—r LAW _ PRESIDENT SKINS EIGHT-HOUR LAW CONGRESS ENACTED CONGRESS ABOUT OVER ZEPPELIN DESTROlfED AS FLEET RAIDS LONDON With Enough of President Wilson’s Plan of Legislation Passed to Avert Natloipl Strike Senators and Congressmen \ Prepare to Leave—I .aw May bo Tested In Court*. The Adamson eight-hour day bill, exacted from congress last week by the railroad brotherhoods as the price of calling off the nation-wide strike ordered for Monday, was signed by President Wilson Sunday In his private car at the union sta tion, where he stopped on his way from Shadow Lawn, N. J., to Hod- genvillc, Ky. That there may be no question as to the legality of the measure as a result of it having been sfgned on Sunday, the president will affix his signature again Tues day. How Tong peace shall reign as a result of the bill apparently is de pendent upon developments in the proposed move to test the constitu tionality of the apt. • Should the rail roads take nO action but await 'the beginning of an investigation of-the workings of the eight-hour day by the special commissitn for which the measure' provides, the brotherhoods will remain Inactive. The employees’ lenders declare, however, that should fhe law be held unconstitutional and tho railroads attempt to restore the- ten hour day on their lines, a strike wiir follow promptly. Ilrotherhood heads in a circular letter.to their members made no «cnt~ai BLE15IIE1DS RACE They merely pom 1 would not become effective until next January 1 and that many things might occur between now and then which would change materially any suggestions or comment they might make. None of the brotherhood leaders witnessed the signing of the .bill. They had expected, according to ten tative arrangementa made by Secre tary Wilson, to be^fireaent. but the president decided /o attend to the business at the railroad station and newspaper correspondents gave them their first information about It. The four peng used by the president in signing the bill—one for each sylla ble of his name—will be presented to the four brotherhood heads, A. B. Carretson, W. G. Lee, W. S. Carter and \V. S. Stone, after being used for resigning the bill Tuesday. It developed that the brotherhood* before being summoned to Washing ton by President Wilson three weeks ago had agreed to call a strike effec tive August 20. The orders they drafted were used when the strike finally was set for Labor day. After having been printed In preparation for the proposed strike on August 2ft they sere locked In a vault In New York. Decision a week ago last Sat urday to order a strike the next day, when the majority of the committee of 040 were leaving for their homes, was followed by a hasty trip to New York by two representatives of the brotherhoods.. The strike date, Sep tember 4, was filled In with a rub ber stamp, but the original date of the call, August 14, was not changed. The congressional exodus, after nine eventful months of legislation has begun. With adjournment prac tically assured by Wednesday or Thursday, scores of members packed their campaign speeches immediate ly, after they had saved the nation from a railroad strike and rushed for Binthreatened trains bound for polltl- Kjbl battlefields. •/‘All that remains on the adminis tration legislative program in the Senate is the revenue bill and the Webb bill to permit American sell ing agencies abroad. Senate leaders plan to incorporate the Webb bill into the revenue bill as an amend ment in order to assure quick action -on it. Informal conferences on Senate amendments to the revenue bill are already in progress and a report of the conference committee will not require much .time, the leaders say. The House is practically done with ■everything except the revenue con ference report and < m- adjourn whenever Senate lead.rs give the word. There are a few odds and ends of legislation for the Senate to deal with and a few obstacles still threat en to prolong the spssion, but admin istration heads say that nothing •could hold a quorum longer than this week. It is probable that the Senate will take an hour or two to pass the Puerto Rico citizenship and election bill, but no other measures are on the program. Theae are the corrupt practices and Immigration bills, however, still on the calendar, with Senators OiAren and Smith of South Carolina ready to call them up If possible. Should Senator Owen attempt a filibuster Democratic leader^ insist that an adjournment resolution could be manoeuvred to take him off his feet. There is a chance that the Im migration bill, which President Wil son has already, declared he would veto, may be taken up. Should this be done, the bill would be forced to conference and there it probably would remain when the adjournment gavel fell." K, Tho passage of the eight-hour day ■fll relieved members generally of "an acute strain. Circumstances at- ’lengTnriW TiegfsIaHve -career WE unusual and the week y* f pasted, which waa given over almost com pletely to settlement of the strike, left leaden of both sidee tired out.

Thirteen Zeppelin airships partici pated In the raid over the eastern counties Saturday night and an offi cial statement issued Sunday said it was the most formidable attack by air ever "made on England. Only three of the Zeppelins were able to approach the outskirts of London. One of these was shot down and the others were driven off by aircraft guns and aeroplanes. According to an official stateunent, latest reports based on careful in quiries showed that the total casual ties were two-persons killed and thirteen injured. The text of this statement, which was issued by the field marshal edmmander in chief of the home forces, follows: “Careful inquiries show that the casualties and damage caused by the air raid last night were quite dis proportionate to the number of ships employed. The number of casualties which have been reported are as fol lows: “Killed; one man, one wo man.* Injured, eleven men and wo- meq and two children. “The measure taken for the re duction or obscuring of lights un doubtedly rproved most efficacious, for the raiding squadron instead of steering a steady course as In the raids of the spring and of last autumn, groped about in darkness looking for a safe avenue to ap proach their objectives. “Three airships only were able to approach the outskirts of London. One of them appeared over the northern district about two-fifteen in the morning, where she was picked up by searchlights and heavily en gaged by anti-aircraft guns and aero planes. After a few minutes the airship was seen to burst into flames and fall rapidly towards the earth. “The ship was destroyed, the wreckage, engines and half burned »frf ht,i r fm,n,i at MANNING RUNS OVER WITH FORMER CHIEF EXECUTIVE VOTE ALMOST COMPLETE New York Times Man Comment* on Somme Losae*—Can Nation Stand It?

It waa sailing with shrapnel bursting all around and search lights centred on. It. Suddenly the Zeppelin disappeared in a cloud of smoke emitted by Itself. The sky was clear at the time but the searchlights lost trace of their quarry. A minute afterward, a light appeared in the sky like a brilliant comet which increased in intensity as it descended. Then the , light spread into flames, falling gradually until an altitude of about one thou sand feet was reached when it burst into an enormous sheet of flame, lighting up the surrounding country for miles. > An eye-witness who reached the scene early said the charred remains of a big German engineer was found.

Reports have reached Rome that th erevolutlon in Greece is extending in Thessaly and Epirus which, to gether with Greek Macedonia, in which the movement was inaugurat ed, constitute the northern half of Greece. Martial law has been pro claimed in Athens, Piraeus and sev eral other cities. . Athens advices mention that fol lowing the arrival off Piraeus Of the Anglo-French fleet the French flag was hoisted on four German and three Austrian merchant ships in the harbor of Piraeus. The names of the German vessels, which are steam ships, are the Tlnos, Anatolia, Serir phos, and Solgalos. Sailors from the warships also seized the wireless apparatus at the arsenal. The Sentente ministers, according to Reuter's correspondent at Atheas, have assured Premier Zaimis thgt the naval demonstration and othdt measures are not directed against Greece. They have drafted a note which was to have been presented to him in the future. , It is said that the Greek govern ment has sent'a note to the belliger ent powers asking them “during mil itary operationa in Greek territory, as weH as in the event of a aeige iuimhanlHiaaL W dent uionumenU and oilier nalio treaaurea.” .

The letter was dated London, Aug ust 22, and was signed “J. King.” It was said at the officer of the press association that J. King was a mem ber of the British House of Com mons. The great explosion, the news of which the writer said, had been care fully withheld by the British author ities, resulted, according to “King,” in a loss of ammunition valued at about twenty-five million dollars. A German aviator, he asserted, dropped a bomb that caused the tremendous damage, the magnitude of which can be appreciated by a reference to the ammunition loss occasioned by the recent Blpck Tom explosion in Jer sey City. This was estimated at about five million dollars, only one- fifth the amount of ammunition which the alleged British M. P. wrote was exploded by the German aviator. The statement issued by the Uni versal Press association, in which that part of the letter which refers to the explosion in France is includ ed, was as follows: “How efficient the censorship has become In Britain is shown by the fact that the 'accident' which put a temporary stop to the offensive about August 16 last was not known In this country until September 1.

A squadron of the Entente Allies’ aeroplanes bombarded the neighbor hood of Ghent Friday morning, says a Reuter dispatch from Amstei'dam, quoting The Echo Beige. The first bomb was dropped at eight-lwenty o’clock, and the bombardment had continued thirty-five minutes when there was a terrific explosion which lasted fifteen seconds, shattering windows throughout the city. It is supposed to have been caused by the blowing up of an ammunition depot. A little later a second explosion, equally severe, was heard. The newspaper says it is reported there were many victims. An ammunition depot at Meire- beks also was blown up and a Zep pelin was seriously damaged gram now. That railroad legislation of a per manent character must follow the eight-hour bill and temporary ad justment of the threatened labor crisis, however, is conceded. Al ready it looms up as the dominant subjects for consideration of the next congress and during recess of con gress thorough study of the situation will be undertaken by the Joint sub committee of the interstate com merce committee, created ' for the purpose.

It Is from Bulgaria, moreover, .that the great German effort is to be made against Roumanla, according to Information transmitted by the London Times correspondent In Paris. This correspondent says that Field Marshal .von Hindenburg ap parently means td meet the new sit uation by throwing his full weight against the new enemy, even if hjj is compelled to'shorten his line in the west in order to do so.

The Star’a correspondent quotes him further as follows: -•» “With the Bulgaria ntroope be tween the Roumanians and the armies of the Entente Allies and with the Russians advancing through r>nbnuUa,.»ha cgn dnuht a political understanding, far more difficult—that by the way. “ \ . .

The note reads as follows: By order of their governments, the undersigned ministers of France and Great Britain have the honor to bring the following communication to the attention of the Greek gov ernment: v “First.
