Washington, Aug. 28.—The nar-
row escape of a ship’s crew from
death, and the salvage of the ship
itself from destruction through the
burning of a cargo of 8,597 tons of
naphtha and benzine, is recorded in
the “Canal Record.”
The La Pabra caught fire last
Friday from a short circuit in the
North Atlantic on a heavy sea.
The gasoline tanks caught fire and
the crew took to the boats. But,
as the tanks exploded, the heavy
seas washed the oil out and thus
extinguished the fire.
The ship was brought into port,
and the loss of life was five of
the crew who had taken to one bf
the small boats.

Germany Recognizes the Force of Pub-

By Associated Press.
London, Aug. 28.—The Daily News to-

submarine which sank the steamship
Arabic has itself been sunk since, and
that therefore Germany’s disavowal or
the action of the underwater boat com-
mander becomes comparatively easy.
The editorial continues:
“Thfere is not the slightest reason to
suppose that Dr. von Bethmann-Holl -
weg (German imperial chancellor) sanc-
tioned the attack upon the Arabic.'The
sinking of the Arabic may be assumed
with some degree of certainty to have
been the trick of his opponents, the
Tirpitzites, designed quite as much to
embarrass him as to drive America to
action.”
The paper says that the “submis-
sion of official Germany to the United
States’ demands- is a fact of historic
importance involving at least recogni-
tion of the force of public opinion and
insofar justifies President Wilson’s pa-
tient diplomacy.”

hardly deemed necessary to keep them
open longer. All cases of relief in the
future will be handled through the reg-

although the committee will continue
to meet regularly in the office at Adoue
and Lobit 'bank during next week.

WORKERS ARE BLIND.
Responsibility for the conditions un-
der which they live was placed pri-
marily upon the workers themselves,
who, “blind to their collective strength,
and oftentimes deaf to the cries of their
followers, have suffered exploitation
and the invasion of their most sacred
rights without, resistance.”
The text of the report follows:
“Charged by your honorable body
with an investigation to discover the
underlying causes of dissatisfaction in
the industrial situation, were herewith
present the following findings and con-
clusions, and we urge for them the
most earnest consideration, not only by
the, congress, but by the people of the
nation, to the end that evils which
threaten to defeat American ideals and
to destroy the well being of the nation
may be generally recognized and effec-
tively attacked.
“We find the basic cause of indus-
trial dissatisfaction to be low wages,
or, stated in another way, the fact that
the workers of the nation, through
compulsory and oppressive methods,
legal and illegal, are denied the full
product of their toil.

London, Aug. 28.—As the Russian
armies continue to retreat, the foreign
and war ministries at Petrograd deny,
vigorously that their government has
any thought of making a separate peace
with the central powers. Special dis-
patches from Petrograd state that the
Russians are on the point of digging
themselves in.
Military writers at the Russian capi-
tal are of the opinion that the Ger-
man turning movement in Courland is
not likely to threaten Petrograd se-
riuosly this autumn, as Field Marshal
von Hindenburg apparently has made
no progress in his efforts to secure
' control of the Baltic coast. The latest
news from that region, however, indi-
cates that Germany has not given up
the plan for naval cooperation toward
this end. Berlin reports that German
warships bombarded at two points,

trance to the Gulf of Finland.
there is no disagreement among the al-
lied commanders, and that, while a
German soldier remains on Russian soil,
there can be no peace.
The greatest interest is displayed
here in reports from Washington of the
negotiations between the United States
and Germany concerning the Arabic in-
cident. Most of the newspapers con-
sider that the president has won a
diplomatic success, the effect of which,
on the whole question of submarine
warfare, is certain to be momentous.

aid. This aid will be given in the
form of a loan and this part of the re-
lief work will be actively taken up by
tne committee next week, and will be
cared for until all of those in actual
need have been given assistance.
Several of the members of the com-
mittee reported that the announcement
that the commissaries were to close
tonight had met with universal appro-
val, apparently. It seems tht repre-
sentatives of labor organizations and
others with whom the committee have
talked in regard to this matter, are of
the opinion that the majority of the
storm sufferers were now beginning
to feel that they were able to stand
on their own feet again.
At a meeting of the central relief
committee held last evening at 5 o’clock
little other than usual routine busi-
ness was transacted. On a motion by
Frank Allen this morning, the regular
5 o’clock meeting for this afternoon,
was postponed until the regular 11
o’clock meeting of the organization for
Monday mroning. Among those attend-
ing the meeting this morning were
Judge John Harris, Chairman H. H.
Haines, S. Sgitcovich, Father J. M. Kir-
win, F. W. Catterall, Judge Robert G.
Street and Frank Allen.
Artillery Engagements Feature Day on
French Front.
By Associated Press.
Paris, Aug. 28.—The French war of-
fice today gave out this statement:
“Last night saw some artillery en-
gagements around Souchez, Neuville
and Roye.
“There was also fighting with bombs
on the plateau of Quennevieres and the
plateau of Nouvron.
“In the Argonne our artillery checked
several endeavors of the enemy to bom-
bard our trenches. The night passed
without incident on the remainder or
the front.
“French aviators, during the night,
bombarded the railroad station at
Chatel-en-Argonne.”
SPIRIT AMONG MILLIONS.
“Among these millions and their
leaders we have encountered a spirit
religious in its fervor and in its
willingness to sacrifice for a cause
held sacred. And we earnestly submit
that only in the light of this spirit can
the aggressive propaganda of the dis-
contented be understood and judged.
The extent and depth of industrial
unrest can hardly be exaggerated.
State and national conventions of labor
organizations, numbering many thou-
sands of members, have cheered the
names of leaders imprisoned for par-
ticipation in a campaign of violence,
conducted as one phase of a conflict
with organized employers. Thirty
thousand workers in a single strike
have followed the leadership of men
who denouced government and called
for relentless warfare on organized
society. Employers from coast to
coast have created and maintained
small private armies of armed men
and have used these forces to intimi-
date and suppress their striking em-
ployes by deporting, imprisoning as-
saulting, and killing their leaders
Elaborate spy systems are maintained
to discover and forestall the move-
ments of the enemy. The use of state
troops in policing strikes has bred a
bitter hostility to the militia system
among members of labor organizations
and states have been unable to enlist
wage earners for this second line of
the nation’s defense.

securities from London to New York
passed through here today on a special
train. It was said here that it con-
sisted of bonds to the value of $25,-
000,000 and $19,000,000 in gold.
The gold and securities were placed
on a heavily guarded train at Halifax,
where, it was understood, they had ar-
rived on a British battleship, guarded
by a convoy of smaller craft. The train
was made up of six steel express cars,
a dining car and a coach, and carried
38 express guards.
The shipment was being forwarded in
much the same manner as was the first
consignment early in August, when
$52,000,000 in gold and securities were
sent from London and deposited in the
subtreasury in New York to the ac-
count of J. P. Morgan & Co., the fiscal
agents of the British government.
After Mayor Fisher had stated the
purpose of the meeting, he caljed on
Col. Riche, who agreed that there was
a necessity for getting a permane.it
new main across the bay and suggest-
ed that for the work there should be
retained a capable engineer, prefer-
ably one with some knowledge of
submerged mains.
Mr. Jacobs told of submerged main
work done in New York, especially
that between Brooklyn and Staten
Island, by the water supply board of
New York. This main was laid at such
a depth that it never will be dis-
turbed. Mr. Jacobs thought conditions
to be met here not so difficult, though
he advised getting in communicaion
with those in charge of the New York
work, for the sake of information.
This, it was decided, will be done.
Captain Grant agreed with Mr. Ja-
cobs in that some study of the require-
ments for proposed underwater main
construction should precede the be-
ginning of actual work.

Amsterdam, via London, Aug. 28.
—The Berlin Voewaerts, in discuss-
ing the new German war loan, di-
rects attention to what is charac-
terized as the alarming financial
situation which Germany must face
at the conclusion of the war.
“After the war,” says the paper,
“the imperial debt and pensions alone
will demand an additional expendi-
ture of at least $625,000,000, or a
little less than the united ordinary
and extraordinary imperial expendi-
ture for 1912. In other Words, the
income of the empire hitherto will
only suffice to pay the interest on
the national debt. For all other
expenses new sources of taxation
must be created. Whoever remem-
bers the taxation controversy of
1908 and 1909 can easily imagine
into what internal. political diffi-
culties the wax is bringing us.’.’

Brownsville, Tex., Aug’. 28.—The 20
Held at Mayor Fisher’s office in the
Trust building at noon, the conference
of city officials and eminent engineers
called to discuss the water problem
was attended by three members of the
board of city commissioners and by a
number of technical experts. Briefly,
the results of the consultation may be
summarized as follows:
Determination to begin immediately
the gathering of information bearing
upon the proposed construction of a
permanent and effective new submerg-
ed main across the bay.
Deferring of action upon the proposed
appointment of a board of consulting-
engineers to make immediate definite
recommendations, it having been ad-
vised by at least two of the engineers
that probably the nature of the intend-
ed reconstruction of the- causeway
should first be taken into consideration.
Mayor Fisher said he would not appoint.
a board of consulting engineers today;
Informal approval of steps now be-
ing taken to repair the damaged 30-
inch main across the causeway in an
effort to get immediate water relief,
as being the most feasible plan of ac-
tion under existing circumstances. It
was stated that practically all hope of
obtaining relief by repairing the broken
submerged main had vanished.

insula at the Dardanelles, so far as
