compulsory employees insurance law.
Not long ago a driver for Cincin-
natl brewery, during high water, was
told by saloonkeeper to deliver a
key of beer by rolling it into the back
yard instead of putting it into the
cellar. He reached his hand through
a hole in the gate to unlock the
latch and bulldog grabbed his hand.
The industrial commission of Ohio
has just decided that since the work.
man was injured in the course of-em-
ployment he is entitled to compensa-
ton for his injuries. ..-..
Before the former workmen's com
pensation act was in force Miller
could have sued the saloonkeeper and
the saloonkeeper would have said,
miller assumed the risk. Under the
later workman's compensation act
Miller could not have recovered from
his employer, the brewery, because
his employer had not been negligent.
If he was successful in either suit his
lawyers would have paid the expens-
es of the trial first and then taken out
their half of the verdict Under the
state insurance plan, Miller, who was
really hurt, gets full compensation
and the lawyers get nothing.
DISCRIMINATION, ALL RIGHT.

The medical faculty was put to

1t Ia generally agreed that more
blood has been spilled In the Ypres
salient than over any similar length
OF line on the western front. with the
exception OF Souchez. where the
French made their reat attack in May
ard June.
The blowing up OF q mine under the
GERMAN trench some weeks ago made
dooge about the hottest point in the
fpres salient. 1t was one of the
largest mines the British had ever
exploded to begin with. and 1t made
hole in the earth about 40 feet deep
and 70 feet across. The British charged
IN and took possession Of It.
In reply to the mine the Germans
brought up their flame ejector ap-
paratus. which they had tried on the
French before but now used on the
English for the first time. Mean

Reck Not the Cost.
The rule in the Ypres salient seems
to be never to lie down tamely under
any setback. Both sides fight to re-
cover a loss, no matter what the cost.
Sanguinary battles are waged for few
acres of ground.
All one day the British kept an al
most continuous roar OF shells over
other parts of the salient. They made
the German trenches boil with dust
under clouds of shrapnel smoke. The
German guns replied. They threw In

PORFlRIO DIAZ, ExlLED
MEXICAN DICTATOR, DEAD
General Who Was for Thirty-Five
Years Ruler Of Republic,
Dies in Paris.

Paris.-General Porfirio Diaz, for
mer president of Mexico, died Friday.
General Diaz's wife, Sonora Carmen
Romero Rubio Diaz, and their son, Por-
firio Diaz, jr., and the latter's wife
were at the bedside when the end
came.
General Diaz resigned the presiden-
cy of Mexico May Is, 1911, as the re-
suit of an agreement with Francisco
Madero Jr., whose revolution had been
successful. Madero later became pres
ident. General Diaz had held the presi-
idency for 25 years, during which he
was virtually dictator. He was a vet
eran of the war with the United States
and Of Herrera's revolt and led the
forces which captured Mexico City in
1867, reestablishing the republic.
To Diaz was given credit for the ad-
vance of Mexico to the status of a
progressive and prosperous govern.
ment, although the autocratic meth.
DDS he employed were widely criti-
cized.

SEVERAL CASES.
The Issue Is of Great Importance to
American Shipping-BerIin Makes
Kick About Use of U. s. Flag
on Foreign Boats.

Washington.-Searc investiga-
ton is being conducted by the United
States into several cases in which it
has been officially reported that Brit
ish ships flew the American flag ap-
parently to avoid attacks by German
submarines.
Reports have been received, not
only from Ambassador Gerard in Ber-
lin, but through American consular
sources in Great Britain with affi-
davits and other evidence tending to
sho walleged misuse of the Stars and
Stripes.
The issue is regarded as Of such
Importance to the safety of ships real
ly entitled to flw the American flag,
that a note may soon be sent by the
United States to Great Britain renew
ing the representations previously
made concerning any general use Of
the American emblem by British YES
sells.
Some of the affidavits thus far re-
ceived state that in certain cases the
British admiralty's agents have con-
suited with the masters of vessels and,
instructing them to take certain
courses. advised the use of the Amer
lean flag.
The United States will not act until
it has received complete information,
but in view of the emphasis which is
laid in Berlin upon the dangers Of
such a practice, Ambassador Gerard's
information in specific cases as obtain
ed from the German government Is
being carefully investigated. Suffi-
cient proof, 1t was stated authorita-
lively, had already been gathered to
cause officials to consider the max
ing of new representations on the sub
ject.

BUSINESS SHOWS IMPROVEMENT
On West Coast Lumber Is Depressed,
But Stock and Crops Are Good.

Washington. Information about
business conditions throughout the
country in June, as reported by fed
eral reserve agents, is announced.
San Francisco reported the lumber
industry very depressed and said
lack of ships hampered exports. Bust
ness conditions in the northwest can
not be good, it was declared, until
lumber and shingles can be marketed
at a profit. The live stock industry
was prosperous, and wool was being
contracted for at high prices. Wheat
acreage had been increased and the
hay crop was expected to be the heav-
lest in 10 years. Oil was in no worse
situation than for several months past.
The promise was for a good orange
crop.
New York bankers throughout the
state were quoted as reporting that
crops had a good start and that in
creased activity and better employ
ment for labor in many industries
were shown.
Bank deposits generally were said
to be increased and collections fair.
Domestic business in the Philadel-
phia district was reported still be-
low normal, although manufacturers
and jobbers were looking more cheer
fully to the future than few months
ago.
Cleveland reported business in some
large industrial plants with special
lines as booming, with general bust
ness only fair"
Chicago reported steady but slow
progress. There was more activity in
iron and steel lines.
st. Louis reported the output of
manufacturers who have no products
available for Europe still below nor.

Minneapolis said weather conditions
undoubtedly had damaged the north
western corn crop, but 1t was too early
to estimate the effect. Wheat was in

good demand for horses In the Da

ma wool crop fas expected to be clip
ped at good prices.
Crop and financial conditions in the
Kansas City district were reported
excellent. There was surplus Of har
