England's Responsibility

LNNGLAND, on the other hand kept the
- Lusitania at work because she sup
posedly commanded the seas. She boasted
that the ship could not be caught She gave
the warrant of her protection to every pas
senger. She guaranteed safe passage. She
did not assume that the submarines would
not try to get the Lusltania, but, on the con-
trary, ways and means for preventing their
attacks had been discussed. She, having
driven German tonnage off the seas, could
not expect to continue her own commerce
If it were within the might of Germany to
prevent it. Germany had the power, in the
form OF submarines, type of fghting craft

international law. the legality of which. how

Grants Presentiment

talnly they are not lies.
Grants Presentiment
An interesting mention of a presentiment
is contained in the personal Memoirs" of
Ulysses s. Grant, where he is writing of the
time when he was a cadet at West Point
He says: During my first years encamp-
ment General Scott visited West Point and
reviewed the cadets With his commanding
figure, his quite colossal size and snowy uni
form, I thought him the finest specimen of
manhood my eyes had ever beheld and the
most to he envied. I could never resemble
him in appearance, but I believe l did have
a presentiment for a moment that some day
I should occupy his place on review-al-
though I had no intention then of remaining
in the army" General Grant speaks of the
presentiment in another place and treats
it with considerable respect
Premonitory dreams are to be recl,oned
among presentiments. Joseph we read in
the Gospel of Matthew, was warned in a.
dream ito take the young child and his
mother and flee into Egypt" and then.
when Herod had died, he received the dream
command, Arise, and take the young child
and his mother and go into the land of
Israel" Premonitory dreams Of such i'm
port as these come, of course, to few
people.
Sometimes all nature seems to have a
premonition. In the play of Macbeth" the
deep damnation of Duncan's taking off made
the night unruly.
Some say, the earth
Was feversh and did shade"
1t was a wondrous hush that fell lIpon the
world with the advent of the Christ Child
Milton sings the uncomprehending awe Of
nature and of men:
No war, or battles sound
Was heard the world around
The idle spear and shield were high uphupp.
The hooked chariot stood
Unstain'd with hostile blood;
The trumpet spake not to the armed tbrors.
And kings sat still with awful eve
AS II they surely knew their sovran Lord was
by. N was
But peaceful was the night
Wherein the Prince of Light
His reign of Peace upon the earth baPar.

Smoothly the waters kist,
Whispering new joys to the mild OCEAN

While birds Of calm sit broodng on the charp,aa

Dipped in the Immortality of Martyrdom
THE wife of the physician TO the King Of
i Belgium, who has been in this country
raising funds for the relief of her stricken
countryrpen, went down with the Lusitania
1t Is the irony of fate that the force which
drove her people into exile and sanctlfed by

struck, too, this noble woman, messenger
of mercy, and dipped her into the inn

Brewery Workers

The Brewery Workers of Milwaukee
newed for period OF three years with
Increase in wages of from $l.5O to 81
per week and other favorable changes in
their working conditions. After several
weeks conference with their employers
the men were forced to go on strike in
order to secure their demands. This
strike. however, only lasted two days,
and on Saturday all men returned to
work under their new agreement. Those
receiving the highest increase We're the
engineers. who received an increase in
wages of 81 per week. More than 5000
men will be benefited.
Since Governor Carlson has signed the
prohibition bill, the local brewery work
ers are getting ready to make applica-
tion to Mr.. Finch and his reformers as
clerks in the additional grocery stores,
butcher shops, clothing stores, etc, that
will start up as soon as the saloons go
out. as they promised the people before
election that for every saloon that closed
zap store of some kind would GO in.
They explained this by stating that peo-
pie would eat more, wear out more cloth
ing after the saloons are put out OF
business. This may be the case in Colo
RADIO, but it has not proven so in other
dry states.
Other members are making arrange
ments to establish pop corn and peanut
stands in front of the different churches
and rs a side line will sell prayer books.
This, no doubt will be very profitable
business. Others say they are going to
farm and will file on homesteads ON Cur
tis street. ON which they intend to raise
grapes to supply wine to the churches
SO that it will not be necessary to have
it imported from wet state. So there
is no occasion for the brewery workers
to be alarmed about being out of work
after January / 1916, as they will imme-
diateiy be given other and more profit
able employment. This at least was
promised before election by the reverend
gentlemen Of the city, and of course they
will keep their promise.

craft in Denver, having visited this city

LATHERS.

Last week the Lathers' Union went on
strike in Chicago, because 33 large con-
tractors refused to sign a new agree
ment presented by the union embracing
a wage increase of 25 cents day to the
scale, making it SO. The contractors
did not, however, refuse to sign the
agreement because of the raise in wages
but because it was not a uniform agree
ment adopted by the Building Trades
Council and the Construction Employers
association, to the latter of which the re-
fusing contractors belong.
Many of the building trades unions
are in revolt against the uniform agree
ment. and the Lathers' union was recent
ly expelled from the Building Trades
Council because the union declined to ac-
cept and abide by it. Now other unions
have Joined in the strike, and the outlook
is that it will become widespread and
intense in its activity.
