 Not very long ago a costly me- morial hall was erected on the old Lincoln farm at Hodgenville, Ky, where Abraham Lincoln was born February 12, 1909, in a one-room log cabin, the ordinary home of western pioneer. The president of the United States, the governors of many states, senators and representatives in con gress, together with thousands of cit izens from every part of our coun- try, attended the dedicatory service in honor of the unique occasion
 MT. Lincoln's opportunity for ob- taining an education was extremely limited. He himself often said that he had to rely upon A, B, c. schools and itinerant preaching. These trav- cling preachers, illiterate as they were. taught a fairly good code of morals and from them MT. Lincoln obtained his first idea of public speaking.

 During the years of the war and the few months following Captain Marsh met the great emancipator sev- eral times. His admiration of the man has grown since those events and the one desire of his life has been to present some memorial to his na- tive town as a token of his great love and reverence for Lincoln.

MAY END BRITISH
STRIKE BY FORCE
One Regiment of Scotch Troops
Ordered Out.
MORE ARE DUE IN TWO DAYS
Believed in London That Miners in
Some Parts of Scotland and Wales
Are Prepared to Return
to Work.

London, March 25.-The first ag-
'gressive move on the part of the gov
eminent looking toward the settle
ment of the coal strike took place
when the Ninety third Highlanders re-
ceived orders to hold themselves in
readiness to proceed to any part of
the empire.
This order is believed to signify
the governments intention of ending
the labor disaffection by force if nee
,essary, and it is believed that many
other regiments will receive similar
orders within the next IL hours.
Look for Speedy Settlement.
Besides this drastic step on the part
of the government, the outlook
throughout the coal fields is much
brighter, and in many quarters it is
confidently expected that no matter
what steps are taken at the confer
eence between the miners and opera
tors speedy end will be made of the
matter.
In line with this belief miners
throughout Wales and some parts of
Scotland prepared to return to their
work. The first break occurred in
North Wales, where 800 miners went
into the mines and brought 80 tons
of coal to the surface.
The effect of the strike so far has
been less than was expected, but the
situation now is becoming very seri-
Gus. Practically all the Lancashire
cotton mills are expected to shut down
the coming week if no settlement is
reached.
Business Sentiment Optimistic.
The sentiment of the business COM
munity generally is optimistic and re-
sumption Of work by the miners is
expected to be followed by great &C
t1vity of factories. A large number of
new loans will probably be issued aft
Fer the settlement has been attained.
Withdrawals of cash from London
for the provinces now are stopped.
The considerable sum recently with
drawn was partly for the account of
bankers who desired to increase their
till balances against eventualities.
Trades unions have had difficulty in
dispOsing of the securities in which
their funds are invested or borrowing
from bankers against collateral, but
have succeeded in raising money thus
far from large cooperative societies
and other friendly institutions.
