UncOnfirmed RumOrs in
London Of German
H0stilities Against
the Dutch
AUSTRO- RUSSIAN
SEPARATE PEACE
ALSO is DOUBTED

London. April s, 1880 P. M.-There
were persistent rumors in London this
evening that Germany had either de-
clared war on Holland or that her
troops had occupied that strip Of Dutch
territory which extends from the Bel
gian frontier on the coast to the riv-
er Scheldt. The reports lack conf1rma-
ton and are not credited by those who
should know if either action had been
taken.
1t is possible that the reports arose
from the news received in the last few
days from Dutch sources that the Ger
mans were strengthening their posi-
tions around the Dutch frontier and
that much uneasiness prevailed at The
Hague and other Dutch cities as re-
suit of the seizure or sinking of Dutch
steamers by German submarines.

WAR OF LABOR UNIONS TIES
UP new YORK STREET CARS
AND ELECTRIC RAIL WAYS.
GENERAL STRIKE IMMINENT

: Syracuse n. Y, April s.-A war be
tween two labor unions has resulted
in d strike of street and electric rail-
way employees in central New York
that already has completely tied up
interurban traffic between this city
and Auburn, stopped the street car
service in Auburn, seriously hamper
ed lnterurban service in western New
ork and threatens tonight to involve
transportation service in Syracuse,
Rochester, Niagara Falls and Buffa
10.
The strike was inaugurated by the
Amalgamated Association of Street
and Electric Railway Employees and is
directed against the Empire United
Railways Co., to force recognition of
the association rather than the broth
erhood of Electric Trainmen. The lat
ter organization is under contract
with certain of the Empire railways
and the companies refusal to end them
and recognize the Amalgamated Asso
citation as the representative union
organization of their employees
prompted the strike order.
Should the Amalgamated Association
be thwarted by court injunction from
preventing the employees of Empire
cars on city lines little doubt existed
in labor circles tonight that general
sympathetic strike would be ordered in
the cities through which the Empire
operates At present, according to
union officials about 500 men are on
cfYiI<p ChO1l6 crr @
be ordered over 5000 would be involv-
ed and all cities in New York state
west of Syracuse would be effected
AS a result of the strike, not a car
moved in the city of Auburn today and
other divisions are running with a
police on the car and squad of off,
Gals in an automobile accompanying
the cars. So far there has been no dis
order. The Empire United Railways,
known as the Beebe syndicate and as
sociate lines controls the Rochester:
the Syracuse, Lake Shore & Northern
including the Oswego & Fulton Street
Railway; the Auburn & Syracure, in
Guiding the Auburn city lines; South
Bay & Beaverton and the Auburn &
Port Bay Line.
Amalgamated officials declared that ma
tice had been given the New York State
Railways setting a certain time when the
handling of Empire traffic must be dis
continued This notice was sent to Buffa-
10 and Niagara Falls, but the union Off
Gals declined to state what time limit
had been given.
Ernest Gonzenbach, general manager
of the Empire Co, disclaimed responsible
ity for the trouble. and said that if it
had not been for the contract which the
company had with the Brotherhood they
would have entered into the contract with
the Amalgamated Association.
Under existing conditions" he said,
I'VE could not in honor do this If we
had broken faith with the brotherhood.

Primitive Mans First Crude Efforts
Toward the Beautiful.
In the beginning man went forth
each day-some to do battle, some to
the chase, others again to dig and
delve in the feld-all that they might
gain and live or lose and die-until
there was found among them one, diff
fering from the rest, who stayed by
the tents with the women and traced
strange devices with burnt stick over
4 gOurd.
This man, who took no joy in the
ways Of his brothers, who cared not
for the conquest and fretted in the
field; this designer of quaint patterns,
this deviser of the beautiful, who per-
ceived in nature about him curious
curvings, as faces are seen in the fire
this dreamer apart was the first artist.
And when from the field and from
afar there came back the people they
took the guord and drank from out
of it.
And presently there came to this
man another-and in time others-of
like nature chosen by the gods, and so
they worked together. and SOON they
fashioned from the moistened earth
forms resembling the gourd And with
the power of creation. the heirloom of
the artist, presently they went beyond
the slovenly suggestion of nature, and
the first vase was born in beautiful
proportion.
And the toilers toiled and were
a-thirst, and the heroes returned from
fresh victories to rejoice and feast,
and all drank alike from the artists
goblets, fashioned cunningly, taking no
note the while of the craftsman's
pride and understanding not his glory
in his work; drinking at the cup, not
from choice, not from a consciousness
that it was beautiful. but because, for
sooth. there was none other.-James
