the criminal" 1nis was too much for
her. She tainted and was carried ON,
of the courtroom.
The next Development In thu n.su
was that Lucy sent for her Jov.-,.
counsel and confessed to him thar Z.
was she and not James who had forood
the will This set new complexion on
the case for the attorney He had t,vo
confessions, one from James, the otha-
from Lucy Anderson The former ba
had never believed. and as the case
had proceeded he had conceived a Srs
picion that james was shielding Soma
one When Lucy had tainted on hear.
ing that the forser must have beao
woman the lawyer made UP his mind
that he had reached a solution Of thu
problem
He consulted with hts client, inform.
ing him of Lucy's confession. Jamss
did not seem 10 be surprised on hear.
ing Of It, but stolidly adhered 20 vha,
he had said, declaring that Lucy had
confessed to save him from disgrace
and Imprisonment He begzed ha-
counsel to conceal the latest cohesion
and, II he could not save him on a t.ch.
nicality, TO let the case go against him
The prisoner was convicted, largely
on the evidence Of Mrs Torrance Bakar
who at the time the viii was made ar
supposed TO have been made was IN
very friendly terms with the testator
James received his conviction stotcallv
as though conscious OF doing a pobla
action instead OF having committed n
crime Lucy was again carried ont Of
the courtroom In 4 swoon. Shortly AFT.
er the Ending of the verdict James was
sentenced to ten years Imprisonment
in the state penitentiary.
Just before he was to be taken to
prison who should turn up but Francis
Baker. the second husband OF Mrs.
Torrance Baker. who had been sctiva
In securing young Anderson's convic.
ton. He had been "a the interior Of
South America
Bakers return produced a great
boUleversement in the situation. He
had witnessed a subsequent win to the
one mentioned, leaving all his estate
10 his nephew with a provision that
he should marry his cousin Lucy. 4
new hunt was instituted and this viii
found. Torrance also testified that the
signature TO the VIII James Anderson
had been convicted of forging was
genuine.
James Anderson's counsel applied
for n new trial The application was
granted. and at the second trial, which
was a mere form, the accused was &C
quilted He had been shielding Lucy
under the belief that she had forged
the viii. and she later had attempted TO
shield him. thinking to save him by
her own sacrifice.
They were ready enough TO comply
with the provisions Of the second viii
and were married accordingly

Correspondence Of the As
sociated Press.) The British Trans
port Workers Federation has publish
ed q pamphlet by its secretary, Robert
Williams. summarizing the efforts Of
British trades unionists and socialists
during the past few years to unite the
socialists Of all the countries OF Europe
in an offensive and defensive alliance
against war. The ideal of the British
leaders was to make any international
declaration OF war the signal for q
universal strike of all trade unionists
in the countries affected
The pamphlet deals in large part
with the attitude of German socialists.
las far back as 1910, efforts were made
az the International Socialist Congress
at Copenhagen TO pass a resolution ad-
vocating a general strike in the event
OF war between any OF the great pow
ers," says Mr.. Williams. When the
resolution was passing through the
preliminary stages of committee, it
was superseded by an academic in
dictment of war, and by a resolution
which referred the subject of general
strike back TO the various socialist and
labor parties for further consideration
and report. This was engineered by
the German and Austrian delegates.
The matter was thus adjourned IN
til 1913. In that year similar reso-
luton was placed on the program for
discussion at the conference of the
National Transport Workers FeAra-
ton. The resolution, as submitted to
the executive council of the British or
ganization. threatened positive action
in the event of war being imminent.
The resolution, as submitted TO the
executive council of the British or
ganization, threatened positive action
in the event of war being imminent
The resolution was sent 10 the interna-
tionaI headquarters in Berlin for ap-
proval, but to our intense surprise a
letter was returned to the effect that
our resolution was not to be placed be-
fore the convention. The international
secretary wrote that the resolution
should not be published for tactical
reasons, as he feared that a hostile
press would cause the governments OF
the various countries to adopt the
severest possible means against those
who were members OF the information
al organization. Our forces he added.
are not yet sufficient TO cope with mill
itarism-'
'Agai- in July. 1913. when the In
teruationaI Miners Congress was held
at Karlsbsd. the president of the Brit
ish Federation made a similar pro-
posal, but the president of the German
union replied: The Germans have
always been of the opinion that it was
not advisable to deal with the ques-
ton of peace and war as a part of the
program

So blue. so luminous with sun:

We heard n thunder OF footsteps run
Under a darkness settling there.

And heaved. and like 4 wounded

Came the hoarse-herded CRY Of those
Who blindiy massed 20 night for

Room, Give US air A breathing space!
The sunlight and the land for all,
Each lifted up a stifed face.
and battered door. and beat at vail.
and surged against resurgent horde
For space 20 SOW his little seed.

Stole fear lest v-e should come TO this.
And prove US brother % the beast.
