Moths rha, Eat Your Clothes.

The little clothes moth is gray.sh' yellow. It is not the winged moth that eats up clothing. The caterpillar is the real perpetrntor of all the dam age done to garments.

Austria in international sitnntions cre.

Austria ia international situations ere atcd by the war.
 Among the early activities of leu. tone part.sans was the case of dyna- hitting a bridge on the Canadian Dor der. On Feb. d German named Wer. ncr Non HCrn made an unsuccessful attempt to blow up with dynamite the bridge across the St. Croix river. con. meeting the Canadian Pacific and Maine Central railroads.
 Another partisan outbreak was the attempt of a German professor named Holt to assassinate J. r. Morgan, the banker, who was accused of aiding the allies. Holt killed himself.
 The activities of officials of the Ger man and Austrian governments serv- ing in this country led to the retire mcnt of Dr. Dumba. Austrian ambas- sador. and Captains Boy-Ed and Von Papen, attaches of German embassy.
 Diplomatic relations between the gov crnments of Austria-Hungary and the United States reached an acute stage during December when this govern ment sent note to Austria demanding the disavowal of the sinking of the Italian steamship Ancona with the loss of American lives.

decided to recognize CarranZa as the head of the de facto government of Mexico. This was accomplished in October. Meanwhile a revolution in Haiti led this government to inter fere for the protection of United States interests. Troops were landed, and fighting took place. Also on the Mex ican border many collisions have oc- cured between United States troops ! and MeXicans of different factions. Various Events.
 At the close of the summer outing season it was announced that Presi- dent Wilson was afIianced to Mrs. Edith B. Gait of Washington. After some weeks an ardent public curiosity and desire to know the time and place of the nuptials were appeased by the news that it would take place in Wash ington on the 18th of December.
 Outside of the war zone in Europe there have been few steamship disas- ters attended with heavy loss of life One of the saddest for many years was the overturning of the excursion steamer Eastland in the Chicago river on July 24. with the loss of 9S1 lives.
 Recently wireless telephoning has been accomplished between Arlington, Va, and Paris, San Francisco and Honolulu. Explorer Stefanssou was heard from after silence of seventeen months. The European war brought to the fore the question of adequate national defense, and the result of many months of discussion and plan ming is now or soon will be before congress in the shape of bills to nearly double the standing army, create big reserve force and add to the number of battleships and submarines.

where it was thought hazardous for the executive to leave the capital. The ships, numbering sixty-seven, were in the Hudson for ten days, where throngs viewed them at anchor or vis- ited on board. On May IS the fleet passed out to sea after review by the president and Secretary of the Navy Daniels.
 Originally it had been planned to have a naval gathering on the Pacific coast to pass through the Panama ca nal, led by vessel having the presi- dent on board. The war developments led to the abandonment of that in teresting feature of celebration of the completion of the waterway across the isthmus.
 Submarine Warfare.
 In February Germany extended the war zone to include the English chan nel and, in reprisal for British block ade of neutral ports to shut out sup plies from the enemy, began to sink ships sailing under enemy flags on the routes of commerce between the conti- nents. Warming was given that neu- tral passengers upon enemy owned yes sels were in danger Following upon the sinking of merchant vessels having citizens of the United States on board and with the loss of American lives the ocean liner Lusitania, from New York for Liverpool, was torpedoed off the coast of Ireland. About 100 citi- zens of this country went down.
 The state department took the case In hand. and notes were passed be- tween the United States and Germany. Germany was finally warned that this government would hold her to strict accountability and that further acts of the nature of the Lusitania horror would be held as deliberately un- friendly" As result of the attitude assumed by the administration Secre- tary of State Bryan resigned, and the portfolio was given to Robert Lansing
 Our Neutrality AssaiIed.
 Early in the war charges were made in the interest of Germany and Aus tria- Hungary that partiality was be- ing shown to the allies. and in January the United States government categor- ically denied twenty specific charges of discrimination against Germany and

 Panama-Pacific Fair.
 Among the notable events and occur renceS which at certain periods and for d longer or shorter time have dis tracted thought from the vexatious WAT problems may be mentioned the Panama CXpositiOns, the unique situa- tion in Mexico, the strange denoue- ment in the Harry K. Thaw conspir- acy and insanity case and the presi- dential wedding romance. Opening early and holding on late, the Panama Pacific fair at San Francisco proved to be an exhibition which in ordinary times would have been a record break CT in the matter of enthusiasm evoked, as well in attendance and receipts.
 In ten months, beginning March 1 and ending Dec. 4, the admissions were over 17,OO00O0. Allowing for repeat CTS, it is fair to estimate that about one-tenth of the population which has passed the stage of babyhood saw the wonderful displays of the resources of the world which were brought together in one inclOsure.
 Thaw Is Freed
 The Thaw case, which had been rel egated to Obscurity by the tremendous happenings abroad, was suddenly re- vived by the extradition of the fugi- tive for trial in New York state upon the charge of conspiring to escape from the asylum for the detention of insane criminals at Matteawan, N. \. On that charge Thaw and his abettors in the act were acquitted. The next stage was the examination before a jury as to his fitness to be at large. Here the victim of countless vicissi. tudes in his long fight for freedom was victor, and he was pronounced sane and set free to go his own way.
 Of briefer duration than the Thaw episode, but equally dramatic and fin. tense while it lasted, was the Lso Frank case in Georgia. Frank was sentenced to death, but the sentence was commuted to life imprisonmcnl by the governor. In prison he Wa nearly done to death by a fellow con

CAMPAIGN WORK
is HANDICAPPED

Our county (Stevens) is ripe for or
ganization. A three months campaign,
well directed, would increase our mem
bership 400. We were planning such
campaign when the 2-cent raise in
dues (per diem fund to pay delegates
expenses to state convention) knocked
the matter on the head. / am county
committeeman, from Local Marcus,
and the county committee were about
to submit the question of raising dues
in the county for organization pur-
poses, when this 2-cent raise took
place and the matter had to be
dropped. The Snohomish county re-
solution is well worth considering.
Yours for industrial freedom,
JOHN M. POWERS.

THREE GREAT EVENTS

The plan for the conducting of the
Lyceum course as submitted by the
city central committee, was formally
approved of at the last business meet
ing of Local No. 1. The plan as out
lined provides that the Lyceum COM
mittee consist of three comrades, one
to represent the Northwest Worker,
one the city committee, and one from
the county executive committee. The
net proceeds are to be divided equally
among the three different depart.
ments.
AS has already been stated, this
course, put out by the national office,
consists of three speakers: Ryan
Walker, of Henry Dubb fame; George
r. Kirkpatrick. author of "War-What
For?" and Emil Seidel, former mayor
of Milwaukee.
1t is safe to say that stronger trio
could not have been selected, and the
comrades of Everett have shown their
usual good judgment in taking the
course.
The exact date of their being here
has not yet been decided upon, but it
is hoped that it will be in time to be
useful propaganda factor in the COM
ing municipal campaign
