RIOTING IS RENEWED
IH HEW YORK STRIKE
Police and Mob Have Running
Fight; Dynamiting Plot
Is Frustrated.
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

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.
