San Francisco, Sept. 1S.-United
States Marines stood guard today i'll
the Union Iron Works plant where con-
struction of government ships valued at
millions of dollars has been completely
stopped by the strike of shipbuilders
IN the San Francisco bay cities.
Two companies of marines were hur-
ried to this city from Mare Island dur
ing the night at the request of Captain
Harry G. Leopold, U. S. n, in charge
Of naval construction at the plant. Early
today Captain Leopold ordered the clos
ing of all saloons within half mile of
the Big San Francisco plant, fearing
that lettering men, inflamed by liquor,
might create trouble there.
1t was reported that additional COM
panies of marines might be stationed
at the Oakland and Alameda yards of
the shipbuildiDg companies and that sa-
looms might be closed there also.
Simultaneously with this report came
evidences from MANY quarters that the
government il taking further steps to
bring a settlement Of the dispute which
has precipitated the greatest strike in
the history of the Pacific coast and
completely tied up all shipbuilding for
Uncle Sam S war emergency fleet.
Mediators Must Hurry.
The first move in this direction was
the sending of instructions to the fed
eral adjustment board, now engaged in
mediating the Seattle and Portland
strikes, to expedite their work as much
as possible, in order that the adjust
ment reported at those points may serve
as a basis Of settlement of the San Fran
cisco bay district controversy.
So far as rioting and violence are
concerned the situation was quiet TO-
dav. Officials of the Iron Trades Conn-
ell who are directing the ship strike,
asserted today that the violence which
marked the opening of the strike yes
terdav was the work of irresponsible
Individual strikers. At no time did the
violence take the form of activity
against any shipbuilding plants, but was
rather an effervescenee of feeling
against the motormen and conductors
trying to break the United Railroads
car strike.
Should rioting be renewed in exagger-
ated form and get beyond the control
of the local police, Major General Mur
raw, commanding the western depart
ment of the army, is amply prepared to
handle the situation with the infantry
brigade now quartered at the Preside.
Arbitration Sought.
A review Of the situation today in
dicated that between $4,000 and 10000
members of the iron trades are on strike
in the bay cities. One hundred and
twenty establishments, including ship
Yards, foundries, factories and machine
shops are tied up.

scathing Indictment of Germany that
seeks to master the world with high
explosives and low intrigue" Secretary
Of the Interior Lane today declared that
America was making "full stream
ahead in the war" and would continue
fighting until the world has no cause
to fear kaiserism.
Lane spoke at the opening session of
the war commission of the chamber OF
commerce of the United States.
Owe are determined on war That is
settled - he said. "The American peo-
pie have determined to resist the ag-
gression of Germany that broke heI
word with us, a Germany that sought
to start revolution inside our own Dor
wers, a Germany that sought to bring
enemies upon us from the outside while
we were at peace with her, Germany
that, in violation of her own word, sank
the ships that we sent to feed the starry
ing Belgians, a Germany whose nation
al policy was to teach each nation TO
dlstrust every other nation whose mill
tary policy was to spread terror, whose
naval policy was to prey upon neu-
trails.
Enemy of the World.
He declared Germany is "an organ
lied ambition that is hostile to the
world s peace" and that is the enemy of
the world.
If there is better Germany inside
of her and she will show it, she can
again be restored to the family of ma
tions as a friend. But we have determin-
ed that we will fight the Germany that
is revealed, the spying, intriguing, ter
rorizing Germany.
He predicted the war would end when
Germany knows that she must "give
hostages to keep peace in the future" "
"It was the ancient and barbaric
CUSTOM he said, "to take princes and
high men as hostage, and this custom
Germany followed when she entered
Belgium. But the world does not ask
such hostages today. 1t is the problem
of world craftsmanship to discover what
kind of hostage Germany can give when
she has been convinced that her dream
of world mastery cannot come true. I'm
der civilization we all give hostages
to each other. We place in the other
man s hands something sacred which
we forfeit if we break the common law.
It is the price we pay for life among
our fellows. Germany must do the
same.
Should be No Fear.
"The people of Germany have been
taught to fear. The world should teach
them that they have no reason for fear
and give hostages against fear. We fear
Germany. The world has had horrible
reason to fear her. Our victory will
come when Germany removes the rea-
son for that fear.
FGermany can live on common terms
with all other nations when Germany
gives over the hope of mastering the
world with high explosives and low in
trigue."
Concerning Americas part in thc
war Lane said:
"We are bent upon making war with
American vigor. If any one doubts that,

DENMARK TO FURNISH

London, Sept. 1S.-Denmark is ne.
gotiating to increase her exports of
horses-~presumably to Germany-if
there is not some abatement in the
allies restrictions on giving Denmark
fodder, according to an Exchange Tele-
graph dispatch from Copenhagen to-
day.
Denmark IS shortage of food for cat
tie and horses has forced farmers eth
er to kill their horses or arrange for
increased export of the animals.
Danish newspapers commenting on
the situation, carrying the veiled hint
that cit is hoped America will realize
Denmark IS economic conditions and
shape her course accordingly"
Export of horses-dead or alive-to
Germany, which is Denmark's S nearest
neiUhbor, would give the Germans a
new meat supply. Horse meat has long
aeen eaten in Germany.

Whether the law in regard to the re-
mOval of all kinds of thistles, enacted
in 1907, is one that really means what
it saws, will be decided to some extent
within a short time in the circuit
court, department No. 2, Judge Bing-
ham, presiding
The statute enacted in 1907 plainly
states that it shall be the duty of each
road supervisor in each road district
to ascertain from time to time whether
there is in his district any weed known
as the Russian or Canadian thistle or
cOcklebur and that before any of
them shed their bloom or commence to
form seed to serve notice upon the
owner or persons upon the land to re-
move them. And ii they are lot remov-
ed within ten days of serving the no
tice, to go onto the land and remove
the thistles The expense of this work
is to lien against the land superior
to any other lien except taxes. If the
road supervisor is obliged to 90 on
land and remove the thistles, and the
cost of such work is not paid, the law
plainly states that at the eSd of six
months, the thistle lien against the
land may be foreclosed.
Test Case Pending
The case now before Judge Bingham
is that of Marion county against Isa-
bella NJ. Anderson, who owns about 100
acres of land near Hayesville.
F. o. johnson, road supervisor of
district No. 80, found on the farm of
Mrs. Anderson weeds known as the
Canadian thistle and that on July 24,
1916, they had not shed their bloom or
commenced to form seed.
On July "a, 1917, Mrs. Anderson was
notified in writing by the road super
visor that the thistles should be re-
moved. A copy of the notice to Mrs.
Anderson was filed in the county
clerk g office August 8, 1917, to com
ply with the law. According TO the law,
she should have removed the thistles
within ten days of the notice, but this
she failed to do.
supervisor Cut Thistles
Following closely the law on Au-
gust 25 Mr.. johnson called to his as
sistance eight men, who went on the
premises and removed the thistles by
moving, cutting and burning.
Then on Sept. !, 1917, Mr.. johnson
filed with the county clerk an itemiz-
ed statement of the expense, amount
ing to $24.75. This amount was then
entered on the official lien docket of
Marion county as lien against the
