The city's harbor is roomy and well

Gently landed troops to cooperate with

The rocky ridge of Enos is a back

Thirty miles away is the northern

"Enos, insignificant, built on rock

to the world in its new character as

The Industry WrcrkcrS.
(Ncw York I'rC$S.)


 When are the industry wrcckcrs in the pay of foreign goVernm cntS going to be rounded up?
 Out in Cleveland two city officials have resigned their posts following an investigation which disclosed their relationship to plots for tying up, through strikes, the operations of big industry understood to be filling war orders. They were both of Hungarian origin. and further de- velopments bearing on the muni- tions strikes and fires in that dis trict are expected to come fast.
 The State Fire Marshal of Penn sylvania is quoted as declaring, after investigation, that all the fires in munition-making plants in his region were shown undoubtedly to be in 1 cendiary. At the Eddystone plant the fire was started when water SUD- ply was low and a high wind pre- vailed. At the Roebling works the recent fire which caused a damage of s1,oOo,Ooo was started, gained ra pid headway and then spread be- cause the electric fire alarm system had been put out of business in ad- ! vance
 Thus, all over the country war is being waged in secret against tho industries of this country and vet nothing has been done to stop it. The l Federal Government is seeking to get it's clutches on consular representa- tives of foreign governments, but II makes slow progress in taking he | offenders before grand juries. Mear- while the States within which the crimes were committed have accom-. plished practically nothing. But this sort of thing has got to be stopped l if it takes vigilante committees o1 l American citizens to stOD it.

citement among them, as no one wants to be elected to anything. Vil- lage officers carry with them no honor and small pay. On the other hand, they entail much work. story is told in Russia, that one peasant who had been guilty of some serious mis- demeanor was informed by the pro- per village officer, that, henceforward, he would be incompetent to hold pub- lie office. The miscreant bowed very low and spoke his heartfelt thanks for the new privilege conferred.
 "The village assemblies meet in the open air. All heads of families are competent to join in discussions and to vote Oratory is not tolerated. Honorable members are addressed by simple unaffected 'blockhead'. The village elder presides in a way, his task being to take sense of the ortho- dox' and occasionally to tell members to hold their tongues. Where family in the village is represented by a woman. she has the right of taking part in the assemblies and of voting. In way, woman suffrage is of long standing in Russia despite the male Russians none too f1attering judge ment of his women the hair is long and the mind is short
 "The assembly distributes the land; fixes the moving time, decides when blowing may be undertaken and inter- feres, when it thinks wholesome, in the family affairs of its members. There are innumerable methods by which the land is redistributed. The most simple one is that by which land is parceled out according to the Inn perial Governments list of revision souls Another method of distributing land is in accordance with the work l ing strength of families. The redis- ! tribution may not take place more | often than once in twelve years.
 ''The community decision is law un- to each of it's members, and the peas ant never thinks of disputing what the assembly of his village breathern has determined.
