London Aug. 14-Unrest. bordering on nationwide anarchy, is sweeping Great Britain. Never in the history the United Kingdom has labor strike brought the government to at tention as did today's rioting and bloodshed in dozen cities.
 Hundreds have been wounded. sev- eral are dead and every development tends to strengthen the belief that today will bring a repetition of the scenes of Sunday. when police and military were battered and even maimed by angry courses numbering thosands.
 Together with street battles in Liv- erpool of a most serious description and serious riots at Glasgow. comes the news of meetings of the railway employees at Liverpool. Glasgow Manchester, Bristol. Sheffield and other large cities. at which threats were made of a general strike of all railway men, transportation workers and lockers. unless existing disputes are settled promtly and satisfactorily.
 Everywhere the workers appear en, couraged by the success of the Lon don strike to take energetic steps to obtain better terms for their services
 In London itself both railway and streetcar strikes still threaten.

Washington, D.

Is for such a memorial.
 Congressman Mccall and former Speaker Cannon. who are Hke.ise related to the Fine Arts commission. and all members of which a voice in the shape the memorial is to take express opposition to it. Cannon says.
 Joy Riders" Want Road.
 The idea of road is being spread by automobilists who want to nave a long ride from Washington ana also of roadmakers, and especial. Iy those who are advocating that the country, through congress. should spend millions in building roads throughout the land, especially in the south. This Lincoln road would make fine start for them. It would set precedent.
 Why, If we want to name a street or a road after Lincoln We can read. fly do so in shington-Sixteentb street, for example, a splendid high. way, and it would not cost the gov. ernment anything for the avenue is already built
 Says It Would Cost S25, o.ooo.
 Tt is planned to spend only cou. pie of million dollars on the Lincoln memorial, but if they are to build a road from here to Gettysburg I sup. pose the memorial would cost S25.. O00,O0 if not more, and would re. quire an annual expenditure of s1.. ooo,0o in uPkeep. It is absurd on the face of it"
 Borland, however, will keep right on with the agitation. He says the road can be constructed and splendid entrance arches and stone bride,es built for $2000.o0Q, exclusive of the cost of the land en route.
