Special Cable Despatch 10 THE Sun.
LONDON, Dec. 27.-Great interest has been
displayed by the English papers in articles
from their correspondents dealing with the
work of Sir Alfred Moseley,s commission
10 investigate che labor situation in America.
Some OF these correspondents have stirred
up considerable interest, and the report Of
the commission is eagerly awaited.
Tho Times. in discussing the subject
edtorially, says II considers the most
striking observations made by its corre-
spondent are those describing the close
personal attention given by the American
manufacturer to his factory and processes.
and the exaction OF similar attention from
his snbordinates who occupy places Of con-
troll. Unlike what IL often the case In
England, the son Of a father who has built
up a prosperous concern in America Is not
permitted as u rule TO treat the business
merely a. source from which he can draw
revenue without a corresponding ex pendi-
rure Of work but IL expected to prove by
industry in subordinate capacity that he
has qualified to All higher place. The
Times, commenting on this, says:
in this re- p ,ct, Of course, the difference
may largely be accounted for by the diff
ferences in conditions in the two countries,
America not as yet having learned to re-
gard idleness or devotion only to frivolous
amusements as mark OF social distinction.
Of the American youth generally we hear
that they are more inclined to take life
seriously than their British cen pctitors
and although they are by no means in
sensible 10 the charms and claims Of ath-
lctics, they do not accord TO them the first
pace in their scheme Of life nor regard
the latest winners as pieces OF information
to the attainment Of which every other
kind Of knowledge may. be cheerfully
sacrificed"
The Times goes on to argue that the
position Of employers and junior members
Of their families in relation to the men
insuree a better understanding and fuller
recognition Of each others point Of view
The workmen. therefore, are more SELF
respecting and are more likely to respect
Others II adds:
A great help in this respect is afforded
by the greater personal cleanliness and
greater attention to appearance which are
characteristic at least Of the better class Of
American workmen.'

Regarding the expulsion Of National

I'm the course OF this year 1t has been re-
ported that two enlisted men have been
expelled from labor unions on account of
their connection with the National Guard
On former occasions men have reported
that they have been discharged by their

-The welfare of the State and country
demands that protection be afforded to the
National Guard against actions so de-

recommended that. the law not affording
such protection, proper legislative action

services voluntarily for the welfare of the
State
The report adds:
I cannot too strongly urge upon the State
the necessity. OF obtaining an appropriation
to acquire additional land at Creediroor. The

Foreclosure proceedings have been be-
gun under a second mortgage Of 5000
which Clara Morris. the actress. put on her
home at Riverdale sixteen months ago.
The Park Mortgage Company holds the

nearly $4,000 it is not considered likely
that the proceedings will get far In the
courts. Daniel f. Seybel Of Al Park row.
counsel for ne company, said Yesterday;
1t is simply an ordinary business matter
There was already a mortgage on the prop
erty whent his mortgage was taken, sixteen
months ago The company does not deal
In second mortgages usually, but, as the
amount was but 81 900 and the loan for four
months. a second mortgage was accepted.
Miss Moiris's husband, Frederick c Har-
riott, has not looked after the matter, al
though .ne mortgage is a year overdue.
Repeated letters to him have brought no
result, so we have resorted TO foreclosure
proceedings"
Miss Morris's home lie at 6s7 Riverdale
avenue. Riverdale, but lying partly within
the city limits Of Yonkers. The house was

The travellers Hospitality and offered them
wild apples and goats milk. Their habits
were remarkably Glenn and they were
taller than the other tribes.
Klein and another member OF the expe-
dillon witnessed the rite Of circumcision

sharp flint. The tribe had place Of worship
made OF timber and bushes, and at one end
there were two tablets which they APP

On the afternoon OF Nov 80, when Mr..

turnpike, he was held up by a constable
who had received word by wireless teleg-
raphy from his partner in ambush some
distance down the road that the automobile
was their game.
Lawyer Henry A. Montfort conducted
Mr.. Hoyt's defence and cross-examined
John Caravan, d. V. Titus and Theodore
Payntar, the constables.
You all make business of lying In wait

lators Of the speed law?' inquired Lawyer

Il thought I'd give him a chance IL he

In his defence Mr.. Hoyt said the officers
were disguised as hoboes and he didn't
know but II was hold-up when they stopped
his machine until they formally declared
him under arrest. Then he tried to show
that the gear Of his machine would not
admit Of running at the high rate Of speed
charged against him in the complaint.
He said it was impossible to drive his ma
chine at a greater speed than nineteen
miles an hour when running to its utmost
capacity.
Justice Oakley reserved his decision,
