WAR THE TOPIC IN LONDON.

LONDON. April 24.-Tne dominant note
of everything In London isLwar II Is dis
cussed eagerly by all classes, from cabinet
ministers down to the riff-ran OF the East
End, though all but the specialists ar.
n-rddied as TO the whereabouts of most of
the places named. In consequence there
Is such demand for war MAYS that the
publishers have been unable to supply 1t.
The comments heard show a curious
state of affairs. The sympathies with the
ccmhatants run on party lines, the con-
servatives lauding the Turks and the lib
trais hoping for Greek success. while in
Ireland. where one would expect universal
sympathy for Greece, there is an amazing
amount of plaudits for Turkey, on the
ground that the Turks are such good fight
ars- The comments on the war are be-
coming more or less heated. Two letters
from MIR. Gladstone since Monday have
added fuel 10 the fire. He says that the
six powers, with the Incompatible NAL
adroitness which has distinguished them
throughout, have said. in acts. to the
ireeks. You sha1't carry on your work IL

Continuing, Mr.. Gladstone remarks:
1t Is an incredible shame that the in
comparable bungling of the powers and
sacrifices of honor. decency and humanity
in order to preserve peace have caused
war
The war has opened wide the purses of
the Greeks abroad. ard quantities of drafts
Of from S to $50 are coming from the
United States and Canada for the Greek
tefense fund Probably close upon s. O0O-
U have passed through London for
Greece during the past three weeks.
A prominent London banker said:
We only represent four United States
and Canadian banks from which these
small drafts come; but if these represent
anything like fair proportion Of the sums
forwarded by other American banks. which
We think is undoubtedly the case. the total
amount OF money Gent to Greece from
America is already very close upon a mil
non pounds sterling. Besides these Ameri-
Fan contributions, the Greek merchants of
London are forwarding large subscriptions
Of money and material"
The Daily Chronicle and the Star have
opened funds for the wounded. and the
amounts subscribed will BE- sent to the
crown Princess of Greece.
Regarding the course of the war. the As
ISOLATED Press learns that the ambassadors
of three of the powers in London believe
the war will be over In three weeks, and
SUltan of Turkey will appeal to the powers
to interfere in the interests of peace.

COMMITTEE
A Good Thing For Wellington.

Some time ago we remarked that 1t
would give lis positive pleasure to dish
ur an obituary for a certain joint in this
town, ahd now that the time has come,
we shall not he found wanting. For
some tim affairs have not been running
very smooth at the Ely restaurant, con-
tinual round of drunken arawls had
been going on. until what few customers
the place had has ceased patronizing
them. This brought on the crisis.
L. W. Ely went down to Cleveland about
ten days ago ana g,t tangled up with
enough forty-rOi to get him in good
fighting shape. and while attempting to
draw a revolver frpm his pocket in front
of the Hawlpy house was arrested and
taken tOthe police station, where Monday
morning fines OF 50 and costs for carrying
concealed weapons, and 81 and costs for
drunkenness were imposed. About the
same time little tragedy was being en-
acted in Wellington, parties in Elyria,
havinga mortgage on the stock, being the
star actors. The place was closed on
judgement and the stock advertised to
be sold at sheIiff's sale. 1t is disgrace
to our town that such place was allow
ed to exist. 1t was hang out for
the tOugbs Of our town, and residents
of the north part of town disliked to pass
by the place. The late proprietor has
left town and we hope that this is'our
last experience with such an outfit.
