Famous italian Brieand Captured

Rome, October 16.-The notorious
brigand Mussolino has been captured
after a fierce resistance, at Urbino. He
had long terrorized Calabria and is
credited with having committed twen-
ty-five murders. Owing to the sympa-
thy shown him by the peasantry he had
always escaped capture, despite the i'm
mense reward the government offered
for his arrest.
His career as an outlaw began two
years ago when he was liberated from
what he considered an unjust impris-
onment. He vowed to kill the fifteen
witnesses who were responsible for his
conviction, and he is said to have ac-
tually despatched twelve of them.

SEEN THROUGH ENGLISH EYES
The London Evening News Cam
ments EditoriaIIy on the Amer
lean Steel strike.

London, Aug. THE Evening News
III an editorial on the United States
steel strike sees in the strike "a ma
ture of revolution against p~lutocra-
cy." The paper says:
The contrast between great
wealth and sordid poverty is greater
in American than in England. This is
accentuated by the vulgar ostenta-
tons of the American plutocrat. The
relations between employer and en-
pioye is very bitter. The human fac
tor has been eliminated.
The real issue in the political con.
test is the continued existence of the
labor organizations. The spirit in
which j. p. Morgan met the repre-
sentatives of the workmen showed
mat he wished to provoke a fight
with the object of DESTROYING the
trade unions. Whichever side wins
the ultimate victory the contest will
prove disastrous to America. The
fact that it may be to our commercial
profit is one we can not consider as
we contemplate the possible results"
