RAILROADS CAN'T mm demanos! / i I Say increase Soughi by Era- i ployccs Would Be Irnpossible. Chicago.?A formal statement of the view of railroads as to the demands of the men for an ei jht-hour day has been issued here by the executive committee of the Association cf Western Kail ways. The statement asserts that the demands :iiy> ?>r>! in rpnlibv fnv si sVsnrf.oi* (lay, but in effect a request for an ady vancc in wages which would cost the * railways of the nation $100,000,000 a year in wages alone. This is explained by the assertion that trainmen work between terminals not by the hour, and do not, as a matter of face exncct to shorten their h>ur> cf toil but io be paid for overtime o.er eight hours instead of ten. The movement, says the statement P involves 300,000 men on 280,000 miles of line in the United States and Canada. A strike, which the statement says, has been inf >r:na!ly threatened by an element of the brotherhoods would constitute the greatest ind.usjh trial catastrophe the American public has known. rloiYIJinri'a U 1C C'llil mnnn ?? ? i \ j croaso of 25 por cent over present * wages, fixed by arbitration, and of 37-1-2 per cent in present rates foi overtime. Wages of the men involved, it is remarked, have increased from 30 to 4t per cent, from 100') to 1014, while wages of Western engineers and firemen were further increased in 1915. The proposed requests were sent U * tite men on January 10 for a man vote to give the bi'othnrhood chief.power of attorneys to present the demands and negotiate for their acceptance. A question of striking would have to be referred back to the met for another vote, but the statement of the K dway association notes that "officers of the brotherhoods have ^ been quoted as saying that they wiP refuse to submit their demands to arbitration."

In perfect health we hardly realize that ' we have a network ot nerves, but wheu health is ebbing, when strength is declini ing, the saute nervous system gives the | alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful i sleep, irritability and unless corrected, | leads straight to a breakdown. !

STORY OF RAIDER EAGERLY SOUGHT I Prisoners on Vessel Fran lie i _ . -n ... .1 n . i/O 13 u xveicasua r ;o::i Durance Vile. . 01<1 Point Comfort, Va.?The British South African liner Appam was riding at anchor in Hampton Roads awaiting disposition by the United States government to the claim of the, German naval reserve ofiicer in command that she is a prize of war. It was expected that the status of the vessel would be determined during the day and that she would bo moved at once to cither Norfolk or Newport News, where the British sub. jects, comprising the greater number of the 452 persons aboard, will be per milted to disembark. Probably most of them will take immediate steps to secure passage from New York to Liverpool, where the Appam was bound when she was surprised and captured by German raider Moewc on January 10, five days out from Da-' kar, British West Africa. Lieut. Hans Berge, the stocky Ger-; man ofiicer, who brought the Annum' all tho way across the Atlantic from a point near the Canary Islands with a prize crew of twehty-two men, waited further instructions from Customs] Collector Hamilton, who ordered the ship kept at Old Point pending action, in Washington. The veil of silence by which he kept tho stories of his prisoners aboard the Appam from the public all day after the ship's arrival at daybreak was still drawn over the vessel, and armed German seaman kept close watch that none should come aboard except those with proper authority. Although the Appam lay almost] within the shadow of the frowning I guns of Fort Monroe, no precautionj had been taken by the government to prevent any move on the part of the vessel or the landing of any of the ship's company. Collector Hamilton accepted the word of Commander Bergo that he would remain at an-j chor and everyone would be kept' aboard until further instructions' came from the Washington govern-] ment. The collector was at his office early examining the Appam's passenger list and making all arrangements to carry out the expected directions from Washington without delay. All efforts to communicate in any way with the notable British prisoners, including Sir Howard and Lady Meriwet'Ur and their suite, have been unsuccessful. Lvon telegrams to them received had not been delivered. The prisoners themselves were almost frantic in their efforts to get their story to the world, some of them resorting to hopeless expedient of dropping notes overboard through port holes. After their sixteen days of captivity all were anxious to get ashore and be free to go their way. The question of food and water wan] no longer serious as during the night a sufficient store of provisions was ta ken aboard to meet immediate needs. The Appam was almost destitute of food and fuel when she arrived in Hampton Roads yesterday. Collector Hamilton granted permission to Lieut| Bergc last night to take aboard such supplies xis were needed. Details of the capture fo the Ap-| pam on January 1C>, of the battle be-' twecn the Mocwe and tile British merj chant ship Clan MacTavish on the, following day, and of the seizure of . six other British merchantmen audi auxiliaries by the raider, were anx-j iously awaited ashore. Persons whoj were aboard all of these vessels r.rc prisoners on the Appam and from them must come the first real story of those events. Collector Hamilton prepared to, make a pergonal investigation of conditions aboard. He made a full report to the Treasury Department and momentarily is expecting instructions as to the disposition of the ship. o TO CURE CHILDREN'S COLDS.

C GERMANY REFUSES TO ADMIT ILLEGAL AGT When Her Submarine Sank tho Lusitania With Loss of Americans. Berlin, Feb. 4, via London.?Information reaching the Associated Frees today indicates that under no circumstances will Germany admit that the sinking of the Lusitania was an illegal act. rm i ? 1 " * i nu new instructions lorwardcd n Ambassador von Bcmslorff, according to this information, contains simply on phrase of the new formulation of the proposed note of regret for the sinking of the Lusitania. The suggested sentence is short, consisting of only eight words, and does no: contain the word "illegal." It Represents the extreme limit of Germany's concessions in tho Lusitania case. The view is entertained here that one of the most serious crisis of tiie i war has arisen in connection with the Lusitania case and that it is impesj siblc to foresee the outcome from any i indications here. The result of the i negotiations appears to hinge solely on the single word "illegal." In the l way of an agreement between the | United States and Germany stand only these seven letters, expressing tho ! . conception which President Wiison and Secretary Lansing insist must "no embodied in the German formuia expressing regret for the loss cf American lives aboard the Cunarder. The Associated Press is informed positively and authoritatively that Germany cannot and will not designate as illegal the sinking* of a liner by any submarine. Virtually no other difficulties in the way of settlement remain and the new instructions forwarded to Ambas sudor von Bernstorff on Tuesday contain merely the new formula by which it is hoped to satisfy Washington without humiliating this country. Although the suggested sentence, according to a reliable version, consists of only eight words and does not contain the word ''illegal" or characterize the sinking of the Lusitania as such it goes to the furtherest extent I possible toward meeting American i desires. j LIVEN UP YOUR TORPII) LIVER To keep your liver active use Dr. i King's New Life Pills.

I IPREVAILING STYLES NEAR TC INDECENCY Violate Ttfodesty Without Satisfying1 Cannons of Any Art They Say. I Now York.?Extreme fashions in I women's dress will bo one of the most important topics to bo considered at the General Federation of Women's Clubs of America to be held hero next May, says Mrs. William Grant Brown, chairman of the local hoard of the feu oration. "Ten thousand delegates will take back to their homes a concrete idea of dress reform that will be a blessing to the whole country," said Mrs. Brown. "We believe in the dec.olette gewn so far as it is a work of art. but modest and free from the sensational. There has grown up a custom of dress for women, especially young girls, I hat is simply frightful. The extreme split skirt that shocked us once has given place to the extreme split waist. Evening gowns worn nowadays by women who probably mean well hut are foolish, are utterly disgusting, being cut in some cases almost to the waist line. These women do not do this to attract attention but because they arc possessed by the idea that to be partly draped is fashionable. "Most club women want to cstabi lish a general rule against indecent extremes in evening dress and a custom of making women's gowns eon| form to the following four rules, first, individuality, every woman trying to ; express her own ideas. Second, mo1 desty, not Puritanism, but a decent i regard for what is proper. Third* good taste, a degree of art in the expression of individualism. Fourth, appropriateness. Young girls should i not be dressed like matrons. Old wo' men should not dress like girls. "Many women suggest that if the present customs of sensational dress ing continues an established ball room censorship should prohibit women so gowned from appearing on the floor exactly as indecent dancing is forbidden." PLEASING IN LONDON America's Course Regarded as Considerate. London.?The authorities here take a favorable view of the orders issued at Washington permitting the landing of persons on the Appnm except the German prize crew and other persons who may have assisted in navigating the ship into an American I port. Appreciation is expressed also of the fact that the British vice consul at Newport News is allowed to | communicate with the passengers. | The order is construed as moaning that the British ofiicials will be perl mittcd to land and thus will not be subject to further complications.
