LABOR FEDERATION
 0N A VAST SCALE
[ASSOCIATEp PRESS DISPATCHl

LONDON, May 16.-A great trades
 union combine has been organized in
 England, in which miners, railway
 men and transport workers. totalling
 1,350,00 men, will hereafter support
 each other in their disputes with
 employers. The members of the Miners Federation voted in favor of
 this working agreement between the three organization and the executives
 have appointed committee to ar = range the details.
 It was found in some of the more recent strikes, that without a work
 join together in case of a dispute, not a great deal could be accom- plshed by any one organization. When the Transport Workers were on strike, for example, the railway men kept at work and the attempt to tie up the transport of goods, ex- cept in restricted areas, did not sue ceed. Also when the miners go on strike they cannot make it immed- lately effective unless the railway
 men refuse to handle coal, as in many cases the collieries have large
 stocks on hand at other mines nOn-
 union labor can be obtained. With
 the three working together, the lead CTS believe they can enforce better conditions from the employers.
 Robert Smillie, M. P, president of the Miners Federation, which with it's S0,00O members, is the largest or ganiZation in the combination, be- lieves that cooperation between the three classes of workers will do away with strikes and lockouts, as representations made to employers by leaders representing nearly a mil lion and a half men will be sure to receive every consideration, while
 others consider that the combination will wield a great influence in poli-
 ties. Social legislation supported by all these voters will certainly it is argued. receive the attention of par liament.

SAN MARCOS SUMMER

When the hotel San Marcos, at pected that like other Southern Ari

 travellers might get a room, but the hotel as a hotel would be closed. Int public decided differently. The first of May, the usual date for closing winter resorts, found the guests of the hotel with no inclination to move on.

 Different plans were proposed to | Dr. Chandler by the patrons of the | hotel, and finally the following was l evolved. The San Marcos will be kept open the same as it has been during the winter, only the dining | room will be run as cafe where

ABSENCE MADE HIS
 HEART GROW PONDER

Nine years in Japan served to in crease the love of William Merrell Vo- ries for his native land. During his recent visit here, the well known mis- sionary told of long years of homesick- ness and longing for the sunshine state where he passed his boyhood. He was astounded by the growth and many splendid improvements that have been made but considers Arizona's greatest asset it's glorious natural attractions. Shortly before leaving Phoenix for Japan where he will continue his life's work, he composed the following trib- ute to the state:

 APPREHENSION
An Issue in the Late Elec- tions Was That of Prepa- ration for an Attack by Her Ancient Enemy, Rus sia
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcH1

STOCKHOLM, May 16-The poli tical crisis in Sweden has passed with the holding of the general cleo ton, but the results do not indicate a permanent solution of the question of natural defense on which the election hinged. The number of con- servative members have been in creased from 65 to S5, the socialists from 65 to 75 and the liberals hith- erto the dominant party, have been reduced from 100 to 70 in the sec ond chamber, which will soon con- vene here The increase of the con servative poll was due to the general feeling of unrest in regard to the foreign situation, which is believed at least to menace the territorial in tegrity of Sweden. The conserva- tives went to the polls with the cry of national safety first and this rather overshadowed the other issue of the constitutional conflict between the king and parliament.
 Sweden is becoming imbued with the idea that Russia contemplates war against her within the near flu ture and recent espionage cases have served to confirm the notion that the great northern power is laying oovetous eyes on her Scandinavian neighbor
 The election has supported the view expressed by the king in his speech to the peasants, when he de- clared that the party which was willing independently of all other questions to vote a considerable in- crease for the support of the army and navy should be turned in ma jority to parliament. The liberals while not going as far in support of this policy as the conservatives will certainly back them in a bill for na tional defense against the socialists. As soon, however. as this question is settled the alliance between the two parties will cease at once and a serious conflict of the throne with the left wing of the legislature may then be expected.
 Neither the liberals nor the social ists, both elected on a republican platform, will consent to form a cab inet unless the king promises that such a cabinet will be free from any influence not strictly constitutional, and be guarded against any coup like the kings speech to the pea sants. It does not seem that under present conditions conservative cabinet will be able to govern the country.
 It is evident that the Conserva-

GERMAN FEAR
 0F THE BEAR
The Fatherland Sees in It's Northeastern Neighbor a Formidable and Growing Trade Rival as Well as Military Possibility
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcH1

BERLIN, May 16.-It is not only as Germany is uneasy about Russia The tone of the press daily shows that there is much anxiety over the pos sibility of a trade war, as well as much uneasiness over what is be- ieved her to be a growth of anti German sentiment in the big empire on the east.
 In some of Russia's recent steps German observers believe they see a combination of military and trade purposes One of these is the pro hibitiOn of the export of horses. des- tined to keep in Russia all available mounts for cavalry forces, but which also affects German business inter- ests. The already reported proposal to forbid Russian laborers from com ing to Germany each harvest time would be a severe blow to the agri- eulturists, and the proposed increase of import tariffs on grains, now un- der consideration by the Russian gov ernment, would practically cut off an important market. Germany exported to Russia last year 231.000 tons of rye, 22,000 tons of wheat and 3S,000 tons of oats. These figures do not include the considerable exports to Finland.
 The long detention at Perm of Hans Berliner and his two compan- ions, who landed there after a record flight in their balloons and the de- termination of Russian authorities to bring them to trial on charges of espionage are generally considered in Germany as reprisals for a number of recent unfortunate incidents, one Of which also was responsible for Ger man industry losing an important contract. This was the case of d man named PopOW, an engineer of the Russian ministry of railways, who came to Germany to buy a number of river steamers for his ministry. He was arrested on suspicion of being a spy. He left for London immediately upon his release, saying he would give the contracts to English firms. As a result of his experience. the Russian railway ministry is contem plating placing no further orders in Germany unless the German firms or persons with whom the dealings are had are willing to furnish a cash bond to assure the Russian agents against being arrested. Naturally no one will risk the loss of a consider able sum through the dunderheaded- ness of any minor official, and such

OAK VENEER|NG
 FOR WINDOW FINISH

Reference has already been made in The Republican to the large and mod ern display windows that are being built for the Doris Heyman Furniture company by Lutgerding and Eagan. The five-ply white oak veneering for the window backs has just arrived, and forms the largest shipment of the kind ever made into Phoenix. It is of the very highest grade of quarter sawed oak and was furnished by the Bennett Lumber company. The contractors re- port that this particular lot of oak veneer is the finest they have ever handled and that when completed the unusual grain will permit of an ex- ceptionally beautiful finish.

a regulation would mean the practical exclusion of German industry from the Russian field
 Another of these unfortunate inci- dents was the arrest in Cologne of Captain Poljallow of the Russian ma rine ministry He was charged with picking pockets. He was released shortly afterward and the policemen who made the error have been pun ished, but that incident was further trial for Russia's patience. It is not likely that there will be an out-and- out trade war or boycott, but it is felt by many Germans in high places that Russia is carrying on what is called in German idiom, "a policy of pin pricks," and that it is doing nothing to check the growth of anti German sentiment

BRAVERY IN BATTLE.
After the Fighting Has Begun the Off,
 cers Give Few Orders.

After the Fighting Has Begun the Off,
 cers Give Few Orders.
 An officer in our regular army who saw lighting in the Spanish war point ed out the other day that most persons had a very wrong conception of how soldiers tight ln modern battles.
 After a regiment has wheeled into position to attack the foe and the ae- tual fighting has begun" he said, the officers really have little to do with the proceedings. There is so much noise, for one thing, that commands cannot be heard, and for this reason whistles, in many armies. have been substituted for hugIes, because their shrill blast carries better than the heavier notes of thc brass Beyond giving the signal for the charge the officers can do little. The men. once they see the line of the enemy in front of them, know what Is expected of them and carry out their worR with surprisingly few orders.
 "SkirmiSh drills in times of peace nave taught the troops how to act to- gether. and It Is amazing to see how quickly the men adapt themselves to the conditions of actual battle. It Is the corporals and Sergeants who are in the line with the men who are the real Steadying influence in fight. They know the characteristics of the lndl, vidual private in way .thnt the com missiOued officers can never know them and are prepared to give calming word 10 this or that one when the emergency arises.
 "In my own experience have known a private who had served three enllStments to take charge of com pany in a charge, and the officers and noncoms were very glad to leave 1t to him. After the scrap was over he be, came a private once more, but while that row was on. so far as actuS in. fIuence with the men was concerned. he was of q great deal more importance than bis captain. The way that man could wrlggle into cover was reYela- ton. and he went through three cam Daigns without a scratch. His example in the regiment was big asset.
 "Bravery in battle, according to my experience, Is very much matter of temperament Some men are carried along by q sort of ecstasy, others hold themselves to the work by sheer force of will, while others-and these are the best-go through a fight with a sort of grim interest as If It was highly amusing though somewhat dangerous sport they were engaged in, like polo or football."-New York Times

Now take the DrcadnOu"nl aGun She Is 4S0 feet long. If her hull had been built of the same shape as pre- vious battIeships she would have been very unhandy, Her great length would have prevented her from turning quickly, as Is always necessary in sea fight.
 Sir Philip got over this difficulty by shortening her keel base. Under water she Is very like a racing yacht, being much shorter below water than above, Another clever dodge of her designer was to fit two ruddcrs abreast well un. der the stern. The same dodge has been adopted in all the Dreaduoughts with the result that they are wonder fully quick to answer their helms.
