I'HE CHICAGO STRIKE IS DECLARED OFF Men Agree to Return to Work Pend- ing Settlement of Grievances by Arbitration. CONFERENCE LASTS ALL lIGKT; CHICAGO, Jung 16.—~The Chicago street car etrike is over. It was sot- tled by an agreement to arbitrate, and by noon the famillar roar of the elevated traine was heard overhead and the gong of the surface cars warned pedestrians to dodge quickly over crossings. The appearance of the first sur- face car some hours after the ele-| vated trains were running was the | oceasion of a demonstration in the downtown district. Windows of office buildings along the route were crowded with persons who cheered the visible evidence that the forty-elght-hour strike was at an end. J. W. SHINDLER (igJd Dust twins” from in- ust like the pleture of the drummer”’ on the front of the old book of drummers' yarns—fat and round- faced and with good nature fairly burst- ing out of tieir rotund persons.

The settiement was roached after an all-night conference behind locked doors in the mayor's office. It was attended by Mayor Thompson, the aldermanic mediation committee, the gricvance com mittee of the unfons and the presidents of the traction companies The wrbitration board will consist of a representative of each alde, with Mayor Thompeon the neutral member. The lat- ter generally was credited with ending the strike. The other arbitrators have not yet been named. The strike was remarkable in that no violence was traced to a striker; that no Arrests were necessary and for the good ZEPPELINS FLY OVER NORTHEAST ENGLISH COAST (Continued from Page One.) “Gold Dust” T.

Nyznisce and Baki, as well as several isolated attacks in the district north of Przasnyss, all of which we successtully repulsed. “In Galicla the Germans made good thelr losses by bringing up fresh troops not before seen on this front, and they resumed the offensive in the Jaroslau district, on the right bank of the Ban, supported by a strong artillery fire. After three days of hard fighting we gained some ground on the right bank of Luba- sowka and the Wyssina, a tributary of the San. ‘On the Dneister on Bunday we deliv- ered a successful counter attack on the left bank of the Tismenitza and the Stry rivers. Here we made 1,200 prisoners, in- cluding twenty officers, and captured seven machine guns. The same day the Germans attacked in the sector south of the bridge head of Jidatcheff, taking the village of Rogoupzno. At dawn of the day following we delivered a counter attack and recaptured the villages of Rogouhzno and Jouravkoff. We secured also a gun with its equip- ment and several artillerymen. In this engagement the Germans hoisted a white flag and treacherously opened fire. Con- sequently they were all bayonetted by our foldiers. “The enemy continues his attacks on the bridgeheads near Nijnioff, employing strong forces of artillery. During last Bunday we repulsed these attacks and took over 1,500 persons. “Between the Dnelster and the Pruth in the region of Csernow | ® have with- drawn boyond our frontier.” FIRST NUMBER OF BRYAN'S SERIAL (Continued from Page One.)

Introducing bis statement, Mr. Bryan sraphically deacribes the horrors and af- flictlons of the war and says: “Neutral nations cannot look om with indiffer- once—the tles that bind them together are too strong. the reiationship too futimate.

Union leaders, officlals of the traction lines and members of the mayor's aldermanic strike committee, were in attendance. Threatened break-ups were frustrated after both labor leaders and traction of- ficlals announced they could reach no agreement when Mayor Thompson in- vited the conference to take off their coate. The mayor then locked the doors of his office. He told the men that he would keep them until a solution of the situation was reached. ‘The mayor took a gold horseshoe from his desk and hung It over his desk cloak. “That was given to mé for good luck,” he said, “so I'm going to wish that it willibring good luck to this conference.” 2 Thompeon is Selected. After & heated discussion on the ques- tion of selecting a third arbitrator, Toonard A. Busby, president of the Chi- #ago surface lines, mentioned the name of Mayor Thompson. Names of scores of prominent men previously suggested had been thrown Into the discard. ‘The committee\ representing the streot car men, headed by W. D. Mahon, retired with his assistants to another room to consider the proposal of acoepting Mayor Thompson. Within ten minutes © they returned. “We'll take him,” was the simple an- nouncement that electrified the weary group of men. Hand clapping and cheer- ing echoed through the corridors of the eity hall. Mayor Thompson unlocked the doors of the office. The labor leaders put on their coats and marched out, their faces wreathed in amiles. “‘Wait a minute,” called the mayor. “I want to tell you men how mueh I appreciate what you have done,” he sald. “I will accept this responsibliity. and know it will be hard. 1 will do the best 1'can, and wee that & square deal Is given all around.” ' * Sessions of the board of arbitration probably will be begun early mext week, it was announced.

Insurance om Delegntes. ‘The national order has taken out $100,000 nsurance on the lives of the delegates attending the convention. This insurance was taken with Lioyds of London and is a safeguard against any possible whole- sale accident. If, for example, fifty dele- gates were to be killed in a train wreck, | the insurance in the association would call for a payment of §500,000, which would hopelessly bankrupt the association. It is againat this contingency that the a ditional insurance was taken.

At some points there are several lines of trenches, some of which are built of masonry or concrete. These trenches are suarded by many mines and batteries. The communication, which declares re- |peated Austrian attacks in Carnie was | repulsed, was as follows: “On the Tryol-Trentino-Cadore front we graduslly are occupying dominating | pulnts. Except for distant artillery fire and new but umsuccessful attacks on June 13 against the summit of Veflone, in the upper valley of the Plave (Carnic |Alps), our adversary has not shown in this region any particular sign of ac- tivity. “More intense attacks have been made repeatedly by the enemy In Carnia either near the defiles of Val Sesis, which still s strongly held by us, or especially against the rear line of Mont Avostanis, to the defile of Monte Croce. Here on the morning of June 14 the enemy made a vigorous attack, preceded by an in- tense artillery fire, which began in the night and became wery violent at day- break. The enemy was repulsed and pur- |sued at the point of the bayomet. “Long distance artillery actlons oc- curred also In the zome of Monte Nero, on the Seleme, Malzi front, and on the Kozliak. “Along the Isonzo, on the line from Podgora to Montforton and to the In- tersaction of the Monfalcone canal, re- colssances showed the precise quality of the defensive were prepared by the cnemy on the Isonzo front. “They include entrenchments, some- times In several lines and often In ma- i sheeting and protected by a network of mines or batteries often placed below “Am examination of wsome of our wounded shows that the enemy Is using explosive projectiles.
