Be Ready to Fight.
INDIANAPOLIS, March il "A dispatch
to The journal from Wabash, Ind. !,
says: VI j5l:
French residents Of the Indiana gas
belt and there are many of them en-
ployed in the various manufacturing
establi ishments therein are receiving
from the department. Of war at Paris
notices that they may be called On at
short notice for mill itary service by the
French government.
The mott ifcatio ion con tains the sugges-
ton that they hold themselves in readi-
ness to respond to a call to return to
France. Many Frenchmen are working
in the glass works in the gas field, and a,
large proportion of these are natural
lied, but some who have become Amer
ican citizens have received notices.
The recipients Of b the communica-
tions think that war between France
and England is imminent and that
France is preparing for the struggle. 4 h

Plan of Chicago Labor Unions to Control
All Articles of Human Need.
CHICAGO, March l9 The Times
Herald says: Unless q body goes to its.
last resting place in union made cof-5
fin it will be refused burial in the ceme-#
teries Of Chicago and vicinity, il the
plans Of the labor unions to organize a
gfavediggers' union are carried ont. Al
ready they have compelled the placing
of the union label on every cradle man
ufactured and it is the avowed object Of
the unions to unionize everything from
the cradle to the grave, inclusive. A
committee has been appointed by the
woodWorkers to unionize the coffin fac
tories. They will begin with a factory
on Carroll avenue They will insist
that each casket bear the union label. u
a large number Of members Of the.
woodworkers' organization have been
employed in the making Of collins, but
heretofore there has been no movement
to compel the manufactur to union
ize their factories, 80 non-union caskets.
have borne the union label.
Gravediggers Come Next.
To enforce the use Of union coffins the
woodwork rkers, as soon as they have
unionized the factories, will attempt to-
organize the gravedigg into q union
and have them refuse absolutely to in
ter a body unless it is encased in a.
union-made casket. It is estimated
that there are about 100 grayediggers
employed in the cemeteries Of Chicago
and by organizing them the labor unions
feel that they could control the situa-
5tion. u 5si. HUI is.
ssWe already have the union label on
all cradles made, z said John Lee Of the
.Woodworkers, ssand why should we not
have union collins and union gravedig-
gers? It is to the interest of laboring
men to have every article used from the
cradle to the grave ion-made. Other
trades have been brought about the use Of
union underwear, the drinking Of union
beer, the smoking of union cigars, the
consumptio Of union bread and why
should we not nnio onize our product?'

u LONDON, March 19.The peaceful
conquest of the Grange Free State pro-
gresses so evenly that it is now believed
there will be little or no fighting until
Lord Roberts reaches the Vaal river
How soon he intends to start out with
this objective is not. yet limited at, but
the pacifcation of the Free Staters
seems now engaging all his attention.
When the move comes, it will doubtless
be accomp mplshed with the secresy and
swiiftness which have characterized all
the British advances since Lord Roberts
assumed command.
4 In the meanwhile, the fate Of Ma
feHng remains unknown.
u The revolt of the Cape Dutch in the
northeast seems to have had its back
broken, and it's likely General Kitch-

The lull that lets the British troops in
Natal and the Free State recuperate
brings no rest to the engineers and

to the most severe test in an endeayor
to push supplies from Cape Town to
Blcemfontein. Y n.

Burghersdorp. went to Rouxvile, where
heis now reported to be with only a
small force. s5.a
Y Dr.. Leyds, the diplomatic agent Of
the Transvaal. has disappeared from
Brussels. According to a Globe special
he is believed to have come to London,
but nothing is known here about his
arrival. 3: s
It seems scarcely likely that he would
jump into the lions mouth, and the
energetic Boer representative is more
likely to be soon heard of at one of the
other European capitals. &
