IS Officer of Line Says She Will Reach American Port in Few Days New York, Aug. 24. Belief that the German submarine Bremen, sister ship of the Deutschlnnd, is now within a few davs of New York was strength ened toda5" by reports from Berlin and Copenhagen nd renewed actively Dy her agents on this side of the water. An officer of the Ozean eompnny, operating the Atlantic submarine line, told the German correspondents today that (Tie Bremen would arrive ot nn American port within a few days. It was reported from Berlin that her departure was delayed until her own ers had positive word that the Peutschlnnd had eluded the patrol of allied warships, off Chesapeake Bay. Paul G. Hilkcn, American represen tative of the Ozean company, left Baltimore today for New York. At the same time the North German Lloyd liner Willehud slipped out of Boston I harbor where she has been voluntarily I interned to escape capture, bound pre I sumably for the port of New London, i Conn., "where it is generally believed ; The Bremen will dock. ' Munv shipping men hero believe the ; Bremen will enter New York harbor. Close watch has been kept for her ar i rival for several days. No convoy was requested by the ! North German Lloyd officials for the ; Willchad and the Charlcstown navy !yard knew nothing of her departure ! 'until she was weft down the harbor. ' Along the waterfront it is believed ! . - . i n:ii I. . i : - 4 1 the maneuver or me murmtu i -i as a screen or protection for the Bre . if that much talked of submarine arrives within the three mile limit off i the New England eoast. ; At the North German Lloyd pier dur i ing the preparations for the departure, : tho trip to New Londou was freely dis cussed by the sailors. Reunited Party Is Myth Says McCormick i i Chicago, Aug. 84. "The -reunited re ! publican party is a myth. Mt. Hughes canuot reconcile the elements.

' MICormick (madeJ thi statement j when asked if he believed "tne pro- gressives are going back to the old ' party." He said running President Wilson's campaign for re-election was a snap in comparison to the job of running oue for Hughes. You cant alwavs match a sample in I buying experience. T OF L IS NOT HERE 10 STAY Prices Due to War or "Supply and Demand" Packers Make Meats High . Washington, Aug. .24. The super high cost of living is not here to stay, is purely commercial and readily trace able to the basic laws of the supply and demand. This was the statement today of Leon M. Estabrook, chief of the United States bureau of crop esti mates, authority on food supplies. While the prices' of food should be properly expected to advance comniersu rato with the rising prosperity of the country to keep pace with the general rise in prices on all commodities, the present abnormal prices on many food staples will adjust themselves with an other season, Estabrook said. Soaring prices of grain, he said, are directly due to the big falling off in production in almost every class, taken in connection with the bumper outputs of the past two years. The sudden decrease iu production tli is year has naturally sent prices sky ward. The jump in the price of beans from five cents last year to 11 cents now is another example, Estabrook said of in crease demand from the armies in Eu rope and the Mexican border, with cur tailed production, due to unfavorable weather conditions. Prices on vegetables are purely sea sonable and local he said. The season of 1915, unusually eool, witnessed a bumper crop in nearly nil sections. The present has anything but favorable for truck gardeners. Hence high prices. The constantly rising prices of meat results, Estabrook said, from a gradual falling off in production, while the de mand has mounted steadily during the pust 10 years. Intimation that the half dozen large packing houses, which exert a practical monopoly have controlled prices on cattle on the hoof to such an extent that the cattle industry has provod unprofitable, was made by Esta brook. Cattle raisers he said, have for the past 10 years complained that they were unable to obtain sufficient money from tho packing houses to make the busi ness moderately lucrative. The surest confirmation of price fixing, in Esta brook 's opinion, is the fact that ranch ers nre dropping cattle raising in in creasing large numbers, until today there are fewer cattle on the hoof than there were in 1910 six years ago. (Continued From Page One.) form but not in the form demanded by the brotherhoods and supported by rresiiient vvuson. The meeting at the White House last ed only ten minutes. Leaving the White House, President Holtlen of the Burlington, spokesman of the group' said: "The situation is not any more hope ful than it has been." ' "Is it hopeful at all f ' ' he was ask ed. "I cannot make any statement as to that," he replied. "All I know is that as long as there is something to work with l am going to keep plugging away. " Contrary to the pessimism reflected by some of the railroad presidents was the hopeful attitude of the president, in administration circles belief is strong that things look better than they have at any time certainly that there is no danger of any immediate breaking off of negotiations. Railroads Weakening Washington, Aug. 2. The railroads ore yielding to President Wilson's in sistence on an eight hour day. Today found the railway presidents and managers hfre to settle the dispute with the railroad brotherhoods and to avert a threatened strike, practically agreed that there is no other way to meet the crisis. But they are strug gling desperately with the problem of providing; an eight hour day that is not Buch an eight hour day as the railroad workers demand. Effort of the railway presidents was concentrated today on the task of putting the railroad broth erhoods on the defensive. To this end they were declaring generally their willingness to grant the eight hour day while showing that thl concession for which the brotherhoods are holding out noes far bevond that. Several thous and words of press statements directed to this purpose were released last night, and today. They will concede, the railway pres idents say: An eight hour day for eight hours pay at present rates. Overtime at present rates or arbi tration of the overtime question. Grant Day. Cut wages They say they will not concede an eight hour day' for which they must pay the same wage they, now pay for a ten hour day. It would mean an in crease of. 21 per cent in wages to the brotherhoods, the presidents say. "The employes haven't demanded a day hours work, said Julius Krutt sehititt of the Southern Pacific. "They would work just as mnnv hours as at present, but at much higher cost to the railroads, "If the brotherhoods are willing to work eight hours for a day s pay, this controversy could be settled in twenty minutes." said E. I. Ripley of the Santa Fe. "Let them declare for that and I'll take my coat off and put in my nest iicks for them." President Johnson of the Norfolk and Western issued a statement con taining similar arguments. The upshot of these declarations was the admis sion that the eight hour day is to be accepted in some form. They want it to be iu a form that will not cost them the enormous sum which they say granting the brotherhood demands would cost. Above-all, as one of them put it, they want to tie able to sav: Want Public With Them "We have grsuted rair eight hour RAIDED EAST COAST No Damage Was Done, Rum ors of Airships Carrying Tons of Explosives London, Aug. 24. A Zeppelin raided the east coast of England shortly be fore midnight last night, the war of fice announced today.' No damage was done and there were nu casualties. Last night's Zeppelin visit and oth ers of the past few weeks are believed to have been recounoitering flights for the purpose of testing England's air defense, in preparation for a great aer ial attack. For the last fortnight word has been coming from Germany or the construc tion of huge Zeppelins, capable of carrying several tons of explosives. The German correspondents hinted that these sky dreaduaughts would move a gainst London and Paris during Sep tember and October when weather con ditionsare apt to be favorable. Zep pelins found the weather so favorable during September of last year that they made five raids on England in that month alone. The first authentic information con cerning the new Zeppelin giants was given to England by Baron Montagu, former vice chairman of the joint nav al and military board m a speech last night. The new dirigibles are 780 feet long, can travel so miles an hour and can ascend three miles to escape shells from anti-aircraft guns. Lach can carry five tons of explosives. The Germans have completed two of the new airships and will have four others available for raids on England in October, Baron Montagu said. Macleay News Notes (Capital Journal Special Service.)

It is now up to the president or public opinion, to compel the broth erhoods to accept it." Brotherhooil officials todav refused to see any concession in the new eight hour talk of the railroad presidents. "This is the same sort of talk we have heard for months," said one of ficial. "That is not meeting the pres ident's proposal either in letter or spirit." The brotherhood men charged today that the big' lines "are lobbying the nation ' to make it appear public sen timent is with capital on the strike sit uation. Sation agents aud others arc the means, they say, whereby alleged lobby operates. These men, the em ployes say, have urged the publie to flood President Wilson with messages favoring arbitration. Stacks of messages, seeming to dis close this activity, are In the hands of the brotherhoods. Some of these charge that the railroads are telling employes, who refuse to be loyal in ease of a strike, that "we will get rid of such men." A sample message from Su perior, Wis., said today that a Great Northern agent was endeavoring to have the public send Wilsoa arbitration messages. A Hint for Contributions.

This i vastly more important, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the bowel pores do, says a well known physicinn. To keep these poisons and toxinu well flushed from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, drink before break fast each day, a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phos phate in it. This will cleanse, purify, aud freshen the entire alimentary tract, before putting more food into the stom ach. Get a quarter pound of limeston phosphate from your pharmacist.
