election, when he upset all the tradi-

EUROPEAN WAR DOGS

LONDON, Nov. 20.-There are moi
5000 strictly modern rifles of any
standard make suitable for warfare
to be purchased at a reasonable price
anywhere in Europe.
Machine guns are at a premium and
almost unobtainable except by powers
who make them for themselves.
Cannon and ammunition available
for immediate service are fetching ex-
travagant prices.
Warships nearing completion can be
sold at so to 100 per cent profit by any
power that has them building.
All powder factories, arsenals and

Such is the situation at the present

matter, the larger part of Asia, is pre-

Plus X IS PATRON OF
ARTS===SAVES TREASURES

While the Vatican collection dates
back to and includes the best works of
the Renaissance, the present collection
can almost be said to date from the
time of Napoleon who, following his
victories in Italy, carried back to
France most of the art treasures in
Rome on which he could lay his hands,
but under the treaty of Vienna these
were returned to Rome and became the
basis of the present Vatican collection.
The pictures, however, were scat
tered around in goodly portion of the
HOO rooms of the Vatican, and al
though later popes gathered most of
them into a. so-calIed gallery, they
were poorly arranged, were displayed
under bad light, and were hung with
out artistic plan.
On his elevation to the papacy, Plus
set aside an extensive suite of rooms
for the art collection, had them remod-
eled especially for that purpose, gath
cred together all of the most important
masterpieces III Luo pdldCe anu Hdu
them arranged and hung by some of
the best art authorities of Europe. The
result was that the Vatican gallery at
once became one of the most import
ant in the world.
Marvellous Library.
The same thing has now been done,
after work extending over period OF
years, to the library. This collection
had it's origin in the fifth century, since
which time various popes have made
almost priceless additions to it by the
purchase of private collections such as
that of the Borghese family, the Dukes
of Urbine, the Caponiana library, that
of Queen Christina of Sweden and the
libraries of Sforza, Attempts and the
Salviata.
In spite of all these additions, how
ever, which bring the total up to only
81 900 manuscripts and 100000 printed
works. the library, for quality and -
the rareness of it's works, is one OF
the most famous and important in
existence.

LONDON, Nov. 20-That it is posi-
BILE by legislation to obliterate the al
most unprecedented restitution now
prevalent in England, is the sincere
belief of body of earnest and enthusi.
astic men and women who have inaug-
urated what they term " war against
poverty"
There are at present in this country
between 100000 and 100000 persons
who are unable to obtain on their own
resources some of the actual necessi-
ties of life. Of these about a million
are receiving relief under the so-called
poor law, and the others through vari-
Gus public and private charitable agen-
cies. The promoters of the new cam
paign hold that organized society-or.
in other words, government-is pri-.
marily responsible for conditions that
have brought this about; therefore
government must be looked to to pro-
vide the cure.
Associated on the general commit
tee, formed under the auspices of the
labor party and the Fabian society, for
the purpose of forcing upon public
opinion and through it upon parlia-
ment the necessity of remedial legisla-
ton, are 300 leaders of thought in the
social and industrial world, represent
ing 1913 different bodies, including la
Dor unions, cooperative societies, and
tons throughout the United Kingdom
Their watchword is, 'the right of
workers to a minimum of civilized
life
The definite objects of the movement
as set forth in resolutions adopted at
their recent meeting in London, are:
A legal minimum wage in all trades.
A minimum of 48 hours per week
for all workers. both men and women.
Prevention of unemployment.
Complete prevention against sick
ness.
Proper nurture of child life-food,
clothing and medical care to be pro-
vided where necessary.
Abolition of the present poor law.
Government May Do More.
With regard to the constructive fea-
lures of the program, it is argued that |
inasmuch as the government has done
already along these lines
there is no logical reason, so long as
he necessity exists, why it should not
10 more. For instance, it is pointed !
)ut, the establishment of the minimum
wage in the coal fields, by means of
parliamentary action, has secured for
he lowest paid workers underground
such a substantial increase of wages
IS never before had been obtained by
mere trade union action. From the
standpoint of the committee the new
lealth and unemployment insurance
aw, while in many respects move in
he right direction has proven made
uate, and, moreover, under the pres
mt system of contribution, imposes
90 great a burden upon those whom it
) designed to help.

WAGE WAR ON
POVERTY In ENGLAND

I But 1t is toward the abolition of thu
poor law that the committee is espe
cially directing its efforts. In the opin
| ion of Prof, Sidney Webb, one of tn,
foremost sociologists in England, ant
who is leading spirit in the new in
dustrial crusade, this is the most in
iquitous measure on the British statute
books.
! Before we can hope tC erect the
plain but substantial structure we have
planned" he said today, 1--WE must see
to it that our foundations are sound
At present our system of society has a
rotten base. Underneath the feet of the
whole wage-earning class is the abyss
of the poor law. When a respectable
family applies for relief, we, the gov
eminent of England, proceed to break
up that family. We strip each indi-
vidual of what makes life worth living.
Before a man enters the poorhouse he
is deprived of his citizenship. He is
branded as unfit to vote for members
of parliament. We put him to toll or
loiter under conditions that are so de-
moralizing that he becomes unfit even
to work for member of parliament.
Mother and Babes Part.
I'VE strip the wife of her children.
We send her to the washtub or into the
sewing room where her associates are
women or imbeciles. The
children, if they are under five years of
age, are taken to the nursery where
they are attended by disreputable
women and imbeciles There they re-
main, day in and day out, without ever
going down the poorhouse steps until
they are old enough to be entered in
the miserable poorhouse schools--or
until they are taken out in their cof-
fins, owing to the terrible mortality
among the poor law babies.
This is the pit of the poor law,
which is still just as Infamous as it
was when a few years ago royal COM

bers of all parties-unanimousl de-
clared that it ought to be swept away

ng provision for the destitute often

which they themselves so jauntily had
dealt
ADVERTISING MURDER.

Within the week press dispatches
tell the stories of mother slain by
her daughter who happened to have
gun handy and thought some one
was trying to steal her jewels from
her Pullman berth; of a sleep-heavy
man who shot his neighbor through
the door panel when the neighbor by
mistake was attempting to enter the
house; of a maniac in Los Angeles
who terrorized the business portion of
the city with a box of dynamite with
which he threatened to blow the cen
trail police office to perdition.
Aside from this there is of course
the usual grist of suicides, murders
and shootings, and the tale of horror
in the Mcnamara dynamiting conspir-
acy as revealed in the testimony at
the Indianapolis trial.
All of which goes to emphasize this
point: 1t is far to easy for the criminal
or the fool to become possessed of the
agencies of death in this country
And we observe this: That the mag
