SKH1KS OF ATTACKS
IX WKST KM I* I IiSI'iD
Along the westorn front the Germans
have mad* a series of attacks, hut all
of theni, according to the French re
port, were repulsed.
In diplomatic circles great interest
attaches to the negotiations that are
going on in the capital* of Ralkati
states. The ministers of the quadruple
entente powers at Nisli, Serbia, fol
lowing the example of their colleagues
in Athens, have had a conference with
the Serbian government. Simultane
ously.. Sotia has denied the rej>eated re
ports that an agreement had been
reached between Kulgaria and Turkey.
KOKTS OK WARSAW
\ iitTi \i,i.\ iM)A-?i \t.i:n
H1CRL.IN. August ?> (via London,
August 7. -:('i> A M )?Tiie forts of
Warsaw have fallen virtually un
damaged into the liamls of the Ger
mans, according t<> information reach
ing here. The defenses >>f Ivangorod.
however, were destroyed by the Rus
sians in their retirement. The garri
sons of the two fortresses appear to
have completed the evacuation without
material loss, and to have carried
away a large part of the stores and
munitions of war accotnulated in War
saw for tiie armies in Poland.
Some disappointment, is expressed
among the German people at the fail
ure of the Teutonic forces to make an
imposing capture of prisoners and
guns in Warsaw, hut military experts
here do not share this feeling. They
point out as the real significance of
the capture of the two fortresses that
the Russians therebv have lost their
fortified base "f operations, which gave
them such immense advantage in the
earlier movements in Poland and that
this advantage now has been trans
ferred to the Germans.
If prisoners and guns are desired
there is still a chance of making a
considerable capture. the military
writers say, tor the Russians, crowded
within the long salient running out
to the fortress of Novogeorgievsk are
in a precarious position. No indica
tions of an evacuation of Novogeor
gievsk by the Russians have been re
ceived here, and <irand Duke Nicholas,
commander-in-chief of the Russian
armies, perhaps may intend to leave
the garrison in this fortress, which is
really stronger and more important
than Warsaw, to stand a siege.
The Russians still hold tiie eastern
batik of the Vistula at Warsaw and
command the crossing here, which is
important in facilitating the orderly
retreat by roads which converge at
this point.
No details of the capture of Warsaw
beyond the meager ollicial reports have
been received here

PEACE CONFEREES

conclusion of a session lasting Hi roc
hours. Secretary Lansing said there
was nothing to be announced, oxccpt
that tlie eonferenee would be continuctl
in New York. He will notify the diplo
mats when ho is ready to resume.
New York, he said, was selected for
the convenience of the diplomats, many j
of whom have summer places near I
there. |
There was no change in the tirst step I
to send final representations t?> the
military leaders, and to General i.'ar
i'an;:a in particular, diuuandiug, for the
sake of tin millions "f noneomba tatits,
that they ft>riu a new government that
can be recogniz< d and supported by the
American nations and the world.
SKI.KtTION OF STIIIINfi
IIA N IS Al.TKHN ATIVK
An alternative proposes the selection
of a strong man for President, whom a
majority of the people would support.
One who has not boon encaged in the
civil warfare would be insisted upon.
Involved in such a plan are many
obstacles, but it was agreed that they
are surmountable. That the plan might
necessitate an embargo on munitions
of war to any faction which refuses to
recognize the new government is j
probable. |
Humors that a breach had occurred 1
over personalities were emphatically
denied, and it was said the discussion j
had not yet reached the stage where the i
presidency was being considered. The '
status of Goneral ?'arranza and Gen
oral Villa was freely considered and
debated. Tin- fact that Carranza has i
refused to confer with his adversaries I
whom he considers conquered was di; - '
cussed.
Questions of international law, vari
ous provisions of the Mexican Consti- '
tution, and the probability that many j
of Carranza's adherents might not fol- !
low him into deliance of a genuine '
Pan-American effort to restore peace !
and government in th.-tr country, are
to be carefully studied before the linal !
prom-am is determined. j

the city clearing away the debris along
the path of Tuesday's disaster, the ruins

this up.
About $20,(100 has been raised by the

? >n Monday a committee of ion busi

city to raise a huge fund from which
those who have lost their all in the

This brings the number of known

FOR CLOSER CO-OPERATION I

mriitN, Appointed.
SAN FRANCISCO, August ?i.?An ad-1
visor.v board of twelve, representing j
equally the Federal. State and muni
cipal governments of the country to
bring about .closer co-operation be
tween the three branches In dealing
with problems of employment and un
employment. was named to-day at the !
doting session of the United States j
Department of Labor conference un I
employment.
Secretary of Labor Wilson, chairman '
of the conference, in his concluding
remarks said the meeting had accom- j
pllshed considerable good, and that he
felt the co-operation toward which it
aimed would do much to alleviate tin
evils from which the laborer suffers.
The need of public labor exchanges,
he said, might never have been real
ized had it riot been for the abuses
<?f the private exchanges, among which
he named the furnishing of strike
breakers and wage breakers.
The chances of any abuses creeping
into publicly-controlled exchanges, he
felt, would be negligible, since the
source of power was the working
people themselves.
As a possible solution of "the landless
man and the manless land problems,"
Secretary Wilson suggested creating a
"rotary fund" from the $10,000,000
which the Federal government gets
annually from the immigration tax.
This, he said, was never intended as
a source of income to the government,
but as a protection to the immigrant
himself, and he thought it might well
be used to get him established on the
land. The money could be paid back
and used in helping other immigrants,
lie suggested.

[Special Cable to The Times-Dispatch.-] J
ROME, August U.-7-TIh! l'opo Is
about to take a new step in favOr of I
cessation of hostilities. The Corrlero j
?1' Italia says to-day: !
"The Pope continues to work ,for j
peace that shall he just and shall re-.i
spect the rights of nations. He docs |
not speak as an advocate of this or j
that people, or oven as an advocate j
of the Italian people; his voice should j
resound as a solemn admonition to all
who seek to impose a peace without
having regard for the rights and just!
aspirations of opposed peoples."
"It is pointed out that a clause was j
explicitlj consecrated to this matter,
in the Pope's recent letter, and shouldl
be more carefully considered by the.
(icrman? and every other nation which'
has remorse of conscience.
"Private information enables me to'
say that the cumins rapal document |
will ho more rletinito than the former'
one. The l'opo will address himself
specially to the neutral countries, in* J
voking their co-operation. Me is in j
consultation, now as formerly,-with all'
the members of the sacred college on i
this question.
"Telegrams and letters have been
dispatched from the. .Vatican to the
Nuncios and foreign cardinals. Cer- j
tain tnonarchs have already replied.
Some of the recent replies by letters j
are to lie published in the Ohservato j
Roma no."
A high ecclesiastic personage said
to-day:
"The intervention of the Pope will
not l>p premature. Kvcrywlicrc the|
war is langtiishlng. The German ml- i
vam e In Poland is inconclusive. All \
the belligerents arc wearied, especially j
those who appear victorious. Thus
the I'ope lias chosen well the moment
to iitt^r the first word of peace, which:
will he followed by words more .ener- j
uotic and ellicaclous."

MOSCOW. August ?? (via rctrograd

from Warsaw are arriving here daily.
.Most of them arc without money or
moans of sustenance, and are. seeking
aid al the American consulate, whore
an enlarged staff is attempting to sup
l>l> temporary assistance pending the
organization of a Russian relief coin
mission. i
Th.- Russian refugees state that, al
though the population of the Polish
capital was convinced that the Ger
mans ultimately would occupy the city,
a majority of the citizens remained,
only approximately lf> per cent to date
having left the city.
This accounts for the absence of
panic which accompanied the exodus.
The refugees compare the orderly
and systematic abandonment of the
city with the panic caused l>y the llrst
German approach last October.
The retirement this time was so sys
tematically executed that it went oft
liko clockwork. Snthcient extra trains
had been provided, so that traveling
conditions on the whole differed little
from normal. j
An unusual feature of the present'
abandonment of the cit.v was the fact
that provision tickets werfc " made un-i
necessary.
The bulk of the refugees traveled on |
foot or with their wagons. Most of
the refugees were forced to take Mie
line to the cast, ^mporarilv crowding
Moscow, Vladova and Brest-Latovsk. i
Many of these lost their homes in tJ
outlying portions of Warsaw, the de-|
struction of which became a military i
necessity
All the territory immediately to thej
west of Warsaw, containing large fac
tories, Polish estate:* <?.nd peasant
dwellings, presents blackened and' un
inhabitable areas.
Care had been taken that no subur
ban factories should fall into the hands
of the - Germans and be converted to
their uses. Chief among those de-|
st roved was a $1,000,000 sugar factory,

IDEAL WOMAN OF FUTURE
TO BE PLUMP. BUT NOT FAT
"r. KmiI Snyn Her < omplrxion Will
Up Htitltlv or llrotTn?Pnle Skin
a limine of Dlnranr.
I SAX FRANCISCO. August 6?Talbr,
j darker women, clothed in more sensible
, dress, will typify the "eugenic woman"
? of the future, l>r. A. J. Read, professor
| of hygiene in the Normal Kcliool of
: Physical Education at Battle. Creek.
! Mich., told the international confer
ence on race betterment at the
Panama-Pacific Exposition.
j "The ideal woman of the eugenic age
will be plump and well-rounded, but
not fat." said l)v. Read. "Her com*
i plexion will ho ruddy or brown, not
pale as that of present-day women, be
! cause the pale skin is a badge of dis
ease rather than ?>f health.
I "Present-day fashions are advancing
toward health fashions. Women's
dress is much more sensible than
twenty years ago. The hygienic dress,
however, should be suspended from the
! shoulders, leaving the waist free."
