ChriSiS In England.

Great Britain is today facing the
gre atest crisis in its modern history.
For months the 2, 100000 unemployed
men of the empire have beenI leading
with the aristoeracy for work and
food, and the stslid better classes"
have ignored these opportunities and
affected British indifference to in
dustrial conditions which have grown
rapidly worse. The government has
recently provided an old age pension
system, and this will afford some re-
lief, but the situation as a whole Is
not altered. There have been many
local outbreaks and demonstrations
among the hungry, but the British
workman partakes somewhat OF the
racial qualities of his Supporters and
is not easily converted to rev lutior-
airy methods.
Word comes from Cardiff, in Wales,
that 500 unemployed men have seized
part Of the huge hunting preserve of
the Marquis of Butte and are prepar-
ing to sow the land in winter wheat
10 the hope of saving their families
from starvation. 1t is said that
troops will be sent to evict the tres
passers, and In that event there are
grave fears that a national uprising
will take place which might lash
itself into revolution. This is the
outlook that the British aristocracy
IS facing at tho present moment. The
conservative of the landed gentry are
advising the Marquis of Butte to allow
the intruders to occupy the land TEN
porarily in the hope of averting blood
shed, while other aristocrats fear that
If passive permission be given the
squattars there will be wholesale
invasion of private estates all over the
empire, with no end Of "mess" as a
result.
The starving unemployed Of Great
Britain have been demanding that the
vast private hunting preserves of the
rich be thrown open to the peor. 1t
is argued that if the honest working
men were allowed to cultivate the
hunting grounds Of the aristocratp,
there would not be hungry mouth
in England next summer. But the
aristocrats are jealous Of their pre-
rogatiyss. 1t has been their proud
boast that theirs Is the only govern
ment under the sun that was organized
entirely for the comfort of the rich,
the only country with a hereditary
servant class and where the state, the
church and common custom have
kept down the millions that they
may toll for the convenience and
luxury Of the few.
