RUSSIANS AGAIN RESUME MARCH [Continued From First l'a^-e] berg from the east and southeast. This offensive movement has shown signs of a temporary slackening during the last few days, and It now apears that the Russian thrust at KOvel, a vital point in the Teutonic defensive line because of its importance as a railway center, is again being given precedence by the Russian command. Hard Fighting In West On the western tront heavy fighting continues in the Somme region and at Verdun. North of the Somme the Entente Allies, after their gains of yesterday when they scored successes at several points between Pozieres and the river are busy withstanding coun ter attacks. The French reports to day declare the Germans were repuls ed repeatedly after violent fighting. Northeast of Verdun the Germans have been forced of the remainder of the ruined edge of the village of Fleury which they occupied, Paris announces. Stubborn fighting is continuing along this sector of the Verdun front. Italians Hold Austiians Southeast of Gorizia the Austrians are determinedly facing the Italians and have now begun counter attacks In effort to prevent a further advance of the Duke of Aosta's armies towards Triest. To-day's bulletin from Rome announces the prompt checking of an attack on the left wing of the Italian positions on the Carso Plateau. Unable to Confirm Report That Crown Prince Is Hart By Associated Fress Paris, Aug. 19. The report that the German Crown Prince, Frederick William, is wounded and is in a hos pital at Verdun is authoritatively denied. The report that he has been wound ed is based upon a Zurich dispatch to the Italia of Milan saying that a Swiss officer returning from the German frontier was told bv a German officer that the Crown Prince had been wounded in the head and one of his legs with splinters of a shell and that he was being treated In an unnamed hospital. No confirmation of this re port is obtainable here. Germans About to Launch Naval Attack in Baltic London, Aug. lft. The Germans i.re about to launch a naval attack in the Baltic near the Riga section, according to Swedish reports which reached here. During the German drive last Fall the Kaiser's fleet drove back the Rus sians into the Gulf of Riga. Skir mishes between Russian and German mosquito fleets have been frequent in the last few months. These reports suggest to London ob servers that the sea attack may be linked with a great counter blow along the Divina line. There has been talk lately that the German thrust would aim to push past Dvinsk and Riga and move toward Petrograd. Portuguese Are Ready and Anxious to Actively Take Part in Great Struggle Paris, Aug. 19. "Portugal is to day a vast field of maneuvers," says Major Norton Mattos, the Portuguese Minister of War. in an interview with the correspondent of the Journal. "Portugal being in a state of war with Germany and Austria, wants to take part in the war In the most direct form, and in a fraternity of arms, "We are preparing with all our forces to take this direct part in the fight. T he mobilization of the army was received with enthus iasm and has not developed one de serter, and we are continuing to raise men. We have now about 1,500 offi cers. "Regarding munitions, our ef fort is similar. A great part of our national Industry is in the service of the army. Already we have settled the urgent problem of transports and truck and soon we will be ready." Allies Resume Drive on Somme, Breaking Down All German Resistance London, Aug. 19. The German counter blow north of the Somme has been broken and the allies have re sumed their steady push. The French yesterday took by storm a large por tion of Maurepas village and drove forward their- line to the south, while the British advanced nearer Martin puich and Combles, and took further German positions in the region of Gin shy and Guillemont. Meanwhile Petain struck heavily north of Verdun, won part of the vil lage of Fleury and then, widening his thrust, carried two fortified redoubts northwest of the Thiaumont works, on the right bank of the Meuse. Near Vaux, further east, the Germans were also forced back. The Germans are now using their troops sparingly and putting more re liance In their field guns, which have been assembled in great numbers on the Picardy front. This suggests either that the Kaiser's commanders are now confronted •with a shortage of men or that they have decided on a change of tactics. Apparently the Germans have decided to give the allies their turn in the wearing out process which prov ed so disastrous to the Teutons at Ver dun. Russians Push Through Carpathians at Pass and Sweep on to Korosmezo London. Aug. 19. Russian troops have pushed through the Carpathians at the Jablonitza Pass. Last night's commique from Petrograd announces that they have reached the summit of the mountains and are sweeping on to Korosmezo. on the eastern side of the pass. This stroke was foreshadowed by the fall last Tuesday of the village of Jab lonitza and the lines defending the approaches to this important gateway to Hungary. Since the investment of Stanislau and Nadvorna. General Let chitsky's troops have gradually been crushing the Teuton forces against the great mountain wall. Every dav has seen the further retreat of the disor ganized arm of Pflanzer and the conse quent lengthening of its line's as it was pressed back and against the Car pathians. The sharp wedge which the Russians drove into the enemv's front by the capture of the RistriUa-Solotvina line west of Madvorna made untenable vir tually every Austrian defensive posi tion between the Dniester and th° Car pathians east of lumber* Tn nddlMon it slowly threatened to flank the Teu ton forces at both ends. The result was easy to be seen. The Austrians had no alternative hut to fall hack Into the mountains. It was at this stage of operations that the Rus sian commander outgeneraled the °n«my by seizing .Tablonitz.i, the most important line of retreat open to the Austrians and the only means of escape into Hungary for a fifty-mile stretch The Austrian right wing is now trap ped. according to all indications. Lightning Flashes With Guns in Larid Battle Picture By Associated Press With the British Armies on the Somrr.e Front, Aug. 19. The thun ders of the hea\lost rainstorm of the season joined those of the artillery, and flashes of lightning from the heav ens vied with the flashes from the mouths of many guns in a most lurid battle picture In the darkness of the early hours this morning as a finale to yesterday's Anglo-French attack fromj HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH MARKET SPIRITED FOR ENTIRE WEEK Labor Conferences and British Loan Stimulate Trading; Steel Conspicuous New York. Aug. 19. Two develop ments of unusual significance, the rail way labor conferences and the ne,w British loan, were factors of para mount importance in this week's mar ket. Trading was more active than for some months an dthe trend was un mistakably upward in the main. Rails were restrained, however, by the uncertainty attaching to the out come of the controversy between the railway managers and their employes. The course of events at Washington was observed with interest and opinion inclined towards a satisfactory settle ment. United States Steel was con spicuous among the industrials on its advance to 92%. a quotation not ob tained since 1909, when it rose to 94%. The shares of other steel com panies were stimulated to strength and activity, but munitions, motors and various other specialties in a way to suggest profit-taking. To-day's session was mainly devoted to the usual week-end settlement of outstanding professional contracts, these being more numerous betause of the recent activity in speialties. Ma rine and United Fruit were pressed for sale, but increased strength was shown by Allied issues. Atlantic, Golf and West Indies making a new rec ord. with a gain of 5 points for Pacific Mail on the resumption of its Oriental service. Few changes of note occur red In the investment group, rails be ing held in check pending definite word from Washington. There were pains of 2 to 4 points in Fertilizers and Pullman, but leading Industrials, Munitions and Motors were dull. The closing was Irregular. Bonds were steady.

MAKES STATEMENT ON STRIKE CRISIS; [Continued From First Pajce] attitude of the railroad presidents to ask for time to consider the Presi dent's plan was said to be part of this program. The railroad presidents now num bering 33, went to the White House conference without their managers' committee, contrary to expectations and previous announcement. They still held to the view that they had only authority to speak for their own roads and were not vested with the authority to speak for all the lines which the managers' committee has. Majority Unyielding There were many reports of the at titude of the presidents, none of which could be definitely traced to a respon sible source. The prodominant one was that not all the presidents were in favor of holding out against the President's proposition to the point of a strike. The majority, however, were said to be in an unyielding atti tude. Hale Holden, president of the Bur lington. again acted as spokesman and explained why the railroads were in sisting o nthe principle of arbitration. He declared that the principle at stake was much larger than the question of wages and hours involved and that the railroads believed that they owed it to themselves to continue in their present position. OutUncs Settlement Plan While the railroad presidents were in conference with President Wilson to-day, the President gave out a state ment outlining his plan of settlement and saying: "It seems to me a thoroughly practical and entirely fair program and I tnink the public has the right to expect its acceptance." President Wilson statement follows: "I have recommended the conces sion of the eight-hour day—that it. the substitution of an eight-hour day for the present ten-hour day in all the existing practices and agreements. I made this recommendation because I believe the concession right. The eight- hour day now undoubtdly has the sanction of the judgment of so ciety in its favor and should be adopt ed at a basis for wages even where the actual work to be done can not be completed within eight hours. "Concerning the adjustments which should be made, in justice to the rail roads and their stockholders, in the payments and privileges to which their men are now entitled (if such adjustments are nfcessary) there is a wide divergence of opinion.

Not at Disadvantages "The railroads which have already adopted the eight-hour dav do not seem to be at any serious disadvant age in respect of their cost of oper ation as compared with the railroads that have retained the ten-hour day, and calculations as to the cogt of the change must, if >made now, be made without regard to any possible admin istrative economies or readjustments. "Only experience can make It cer tain what rearrangements would be fair, either on behalf of the men or on behalf of the railroads. That ex perience would be a definite guide to the Interstate Commerce Commis sion, for example, in determining whether, as a consequence of the change, it would be necessary and right to authorize an increase of rates for the handling and carriage of freight (for passenger service is not affected). , Public Expects Acceptance I therefore proposed that the de mand for extra pay for overtime made by the men and the contingent pro posals of the railroad authorities be postponed until facts shall have taken the place of calculaUons and forecast with regard to the efTects of a change to the eight-hour day; that in the meantime while experience was de veloping the facts.

Chiefs' Disappointed Several of the executives indicated disappointment o\er President Wil son s statement, but showed particular merest in his mention of the possi bility of the Interstate Commerce commission considering an increase in freight rates. In his talk to the executives to-day President Wilson told them they were facing a condition, not a principle. He asked why they should demand ar bitration when there was no law for compulsory arbitration, and he knew it to be impossible to get a compulsory arbitration law through Congress The employes he recalled, had consistently refused arbitration and he believed it was impossible to gain it in the present controversy. •I have been asked to sit as a judge " said the President in substance. "I t annot do that. I simply can suggest a plan, a way in which this question can be settled fairly to all sides." Again Urges Acceptance President Wilson urged again that the railroads accept the plan, adopt the eight-hour day temporarily and then allow the proposed commission to fully investigate the facts. He pointed out that the railroads brought forward one set of statements and the employes another and it was im possible for him to tell which was correct. In conclusion President Wilson said he believed his plan was the onlv equitable way of settling the contro ven7, a ,P d ,hat unde r it. I>»th sides would be treated fairly. He consid ered it useless to discuss the principle of arbitration, when it seemed impos sible to brinj? about an arbitration In the present situation. Mr Holden gave the President esti mates of the effect of the eight-hour day to the railroads. President Wil son in reply urged that the railroad officials, with.the committee of man agers, very carefully consider his plan before giving any final answer. That was agreed to by the railroad execu tives. Employes Make Xo Rfftrnatlons It was learned definitely that in their acceptance of President Wilson's plan the employes made no reser vation. One of the railroad presidents said after the conference that he did not consider the situation hopeless but that it was very serious. President Wilson, ha BaJd. ha/1 aakad far a.

In spite of the tone adopted by | some of the railroad officials the be- 1 lief was current in administration cir cles that however reluctantly the rail roads would make some concessions. After the conference President Wil- | son telegraphed to a number of presi- i dents of western roads inviting them j to come to Washington. Speaking For the Nation The President informed the officials that they were discussing an imprac- I tical thing in the present crisis when i they mentioned arbitration, for em- | ployes would not accept arbitration, and he had no way of forcing them to accept it. President Wilson declared he was the spokesman for 100,000.000 people, every one of whom had a deep in terest in the present situation. His only object, he said, was to avert a strike with its consequent disaster to the nation. As President Wilson spoke to the officials he paced up and down before them in the Blue Room. Several times he emphasised points with a clenched fist. He shook solemnly and often paused and faced them as he asked that they accept his plan. The rail road officials were equally solemn and Mr. Holden told the President they realized the seriousness of the situa tion. "We must face the naked truth in this crisis." said the President. "We must get down to a basis on which the situation can be solved." ARMED ITALIAN" STEAMER SUNK [Continued From First Page] ranean which befora that time had proved the safest route she went south of Sard'ria and through the Straits of Bonifacio between Sardinia and Cor sica. Several armed Italian steamships have reported sighting submarines in the Mediterranean and in some In stances being pursued by them and firing on them. Italian naval gunners were detailed to service on armed pas seiigei vessels to operate the guns. When the Italian steamship Re D'ltalia arrived in New York August 6 from Genoa her captain reported she had lired on . three submarines in the Mediterranean. The steamship was pursued for several hours and pessen gers said they believed one of the sub marines had been sunk. Submarines Agnlu Active There has been some increase re cently in the submarine activity. The naval expert of the Paris Temps wrote on Thursday that the German subma ■ no campaign again%t merchant ships was again in full swing, tn accordance with the German note to the United Sfat.s in February, in which it was said merchant ships carrying guns could not be considered as peaceful vessels. Th _• E-.ampalia was 447 f«et long and 55 feet of beam. She was built at Spezia in 1909 and was owned at Genoa. The New York agents for the Stam palia said to-day that two wttks ago the;? had received a cable message ad vising tneni that all sailings of the steamship had been canceled. They express the opinion on this account that the Stampalia had been requisi tioned and was in the service of the Italian government. In this case she would have no passengers on board. TRIED TO EMBARR ASS RELATIONS By Associated Press Berlin, Aug. 19.

The intention, it says, was apparently to embarrass relations between the United States and Germany and to in fluence American public opinion for the furtherance of British designs.
