EXTENSIVE SECRET STRIKE MOVEMENT Is Said to Be Planning in Ger= many For Effect on September 1st. (Canadian Press Despatch.) Berlin, Aug, 9.--The government anhiounces the discovefy of an exten- sive secret strike movement, which, if successful, will lead to a general railroad strike in central and perhaps all of Germany, on Sept. 1st.

BITTER JEALOUSIES OVER WAR GRANTS Admirers of Certain High Offi cers Think They Have Been Slighted. Iondon, Aug. 9.--The awards { war services have provoked warm discussion, not only by those® who think them unwarranted in view of the country's financial condition, but among the admirers of certain high officers whose supporters think they have been slighted. Admiral Vis- count Jellicoe, former first sea lord, has a strong following in the navy, who criticise the government for giv- ing a higher title and larger grant to Viee-Admiral Sir David Beatty, commander of, the grand fleet. The friends of General Sir Wil- liam R. Robertson, former chief of the general staff, argue that he had that position longer than Major General Sir Henry Wilson, who sucs ceeded him, and did important work, They say they fail to understand why General Wilson has been made field marshal while General Robert- son has been passed over. Vice-Admiral Sir Reginald H. 8. Bacon has begun publication of his memoirs, which bid fair to excite as much controversy as did those of Vis- count French. He expresses strong resentment against Sir Eric Geddes, who as first lord of the admiralty was blamed for Bacon's "brutal dis- missal" from the Dover .command, which embraced direction of opera- tions in the English channel. Ad- miral Bacon criticises Sir Eric Ged- des for falling to defend him against "false; criticisms and attacks." When Admiral Bacon was on the active list he could not reply to these attacks, which, he says, was the sea Jord's duty. . i ELECTION REFORM CARRIED IN CUBA Oitizens Who Fall to Cast Ballot Lose Their Right Tto Vote.

PRICES SINCE THE PRESIDENT DECIDED TO TAKE A HAND Nothing Concrete Yet Put Forth By Democratic Administration or Re- publican Congress to Meet the Situ ation, Washington, "Aug. 9.--While it would be wrong to give the impres- sion of panic or chaos in the national capital, nevertheless there is no un- derestimating the gravity and 'con: ceri with which the more thoughtful members of Congress, as well as Pre- sident Wilson, view the economgo crisis of the nation. The implications of the demand made by raflroad brotherhoods that they be permitted to take over the railroads in partnership 'with the government has caused many.a legis- lator and official to ask whether th oft-predfcted agitation for a Soviet management of industry has not reared its head in America at last. To date, nothing concrete has been put forth by the Democratic admin- istration or Republican Congress to meet the situation, but the first flush impression that petty politics had something to do with the protec tion of the problem at this time is rapidly disappearing and in its place is coming a sober second thought that both Republican and Démocra. tic parties must work together for their own common interest or out of the present situation may grow a ra- dical third party, recruited from the ranks of labor, as well as liberals and radicals, who think the high cost of livi is a sequel to monopolistic control/and excessive profits, But it is precisely because the goy- ernment fn all {48 branches has been aroused and the President has aban- doned 'for the moment the league of nations conferences that some of the most alert-minded officials here be- lieve the crisis will gradually solve itself. The belief that much more im- mediate good will come out of the simple agitation for lower prices ac- companied by the threat of legisla- tive action is beginning to be more pronounced daily, The drop in some mere anno "was made that the President had decided to take a hand in the situation has not escaped attention here, and while there are many hopéful officials who believe that the government can provide some definite remedies there is also a group which believe that the busi- ness of reducing the cost of living ia tov complicated and involved to be managed by legislative act or execu- tive fiat and that an appeal to the consclence as well as the good bhusi- ness sense of producers and consum- ers will have a soothing effect on the situation before long. - ARMENIA'S FUTURE LOOKS VERY DARK Turkish Troops Are Closing in Upon the New Paris, Aug. 9.--Despatches reach ing the Peace Conference from Asia- tic Turkey indicate that the Nation- alist movement 'is becoming much. stronger.
