GENERAL WALKOUT LOOMS Hope of Averting Sympathetic Ac tion by 700,000 Union Workers diminishes When Transit Of ' flcials Decline to Treat. NEW YORK, Sept. 20. Rioting wao renewed tonigrht in connection with the car strike after efforts of Mayor Mitchel and others had failed to effect a. settlement. Several hundred strikers who attacked four surface cars en framed in a running fight with police reserves, during which several persons. Including a woman, were hurt. Many arrests were made. What the police characterized as a conspiracy to use dynamite in the strike was frustrated by the arrest of a man who asserted he was a striking motorman. The prisoner. It was said, had attempted to purchase explosives from a laborer in a new subway ex cavation. The latter reported the case to the authorities, who set a trap for the striker. Intention Is Admitted. When arrested at the laborer's home tonight, after two dummy packages made up in the form of dynamite had been passed to him. the prisoner is al leged to have declared he sought the explosives to "blow up" a couple of . Broadway cars. When Police Commissioner Woods was told today that 6-year-old Louis Rodelll was dying, a victim of a brick hurler, he redoubled his efforts at clearing roof tops contiguous to the traction lines and went into conference with District Attorney Swann to pro vide for the speedy punishment of such offenders. The commissioner Issued a warning to the strikers that all missile throwers hereafter arrested will be given, the limit. - Peace Hope Diminished. Hope of averting the threatened strike of 700,000 union workers here in sympathy with the carmen was dimin ished. Mayor Mitchel Announced that personal appeal to transit company heads to treat with the strikers was flatly refused. Preparations were con tinued by union leaders for the "walk out" which would paralyze industry throughout the greater city. The only chance now of averting the tie-up Mon day, it was said, lies in a conference to be held tomorrow between a citizens' committee and the strike leaders. Sam uel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, and 25 presidents of international unions who arrived to day, held a conference. No definite ac tion was taken. They will meet again Friday. t Approximately 10,000 women, wives of strikers and members of trade unions, it was announced, will act as pickets beginning tomorrow. They contemplate riding on trains in efforts to induce the motormen and guards to loin the union. WAR'S END IS FORECAST (Continued From First Page.) Is really on a. calculation of how long It will take before the Germans will ac cept the minimum terms the allies will concede. The calculation of when they will propose peace, however, is a more difficult one. The Germans are fighting for the terms they have been after ever since the battle of the Marne. They are fight ing in the hope something will happen some peace movement in the United States, some trouble between the allies and the neutrals. some dissension among the allies that will save them from the minimum terms upon which the allies insist. Minimum Terms Outlined. Whether this is likely to be. here at any rate are some items that seem im perative to me. I take it that the al lies will Insist on for Belgium, resto ration, indemnity and a rectified fron tier: for France. Alsace-Loraine and free navigation of the Rhine; for Rus sia, Constantinople and Armenia; a dis memberment of Austria in the Interests of Italy, Rumania and Poland and the cession of Germany's lost colonies. I do not think the allied powers are disposed to concede easier terms than that. Nor is this all that will satisfy them. My list omits various points of great interest and importance. It says noth . lng about the security of Britain at sea, compensation for sunken shipping, Po land, Bohemia nor Bulgaria, but these issues need not detain us in a calcu lation so sketchy as the one we are making. These are. so to speak, collateral questions. They will be settled in a parallel manner at about the same pace as the others. And none of these points will be settled to the satisfaction of the allies, until certain military ends have been achieved. Until these ends are achieved. Germany will cling to the hope of some showy, temporary success or some accident that will bring about normal intervention to save her from the full measure of the consequences she challenged in Au gust. 1914. Three Efforts by Germans. This year the central powers have made three snatches at such temporary Are You Prepared for Baby's Arrival?

Drug gists everywhere sea "Mother's Friend." F Interesting X Book on Motherhood I Saul Ynm to All I I Erooctaxvi MotHss I write roaix. successes. They concentrated enormous efforts upon single points, points upon wnicn it was unnatural to expect such concentrations, not in the hope of changing the ultimate destiniee of war, but of snatching an arguable advan tage. N They made three srreat lnnena the first year of the war; the Verdun of fensive in the second year, and the much weaker Trentino offensive, and in the third year the Sllietrla offensive, perhaps the last attack of all. rone of these thrusts has altered the fact that the German defenses on the great main fronts, east and west, are crumbling, bending, and approach ing the point of rupture. The moment of rupture on the west cannot come much later than November. Now I argue that Germanv almost certainly will make her first offer be fore that rupture comes and while she can still claim to hold Belgium and a large piece of industrial France. She will, with"her eye on America, offer to trade Belgium and some inadequate compensation in the occupied districts of ranee and in Alsace, but not all of Lorraine, for the return of her colo nic. France Will Seem to Gain. She will seem in that way to give France as much as she wants and de sires, while giving nothing to England. less than nothing to Russia, and will hope that this will produce dissension among the allies. She count quite wrongly upon certain fatigue in France. She judges other countries by her own psychology. Sue cannot under stand that the Frenchman is neither knave nor fool nor- of faint heart. She probably also will make come quite large offer to Italy Istrla and Dalmatia, for example complicated by conditions calculated to produce trouble between the Italian and the Slav. She also will make a proposal about Po land planned to make friction between America and western liberal ideas on the one hand, and Russia on the other. xnis is her obvious course, but I am convirfced that all the allies know their Germany too well for these schemes to succeed, and the theory that America can be fooled by sham reasonableness is unsound. I infer that the allies will not halt their attack while engaged in rejecting these suggestions. Auction of Offers Likely. I think there may be a sort of Dutch auction of the German proposals as 1917 opens. But I don't think that, un til Sofia has been called, off, until the Russians are actually in Constanti nople, the French and English in Lor raine, the Italians over the Julian Alps and the eastern allies hear Vienna, Germany will come down to the hard rock of the terms we must have. That carries my computation well on into next year and involves the Spring cam paign. I believe the German western front is very near giving in now. They are taking great risks. There may be no end of prepared positions behind the present line, but they have little else besides prepared positions. They have no great reserves of men or stuffs. Their actual strength is now all in the line. They may be clever enough to get back presently to the second line of the Meuse, say hold that for a time, but every day of declining morale makes such withdrawal more difficult for them. The present system of offensive, as it has been developed by the Innate military genius and systematic in stincts of the French, supported by our magnificent Infantry, aviators and abundant guns and material, is bound ultimately to go through any line the Germans can put up. We certainly, eight months from the time when the western front breaks. will be on German soil, and the Rus sians, coming through Varna and Trebizond. are not, I reckon, eight months from Constantinople. In eight months the Italians may have gnawed their way through the mountains to Innesbruck, and -will also be near Lai bach in the east. Trieste is theirs for the taking. Sofia In eight months' time will either be occupied by the allies or at peace. Zeppelin Ef forts Ridiculed. The Zeppelins have done their worst, and by the scale of the war it is ridicu lous. There is no question of the steadfast loyalty of all the great allies. Every body I talked to seems convinced that the central European powers will keep their solidarity until the end and that there is no chance, for example, of a revolutionary movement in Germany. I am not convinced of that. It is one of the things one feels rather than rea sons out, but my Impression of the pos sibility of a real insurrection in Ger many may be put in figures a one in ten chance during the war and a one in three chance within a couple of years after the war. The German government obviously fears its people far more than any other government in the world at the present time. It takes more pains to manipulate public opinion. But that fear will tend rather to prolong than shorten the war, because even -weak governments have their firmer grip during actual war conditions. A Germany in urgent danger of rev olution probably will fight even more tenaciously than a Germany united against its enemies. This possibility of revolution, though interesting in itself, may, therefore, be ruled out of the present estimates. Consequently my guess for the date of peace still remains not earlier than April, most probably by June, 1917. SUITCASE THEORY HIT WITNESS SAYS HE SAW BOMB DROP FROM NEARBY ROOF. Others Say Supposed Explosive Carrier Was nt Corner Where Parade Paused Cor Long Time. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 20. Nearly all the story of the oerensa of Warren IC Billings had been told today to a Jury which is trying nim here for mur dering Myrtle Irene Van. Loo, one of the 10 victims of a bomb explosion which occurred on a crowded down town corner here during a preparedness parade, July 22. Billings' attorneys ex pected to complete their case early to morrow. Testimony by Dr. J. Ira Moss that the bomb was burled and not planted in a suitcase, as has been contended by the prosecution, featured today's session. Dr. Moss said he was in the parade near the corner where the bomb exploded and happened to look into the air and see a cylindrical object sailing toward the sidewalk. It fell in the crowd and exploded, he Bald. Billings. in previous testimony, claimed he was nowhere near the corner. Two witnesses said they saw a suit case placed at the corner where the ex plosion occurred, but said it was left much earlier than the time set by John McDonald, star witness for the prosecu tion, who testified he saw Billings leave the suitcase at the corner. Thomas J. Mooney and his wife Rena, who are also under indictment for mur der in connection with the explosion, testified that they were on the roof of a building many blocks away when the bomb went off.
