STRIKES AND WAR scAREs.
situation Seems to be Most Critical
In Spain, Where the War Wased
by the Government In Morocco
10 Causing Dissatisfaction.

London.-New gathered from all
parts of the old world, tell Of socialist
uprisings, food riots, general strikes,
wars or preparations for war In every
important country in Europe, with
the minor exceptions Of Holland,
Sweden and Switzerland. A careful
analysis of the situation in each OF
the countries which are now taking
part in a general movement of unrest
such as Europe has not before expert
enced in the present generation, re-
veals the fact that in every case So
cialist agitation or revolt against
the fast increasing cost Of living is
at the bottom of the disturbance.
Everywhere there is evidence that
workingmen are becoming convinced
that they are not getting their full
share of the wealth which they pro-
duce, and for the first time they are
applying the principle of a general
strike which has so long been preach
ed by Socialist agitators.
The most critical condition at the
present moment exists in Spain. De-
spite the temporarily soothing re-
ports that are being sent out over
censored wires there is every evil
dence that the revolutionaries have
strong hopes of ovetrhrowing the
monarchy. While the Spanish upris-
ing has been fostered for months by
Socialists and revolutionaists, they
would not have achieved their pres
ent success had it not been for the
general dissatisfaction due to the
war upon which the government has
embarked in Morocco
Censored news from Lisbon init
mates that a battle has been fought
between Portuguese royalists who
had gathered on Spanish soil, and en-
deavored to cross the border and at

Apparently the royalists were driven
back.

In many cities of the United States
citizens of wealth have given. tracts

In most places the city funds are too
limited to meet all the splendid op
portuntties that are open on every
hand to further a great work. More
Fairgrounds are needed; children are
pining for the outdoor plunges and

club houses, and the classes in sewing
