On Lookout for Spies.

During the first few days after war
was declared between England and
Germany an ugly feeling was mani
tested by the Germans. who were in
variably looking for French and Eng
lish spies. One American made COM
ment on the street to the effect that
he did not think Germany would win
in the war. and. being overheard, he
was arrested.
But soon the people of the city be-
gan to manifest a different spirit and
began to be especially good to Amer
leans. On the advice of our ambassa-
dor we all wore American flags.
The feeling among the German peo-
pie is most bitter against the English

fierce WINTER IN
CENTRAL EUROPE
Numerous Deaths Caused by Cold
and Many Devoured
by Wolves.

Paris, Jan. 14.-Central Europe is
experiments the most severe winter
in a generation. The billiards of a
fortnight ago, after abating somewhat
seem to have returned with renewed
vigor.
In Eastern Russia, $50 deaths from
the cold were officially reported yes
terday, and stories OF peasants de-
voured by wolves are numerous. ST.
Petersburg is in the grip of three
foot snow fall, with communication
almost cut off, and food supplies low.
In Bavaria and Alsace-Lorraine
heavy snow storms have blocked rail-
road traffic and wrecked wires. Along
the Cow lying Rhine villages watch
men are posted at various points to
warn the people whenever the flooded
waters reach the danger point
In Switzerland snow has been fall
ing continuously since Friday. The
danger from avalanches and floods is
regarded as serious.
In Belgium the floods are receding,
but the snowfall continues and a sud-
den drop in temperature would mean
further flood loss. The damage in the
flooded districts is already enormous
and will require months to repair.
The conditions of thousands of
homeless peasants has been made
precarious by the blizzard.
In Southern Ensland the tempera-
ture dropped suddenly this week,
close to freezing. Along the coast
the weather is foSgy and cold.

the PINCH Of:
HARDENING times
Large Numbers Of Workers Drop.
ped from the Pay Rolls Of In
dustrial Establishments.

Following sharp downward Tariff
revisions come, always, varying ex-
plantations of the pinch of harden
ing times. In the COS the eXplana-
ton was free silver" and conse-
quent want of confidence. The great
industrial depression in the third de-
gade of the nineteenth century, i'm
mediateiy following downward re-
vision, was attributed by Free-Trad-
ers to other causes. And now, when
the fact of decreasing exchanges can
be neither denied nor concealed, So
phistry is again the recourse of such
as feel themselves in any way re-
sponsible for the new Tariff law.
Admitting the fact. it is ascribed
by the theorists to many different
causes. Admission of the fact, how
ever, does not prevent them from try
ing to Mink 1t in many ways. The
fact being that by far the larger
part of the men now being thrown
out of employment have been working
in industrial pursuits directly or in
directly affected by Tariff legislation,
the claim is being made that reduc-
ten in railway working forces ex-
lCtins the bulk of dsmissals. 1t is
q safe assumption that railway lines
have not reduced, and will not re-
duce, their working forces below the
point needed for the handling OF
traffic. That they must reduce to
the loves working minimum at which
traffic can be handled, unless rates
are advanced, is plain business
proposition in many cases. But rail
way managers will not go TO the
minimum until hope of higher freight
rates is abandoned. The fact is that
crowd of idle men is small as yet
their contribution to the swelling
by comparison with those of the in
dustrial lines.
The claim itself is not only mis-
leading, but reacting against those
making it with intention to deceive.
For how can it be demonstrated that
railway corporations should not be
expected to maintain working forces
at full strength under reduced rates,
when that very thing is expected and
demanded of manufacturers and the
producers of much of their raw ma
terials? Finding the market narrow
ing through force of new competi-
tons, reduction in working forces CAM
not be avoided. 1t is noticeable in
the dispatches that many more con-
Germs are reducing forces than are
wholly suspending operations. Mer-
camille intelligence, like traffic in
teliigence, will not reduce below the
point at which operation can be con-
Anued without less. The sad fact is
that forces must be, and are being,
reduced. Hot air, unfortunately, is
often followed by cold. History re-
.peats itself in the effort to conceal
truth and to challenge the laws of
cause and effect.-Globe Democrat.

the civilized world with its appeal

introduction In motion pictures thus
bringing Its great moral lesson be-
fore the millions of photoplay fol-
lowers, cannot but supplement the
effective influence upon the criminal
and judicial procedure. which the
original production exerted.
The situation OF the woman bur
glar, reformed by the kindness of
the man whose house she attempts
to rob, affords unlimited opportuni-
ty for camera action. The girl.

to be Il thief and the associate of
thieves. is brought into the light by
the influence of love of which she
is hardly aware, and by Kind words
of persuasion spoken at the psyche
logical moment. when her spirit.
hardened and roughened by her past
training. is Just about to merge
with the refining and regenating in
fluence with which she is suddenly
brought into contact.
The play should make an irresist-

the greatest morals possible to in
