Awaiting an Owner

Among the plunder which constituted
the stock in trade Of Carl Schlitz or
William Schilling, the lodging house
and bawdy house beat, which he pre-
sents to the landladies and females and
steals back as soon as an opportunity
offers, is a blue silk embroidered sofa
pillow with big red rose and birds done
in silk. AS the detectives so far have
been unable to trace the original owner
Of this article they have taken pos
session of it in anticipation that it may
yet be claimed, and that thus some more
of Schlitz's crooked deals to secure we'd
ding rings and free board and lodgings
for a few days may be brought to light.

AN ENGLISH ALLIANCE
ENoLlsHmEN in FAVOR OF 1T.
Stand Together for Peace and for Civ.
illzation.


London, March 21.-The remarkable
unanimlty of the approval of both
classes and masses of the mere sug-
compels belief in the desire of the
British public for an entente with the
United States. The fact that most Of
the cable dispatches from America
have proclaimed that the suggestion
has been seriously discussed is heart
lily welcomed here, and is regarded as
extremely important and gratifying,
as evldencing n friendly spirit.
There are as u diplOmatist put 1t,
"insplring hope that the differences of
the past will he buried and that An
glo-Saxons in the near future will be
found issuing identical notes to all op-
posed to their common interests" The
diplomat continues: 1T Is not any
stretch of the Imagination to say that
such n union has been longed for by
the best men in Great Britain many
years, not only because 1t is known
fact that all the statesmen of Europe
realize that close alliance between
America and Great Britain would con-
stitute not only the surcst guarantee
of the peace of the world, but would
afford proof that the reign of law and
individual liberty is to be extended for
the benefit of mankind, in spite Of the
efforts TO extinguish II made by reac-
tionary rulers and governments"
The weekly newspapers pay consid-
cradle attention TO the subject. The
Speaker says:
at is impossible for the statesmen
of either country TO find n nobler oh
ject to which to devote their energies
and their lives. Whatever the actual
relations In which the governments of
London and Washington regard the
matter, the American people may be
assured that If they wish FOR an agree
ment the people of Great Britain will
wish for one. Wo do not wish to ask
the Americans to fight our battles. just
MS we feel convinced that they are too
proud TO desire that we should fight
theirs. But what we do wish. and
what wise men on both sides must
earnestly desire. Is that each nation
shall feel that 1t has In the other a
friend and Il brother. on whose sym
pathy 1t can rely in time of need"
The Spectator. noting the good feel
ing expressed in the United States,
says:
ut does not flow from any desire TO
court the old country because II may
be useful, but Is due to the reported
coalition on the continent against Eng
land"
