sALooNkEEPERs FORGED
 TO PURCHASE LOCKS

One of the aftermaths of the judic- on Sundays is shown in the follow ing excerpt from the Nome indus trial Worker:
 Yesterday saloonkeepers were bright and early infesting the hard ware stores looking up locks. When the first booze vender arrived and asked for a door lock, the retailer of ironmongery did not seem sur prised, but when they came in later by twos and threes his curiosity was aroused, especially as some of them had face as long as telegraph poles. Being asked why it was that there was such a demand at this stage of the game for locks, the question was put in very periphrastic manner, the dealer suggesting that the saloons were all going out of business. But there was nothing stirring of that kind. One of the saloonists, who has amassed a fortune mixing a variety of intoxicating liquors for. the delec- tation and otherwise of thirsty pa irons, produced 8 notice from the dis trict attorney notifying him that all saloons would have to shut up on Sundays after January 1. As will be seen from a copy of this order else where, the district judge fully endor- ses the action and saloonists will no longer interfere with a properly aus tere observance of the Lords day"

NEW YORK, Dec. 1911 a. MI
The dangerous temper of public
opinion in Hungary, aroused by Rus
sian troops crossing the Carpathians
into Hungarian territory is now re-
vealing itself as the immediate cause
of Austria's defeat in Servia. Revolu-
tionary outbreaks apparently have
been occurring not only in Hungarian
towns. but also in the Hungarian
parliament The premier. Count
Tisza. is declared TO have threatened
in thinly-veiled language, that Hun
gary would separate from Austria and
continue the war solely in accordance
with Hungarian interest unless better
protection re afforded the Hun
garian civilian population.
Apparently. this attitude frightened
the Viennese government as we'll il
might, and large bodies of troops
we're withdrawn from Servia. TO ex-
peI the Russians from Hungary.
1t seems, therefore, that the vic
tory Of the Serbs was due to the di-
version created by Russia in Hungary

PARIS, Dec. 19.-Rheims Is being

by which Prince August Wilhelm
fourth son OF the Kaiser was wound
ed. Such is the story which reached
here today.
A French army observer near
Rheims recently noted from his place
OF cOncealment a vast amount OF
preparation for some sort OF a cere-
mony behind the German lines.
Troops were drawn up for review,
bands were playing and he was con-
vinced that Prince August Wilhelm,
known TO be in this particular sec
ton. was to inspect the troops.
The observer gave the range to a
French battery and the guns were
served so cleverly that when an au-
tomobile which carried the important
parsonage for whom the troops we're
arrayed, came into range, a shell
struck Il. The French observer
claimed to have seen Prince August
