That Is What the English Cotton Spin
ners Say of Their Dispute.

ners Say of Their Dispute.
LONDON, Oct. 31.-Each side in the
cotton dispute is seeking to fix on the
other the Odium of commencing the
threatened war. The masters describe
it as a strike, while the operatives de-
clare it will be a lockout.
The fact that the mayors of Liver
pool and Manchester in their efforts to
settle the trouble took the masters
view of the situation has caused the
spinners to snub the effort to bring
about arbitration of the trouble by the
councils of the Master Cotton Spinners'
Federation and the Amalgated Society
of Cotton Spinners.
The spinners' resolution warning
the mayors not 30 NEEDLE with the dis
pute is best understood by the opera
tives and employers themselves. The
leaders of the society of cotton spin
ners assert the ability of the union
men to hold out for six months, and
declare that they will teach the nom
union spinners lesson. 1t is believed
that a cessation of work for six weeks
will so reduce the accumulation of
manufactured goods that the masters
will be willing to reopen their mills at
the old rate OF wages.

HONOR To LUTHER.
Elaborate Rehabilitation of the Reformer's
1 Church.

1 Church.
WITTENBERG. Oct 31.-This old town
of jointed gables, quaint towers and
narrow streets to-day presented a
unique aspect Everywhere bright
banners and floral festOons were to be
seen and the whole town bore holt
day appearance.
The occasion Is the rededication Of
the Reformer's church. Among the
royal personages present were the
Emperor and Empress, the Duke OF
York, Prince Gustaf, Crown Prince Of
Sweden. Prince Albrecht, the Regent
of Brunswick, the Duke of Oldenburg,
the Prince of SAKE Meniningen and
Chancellor Won Caprivi.
On a great pavilion built in front
of the Schlosskirche doors, the
Emperor received the keys of the
edifce This church was commenced
in 143S and finished in i499. In 1850 it
was seriously injured by bombardment
and it suffered in the same manner in
1813-14. 1t was first restored in 1914
II, and Las now, owing to Emperor
Williams generosity, been again re-
stored.
On the north side of the church were
the wooden doors to which Luther af-
fixed his theses. These doors were
burned in 1860, but were replaced in
1853 by metal doors ten feet in height,
presented by Frederick William ~.
They bear the original Latin text OF
Luther's theses.
Above on golden ground is a repre-
sentation of Christ, with Luther and
MelanchthOn at his feet; on the right
and left above the doors are statues of
the electors, Frederick the Wise and
John the Constant. The bodies of
these electors are buried in the church.
Everywhere in the town are evil
dences of the great reformer. Not far
from the railway station, outside the
Elster Thor, stands an oak that was
planted in 1880. This tree is said to
mark the spot where Luther publicly
burned the papal bull on Dec. 10, 1920.
This spot is said to have been selected
for the purpose by Luther because here
were buried the clothing of those who
had died from the plague. In the col
legian strasse is the Augusteum, in the
court of which stands Luther's house.
The first floor is fitted up as a Luther
Halle, and contains many articles that
belonged to Luther.
In the vestibule are a number Of
paintings representing scenes in
Luther's life. In the market place
stands a statue of Luther under a
Gothic canopy. The base bears
the inscription: "Ists Gottes Work
so Wirds Bestehn; lists Menschen
Work, Wirds Untergehn." Of it be
Gods work it will endure; if mans
work, it will perish.) Under a brazen
slab in the Schlossl1irche lies the re-
mains of Luther.
Immense crowds of people from all
parts Of the country were in the town
to witness the ceremony of the rededi-
cation of the restored church.

southwest coast Of Ireland for the last
three days is now greatly abated.
Among the vessels that have suffered
through stl ess of weather is the Dutch
steamer Schiedam, from Baltimore for
Rotterdam. Her voyage was SO pro-

replenish her bunkers. She reports
the weather as having been terrific.

yesterday reported the fact that the
Inman line steamer City of New York
was unable to call at Queenstown be-
cause of the heavy weather. The Liv-

have to make the passage to New York
unless he is placed on board some in

that if he declines to speak in that
State he will do so in any othar.

EFFECT OF RIFLE BULLETS.

Interesting Experiments Being Made
by Army Surgeons of England.
LONDON, Oct. 51.-The reports re-
ceived from Dahomey regarding the
havoc wrought by the Lebel rifles,
with which the French forces oper-
ating against the Dahomeyans are
armed, have created interest in the
experiments that English army med.
ical officers are making on the effect
of various kinds of rifle bullets on the
human body.
These experiments have proved that
the Mannlicher, German rifle, is the
most merciful, and that it makes a
clean wound. The new British maya
zine rifle bullet smashes bones and
tears flesh at a distance of l 200 yards.
The experiments appear to disprove the
theory that the greater the velocity of
9 bullet the less mutiIation is caused by
