mST Bf'ILDlXG WASHINGTON, D. Aug. 16. In a memorandum ent to President Wilson late tonight, the managers' committee, representing the railroad employers of the country, announced that it was absolutely impossible for them to accept and put into practice the principle of an eight-hour day without some form of arbitration. The memorandum was in the nature of a final reply to President Wilson's re quest that th railroads concede an eight-hour day, with the same pay that pre- vans for a ten-hour day, but leamg the proposed time-and-a-half pay for over- mination.

Arbitration was suggested by the railroads as the solution of the threatened strike in their memorandum. It was ptated that the roje would agree to any kind of arbitration. They -would abandon their plea for arbitration by the Interstate Commerce Commission and agree to the appointment of a commission by the President himself. It was even suggested that the roads would accept a commission composed of members of Congress and would abide by any decision reached, even though it should mean a complete award of the eight-hour day and pay and a half for overtime to the 400,000 employes. Would Mean a Year They even said they would be willing to have the award date from today.

They; insisted that it would mean an addition of $100,000,0 to the annual payroll. but that they were willing to make this addition if any government body or mm-mission, after an investigation, should order such an As the trustees of the ronl railroad owners, fhe hundreds of thousands of stockholders, the railroads said they could not grant the President's request that they yield and at once grant an eight-hour day of their own volition. The President is working tonight on his plans for the settlement of the threatened strike, and will submit it to representatives of the managers and employes tomorrow. Although administration officials said negotiations would be continued until a peaceful solution was found, the outcome of the President raediatiou is expected to depend largely on the attitude of the two sides toward the plan he ha? drawn up. Urges Eight-hour Day The proposition which is being framed by the President following conferences with the managers and employes since Monday morning proposes that the railways should concede the eight-hour workday, with an agreement that it will be observed.

Iater it probably will be proposed that a Federal Commission appointed by the President or created by Congress investigate all problems which have arisen during the present discus- sion. The chief obstacles in the way of ac ceptance of the plan lie in the insistence of the railroad mauagers on arbitra tion and their opposition to an eipht- hour day, and in the demand of the employes for extra pay ot time and a half for over-time. Whether the two sides will give in on these points constituted the chief danger in the situation tonight. The six hundred and twenty-two delegates, who have the tinal say so far as the brotherhoods of engineers, conductors, firemen and brakemen are concerned, arrived in two sections tonight, half of them on the Baltimore and Ohio, and the other half on the Pennsylvania Kail-road. The railroads furnished them free transportation and arranged for special cars for them.

They made it known at once that they would not accept arbitration, which is the point which their employers have been insisting on. They still maintain that they would not accept the President's proposition is for the immediate granting of an S-hour day, with a later adjudication of pav and a half for overtime. They still seem insistent upon a strike unless their full demands are granted without arbitration. At 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon the President will meet the entire general committee of 640 in the East Room of the White House and lay before them his plan. He will accompany it with a statement, appealing to their patriot- unearthed.

Two of the men taken into custody were operating this plant, it was alleged. According to the secret service men the counterfeiters apparently were well supplied with money, their outfit alone having cost upward of The scheme, the government agents said they were informed, was to manufacture the $1,000,000 in spurious bills, then destroy the plant before attempting to dispose of the bogus money. Seventy photographic negatives of genuine bills -already had been made and the impressions transferred to gelatine and wax plates. Some of these, after having been electroplated, had been etched. Pieces of silk and human hair also were used in the process of making the counterfeits.

Chief Flynn declared tonight that the ringleader of the alleged conspiracy is an expert phpto-engraver and etcher. The work of fitting up the plant, it was said, began several months ago. Secret service men brought here from Scranton, 8t. Lonia, Cincinnati and Washington had been "shadowing" the suspects ome time, accordiirto tha sscrcy' terries if terests of the people ot the To Meet R. R.

Managers First While no time has been set for a conference between the managers' committee and the President, is thought piobahlo it will take place tomorrow morning. When Mr. Wilson seeH the managers he will make practically the same statement he will deliver to the employes, paying particular attention, however, to trTe pomt he feels the mftn-asei a ahoiild coin ed e. The poilim ot the is tha' thpv make the concession asked br the President an iromns" eoncewiou which thev describ" as one sided it will he the end of arbitration as a means of njtrd Slateg. Henceforth, they say.

ail that a powerful union will hare threaten to strike on the eve of an election and force their employers to yield. Arbitration Is on Trial The principle of arbitration is meeting the supreme lest. It will be on trial tomorrow, whn President iU'on makes his appeais on behalf i the American public for the acceptance of the plan, which he is perfecting tonight, and whjf'i has a its bais the "surrender of the railroads to the eight-hour day prin- cipl. Whether he will coupie witn his pro-pol snme fTin of arbitration i a matter of doubt. Whether be ran evolve some plan tor hnancH! relief to the railroads also i a matter of doubt.

TN THE SECTOR, BATTLE OF THE Aug. 1 (by eourier to ia Amsterdam and London, Aug. 16). The battle rages on. Ceaselessly the big guns murmur, thunder and roar hoarsely, -hour after hour, day and night, battering, smashing, drilling, boring way at the intrepid German front.

It is a battle symphony of death. The brazen orchestra never ceases. Seven long weeks ago it was placed on this line. Tne eighth is just beginning. The end is not in Roar of the Battle All day it pounds and thunders in one's eaiv.

One goes to sleep with the guns bellowing, and wakes up if they pause. At times they die down, grow faint and low, as if weary, and then, as if the invisible baton of the battle directors were encouraging and urging them on, the chorus grows, first here, then there, north, then south, until the grand climax of the terrible crescendo is reached, when thousands of guns chime in. It is wonderfully grand; it is awful; it is appalling, it is fascinating. There is no rest. Only toward dawn, and in the foggy hours of the mornings does the cannonade die down, as if the gnus were exnausteu.

omeiuing nwe sleep then the battle line, but the surgeons are busy behind with the wounded brought back under cover of the fog. The moment the fog lifts somewhat he guns burst forth all along the line, as if thev had been impatiently tugging at their leash, waiting to get one another, ike frenzied dogs. The French and English artillery is superb. 1 take my nat on to it, out still more so to those German lines, which stand that frightful battering and hammering, day and night, with a spirit to uo or die. the theological lieu has no terrors lor those who survive this inferno.

Mass of British Artillery The French and English, especially the English, seem to have enormous masses ot artillery, much ot which is of the heaviest types; huge mortars and even naval guns, if one can judge from the detonations 1 have heard, and the craters and havoc 1 have seen. The German artillerv is not one whit inferior to the French and English in service, accuracv and effect. The German artillerv. as I observed it. fires slowly and deliberately in the dailv duels, except when "drumming." or when a barrier curtain is laid before or be hind an oncoming wave in a charge by the Allies, when as many as'lGOO shells and shrapnel are.

If Played With by Un- couth Monster Deluge of Shells, With Great Puffs of Cloud From the Bursting Shrapnel BY FRED PITNEY Special Cable to Inquirer, Copyright, by the Sew York Tribune. PARIS, August 16. I returned today from a visit to the French front in the Somrae offensive and part of the front extending south toward Soissons from the actual ene of the present erations. It is probable this southern sector -will be the next part of the German lines to fall before the 'methodically advancing French forces.

xms visit saw an details ot tne gigantic organization that goes to make up a modern victorious offensive. I crossed the ground captured in the first five days of the great attack and crept slowly forward into the very centre of the bombardment which the huge organization in the rear feeds unremittingly night and day. If you Avill lay out' a parallelogram thirty miles deep by tifty miles long and put at its northeastern corner a bulging are with a chord twejve miles long and a curve of twenty-six miles you will have approximately the ground covered by the field, of battle and the services of the rear that feed the fighting lines. All roads from the parallelogram lead into the arc. They approach the chord of the arc as sticks of a fan lead down to the handle, and crossing the chord, spread out again fanwise to touch every point of the first lines.

Like the "Iron Maiden'' We came into the battlefield from the north. Leaving Amiens we hurried in a small group of military automobiles down a long straight Roman road to 8t. Ouentin (sentences missing), with old tools of. the Spanish inquisition, begjnr ning with thumb screws and progressing by rack and wheel to the "Iron Maiden," whose steel spiked corset is lowly clamped upon the body. Not far from Amiens we were held up at a railroad crossing by a hospital train, which went by with all the windows and doors open to catch the least stirring of the dust-laden, superheated air.

The "sitting caes" were in the doorways and in the bunks on the side of the cars, in tiers three deep. We saw row on row of feet, no heads, no bodies, no arms or legs, but only row after row of feet, of wounded men. The last cat-of the train was an operating car, and as it passed us a white-aproned surgeon stood in the door, minutely examining the blade of an instrument. 1 remembered the train later as it stood at night in the unligted etreetsx of Amiens and Continued on 5th Page, 2d Col.
