COLLAPSE
OF HUNGER
STRIKE
.. "a WEMHM ~

London. May 26.-An almost un-
canny stiffness, in marked contrast to
the recent police court scenes in which
the militant suffra gettes participated,
prevailed at the London sessions dur
ing the trial and conviction of the
women vandals of the national gal
lery and royal academy.
Six months Imprisonment was order
ed for each Of the picture destroyers,
while the window smashers In all
cases were sentenced to four months.
Several women refused to give their
names and were identified by numbers.
One frail girl, convicted as a window
breaker, was so weak from a hunger
strike that she was carried into court
by women wardens. She collapsed in
a huddled heap her body quivering and
her hands clutched convulsiVely at the
sleeves of bystanders. It was neces-
sary to give her restorative during
the court. . -
Freda Graham the suffragette who
slashed a number of valuable paint
ings in the national gallery, May %,
harangued the jury declaring she had
attacked the pictures "as protest
against King Georges illegal and un-
constitutional action in his refusal to
receive the leSdl uSpuldIlOH OIL WoHlelA.
She added what are five pictures
compared with $4,000 pictures by the
greatest artist of all which are being
shamefully defaced, damaged and de-
graded by men each night?"
Mary Spencer who damaged a pic
ture in the royal academy, May %,
told the judge the only way left for
women to express their views was to
damage property as they respected
human life too much to destroy it.
Extra ordinary precautions have
been taken at the EPSON race course
to prevent any repetition of last years
tragic interference with the running of
the Derby when Emily Wiling Dawson
met her death under the feet of the
kings horse. A force of 1000 police
will be on duty at the race course dur
ing the meeting while extra barriers
have been put up around the course.
The arrangements to prevent King
George and Queen Mary being subject
of annoyance by suffragettes are as
perfect as possible.

PICTURE
PAINTED

Detroit, Mich, May ga glowing
picture Of the future of the republican
party reunited with the progressive
element which left it in 1919 was
painted here today by Sen. William E.
Borah, of Idaho, speaking at state
wide conference" of republicans.
1.-THE republican party" said the
senator lis coming back into power.
The proof of it is on every hand. The
trend is unmistakable. / said year
ago that the amalgamation which
would take place would be an amalga-
nation of the voters, not the assumed
leaders. It said furthermore that that
was the only amalgamation that was
worth while. The men who voted the
third party ticket to the number OF
100000 for reasons entirely satisfac-
tory to them can neither be question
ed as to their integrity Of purpose or
protest and not a manifestation Of
purpose to permanently leave the party
is now established by facts and figures
which cannot be doubted.
Now in view of this pronounced
and unmistakable purpose of those
who voted the third party ticket to
ally themselves with the republican
party, in view of the determination to
support it's principles and it's policies,
what is the task before us? 1t is un-
questionably to make our party equal
to the tremendous problems which
now concern us. 1t Is to build up in
this country, out of the traditions. the
achievements and prestige of the past.

It's best days, thoroughly progressive
rarity. We ought not to assume for
moment or concede for a moment, that
because the party bids fair to go back
into power, there is going to be any
compromise with the forces Which
brought it near it's ruin. There Is in
this country a powerful influence for

SHAMROCK "

Gosport, England, May 26.--Sham-
rock w, the challenger for the Ameri-
can cur, was launched and christened
by the Countess of SALISBURY. There
was no hitch in the arrangements, the
new challenger taking water at the
stroke Of noon, slid down the ways
easily as the countess, who had done
a sinlilar service for Shamrock III,
named Sir Thomas Lipton,s latest

was gaily decorated with American
and British flags, intermingled with
the yellow flag of Royal Ulster Yacht
club. Everybody in the big crowds
gathered for the event wore a sham

TO TAKE
APPEAL

Regarding the results of this case
will say" said A. Y. More to a Forum
representative, that 1 consider the
judgment unjust and I will appeal the
case to the supreme court. By this
do not mean to cast any reflection
upon the jury.
THE plaintiff in this case, by the
guidance of his attorney, introduced
volumes of evidence which. in my
judgment, l do not think had any
bearing on the real issues at stake and
it would appear from the evidence in
troduced that politics has entered into
the case very largely.
I'm fact, l am inclined to think that
it has been a political plot to attempt
to exterminate the progressive party
in the state of North Dakota. 1t ap-
peared to be the sole aim of the

mitteeman for the progressive party in
North Dakota, by diScredlting me it
would reflect on the party.

constructive measures have increased
the confidence of the people in the
democratic party, and have formed a
record Of constructive legislation un-
paralleled in the history of the coun-
try.
What will it profit the people to re-
turn the republican party to power?
What constructive program has ii
to announce?
How much Of the great work OF
this administration will 1t undo?
THE American people have conf
dence in Woodrow Wilson. They re-
joice in his patriotism and unselfish
devotion to duty. They will in the
coming election return a democratic
congress to support him in his con-
structive policies of progress and re-
form. They will not elect republican
congress that for two years would only
embarrass, harass, and antagonize
him in the great work of restoring
this government to the people" -

Hundreds of progreSsives will be elect
ed to legislative and county offices
throughout the nation, and our organ
ization will then build from the bottom
upward. Since 1910 the republican
party has lost 125 members of the low

IchthVol,

The importation of ichthyol, pc
culiar asphaltic material found in Aus
tria, which finds application after ap-
propriate chemical treatment as very
important medicament, has been, along
with many other products, cut off by
the war. The raw material comes from
a fossiliferous deposit near Seefeld, in
the Austrian Tyrol. 1t is carefully Sc
lected and subjected to dry distillation.
The distillate thus obtained is then
sulphonated and subsequently neutral
lied with ammonia. The use Of this
material has greatly increased in the
last few years, and It has proved very
beneficial Almost Immediately follow
ing the beginning of the war it's price
doubled, going to over so cents an

COSTLY MILE OF WIRE
ERECTED DURING SIEGE OF PORT
ARTHUR, IN 1905.
Estimated That Ten thousand Lives
Were Lost and Millions of Dollars
Expended in "condemning" the
Right of Way.

There are many individual miles
of city-built telephone line that have
cost well up in the hundreds of thou
sands of dollars" remarked an Off
Ger of the United States army who
saw much of the war between Russia
and Japan few years ago, but the
mile of telephone wire that cost, be-
yond all comparison, more money and
lives than any other line ever built
was erected during the siege of Port
Arthur in 1905.
"For weeks and months the Japs
had been eating away at the defenses
Of the Russian fortress, but with small
success. The hills around the town
and Ilarbor seemed to have been fash
toned by nature for defense. The
Japs, though they had brought up
their great IL and 14-inch siege guns.
were able to make but slight impress
sion upon the forts and none at all
upon the town or the Russian feet
that lay safe within the inner harbor.
The trouble was that, though the
great guns-'Osaka babies they called
them, after the name of the town
where they were manufactured
could easily carry from their positions
into Port Arthur and the harbor, there
was intervening a great range of hills
from five to six hundred feet in height
and crowned with the most powerful
Notifications in the world to that
date. Hence, the gunners could not
get sight of their targets.
Suddenly the Osaka babies COM
menced to open fire upon the town
and harbor, and the Russians smiled,
| for experience had shown them how
| impossible it was for the shells to
strike their unseen targets. But, to
/ their establishment, after she'll or
| two, one lit squarely upon the main
| building in Port Arthur and shortly
after one plunged through the deck
| Of a battleship and sank her like a
| stone.
I'm a short time the town was
| wrecked and the feet, with half its
ships sunk or disabled, had to put out
! to sea.
For, from the telephone in the
hand of the Jap hidden on the sum-
! nit Of 203 Meter hill there ran a wire
to the batteries where stood the great
| Osaka babies,' and the whole thing
| became as simple as a kindergarten
| problem. The man with the telescope
| observed where the shells from the
babies struck; he reported it to the
man with the telephone, who, in turn,
telephoned it to the gunners of the
| babies They modified their fire un-
| der these directions and placed their
! great shells as accurately as though
they were firing point-blank at a tar
| get.
1T was the beginning of the end OF
Port Arthur. that mile of telephone
line running up the flank of 203 Meter
| Hill. 1t was but a single wire mount
ed on poles so small that they were
| invisible a quarter of a mile distant
| but it cost 10000 men and several mil
lions of dollars in ammunition and
other war-cost to condemn the right
of way"
