DID NOT WARN
RELIEF SHIP
Ulriken, Torpedoed by Ger
mans, Carried a Gift
Cargo of Wheat
AMERICAN SAILORS
WERE AMONG CREW

The Fact That the Ship Carried Food
for Relief of Starving Belgians Has
Caused Consulate to Prosecute Rigid
Inquiries.
LONDON, Nov. 2O.-The sinking of
the Norwegian steamer Ulriken in the
North Sea early in the week, with a
cargo of 5000 tons of wheat from
Americans for the Belgian relief fund,
is being investigated by the American
consulate here. The facts ascertained
by the consulate were that the Ulriken,
while bound from New York for Rot
terdam, was torpedoed without warn
ing off the east coast of England.
Four of the crew were lost, but it is
not known whether any of them were
Americans. Twenty of the crew were
saved and put in at east coast ports.
The ship's carpenter, an American, is
known to be among the survivors. The
consulate has a brief statement from
him coming through the British au-
thorities, that a German submarine at
tackled the Ulriken after chasing her
for an hour. No. warming was given
to the crew to get off the ship, which
sank within an hour.
The fact that the ship conveyed
wheat sent by Americans for the relief
of the starving Belgians has caused
the consulate to prosecute rigid inquir-
les. The torpedoing of the ship, which
was flying the Norwegian flag, is stated
here to have been directly contrary to
the recent promise of the German
government not to sink neutral steam
crs without first giving an opportunity

DIED WHILE WATERING COWS.
Mrs. T. H. Ranney of st. Johnsbury
Finds Husbands Body.

ST. JOHNSBURY, Nov. 90. - Mrs.
Fremont H. Ranney found her hus-
band s dead body partly submerged in
water in the trough where he watered
his stock, when she went to the barn
last night to call him to supper. Death
was due to a shock, sustained probably
just as he drove the cows to water.
Physicians believe the man was dead
before he struck the trough in his fall
He was about go years old and q
well-to-do farmer. He is survived by
his wife, two children, Nelson Ranney
and Mrs. Nelson R. Petty.

SALOON AND LABOR PROBLEM.

We make no claim that closed
saloon will settle the labor problem;
we do not believe it will We do affirm
that there never will be found solu-
lion co., tho labor i,robien that ignorss
the saloon and allows it to continue,
whether run by the individual or by
the brewer for profit or run by the gov
eminent without profit. Labor cannot
carry 100000 rum shops on its back
and prosper under any system.
The kingdom of labor will not have
come when the door of the saloon is
shut; there will still be Industrial
wrongs to right and other economic
problems to solve; but the largest sin
gle immediate contribution toward
that consummation, the swiftest relief
that can be applied, Is the abolition of
the liquor traffic in the United States.
1t Is the one thing that as the barrier
to all other reform must be removed.
To every son of toll who is ground
beneath the millstones Of low wages
and high cost of living, we have but
one message. "In the name of God and
home and native land, rise up and vote
for prohibition. Clinton Howard.

not the prohibition of the liquor traf-
fic," says DR.. Lyman Abbott, but the
action of liquor dealers has made
regulation impossible"
The secretary of the Ohio Temper
ance Union Ga liquor organization
wrote to Doctor Abbott asking for a
letter which could be used in the state
prohibition campaign. Doubtless he
is sorry he did it, The reply came as
an open letter in the Outlook and Is
a severe arraignment of the saloon as
a lawbreaker. It's law-defying pro-
pensities have, In the judgment OF
Doctor Abbott, been it's undoing We
quote:
"The American people are charac-
teristically conservative and slow in
coming to a conclusion. But they are
coming to the conclusion. though
slowly, that the American saloon is
not only local nuisance but a ma
tional calamity and are resolving to
abolish it.
"The question is not, Is beer use
full article of food?
1T is not, Is moderate drinking
wrong?
at is not, Does the Bible prohibit
or permit moderate drinking?
"These questions the people would
prefer to leave each individual free
to determine for himself.
"But they are not willing TO leave
each individual to determine for him
self whether the laws enacted by the
community shall be obeyed. That
question the community will decide.
and it will suffer any inconvenience,
any deprivation. which may be neces-
sary to secure such obedience. This
is the meaning of the present prohibit
tory movement.
But If the people are compelled to
choose between an unregulated and
lawless liquor traffic and the prohibit
ton of the liquor traffic, do not
doubt that they will choose prohibit
ton. II we cannot reform the saloons.
we shall abolish them. And If we can
find no other way to abolish them, we
shall abolish the distillery, the brew
cry, the winery and the Importation
of liquor from abroad"

ALCOHOL AND TUBERCULOSIS.

The following resolution was passed,
by the International Congress on Tu-
berculosis. held in Paris, at which
some 1000 medical scientists were
present: THAT in view Of the close
connection between alcoholism and
tuberculosis, this congress strongly
emphasizes the Importance of combin-
ing the fight against tuberculosis with
the struggle against alcoholism"
At the International Alcohol Con-
gress at Bremen, Professor Segran, a
distinguished Frenchman, said that
the use of alcohol predisposes the
system to tuberculosis and also pre-
vents cures. The real individual and
social treatment for tuberculosis con-
sists in thes strictest total abstinence

OBJECTS TO LIQUOR DEALER.

My objection to the liquor dealer is
the same as my objection to the bed
bug. For all know, the bedbug may
be entirely above reproach. SO far as
his social relations are concerned. He
may be regular in his religious duties,
gentle in his home and prompt in pay
ing his bills. He may be frugal and in
dustrious and blameless in every civic
duty and domestic obligation. He may
be kind to his wife and children,
obliging to his neighbors, generous to
the outcast and worthy of the vote OF
his congressional district. But my OBJ
lection to him is the way he gets his
living.-T. Alexander Cairns.
