COAST DEFENSES.-It is to laugh
after reading and listening to the
dogma of fear (preparedness) that
poor weak pussy-fOOted towards, the
masters of high finance, certain ed
itors and caTtOOnists, are endeavor-
ing in vain to spread among ever
courageous and intelligent Ameri-
cans.
But, thanks to good sound reason,
they are not driving the people into
much of a panic with their campaign
of dread and horror, battle cry of
peace, etc. And there is no reason
why the public should pay any atten-
ton to such individuals, nine-tenths
of whom know absolutely nothing of

present. But with regard to the de- 7
partment wherefrom the most i'm !
pOrtant items come-the department |
that has to do with the very exis- !
tence of such places, and the health !
and comfort of the guests-namely, |
the kitchen, it seems that to those
eminent architects any corner at the !
back of the house, or underground |
amid the most unsanitary cOndi- |
tons, is good enough for a kitchen. |
Not only that, but some kitchens are |
used as mere alleys, through which |
all the traffic of the house passes, !
to the detriment of cleanliness and |
consequent EMBELLISHMENTS of the |
food prepared in such places.
The writer knows of a kitchen |
where radiators, but no sinks, were
installed.
Just think of it! Radiators in a
kitchen!
Does any one think that if man
accustomed to working in such
places, for example, a competent
chefs advice had been sought and
taken into consideration, that such a
blundeT would have been committed.
OF course, most cooks are not uni
versity graduates, and it might have
been humiliating for that architect to
confer or consult with a mere cook,
but if such thing had taken place
one less architectural ineptitude
would have been omitted. - Leon
Pescheret, Chef.

what they speak, being entirely
ignorant Of military and naval
affairs, Notifications or anything
that goes to make it even a unit of
what they are advocating.
The remaining One-tenth who
may posses a knowledge Of the mill
taTy strength Of the nation are pre-
paredness howlers for selfish rea-
sons. They have something to sell
the government.
l will quote from the Congressional
Record, Feb. 8, 1916, a part of the
testimony Of Gen. Nelson A. Miles,
U. S. A. (retired), one of the fore
most military authorities: Having
had an opportunity of seeing all the
great armies Of the world and many
Of their Notifications, including the
Dardanelles, l am prepared to say
that our coasts are as well defended
as the coasts Of any country, with
the same class Of high-pOwered guns
and heavy projectiles."
The American people must be con-
vinced before adopting any radical
military system they will go along
and construct their army and navy
conservatively and according to their
resources, instead Of listening to the
cries and bowls Of the kept press and
the munitiOn statesmen o. Boy.
MILK.-The milk question is one
of the fruits of monopoly. The basic
monopoly is at the farm. In the last
16 years land values in the farming
districts of Illinois have increased
1877 per cent. This indicates that
milk producers must pay more than
double the amount they paid 16 years
ago for the privilege of using the
land to produce milk. This decrease

RICH CHICAGO TENANTS
Threaten Court Fight Over Lett

Chicago, Nov. 12.-Tenants in apart
ments on Eastlake Terrace, which runs
along the lake, threaten TO cancel their
leases if the appearance OF the trst
apartment in the new building at 1881
is not changed soon.
On their way to church to-day hun

in the windows of the sun parlor OF
this apartment. They read:
Negro caretaker wanted for this
apartment.
Apply by phone to Edgewater -.
Do not rent this apartment until you
see the party on the second floor to
the north.
Only one side Of the story could be
learned because Simson Swenson,
owner of the building, refused to tell
his story. Allan Stearns, tenant on
the second floor, said that the owner
had refused to make repairs and I'M
movements that were specified in the
lease that calls for $4,000 rental.
Other residents of the block said
they had appealed to their agents to
protect them II the fiat was given over
10 negroes. They were assured, they
said. that the case would be taken 10
the courts if negroes were allowed TO
live on the premises.

MESSENGERS LACKING

union "man." So long as there is a

of few days vacation held out as
bait, he is willing to attend as many
union meetings as his leaders may
call.
But no strike. no meeting this is
obviously a fundamental principle in
the messenger boys labor code. A
gathering called for Yesterday after
noon in Floral Hall, at which the vic
tory won in the recent strike was to
have been the foundation upon which

The officers Of the union seemed

announced and fervidly debated the
disposition of a dime that remains IN
the unions treasury.
