News Service.)
New York, April 16.-The COM
plete collapse Of the insurgent rail
road strike in the east was believed
imminent today, following the ulti-
matum OF the railroads that strikers
must return to work on Saturday
noon or forfeit their jobs and their
roster and seniority rights.
The immediate effect of the ul-
timatum was a considerable back-to-
work movement among the strikers.
The flremen who have been on
strike decided to stick by their bro
therhocd and return to work. Some
of the insurgents still held out but
their chances of making deal
was very remote.

ARMY BAND scopcFs
CONTINUED SUCCESS
Their Music Is Highly Appre-
cited-Play At Dance
Tonight.

Another excellent concert was
played Thursday night at Central
Opera House by the Fifth Engin-
GERS Band. now here on recruiting
duty, and Major II. V. Pittman made
ing in the United States Army. He
gave a brief description of the uni
versities of engineering maintained
by the government at Camp Hum
phreys, Va, and Camp Funston, I'M
der the auspices of the U. S. Engin-
eers, wonderful opportunities also
for technical and vocational edu-
cation open to the alert young man
or his older brother who has never
had a fair chance to obtain an edu-
cation. In addition to the concert
there were three clever acts of
vaudeville, bright and snappy, and
the result was the Base Ball Club
again was substantially benefited.
Tonight the band will play for the
benefit dance OF the ball club that
will be held on the second floor of
Thornwood Hall with Miss Alice
Shoemaker as floor leader and Off
GERS of the local club in charge of
affairs. Prior to the dance an i'm
promptu reception will be held in
honor OF the band and for the pur-
pose of giving all an opportunity to
meet Major Pittman and other mem
bers of the recruiting party In Mar
tinsburg. 1t is expected that the
major can be prevailed upon to
make brief talk. He is pleasing
speaker and, like most army officers,
he is a man of few but expressive
words.
The band will remain here tomor.
row and tomorrow night, leaving for
Keyser. They have given the COM
munity some very pleasing music
during their stay in Martinsburg
and it is believed their visit has
given an impetus to recruiting. or
late the people have gained much
better conception of the Y. S. Army
and the younger men and youths are
awakening to the advantages Uncle
Sam offers.
Numerous concerts have been
played by the band in various parts
OF the city and the band men have
made fine impression upon all.
