LONDON, July 27.-Au Earl isn't
a bad sort Of scout at all.
Joseph Echwald, a San Francisco
tobacco salesman, called the Earl of
Limerick Earl" invited him to have
a little something" and got away with
it while astonishing Britishers CAPPED
in amazement.
Further than that, the d,ce-box being
handy, he taught the Earl to shoot
craps and learned from him an equally
fascinating British pastime with the
dice.
1t happended aboard the American
liner s.. Louis, from New York to
Liverpool Eichwald, ,org ON con-
VITALITY but short on formal English
etiquette, spied his Grace seated at
a grcen-covrred table in the smoking
loom. Two friends were with him.
I'D like to ask he Earl to have a
drink" he conGded to his travelling
companions,
"weu, woy don't YOU? asked one
Of them.
Eichwald did.
"Hey, Earl" he called across the
room, "have drink ."
The Earl would, when he recovered
from the momeutary shock, and NOV
ed over to the Americans table TO
have it.
Eichwald's companions, an Austral-
ian and an American from st. Louis.
began nudging the dice for scvens,
Ievens and points" for uppencc.
Eichwald, the Earl's co-star in the
little smoking-room skit, seized the
bones and faded the pair tuppencc.
Then he talked to the dice
"Oh-h-h, Ba-aby dice! Turn over

MN nm,

10 pop-ahr' he pleaded. "Mm-mm,
Dice! Oh-seven."
His Grace leaned over the table,
watching the bones intently, trying
to make" the game. 1t was beyond
him and Eichwald explained that elf
YOU make seven or eleven on the first
roll, you win; two, three, or twelve
YOU lose the fade" but not the dice"
and on down through the intricacies of
the negro game.
Then the Earl took the bones and
the quartet shot an imaginative game
in this method, with $4,000 pounds at
stake ON each turn, Eichwald scarcely
downing an impulse to slap him on
the back and call him "Limmy."
No. indeed; an Earl isn't bad sort
at all.

CONDITIONS IMPROVE
 SAYS PRES. GOMPERS
Says Ways Have Gone Up As Well As Living in Thirty
 Years.

Washington, April 11.--President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor denied today before a house committee, that living expenses have increased 15 per cent. in the United States during the last ten years, while wages had not advanced proportion- ately
 Tn the last twelve years,' he said, wages, hours of employment and conditions of labor nave i'm proved in the United States beyond any other period of any people in the history of the world. The price trend of essen tials since 1879 have been downward. We have enlarged what we call the es- sentials of life in the last thirty years so that is no comparison between what the cost of them was and what it is today.''
 MT. Gompers said testimony pro- duced by friends of the London So- cialist Insurance bill was the work of scientific hamfatters." If what they said was true, his efforts and those of labor workers were wasted he said.
 As a substitute for the London bill, which looks to the esta blishment of compulsory social insurance, MT. Gompers offered a measue that would make such insurance voluntary. Both would provide for exhaustive social surveys

Quincy, Mass, April 11-Charles Sumner Bird, ex-Progressive candi- date for governor a candidate for 8 place on the Massachusetts delega- ton to the Republican National Con- vention, and who favors the nomina- ton of Theodore Roosevelt for pres ident, spoke at a rally here last night

NOTE FROM GERMANY
 MAY BE ON ITS WAY
Evidence Indicates Submarine Ac- tiyity Despite Disclaimer From
 Berlin-Situation Is Grave.

Washington, April 11.-Germany's note in response to inquiries of the American government regarding the destruction of the English Channel steamer Sussex and other unarmed merchant ships with Americans aboard, was expected to be started on it's way to the United States today. Unofficial advices received here said that the communication would be in the hands of Ambassador Gerard by today and forecast Germany's denial of responsibility for the attacks
 The German disclaimer cannot, the administration is convinced, clear up the grave situation brought on by re- cent attacks, as the evidence at hand indicates illegal submarine operations.
 An announcement of the attitude of the Washington government is not looked for until after Fridays cabinet meeting. when it is hoped that the German note and information sought from various sources will be at hand. It is fully expected that some definite step will then be taken, although officials decline to discuss it's nature A diplomatic rupture however, is not believed to be imminent.
