 OF STRIKERS.

 Wandering about the water front streets in gangs that at times attain ed the size of mobs, striking long shoremen last night claimed two vic tins whom they brought down with blows from brass knuckles. Neither was a nonunion man, or interested in the longshoremen's strike. Several times motorcycle policemen were sent from the police station to the aid of others whom the strikers were follow ing, and to disperse gatherings.
 Chris Herstrom, a fireman aboard the West Seattle ferry boat Dauntless, living at 1920 Victoria avenue, West Seattle, was attacked by gang of striking longshoremen and knocked down with a blow in the face by one of the men, who was armed with brass knuckles, last evening at Vest ern avenue and Marion street. Hers trom lodged one of the blows aimed at him, and while doing so called out to his assailant that he was not a strikebreaker; that he was a member of the marine firemen's union and had his credentials with him. No atten- tion was paid to his statement. Hers trom was attended in the city hospital for a severe gash over one of his eyes.
 J. Heber, an employe of the Centen- ial mill, was assaulted on the water front at the foot of Washington street last night by one of two men who tried to stop him with a question as to where he worked. The assailant was armed with brass knuckles. Heber was knocked down by the blow. At the city hospital a jagged gash in Heber's scalp at the side of the head was at tended Heber said he did not know either of the men, but had seen them doing picket duty since the longshore- mems strike was started.

Did President Wilson
 Keep Us Out Of War?
Special Correspondent.)


 Claims that President Wilson has Kept us out of war" are so redicul- ously untrue that it is amusing to those who know the facts, declared Representative Charles F. Curry, of California, in a statement here today.
 His refusal to recognize Huerta as the de facto President of Mexico, as was done by European nations, en- couraged bandit chiefs to continue their guerrilla warfare. Since then his vicillating policy, putting on em- bargoes one day and lifting them the another tomorrow, dictating who should not be a candidate for the Presidency of Mexico, and his meddle- some muddling generally, caused by his personal antipathy to Huerta, pro- ionged the revolutions.
 President Wilson committed two acts of war against Mexico. One pun tive expedition was for the avowed purpose of compelling Huerta to fire salute of twenty-one guns to our flag; a number of American Marines and MeXicans were killed at Vera Cruz; the supply of note paper at the White House was exhausted, but the salute was not fired. The second pun itive expedition was after the raid on Columbus and was to get Villa dead or alive Villa still lives and is at liberty.
 "The President called for a confer ence of Mexican factions to establish de facto government but said he would not recognize the leader of any faction that failed to attend Carran "a was the only leader that refused to pay attention to the conference and President Wilson recognized him.
 "In handling the Mexican situation the Wilson administration has invar- iably done those things it ought not to have done and left undone those things it ought to have done
 The President has reiterated and his mouthpieces have claimed so often that he is entitled to the credit of keeping us out of the European war that many persons accept the state ments as true. Neither the Allies nor the Central Powers want the United States to become involved in the con fict.
 Nothing can involve us in that con Hict unless we deliberately cease to maintain strict neutrality and blund- CT into it. The United States is three thousand miles away from the Europ- can conflict. Denmark, Holland, Swe- den, Norway, and Switzerland arc right at the doors of the warning na. tions and yet these little countries are not involved It is absurd for the Presidents partisans to claim that he has kept us out of war.
 "The President is an exceedingly erudite, well-meaning, kindly. polish ed gentleman, possessing more book learning and less wisdom than any of his predecessors. During the time he has occupied the Presidential chair
