ENGLISH FARMERS
 BAR IRISH LABOR
 FEARING TROUBLE

London, Aug. 25.-Hundreds of Irishmen, young and old, are walking the streets of many English towns be- cause they have been refused employ ment on harvest work, in quest of which they crossed the Irish sea. The English laborers have barred the Irish and the English farmers refuse places to them for fear of getting into diff ficulties with the native labor.
 The whole trouble is said to be due to the fact that while English labor in the army is in Ireland receiving one shilling a. day as government pay the Irish laborers from provisions of the military service act take their places in England at six and seven shillings day.
 In Lincolnshire and other impor- tant farming countries on the east coast the situation is said to have grown serious. There is no. denying that labor is needed to harvest the crops, but the farmers are unable to employ the Irish. They have been told that rupture will result which will leave them without any labor at all. The difficulty is said to be in- creased by the shopkeepers in the v1l- lages who decline to sell them food.

SUFFER FROM HEAT
 IN ARCTIC CIRCLE

Stockholm, Aug. 25.-Travelers re- turning from the North this summer are complaining of he intense heat prevailing at the southern edge of the Arctic Circle. Travellers to Russia, who have had to make the journey by rail all the way around the Gulf of Bothnia, say they have suffered in tensely from the heat while on the northern reaches of their four days trip.
 At Haparaida. where passengers transfer from Sweden to Finland, the temperatures this summer have rang ed from 10 to 20 degrees warmer than here in Stockholm, several hundred miles to the south. This difference is of course attributed to the longer hours of sunshine prevailing in the North. Haparanda being but a short sun.
 In company with the rest of Eur ope Sweden turned up the clock one hour this summer, although day light saving was hardly a necessity in this land of long twilights and white nights. Daylight football games have been played this summer begin ming at S:20 p. m.. and eighteen holes of golf have been possible after ' o'clock dinner.
