this fair must be more than a mere
celebration of the completion of the
Panama canal.
1t must mean something vital and
promiseful on its own account to
warrant the expenditure of $50, 0O0,-
600 by the state Of California, the
United States government and the
exhibitors; something from which
positive and calculable benefit to
every American citizen must result.
How may it be expected to do this?
What is the nature of the dividends
the country may expect from the eff
fort and outlay represented?
First of all, the Panama-Pacific ex-
position promises to be of as much
benefit to the men and women who
toll as to the country's employers
and manufacturers. The exposition
which celebrates one of the worlds
great labors, where the men in over
alls set new record, has been en-
tireIy constructed by organized
WorkingTnen under ideal conditions.
= Throughout all the multitude of
exhibits and industrial demonstra-
lions housed in the eleven great show
places, this lesson of primary impor-
lance has been emphasized:
That the greater commercial ex-
pansion and social welfare of this
country demands a new cooperation |
between those who direct toll and |
those who perform the actual work. |
1t is through the department of |
social economy that this viii be |
largely carried out. New standards
in efficiency and reward for merit,
shop conditions, industrial safety.
workmen's compensation, hygiene
and health requirements and all fac
tors which increase the welfare of
wage-earners will be impressiVely
shown here.
The carnival spirit has by no
means been minimized, however.

 HAVE A UNION Fear That Winner of Present War will Make An Effort To Absorb
 Little Kingdom.

LONDON, Dec. 24.-It is expected that as result of the conference be- tween the kings or Norway, Sweden and Denmark, an announcement will be made in a few days that a union of the Scandinavian nations has been formed. The three kings have been holding daily conferences at Malmo, in Sweden.
 Several spies employed by foreign powers have been arrested in the city and are held by the military author tiles. The three small nations fear that after the present war the win ner will become aggressive towards the little countries, which would be powerless separately but might pre- vent being absorbed by a foreign foe if the three nations fight as unit
 The naval and military establish ments of the three countries are to be greatly increased and held at full strength until a, palance of power is again established in Europe.

DESTROY STEAMERS TO HELP GERMANY Some Prominent Germans Are In- volved In the Effort To De-
 stroy French Liner.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 24.-The DO lice state today that more arrests will be made as a result of the attempt to blow up the French liner Roch- ,ambeau. It is charged that num- ber of prominent cermans in busi- ness in this city and New York will be placed under arrest within "A hours.
 The secret service agents are con- fident that they have arrested the ringleaders of German society which aimed to help the fatherland by de- stroying merchant vessels owned by the French and British, and more es- pecially the ships used in transport ing war supplies from the United States to Europe.
 The four Germans arrested yester- day have made full confession i'm plicating the other men involved in the conspiracy. The plan was to ship 70 pounds of dynamite with a clock arrangement which would set the bomb off when the ship was far out to sea.

 PETROGRAD, Dec 24.-The Rus. sian force has been successful in checking the German advance to- wards Warsaw. Not only has the ad. vance been blocked but the Germans have lost ground and are now 40 miles from the Poland capital. This has been effected partly by the shift of the German troops from the Bzura front towards Lodz, where the fight ing is still in progress. The Germaus have found it impossible to pass the Bzura river, where they have lost heavily. The mass attacks of the enemy allowed for the slaughter of thousands of men, the hidden mines along the river banks and in the wa tre destroyed all pontoon bridges and slaughtered soldiers by the thou sands. The river is running red with the blood of the slain.

DRYS EXPECT
 WIN IN MARCH wide Prohibition Bill At the
 Next Session.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24-Congress- man Hobson, who led the fight for prohibition. stated today that ne would resubmit to the next congress in March the bill to make prohibition of the manufacture and sale of spirits nationwide. The closeness of the vote has made many of the brewery interests which have been fighting the bill realize that Hobson may be able to force the measure through at the next session. The inability to spit the vote on party lines has also hurt the brewery interests. Congressmen from large cities still fight the prohi- bition bill, while Republican and Democratic congressman from the South and from rural districts are all in favor of prohibition.
 The parties were about equally di- vided in the balloting.
