WILL NOT SOON FORGET

Undoubtedly Pope Benedict meant well when he made his proposals of peace, for that reason he is said to be deeply depressed over the unfavorabe reception by all the allies of his pro- posals.
 The venerable prelate should have asked himself this question for instances How long will take the allies to forget the three years of during which Germany has outraged civili- zation; scorning the simplest dictates of humanity? Destruction of life and property has been her watchword, while the allies, in or der to make the world safe for the weak as well as the strong, have spent untold millions of mon- ey and poured their best blood the battle fields. The answer to all this is clear. Germany must meet defeat; must be brought to her knees and in that attitude must beg for mercy. Proposals of peace are useless until this comes to pass. Then retributon will follow; because it will be a long time before the rest of the world will be able to forget and forgive the misery and sorrow that official Germany has inflicted on the world.
 Retribution will strike her most vitaly through the loss of her trade with the rest of the world No nation will ever accept an article of German manufacture in preference to another To all intents and purposes German goods will be boycotted, the price of her policy of fright fulness carried on for three long years. The kaiser realizes all this. Hence his desperate at tempt to weaken the allies to the end that he may dictate the terms of peace-an impossibility on the face of it. Which evidently, was not taken into consideration by the venerable prelate when he made his peace proposals.

AS USUAL

German subjects need not fear of Germany going dry. The Kaiser knows better than to put ban on alcohol. If he did, his subjects might sober up and see things in their proper light and there would be hell to pay. Nick Ro- manoff, it will be remembered put the Indian sign on vodka and what did his subjects do to him? Germany will never go dry. No fear.

ELGIN WATCH WORKS SCENE
oF TYPHOID EPIDEMIC
Twenty dead; 100 seriously i'll
Such is the toll of typhoid fever
among the employees of the Elgin
Watch Co., Elgin, Ill.
The infection of typhoid broke out
late last fall: 1t spread from emplOye
to employee until more than 100
were i'll.
An artesian well is blamed The
well is deep and. of good flow, &C
cording to the company, and, it
seems, should surely be pure.
A story is told by employees of the
watch company of a prevalence of
rats, especially near the mouth of
the well. This has not yet been in
Vestigated, but it is thought by some
that the waters of the well may have
been infected by the rats.
The company is not attempting to
hide the illness and deaths among its
workers. It would be no use. All the
little city of Elgin is talking about
is the terrible toll death has collected
from among the watch workers.
Peter J. Angsten of the III. State
Industrial Board will go to Elgin Sat
urday and hold a public hearing in
the court house at which it is expect
ed some startling facts regarding the
water supply at the watch works may
be revealed. .
The company itself asked for the
hearing, which is primarily for the
purpose of setting the amount of
awards which the survivors of the
dead and the families of the i'll will
receive.
The state law provides what
Z amounts shall be paid in case of ill
ness or death. Criticism of the law
has often been made on the ground
that the amounts awarded are mostly
scarcely enough to cover expenses.
Families of the 20 dead will receive

ONE FLAT OWNER TELLS WHAT
HE THINKS OF JANIToRS
Janitors: You men who live in a
damp basement fiat, get up at
o'clock in the morning, take sass
from peevish tenants and get blamed
little pay for your job of making
folks comfortable here's what one OF
your employees thinks of those Of
you who rise in the ranks Of your
union.
In a letter addressed to Don S.
Wiley, 6O26 S. Park av., one of his
tenants, Geo. ]. Williams, attorney
with Office at 326 River ST., says OF
officials of fiat janitors' union:
These officials are men from the
lower walks of life, many of them
negroes, and with few exceptions,
coarse, ignorant and brutal"
Now, officials of the fiat ianitors'
union, you know what George Viii
liams thinks of you.
Williams wouldn't sign with the
union for the 24-hat building al
6O24-3O S. Park av. 1t is said he also
refused to sign for four or five other
buildings. Tenants have complained
about Uhclean Railways, icy back
stairs, unremoved garbage and the
fact that the union milk and delivery
drivers won't leave them eats while
the janitor is striking.
81 am fighting for principle" said
Williams in the letter to his tenants.
Probably he meant to spell it
principal ventured union man.
Williams has sought a court in
junction to help him defeat the
strikers.

the coat, which had been for a hun

was much longer than that worn to-

came into fashion the large cravat with
