important with poultry as any other

ameless breeds will have been for
often. Mr.. Hackett also spoke of
he present exhibit, saying that the
poultry exhibited here would make a
ood showing anywhere in the United
States, but the equipment for show
3 g would not. He said in the present
lace there was not sufficient room in
which to show to advantage, besides
he cages are not such as would show
he bird at it's best. He suggested
that the people of Baraboo assist in
better equipment for the coming
shows. He said also that there are
many more birds which would make
a good showing, but they were not
ere. Anyone showing birds would,
much rather have competition thar
not, for the reason that it is no pleas
ure or glory to cary off premium
without a contest. He urged that all
who have birds make showing, for
the reason that this event is for the
purpose of developing the industry,
rather than the little monetary gain.

AN OLD APPEAL.

One of the bravest and most
gallant struggles for national lib
crty in all the history of the world
was the war for the independence
of the Netherlands against Phil
lip ii of Spain. William of
Orangc-William the Silent-led
his people through years of war
to ultimate victory, though he
did not live to see that great re-
s,lt. In. unselfish devotion to
his people and his country, in
courage and ability, he stands in
the annals of his country as
Washington stands in ours. OF
him it was said by Motley, the
historian, "When he died the lit
tic children cried in the streets"
The great and powerful United
States arrayed against Germany
is in no such condition as was
the Ncthcrland Confederacy ar
rayed against the power of Spain,
yet the Prince of Oranges appeal
to the Dutch people to give finan-
cial support to the cause OF lib
crty possesses a timely interest
when the United States Govern
mcnt is asking the American poo
pie to give their financial supper:
to their government in this wal
for liberty in the world.
The Prince of Orange in his
address to the inhabitants of the
Netherlands, used these words:
LET not a sum of gold be so
dear to you, that for its sake you
will sacrifice your lives, your
wives, your children. and all your
descendants, to the latest genera
tons; that you will bring sin and
shame upon yourselves, and de-
struction upon US who have so
heartily strivcn to assist you.
Think what scorn you will incur
from foreign nations, what a
crime you will commit against
the Lord God. what bloody yoke
We will impose forever upon your
selves and your children, If you
now seek for subtcrfugcs; il you
now prevent us from taking the
field with the troops which we
have enlisted. On the other hand
what incxprcssiblc benefits you
will confer on your country. il
you now help us to rescue that
fathcrland from the power Of our
enemies.

SMITH WANTS WORK RUSHED
Mayor Smith has issued demand that
the subway contracts be rushed. He called
Senator's Ware and McNichol into confer

action and that they would have to accept
Or reject the bids Immediately.
The firms of which McNichol and ware
are controlling factors hold contracts to-
taling S15,000,000 for the construction or
the main lines of the new subway system
The contracts were awarded some weeks
ago. As yet they have not been signed.
Because of prevailing high prices the con-
tractors sought certain concessions from
the city. It Is understood that some OF
these will not be granted.
Senator McNichol this afternoon said that

and the new scale does not become effec-

All the walkouts in Philadelphia occurred
approximately at the same hour.
The Bailey firm was one Of the largest
affected by the walkout. The strikers were
employed chiefly in building transatlantic
freighters.
There Is no question that German
money is back of the strike" Mr.. Rutherford
said. THE whole thing is a deliberate con-
spiracy which l shall bring to the atten-

charge of the situation there.
That Government officials consider the
shipyard situation to be one of extreme
gravity was indicated today when II was
announced by Secretary of the Navy Daniels
that increases in pay to he given employees
at the Philadelphia Navy Yard would be-
come effective two months earlier than
usual The announcement came while the
secretary was discussing the strike.
4 committee of Philadelphia Navy Yard
employees today presented to Secretary
Daniels a petition signed by 1000 men,
pledging their loyalty to the Government
and announcing opposition to labor
troubles which would embarras Govern
ment work.
Before leaving ;-avan took occasion to
make emphatic denial of the charge that the
shipyard strike Is the result of German
propaganda. declaring that all members of
the union were loyal Americans and that
the union would welcome investigation by
any Government official He also denied
that the I. w. W. had any part in the
strike.
According to Cavan's official statement
the number Of men strike in Phladel.

affected are as follows:

no strike was called. but the men were
locked out.
Organizer Cavan was particularly en-
phatic in his denial that German influences
had brought about the strike In the hope
of hampering war preparation in America
He asserted that to the best of his knowl-
edge no Government work was in progress
at any of the plants where the men had
gone out.
I'VE welcome investigation by the De-
partment of Justice or by United States
District Attorney Kane. If Mr.. Kane will
call on me, will furnish him with informa-
ton explaining why the men struck. All of
the unions books will be freely shown to

, Although the Smith lease would give

by the company to the city on December

approval Of Mr. T.. T. Stotesbury, we are

Although it appears that the Philadel

the advantages so gained are not real, but
