CHE EM|CA[ TOWN
 IS DANGERS

All the way from "Fairyland" to "Helltown' range the nicknames which have been given to the town of Widnes, in England, by eminent visitors to this strange, busy little world where chemistry is king, says the New York Herald
 The very atmosphere has a vivid artificial quality that makes it differ, ent from other atmosphere. The factories send out great volumes of vari-colored smoke, which help to make the brilliant chemical sun sets for which the town is noted The workmen, many of them, go to their toll attired in strange looking costumes to protect them from the fumes of the gases which they must inhale during their work. They look like beings from another sphere or like weird warriors armed for con. tlict with demons of the underworld.
 "Widnes and the chemical trades chemical compounds which are used to perfect the products of other fac tories are sent out from the town. More alkali is sent out from Widnes than from anywhere else ir the world. Great quantities of soda Co.,! pounds are manufactured to be useu in paper works The cotton mills send to Widnes for their bleaching materials, the potters get their glaZ- ing materials from the town Min ing engineers depend on Widnes for the cyanide process which extracts the gold from it's ore. Hundreds of other substances, such as wall distempers, nitro-glycerin and baking powder are made in Widnes whole ly or in part
 red upon the place by a journalist who once visited it and was horribly impressed by the chemical factories. scientist of equal eminence with the journalist took the opnosite point of view and was so delighted with all the extraordinary processes which were to be seen in the shops that fe called the place "Fairyland" The town Is a flourishing one. The work men make good wages, and in some of the worst trades have short hours, but even so their lives are shorten ed by the unnatural atmosphere which they inhale.
 Among those who have the most hardships to endure in connection with their work are the bleaching powder packers. who breathe through twenty-four thicknesses of flannel, wear goggles and calico clothing around which brown paper is tight ly wrapped This is necessary be- cause these men must enter the l,,, t1l~ turned on lime. It used to be a tradition that nothing green could grow within three miles of Widnes, but the inhabitants, who are very loyal to their unique dwelling place, point proudly to their large and flour ishing park, whose verdant foliage disproves this tradition. There are 30,O00 persons in the town. The men work either in the chemical factories or in irt n or copper works.

PEACE HOPE CROWS;
BERLIN IS PACIFIC
Official and Unofficial Reports Op,
timistiC. President is Encouraged

Washington, June i.-President
Wilson feels encouraged by reports
that the pendlng negotiations be-
tween Germany aud the United
States most surely will have a peace.
ful outcome.
Those who have discussed the
situation with the president aud
other officials IN the last day or two
have found a belief prevalent that
chances for an amieable understand.
ing with Germany are much better
than they have been at any time
since the Lusitania tragedy.
THIS feeling is understood to be
based on both official and unofficial
reports from Berlin, telling Of a
favorable reception there Of the
American note, and on the hope,
too, that dispatches carried by DR..
Anton Meyer Gerhard for German
Ambassador Bernstorff will impress
German officials with the American
point Of view.
Senator Simmons Of North Caro-.
lima, who saw the president during
the evening aud who has been .alk.
ing with other officials about the
situation, spoke tonight Of finding
a general feeling Of optimism.
Il was learned that the president
does not plan to send another note
to Great Britain protesting against
interference with commerce be.
tween the United States and neu.
tral countries of Europe until the
discussion with Germany has shaded
itself more clearly.
Col. K. M. House, the presidents
friend, who arrived in New York
from Europe Yesterday, is expected
to give the president much valuable
information, not only regarding the
feeling in Germany, but about the
possibility Of a modification by
Great Britain ana France of their
blockade operations.
