 Officials Refuse Them.

Up to the present time the men are still out. The fervor and enthusiasm of the strikers is such that it is unlikely that they will return to the foundry unless the officials agree to grant the demands, the wOrkmen at this time enjoying the best prospects of obtain ing increased wage in some other concern.
 According to person cOnversant with tho situation, the strikers asked the company to advance the piece work scale so as to make it possible for them to earn SIS week. As it stands at present, it is reported that many of the mon were unable to earn over S1.75 a day, due to the poor grade of work. The worllmen wish to retain the piece work scale but in CaS0S WnGrC q WOTkCr IS not dDle IO reach the SIS mark the company is asked to add this much to his weekly stipend.
 Although the workers have been out since last Wednesday nothing in re- gard to the strike was made public until today .... .s ..
 The strikers are holding meetings daily in one of the local halls, and there is plenty of enthusiasm being displayed by the men. It is said that a number Of tho workmen have re- ceived offers from other concerns and the present indications are that tn 2 local company will soon be in quest of workmen to fill the vacancies

One of the First to Volunteer.

The many friends of pr. Travis will be delighted to learn that after her many hardships in the war zone, she has at last returned safely to her na- tive land and they will eagerly await her return to this city.
 When the great war broke out and volunteer medical and nurse corps were organized in this country pr. Travis was one of the foremost voun- teers. Laying aside a lucrative prac- tice here, she went to Europe where she did a noble work among the Serb ians She was stationed for a long time at Nish and also at SalOnka as well as other points well forward on the fighting line. At one time Dr. Travis declined to retreat with the al lied forces and was captured when the forces of the central powers took the city. Owing to the humanitarian and neutral work which she was do- ing she was not moleSted.
 When Dr. Travis is able to grant an interview her story promises to be one well worth hearing.

PANAMA CANAL IS
 NOT IMPROBABLE
Army Maneuvers Demonstrate Feasi- bility Of Overland Attacks From
 Two Points, Says Gen. Edwards.

Panama, April 28.-The army maneuvers in the canal zone, under- taken on an extensive scale to work out the problems connected with the defense of the Pacific entrance to the canal, have reached an interesting stage.
 The Blue Army, commanded by Colonel Charles G. Morton, which yesterday reached Chorrera on it's march to defend the canal, came in contact this morning with the Orange Army under Colonel John S. Mallory which is attacking the canal after theoretically having affected a land ing near the village of New Gergona.
 A contact was made between the opposing cavalry outposts, which pre- sages that the main action between the opposing forces probably will come within two days.
 According to Brigadier General Clarence E. Edwards, commander of the canal zone, the maneuvers already have demonstrated the feasibility of a hostile attack overland from either Chame bay or near Aguadulce.

New Britain IriShmen Contributed Literally, Maybe for EXpedi-

GREAT INTEREST SHOWN
 IN SITUATION IN ERIN
Sons of tho Emerald Isle Deeply Con- cerned Over Revolution-John De- voy's Recent Visit to This City Thought to Have Significance in View of Attempt to Land Arms Which Came to Grief.


 While Irishmen and Irish-Amer- jeans in this city are much in the dark concerning the revolutionary activities in Dublin and other cities of Ireland in no city in this country are the events being followed with greater in terest than New Britain. This city has been the home for years of men loyal to Erin's cause men who have given freely of their means and time to the effort for Ireland's freedom
 Although it is difficult to secure defln-
 lte statements of local activities, it is freely said, that funds for the Irish
 cause have been subscribed in this
 city within recent date. Whether this action was. taken following the visit to the city during the winter of John Devoy, the aged F'enian and worker for Irish liberty cannot be stated, but it is believed by those close to the move
 ment that a considerable sum was
 collected here to finance the ill-fated
 expedition of Sir Roger Easement An Irishman prominent in the ranks
 of the separationists said today tho present movement is significant of a deep seated desire for Irish independ- ence. These men hold to the belief that England's misfortune is IreIands opportunity and scorn at all talk of home rule The present home rule bill which was shelved when the war broke out, is 8 joke said the Her. aids informant and those who have | Ireland's welfare at heart believe it.

Against Harsh Measures.

London, April 2S, 4:2S a. m.--Deal- ing with the Irish situation, the Daily Chronicle urges the government against the adoption of too harsh measures, adding: ''The imm ediatc situation ought not to present great difficulties. Indeed, it is not easy to understand how the Sim FeinerS have been able to hold out for days in Dub lin. We should have thought that all military arguments would favor crushing the movement in the capital with the utmost ra pidity, for every day that it protracts it's theatrical re- sistance must add to the risk of it's finding imitators elsewhere. If re- luctance to destroy bricks and mortar has delayed the bonn bardmen of rebel buildings 1t has been a very short sighted reluctance. But while strong military action must be the first es- sential we hope that trials under mar tia1-law and the use of the military for any but strictly military opera tions will be avoided so far as possi- ble.
 Wants Investigation.
 we hope, too, there will be a prompt and honest inquiry into the motives of the rebels and the best means for bringing them back to h cir scenes. A commission composed of acknowledged Irish leaders to assist in dealing with the rebels and nego- tiate their surrender might be of great service. Sir Edward Carson and John Redmond are ready to cooperate in this way. The object to be timed

Honors for the third days campaign for the Boys club were captured by the ladies, when the team explained by Mrs. H. L. Mills reported the hand some result of their efforts as $1,296 To Captain c. F. Bennetts team went second honOrs for securing the great CT amount of subscriptions and to Captain H. H. Pease the honor for reporting the round sum of $666. Captain Pease's team, it would seem, sticks closely to a similarity in fig ures, his report of yesterday being $88S. The weather which was out of sorts today had a tendency to keep away a few of the workers, but those on hand were well repaid by the ex- cellent repast served. The luncheon committee looking for further honors to those already achieved, had the hall prettily decorated. The orches- tra, which has featured by it's sweet strains every day, is also growing in the popularity of the diners.
 Rev. H. w. Maier of the First church was called upon this noon to offer grace before the exercises were commenced. Part way through the meal, s. M. Bard gave a brief talk in regard to some of the details pertain ing to the conducting of the cam paign.
 No Lunch Tomorrow.
 It was announced that in the future the luncheon would commence at 12:10 o'clock instead of 12:15 o'clock. There will be no luncheon tomorrow, and this will afford the workers double time in which to . bolster up the fast swelling fund. MT. Bard said that some of the per- sons on lists had been approached by others but this was through a. mis- understanding and would be averted in the remainder of the campaign. A list containing the names of the members of the teams was passed among the diners, and it was ex- plained that in this way it will be easier to keep in touch with one an- other provided a captain of a team wishes to discuss the work with a member of another team. He also urged the captains not to put any amount on the inside of the en- Velopes, which did not correspond with the contents. This was done yesterday in several instances which has caused some confusion among those in charge. The speaker recom- mended the securing of the reports of Superintendent Crawford, which gives a fair idea of the accomplish ments with the boys at the club. He also outlined the manner in which the canvassers should approach per sons and told them not to ask for charity but to explain that i was a work that would benefit the com munity.

SCREENINGS MAKE GOOD FEED
Sheep Gain From Twelve to Fifteen
Pounds During First Thirty Days,
Says Ontario Station.

The Ontario experiment station has
found that screenings are used in
large quantities for the winter feeding
of sheep, the sheep being taken from
the range and fed for about 30 days.
At first they are given only hay, then
small quantity (one-half pound a
day. of light, chaffy screenings is add
ed. Gradually the quantity OF screen
ings is increased until in about a
week or ten days. the sheep have ac-
cess to the self feeders" from which
they eat all the screenings they care
for (about two pounds a day.. At the
same time the proportion of chaff in
the screenings is decreased and the
proportion of grain increased. Grad
ually the screenings are replaced with
corn.
On the screenings the sheep usually
gain from ~ to is pounds during the
first 80 days, after that less rapidly.
1t Is stated that $4,000 sheep will eat
about two cars of screenings and a
car OF corn per day. Seed-house
screenings and screenings containing
a large proportion OF broken flax are
avoided. Another use that is made of
elevator screenings is in the manufac-
ture of mixed feeds. chiefly molasses
feeds.
