 Sixth, the workman is denied com pensation, and justly, if his injury is caused by his own wilful act. But there is no similar clause denying the benefit of the act to the employ CT who Wilfully causes the injury. In cases where the injury is caused by the employer failing to observe the safety appliance laws, or is guil- ty of wilful misconduct, or gross the damages to be paid the injured employee should not be limited. In other words the law shouldn't put a premium on the neg ligence of the employer.
 These are only a few of the radi- cal defects in the law as it stands. There are others which will no doubt suggest themselves to the leg islature when the subject comes up But enough has been said to show

 In the meantime the employers and their attorneys are wilfully see ing that none of the newspapers controlled by them mention the sub- ject.

COMPENSATION LAW IS VICIOUS

loses a leg; under the law he is entitled to $1440; is he paid that sum? No! The employer sits tight; after while the workman gets around and asks for his money; he is cooly told that the employers law yer advises against payment as he has good defense; the cripple con- suits a lawyer, and is told that if he sues he can get only $1440, and that it will cost him half or third of that sum for expenses of suit. Meanwhile the company's de- tectiye is keeping tab on the vic tims' movements, and can make shrewd guess as to the gist of the legal advice he has received. So at the logical moment, an invitation is extended to call at the employers office, and there an offer of some thing like half the law provides is made, and the poor devil accepts, anyway, at the end of a successful suit. And the law expresseiy makes such settlement binding.
 Third, the schedule of payments are radically defective. Take the case Of man earning four dollars day, who receives a severe burn that confines him for year in agony and leaves him disfigured for life, He gets only $366, or one half pay for six months. This illus tration is typical of many of the worst injuries for which the law af- lords no redress, or rather destroys all redress. Add to this that the employer is under no obligations to furnish medical or hospital treatment and you begin to realize how wonder full and successful it is from the standpoint of those who drew it and put it through.
 Fourth, in claims for death, the claims must be put in by the bene- ficiary in 120 days or it is for ever barred. This is an obvious outrage Laborers in Alaska are often trans tents, coming from distant towns Neither they or their dependents know anything of the law Assum- ing such laborer is killed, and Il of lxs 1I1 es his people. After the first shock of the news, they make inquiries; how long will it take them ordinar- fly, to learn of the law and it's re- quirements? It is safe to say that nine tenths of such cases the claim is barred before the beneficiary if you can call them beneficiaries-

KAVALA BONE OF CONTENTION
Greece and Bulgaria Have Been for Many Centuries at Odds Over
 This Port.

Kavala, the Greek port where, 1t appears, new allied expedition is to be landed, has long figured conspicu- ously in Balkan disputes and for a double reason. It happens that the welter of races which makes the di- vision of Macedonia everywhere diffi- cult is absolutely inextricable at Ka- vala, and that the town is of much commercial importance as the center of the district in which the very best Turkish" tobacco is grown. Conse- quently, whenever Greek and Bulgar have cleaned the slate of acrimonious questions there always is the standing grievance of Ka7ala to keep them asunder. It was the Greek kings re- fusal to approve the proposed cession of Kavala to Bulgaria that caused the first resignation of the Venizelos min istry and dashed the hopes of the al- lies for new Balkan league. Kavala is famous for a landing of quite diff ferent nature from that now imminent. When it was called Neapolis St. Paul landed there on his way to Philippi, now mass of ruins among the tobac- co fields.

RoPED HIMSELF TO BRIDGE
And Then the Younester Let the Tide. Come In in True Melodrama
 Style.

The colossal lie told by seventeen year-old John Streeper proved little too much for him, and he was confined to his bed with doctor trying to give him something for his nerves. The police said it was not his nerves that needed treatment at all; what he need ed most was remedy for an over grown imagination. The boy had the police and detective forces of the city in fine frenzy for hours with his yarn about being tied by four negroes to a log under bridge for the tide to over whelm as it rose inch by inch.
 It was thriller for sure, and Streep- CT was tied to the log, but he had tied himself. Color of truth was given the boys colossal yarn by the fact that negroes caught in robbery by his fa- ther had threatened vengeance upon him, but that incident merely formed the foundation for the fabrication. The lad had remained out later than the domestic law allowed, and it was nee essary for him to frame an excuse that would go well with dad.

Human Nature.

Ernest Bevin, one of the leaders in the London dock workers strike, was a delegate to the American Federation or Labor convention at San Francisco.
 Bevin tells story of the unem- pioyment troubles at Liverpool the year before the war. The unemployed workers were organized and told to go into the restaurants and order meals. o1 course they were penniless.
 The restaurant keepers accepted the deluge in sportsmanlike manner and refused to prosecute the workless men. There was one exception-a socialist restaurant man refused to tolerate this infraction of his rights. He alone had the uninvited guests arrested. A socialist stands sponsor for the facts.

TO DOMINATE WORLD
Scotch Scientist Sees Wonderful Fu- ture for the Colossus of the
 Shows"

"The twentieth century" says Charles Sarolea, in Everyman, Twill be the century of the Russian" Mir. Sarolea is professor of modern Ian guages in the University of Edinburgh. He has travelled in Russia and made special study of it's languages and it's peoples. He says: Notwithstanding war and famine, plague and disease, every year 100000 of souls are add ed to the Russian empire. Every year thousands of square miles are opened to agriculture and industry. Moral and intellectual progress have been enor- nous. Fifty years ago 99 per cent of the people were still steeped in gross ignorance, 90 per cent were still liv- ing in state of serfdom. The ukase of Alexander II accomplished with a stroke of the pen what it took western nations 1000 years of Christianity and of revolution to achieve. Today, less than two generations after the emanci- patton, Russia is taking leading part in many of the arts of peace, in many of the higher activities of man. She has given Verestchagin to painting, a Mendelieff to science, a Tschaikow- sky to music, Solovief to philosophy; and, above all, she has given to litera- ture an immortal band of masters of language, who have brought us fresh revelation of beauty and new inter- pretation of life"

College Women War Workers.

There are nearly 10000 highly edu- cated women in England who have registered for war work under the Federation of University Women. Among the new positions open to edu cated women that have been supplied by the federation are the post of draftsman in an aeroplane factory, due to knowledge of the higher mathe- matics; of expert accountant in an insurance office, because of clever. ness at figures and supervisorships in intuition factories given to trained special workers. A good part of the women registering have offered their spare time only, and it is hard to find jobs for those wanting to work DOT tions of days or alternate days. The secretary of the federation explains also that employers whose male work CTS have enlisted have a tendency to undercut the old wage, and these women do not wish to shave the wages of the men.

How Germans Aid French.

One of the newest French bomb throwers is as simple as the brass guns that small boys delight to play with. It consists of German shrap- nel shell case mounted on wooden stand, with a spike in front to anchor it firmly to the ground. The case of the shrapnel remains intact after it has been fired, as it's object is to act like a small cannon; it's end opens and the shrapnel with which it is filled is driven out by a charge of powder at the bottom of the case. These shell cases are carefully picked up by the French to be used against the enemy. They are cut down, and a touchhole is bored in them. The cost of the finished bomb-thrower is but little over one dollar, and it's weight is negligible, while a great number of them may be turned out without the slightest difficulty. To use them charge of powder is poured into the shell case, and a bomb, we'll loaded with explosives, is placed upon it. The charge is fired by the touch hole, and the bomb is thrown into the air. It turns clumsily over and over like large sausage, but it finds its target with remarkable accuracy.

SHOT MEANT LIFE OR DEATH
Salvation of Arctic Exploring Party Depended on Accurate Aim of
 One Man.

After they had existed on the bar. ren ice-bound Wrangel island for six months, the dozen survivors of the ilI- fated Karluk of Vilhjalmur Stefans. sons arctic expedition, were rescued A small amount of seal oil and a few fox carcasses were all that remained of their food supply, writes Mr. Burt M. Mcconnell in Harpers Magazine Munro had only twelve cartridges left with which to sustain himself and his companions.
 "On one occasion" said Munro "after our food supply had become ex- hausted and we were wondering where the next meal was coming from, saw a seal out on the ice. I crept to within hundred yards of him be- fore had to stop to steady my nerves. My heart beat so loudly that I thought the seal must surely hear it.
 While I was resting the thought came to me, If you miss him, you will starve'-for seals were very scarce and we had seen no other game in seven days.
 T crept to an advantageous posi- tion, set the hair trigger of my rife, and took deliberate aim. I think I held the gun sights on the head of that seal for at least two minutes, but my hand was too unsteady to make my aim certain. I lay down on the ice to regain my composure, but the thought that if I waited too long the seal might disappear would not allow me to rest.
 T aimed again, but my nervousness again frustrated my aim. I kept say ing to myself through clenched teeth, I'll get youi' and calling the seal all sorts of names. was cave man for few moments. When I had be- come calmer, I fired. The seal gave one shudder and lay still.
