CRISIS REACHED
IN BIG FIGHT OF the
GARMENT MAKERS

New York June IA crisis in the strug-
their employees was precpitated today by
the action of the Cloak, Suit and Skirt
Manufacturers Protective Association in
structing its members to open their shops
and give an opportunity for the return OF
their employees, who were locked out on
April %.
The manufacturers busy season begins
the first of July. The employers gave no
indication of any intention to grant the
unions chief demand, which is for a pref
erential union shop.
Union officials adopted a defiant atti-
tude today and sent swarm of pickets
to persuade workers who might be in
clined to accept the manufacturers offer,
no to return. Morris Hillquit general
counsel for the International Ladies' Gar
ment Workers of America. declar that
mot a thousand of the $4,000 strikers will
go back
The employees union has rejected the
suggestion of President Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor that it es-
tablish commissary stores for the distri-
button of food supplies. President Schles-
niger said he had found that the strikers
were too proud to go to the stores. The
union will continue its distribution of cash
to needy strikers. At the start of the
lockout the treasury of the union held
$500 900. but these funds have been depict
ed by the expense of the past six weeks
and the union leaders are depending on
contributions from the public to aid the
strike fund.

'REPELLENT" IS
WILSON IN ROLE
OF N EDIAT0R
SAYS GERMAN

Berlin, May Silvia London. June ~
Professor Hans Delbruecke of the Uni
versity of Berlin has written an article
in regard to American mediation in the
war. in which he says there is something
repellent to Germany in the idea of ac-
cepting President Wilson as mediator. 1t
is obvious, he says, that the sympathies
of the President are with the Entente
powers, which might be regarded as dis
qualifying him so far as the Central pow
ers are concerned. He continues:
Moreover, President Wilson, by using
in his speeches expressions which are in
sulting, has created an atmosphere be-
tween us which renders cordial rap
proachment no longer possible. Neverthe-
less Germany need not show herself alb
solutely inf1exible, for Germanys strength
lies in the fact that the President already
has shown himself so unfriendly that he
has left almost nothing undone in that
direction.
What could he do to us if he proposed
conditions which we rejected fatty? He
might threaten war, but he would never
be able to win the support of American
public opinion and of Congress for war In
order to establish the peace of Europe"
Professor Delbruecke argues the case is
quite different with the Entente powers,
which are completely in the hands of
America and are compelled to accept con-
ditions which America regards as reason-
able
America does not even need to go so far
as to prohibit the expectation of NUM-
tons and to withdraw financial support,
he writes, but needs only to insist on
maintenance of the old rules of internal
tional law in order to compel England to

SUBMARINE OIL LINES.
Now the Wells Of Vera Cruz Are Tap.
ped For Tank Steamers.

How the Wells Of Vera Cruz Are Tap.
ped For Tank Steamers.
Many Of the most productive oil wells
In the state of Vera Cruz, Mexico, are
situated near the port Of Tuxpam. For
some distance from the shore there the
water is so shallov that few Of the
large oil steamers can get into port.
The oil companies hit upon the idea of
laying submarine pipe lines to points
where the largest oil tankers can be
conveniently moored for loading in
any state Of the tide and weather.
There are now five Of these great iron
pipes in duplicate. They are from six
to eight inches in diameter, and four
Of them are nearly a mile long. They
terminate In forty-three feet Of water,
where it Is SO deep that the waves
have no effect on them. When they
were laid divers fastened to the end of
each 100 feet Of flexible hose. When
not in use the free end Of the hose is
closed and allowed to lie on the bottom
of the sea, where its position is marked
by small buoy attached to the hose
by stout chain.
When the tank steamers arrive they
moor themselves to the permanent
buoys near by, lift the marked buoy
with a derrick. raise the flexible hose
to the deck of the - and attach it to
the tank openings. BY means of sig
nal code the captains Of t. ships notify
the pumping station on snore, in which
are the valves that control the flow Of
oil through the pipe line. Generally
speaking, it takes about twentyfour
hours to load one of the large $4,000
ton tankers. which means that the
pipes deliver 4,375 barrels Of oil an
hour-Youth's Companion.

ORIGIN OF WORDS.
Expressions Sometimes Stray From
Their Original Meanings.

heiF Ort9inai meanings.
The word sweetheart seems every
thing it ought to be for expressiveness.
One would naturally think that it had
been coined for the occasion, like such
a word as ''honeysuckle."
But that is delusion and a snare.
It has no more to do with "heart" than
1t has with lungs" 1t Is word that
belongs to the class which includes
"sluggard" and coward" and dull
ard" and "niggard." Pretty company
for poets word. But 1t is true, though
sad, that sweetheart ought to be
spelled "sweetard."
Who has not joined in a country
dance? OF course the country dance
reminds one Of maypoles and merry
makings and harvest homes. Sir Roger
de Coverley and his quaint rural man
ners and ways seem inseparably con-
nected with the dance. But it has no
more connection with fields and hay
stacks and cornricks than the turkey
trot. The partners In the dance face
each other. and the French therefore
called it a "contre danse." There you
are! The secrets out.
What are "kickshawsT Just the
French "quelques chooses" which means
anything"
What is the origin Of tramway7 It is
short for Outram way, because a man
named Outram invented them, just as
a man named Macadam invented mac

Note the Success
Signs

Newspaper advertising shows
which way the trade is going.
Note the advertising in today's
Kennebec Journal and you will
see at a glance that the list of
merchants, manufacturers, and
other advertisers comprise the
most progressive and the most
successful business and profess
sional men in our community.
Advertising and success go
hand in hand. You don't see a
concern constantly advertising in
the newspapers unless it is sue
cessful.
Also, the houses that make the
biggest successes nowadays do
so by satisfying and pleasing the
public on whom their success is
based. And in order to reach the
public the most successful bust
ness and professional men use
newspaper advertising.
Each depends upon the other.
Good business men and good
newspapers. working together,
spell success.

but flames, laundering after q most
hideous manner" Her personal ap-
pearance, described by her admiring

most ingenious to line her in colors.

Waterspouts.

A waterSpout is a miniature tornado
originating in strong upward draft Of
air which occurs above the surface Of
body Of comparatively warm water
Its effect first becomes visible in a
circular motion at the point Of the
cloud to which 1t ascends. This be-
comes a whirl. which condenses the
vapor at its center, causing the portion
Of the cloud there to drop downward
in the shape of gigantic jelly bag. At
the same time the continuing upward
draft increases the rapidity Of its orig
inal swirl and the condensed vapor
caught within it until the ascending
and descending masses join to form the
waterspout. Necessarily by this pro-
cess the air beneath the spout is rare
fed, and thus where the phenomenon
occurs at sea the water always seems
to be sucked up into it, although this is
not really the case to any considerable
extent.
