 p	
SITUATION CONTINUES TO BE VERY  CRITICAL
James A. Steese, of Harrisburg, the personal representative of John Price Jackson, State commissioner of labor, arrived in Wilkes-Barre last night. He is the third of the mediators detail- ed to this city to discuss the controversy between the street car men and the Wilkes-Barre Railway Co. Rowland D. Mahany, of Buffalo, and John A. Moffit, of East Orange, N. J., the two federal mediators, arrived here yesterday morning. All three have come through the interest taken in the strike by Congress¬ man John Casey.
Conferences between the mediators and representatives of both sides in the controversy .are now being arranged. The mat¬ ter will be thoroughly reviewed and with the aid of these men who have had years of experience in mediation work, it is hoped to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion and avert the impencing strike.
Mr. Steese, the third of the mediators to arrive in this city, is a man of wide experience and exceptional ability. He has been affiliated with the State bureau of labor since its organization, two year% ago. He is a former member of the State House of Representatives. ^
MR. WRIGHT OUT OF TOWN ,
No developments on the strike question are expected for the next few days. General Manager Thomas A, Wright, of the trac¬ tion company, is out of town at the present time and will not re¬ turn ,until Tuesday. The mediators, however, will confer with the lesser officials and the street car mn and will arrange to meet Mr. Wright imme'diately upon his return to Wilkes-Barre. Med¬ iation of the kind that has been instituted through ^ Congress¬ man Casey has solved many .similar questions ?.nd with the ar rival pf three experienced i^ediatois in this city, the pro.spects of a .set {lenient between thf. men and the officiaL are the bright¬ est they have beer.
Rowland D. Mahany, who was the first of the mediators to arrive, is a former member of Congress, He was later United States minister to Haiti. John A. Moffit was at one time con¬ nected with the immigration bureau at New York.
SITUATION IS CRITICAL. When interviev;ed last night, all three mediators • expresi;ed Their hopes for peace. All have acted in a similar capacity be¬ fore with success. The sitv.ation, however, is critical and wheth- ^-T- or not the men n.nd officials will come to terms through the in¬ tervention of the mediators is doubtful The traction compa:?y officials declrvre that they will refuse absolutely to arbitrate with

It is expected that thoussand.s of persons eager to hear the avengel- isfs opening address will flock to the building hours before the service is opened by the great choir of 1800 voices.
Although many Ihmisand.s of per¬ sons will doubtle-ss be turned away from the tabernacle tomorrow, th'i local campaign committee points ot.t that Jlr.

The Tao. ernacle Cafeteria, directly across the Parkway from the tabernacle, is ex¬ pected to solve the problem of sever¬ al thousand persons who wish to reach the building in time to obtain seats, and who would otherwise have no noondfty meal.
The evening service will begin at 7::^0 o'clock with a musical progrqir,. given by the second division of the choir, also nimibering 1800 voices.

FURIOUS GERMAN ASSAULT
Tonight's official .statement reports a furious fussilade by the Germans against the allies' earthworks to the east of Varmelles and in the region to the north of Chaulnes. Here the Germans opened with their big guns, a terrific cannonade, followed by a raking fire from the machine guns posted in their trenches, but the French reply was so terrific that the invaders were prevent¬ ed from following their  cannonade with an assault in force.
AMNUNITION WAGONS BLOWN UP.
On the road between Beaumetz and Achicourt two vvagons loaded with shells suppl3dng the French artillery, were blown up by a German shell and a whole section of the highway blasted by th? terrific explosion which followed. In retalliation the French gunners concentrated the fire of several batteries on the German earthworks at La Boisselle and at Parville, levelled the German dugouts, routing the occupants and driving them before a terri¬ fic fussilate of mitrailleuse fire back to their supporting posi¬ tions. The French guns also silenced the trench howitzers which the Germans had established before JVicourt.
In the angle of the Aisne and Oise, Von Kluk's most advanc¬ ed salient, all the batteries of the Germans which were in action yesterday were silenced.
RESORT TO MINING OPERATIONS.
Mining optsrations by sappeis now have taken the place of the trenching on that part of the Aisne front, to nmanded by the plateau of Neuvron. On this height several mines were explod¬ ed in front of the French positions tearing great holes in the ground. Under co/er of the blasting operations while the pall of smoke still hung over the excavations the French adv?-ced and while the debris and mud was still falling thickly all about, took possession of the pits and held them despite desperate ef¬ forts of Germans to dislodge thfm.
