ENGLAND WORRIED
OVER WAR RUMOR

1ondon. July s0-(Special.)-A recent
article of Admiral Mahan. the great
American writer, on the German fleet
and England's unreadiness for great
war has caused tremendous lot of dis
cussion In the lobby Of the house of COM
mons during the past few days. Admiral
Mahan limited that while some form Of
comnulsorv military service was strongly
advisable. he did not believe that anyone

vice becoming an accomplished fact.
IT is an open secret that several labor
members are in favour OF 1t, and that
sir Edward Grey and Lord Morle are
two members of the cabinet who are
certainly not opposed to 1T in their
hearts.
But the most significant fact is the
very recent accession of strength by
members of parliament to the National
Service league of which Lord Roberts
Is the enthusiastic president. During the
past few days number OF members be-
longing to both political parties have
enrolled themselves in the league and the
latest return shows that 1853 members of
ma rliament or nearly one-fourth of the
whole house have pledged themselves to
further the cause of national service.
During the whole of 1908 only 800 persons
Joined the league. During the past six
months $1,000 new members have Joined.

HONORS BOUGHT
AT HIGH PRICES

London, July 3O.-(SpeciaD .-The shower
of titles conferred by the liberal gov
eminent on flnanciers and others has
created a feeling of intense disgust
among the members of the labor party
Several of the new peers and baronets
have purchased their honors at very
high prices. Under a unionist govern
ment it was often said that anyone who
gave 100000 to the party funds
and who was a member Of the Carlton
club could become q baronet, but double
that sum was required for n peerage.
The prices have gone up under the pres
ent government.
Mr. Carl Meyers baronetcy has cost
him $500 which is the sum he
gave to the Shakespeare Memorial thea
ire In business circles Mr.. Meyer is
probably the most disliked man in Lon
don. For many years he was in the Of
fee of Rothschild, but he disagreed with
that great house. Then he Joined the
board of a famous Chinese syndicate
from which he resigned recently amid
a chorus Of general approval. His wife

strenuously for years for a foothold in
the smart set and her portrait by Sar-
gent, which was exhibited in the Acad-
envy some years ago, showed her in a
characteristic attitude treading with her
foot on a rope of pearls.
The most mysterious peerage of the lot
was that conferred upon DR.. Freeman
Thomas, a very amiable gentleman who
lives at Eastbourne. but who has never
done anything in his life but be amiable.
Sir Walter Foster'a and Sir William Hol-
land were given peerages simply because
they gave up their seats In parliament
SO that more powerful liberals would oc-
cupy them. They have probably got of
cheaper in the way of a cash delivery
than any of the other new peers and
baronets. SIR WeNman Pearson has
given very large sums to the liberal party
and his peerage. which was expected,
will compensate him for some of tho
great losses which he Is said to have

Advance In the cost of living is re-

sparrow as a food. When the prices OF
fresh meats reached a point prohibitive
to the poorer classes, the suggestion was
made that the sparrow as an edible pos
sessed merit worthy of consideration.
Experiments in serving the sparrow
were made with the result that the SPAR
row potpie became popular, and attracted
the attention OF restaurant and cafe
proprietors who discovered that the bird
could be served not only in the potpie
form, but on toast and in other ways
not under the name of sparrow on the
menu, but with some high-sounding
French title. The dish pleased the pa
irons and at once established its popu-

pany paid him large sum and he al
lowed the logs to go through.
The isolation of the locality enabled
him to hold the fort successfully
against corporation, courts, and sher-
IFS. Few persons were acquainted
with the trails leading to the home
stead and of these none would guide
an attacking party. The sheriff depu-
tized men from all over the state to
make the arrest of Dietz, and several
were shot in fights. In one engage
ment Dietz's son was shot in the head,
but recovered
The late controversy between Dietz
and the authorities of Sawyer county
dates from the time when Dietz shot
and seriously wounded Bert Horrell in
Winter in wrangle, it is said, over
rent due on sehoolhouse.
Dietz first quarreled with C. g.
o'Hara, president Of the Winter school
board, it is said, and Horrel, taking
O'Hara's part, struck Dietz. Dietz then
shot and has since claimed it was in
self-defense. After the shooting Dietz
had defed the sheriff to serve war,
rant on him. This act cost Dietz a
great deal of the popular sympathy.
During his six years of revolt Dietz
obtained his supplies In this town,
which required a long drive over rough
and almost impossible roads. Short
ly after the quarrel with Horrel he
sent two of his sons and a daughter
to this place to buy provisions and
ammunition. On the way home they
were ambushed by posse and two of
them-the girl and one Of the boys
were shot and taken prisoners. The
other son escaped; and for several
days Winter was in state of alarm
owing to a rumor that Dietz was to
leave his stronghold and make re.
prisal for the shooting of his children.
And then elaborate preparations
were made by the sheriff to effect the
capture of Dietz-alive or dead. With
a force Of 80 men he surrounded the
Dietz house, taking up positions during
the night which commanded the
stronghold on every side. In the morn
ing Dietz and the members of his
family, all unarmed and none suspect
ing the ambuscade, went out from the
house into the clearing around it. The
father and one son were shot, but not
dangerously wounded, and all succeed
ed In reaching the shelter of the
house. from which they replied to the
fire of the encircling posse, one of
whom was shot and killed. Afterwards
Dietz sent out a flag of truce and sur.
rendered His remarkable revolt
against the authority Of the state had
ended.

Claim of Self-Defense.

Winter, Wis.-After having con-
Quoted a rebellion against the state OF
Wisconsin for six years, John F. Deitz,
settler in a wild stretch of woodland
In Sawyer county, surrendered to the
law. His fight against the state and
the circumstances growing out OF 1t
form one of the most singular stories
in the history of the west and throw
into the shade the most daring deeds
of the border
During the period of his revolt the
Dietz family lived practically in
state of seige. Many battle were
fought between Dietz and deputy
sheriffs sent to arrest him, and a score
or more persons were wounded. Three
sherifRs resigned their jobs rather
than face Dietz in his stronghold in
the woods, and one was imprisoned for
contempt of court because he would
not expose his life in serving legal pa
pers on the OUTLAW" who def1ed the
whole state of Wisconsin. At one time
it was seriously proposed that the
state militia be called out to subdue
the nervy settler.
John F. Dietz came into the lime
light years ago when he defended
Cameron dam on Thornapple river
against one of the largest lumber COM
panies in the state. He claimed the
dam was on his property and tied up
several winters cuts Of logs, valued at
thousands of dollars, by refusing to
allow them to pass the dam without
paying toll. He was fought in the
courts by the company, but de-
fed the order of the judges and held
off at the point of q gun all officers
who attempted to serve papers upon
