Another Russian offe "give along the line from Constanza to Cernovada is now; ircpected to increase the intensity of the fighting in t! q Balkans. Military experts here today agreed this was the only step which could be relied upon to lessen the. weight of General Von Falkenhayn's tremendpus pressure on the Wallach ian frontier of Rumania a pressure which it is now ad - nutted constitutes the gravest menace to Rumania. The Rumanian army is in the greatest danger of being outflanked, if the German official statement specifying near approach of the Teutons to Craiova is accurate. The Rumanians are being forced back from the valley of the Jiul.-Meanwhile Falkenhayn, with a force estimated at half a million men, is sweeping around their rear, stead ily lessening the gap through which they must retreat and circumscribing that line of retreat so that its direc tion, apparently, must be due east. Unless there was n diversion snmrnvriAVA in the TSnllran campaign to stop Von Falkenhayn's thrust it appeared aimost certain toaay mat complete evacuation oi tne western part of Rumania would be necessary to save the Rumanian army. This diversion, it is admitted, can best be made by the Russians because of the ease of transport ing reinf oreements via the Black sea.

TO BE ANSWERED E Intimation Is That General Strike May Not Fellow Present Dispute MAY SOON UNITE WITH FEDERATION OF LABOR Railroads Want To Get Rid of Control by State Railroad Commissions By Carl D. Groat. (I'nited Press staff correspondent.) Baltimore, Md-, Nov. 21. "There's going to be an eight-hour day on the railroad! or there's some unfinished business before this country." In this manner todav Warren S. Stone head of the Brotherhood of Locomotive tngineers, answered the question of whether the rail road brotherhoods will call a strike if pending injunction pro ceedings tin up the operation of the Auamson eight-hour law. Speaking in responso, to an enthus iastic welcome given himself and the heads of three other brotherhoods by the delegates to tho American Federa tion of 1-abor convention, Stone declar ed: "Labor will wntch from the sidelines while the railroads fight their own gov ernnieut. " - Kfforts to obtain from- the other brotherhood leaders nil expression of their purpose in the matter were fruit - less, notwithstanding President Gomp- er's assertion from the platform "We expect thobrotherhoods on the iinu iiay or junusrv to inaugurate tne eight ho"ur da." ' 7 Affiliation of the brotherhoods with the American Federation of Labor with ia a short time seemed likely at the conclusion of tho four leaders' visit to tho convention. A general railroad strike January 1 may not follow as the result of the pres ent situation growing out of the Adam ion law dispute. This interpretation was placed today on remarks of thief Stone of the Hroth erhood of Locomotive Engineers that the question of such a strike "will be answered later." Tho element of doubt regarding his remarks arises from the fact that last week in New York, broth erhood chiefs flatfootedlv said there would be a strike if they did not get a real eight hour day. W1U Await Test. Now it is believed, the brotherhoods will be content to await a test of eon stitutionnlity of the Adamson eight hour measure. The brotherhoods, however, are shrouding their movements in an ev en deeper secrecy than that which mark ed their ppogrnm when they threatened strike last summer- Today the brotherhood chiefs are in Baltimore to speak before the American Federation of Labor convention a move that portends cooperation be tween them and the railway department of the federation o force an eight hour day in all branches of railroad service. At the same time, the department of justice, and the brotherhoods' legnl de partment are ready for the opening of the Adamson tests Thursday when the Union Pacific and Santa Fb start their suits at Kansas City. The course taken by the crew in these cases will be vitr.l and upon its action will probably rest the final decision of the brotherhoods as to whether there shall be a strike. The Newlnndj committee investiga tion of the general subjects of rela tions between railroads nud the general public will continue with the rnilroads putting forth proposals for alleviation of what they regard as an irksome con dition. They will fight particularly for elimination of control by state railroad commissions. The question of wages has been min imized to date but when brotherhood leaders return, they prubablv will nsk a hearing and precipitate sharp discus sion on that point. Labor Is TJunafraid.

LATER SAYS Tl T Keynote Is: "Prepare To Meet Unprecedented Conditions After War" WANTS LARGER NAVY TO HELP ENFORCE PEACE Would Modify Sherman Law to Permit Organization of Exporters By Robert J. Bender. (United Press staff correspondent.) Washington, Nov. 21. A call to Am erican business to meet tiuprecendented trade conditions after the war, is to be the keynote of President Wilson's mes sage to congress Tuesday, December 5. The president is completing tho message today and expects soon to have it in the hands of the printer. The president believes the country's industries can do a maximum amount of work only when there is a minimum of industrial unrest. , His message is ex pected to emphasize this in an appeal to employers and employe for more co operation, moro confidence of each, in the other and less tendency to class feel ing. Iu this connection the president has formulated plans for rendering practi cally impossible strikes of all kinds. He will urge completion of a program sim ilar to that proposed in his last mes j - age to handle such situations as the recent threatened strike of the railroad brotherhoods. , Believing the railroad problem as im- portant a domestic issue as confronts tne country, tne president will urce congress to give the most careful con sideration to possible legislation which will allow the transportation systems to expand and to improve to meet the ad ditional stress under which they will be placed at the elose of the war." Abroad also, the foundations must be laid for the trade upheaval, the prei dent believes. He will urec congress to act immediately upon a measure along mo lines oi ine vicdd Dill, which would have permitted American exporters to organize without fear o anti-trust law action. In addition to these the president 'c message will urge action upon different measures recommended in his message oi a year ago and which are ti 1 on the list of the administration's "un finished business." They are expected to include: Conservation laws: legislation for ren dering fuller political justice to the peo ple of Porto Rico, a corrupt practices act, federal aid nnd stimulation to in dustrial and vocational education like that given in the field of agricultural industry and posBibly laws giving fed eral agents more effective weapons to use in ueaung witn conspirators against the neutrality of the government.. tne president also probably will urge continuation of "preparedness for peace" by continuance of a progres sive program of national defense includ- ng material additions to the navy. In his recent pleas for the union of na tions to prevent future wars, the presi dent has pointed but that if America is to play her part in enforcing this pence, she must have the neeessarv means.
