particularly the Lusitania incident.
This conclusion is based upon let
tiers received in response to inquiries
sent out to more than 500 political
friends and acquaintance throughout
the country. These inquiries were
sent to all classes of people for the
purpose of getting varied points OF
view, and to men of all shades Of poll
teal belief.
Some of them were senator's and
representatives, others formerly pro-
minent in national or State politics.
Several former senators were asked
for opinions on the situation in their
localities and they replied fully and
frankly. Bankers, heads of COM
mercial exchanges, county seat law
yers, country editors, as well as edi-
tors of large magazines and farm
weeklies, are included in the list Of
correspondents who generously res
ponded to the inquiries with the un-
derstanding that their names were
not to be mentioned.

A prominent railroad labor leader
Of England the other day delivered
labor's ultimatum to the British gov
eminent and set forth the final posi-
tion of the labor forces. This the la
Dor spokesman declared to be revo-
luton. If those who are paid to run
the nation fail to realize their duty
he declares the time to be not far
distant when the workers themselves
will rise in revolt In Germany there
is also the widest disaffectlon. 1t is
no longer a secret that the German
Kaiser lost his head when England
gave notice Of its intention to support
France and to defend Belgium-that
he up to that time had rather glorlh-
ed in a chance to use the mailed fist
against France and Russia, but did
not count them upon England
The fact that the Kaiser did not
withdraw when there was time is now
reflected upon bitterly by the Ger
man labor forces and the time may
not be far distant when this element
will create revolutionary organiza-
ton. 1t is certain that unless the war
shall close in reasonable time the
