SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN,
Jud ging by the Activity at the War
DeDartment.

Judging by the Activity at the War
Department.
A special from Washington says: An
Interesting activity is noticeable in GER
tain orders issued recently by the War
Department. They relate to the enlist
ment of soldiers. The powers Of the re-
cruiting officers have been diminished in
some respects, but in the more important
regards they Lave been enlarged. The
restrictions heretofore governing enlist
ments of white recruits at city stations
are withdrawn.
The orders are interesting in view of the
recent announcement of the orders for the
manufacture of an unlimited number of
shells. The other activities in the Navy
Department give the general impression
that something is gong to happen in
which gun powder will be the explosive
factor.
Orders have been received at the Navy
Yards at Vallejo, CAL, to put the cruiser
Baltimore into commission by Oct, l. She
will proceed to Honolulu.

Russian Grain Crop.

More detailed information than has
heretofore been obtainable concerning
the condition of the Russian grain crop is
contained in report on the subject to
the State Department from United States
Consul Heenan, at Odessa. He says the
crops over an extensive area have failed.
The beginning of the trouble was the dry
winter causing the failure of halt the
wheat sown. With favorable spring
and resolving the prospects were good,
however, almost up to cutting time. Then
came the wettest season known in years,
and hail destroyed both ripe and unripe
gram.

Crone believes that the best method of
succeeding in inducing men to strike is
for the women to parade before them and
shame them into joining the movement.
She has her own ideas about coercion.
She says that with white people," or
those who can speak English, moral sua-
sion is all that is necessary. On foreign
ers she would use force. You have to
beat it into them or stone them," she
naively says. Her forces consist Of thirty
women, Irish and Welsh, who are well
drilled. These are often REINFORCED by
Hungarian and Polish women, who, while
not understanding what is going forward,
are ready to lend their strength to the
cause blindly.

Injunction. Then Murder

The more light there is thrown on the
shooting of the coal strikers at Halle
ton, Pa, the blacker this deed of cow
ardice and cruelty appears.
Only two of the murdered men were
shot with their faces toward the rifle
men; all the rest of those poor fellows
were shot in the back. Nothing but a
frenzy of uncomfortable fear or a deep
seated malice to deal death among the
miners could have resulted in such a
showing. The refusal of the command
ing officer of the militia now maintain
ing martial law at Hazleton to allow
warrants to be served on Martin and
his deputies will tend to increase the
feeling of bitterness and to deepen the
impression that there is no Justice to be
found anywhere for the poor man.
That government by injunction has
resulted in wholesale murder is nothing
more than might have been expected.
A radical reform in the matter of arbi-
trary rule on the part of Federal judges
must be inaugurated if serious trouble
in the near future is to be avoided. Con-
stitutional rights cannot be trampIed
on with impunity, and there can be no
doubt that the results, as manifested at
Hazleton, have set the people of the
United States to thinking seriously.
