London, July 10.— Vigorous notion by Great Britain and perhaps by Germany Is expected to follow the reports of Turkey's violation of neutrality and the Paris treaty in allowing Russian armed vessels to pass the Dardanelles. The situation is occupying the closest attention of official and diplomatic circles. The passage of the volunteer cruisers Smolensk and St. Petersburg through the Dardanelles, some days ago, aroused much criticism, and this has now been changed to open condemnation of Turkey's course by the report that the Russian guardsliip Cliernomoretz was permitted to pass yesterday. England is bound by her treaty with Japan to prevent such assistance to Russia. Atchison pfil . 9014 MAY CALL ALLIED TRADES R. & O B. R.

Chicago, July 10.—Another effort is being made to settle the stockyards strike by arbitration. Today President Donnelly of the striking unions sent to the packers another letter asking for a conference. In this letter Mr. Donnelly went over the history of the strike and asked the packers if in their judgment it would not be better to concede the one point in contention—the taking back of all strikers—than to continue the strike.
