THE EMPlRE-AI the News All the Time, When It Is News.

These are the impressions brought
back to this country by RAYMOND
fernandez, formerly employed here
by the James "A. Staunton barber shop
and who recently returned here from
several months spent in his old home
Madrid, Spain.
Mr. Fernandez, who left Monday
morning for Pittsburgh, Pa, states
that there are over 100000 Germans
IN Madrid at present, the majority
of whom have been there since the
beginning of the war. They are in.
termed, as it were, having no way TO
return to their country.
The opinion prevails among these
Germans that the fatherland is not
only whipped, but WHIPPED badly. They
believe that it is but a matter of a
few months until this defeat will be
confessed fact and the war party
Will be forced to sue for peace.
Mr. Fernandez learned that the
German people-the mass of them
are slowly beinning to understand
that ultimate victory is impossible.
While not looking for revolution,
Mr.. Fernandez believes that these
people will demand peace in such
terms as must be answered.
The food situation in Germany, all
reports to the contrary, is very bad,
states Mr.. Fernandez. Every article
of sustenance is scarce and the on
coming winter will witness terrible
privation.
AS for Spain, Mr. Fernandez does
not believe that it will enter the war.
The people of that country, he says,
are pro-ally in their sympathies and
have been so practically since the
outset. King Alfonso, he AYERS, is also
an adherent Cf the allied cause, but
the government" (Mr. Fernandez i'm,
piled that Alfonso does not dictate
SPANS policies) is pro- German which
accounts to large extent for the
abuse which Spain has borne at Ger.
man hands.
The Spanish newspaper, El Impair.
tial, known as one of the foremost
dailies in Europe, has espoused the
cause of the allies ever since the en-.
try of the United States into the con.
tlict.
Mr.. Fernandez is employed by
Spanish concern and is now engaged
IN getting prices on certain kinds of
machinery. From Pittsburgh, he eX-
poets to go to Philadelphia and spend
the remainder of the winter there. He
has many friends in this city who
have been very much pleaed to hear
him tell CT continental conditions
during his short stay here.

FIFTH EPISODE

- sSSSs
The independent owners were enor-
mously encouraged by their legal vic
tory over the Amalgamated. Some Of
them believed the octopus had shot
Its bolt, but these reckoned without
their obstinate host, Rupert Holmes.
While compelled to accept the ship
ments Of lumber offered by the indie
pendents. Holmes and his myrnidons
succeeded In making things nightly
unpleasant for the customer. A pol
Icy Of obstruction was pursued. Where
a hundred cars were ordered, only ten
would be Forthcoming. Where ten cars
were asked, one would be furnished.
This premeditated delay Of shipments
brought prompt protests from ship
pers.
Threats Of cancellation became fire.
Quent. These were met with expla-
nations Of the causes Of delay but the
mill men wanted lumber and not ex-
plantations. Once more the independ-
ents were confronted with heavy losses
through the Vaccinations of the trust.
1t was In this crisis that Helen Daw-
son came once more to the rescue. She
had asked Clancy, the. railway agent
at Jacksonville. for a days leave of alb
sence to make visit In Big Falls.
When she returned that evening she
sent for Michael Morrisey, leading
spirit Of the independents.
thorn still trnnhIa In oanuriv ., n,
cars?" Helen asked.
Trouble, no end" answered Nor
risey. They've got the cars, all right,
but we can't get 'em. It's the old
game Of crook trying to use the back
door when the front one has been
closed by the law. We have half a
million dollars worth of cancellations
staring us In the face at this minute"
Helen smiled systematically and
drummed pencil between her teeth.
II was In Big Falls today" she re-
marked, irrelevantly, after a pause.
II Just happened to drop into the
county clerks Office, and while there
I thought I'd like to see a copy of
the Amalgamateds' charter. BY the
way, Mr.. Morrisey, did you ever see
that charter?"
NO" replied Morrisey, "they never
honored me with copy"
you ought to see the original"
Helen went on. "It's very interesting.
i find that II provides for q railway
starting at Port Jefferson, running
through Big Falls and Jacksonville,
and ending at Glacier Point. They
are not operating under that charter,
Mr.. Morrissy. Their railway ends at
Jacksonville"
II knew there was something In the
charter about Glacier point, but--holy
st. Patrick |" shouted the Irishman,
1--WE can make 'em put It through on
the original charter. and Wen all get
rich, for the best Of the independent
holdings are In that territory. Ay, col
leen, but yere a wonder"
"But could they not wrlggle out OF
II on the proposition that there is no
traffic at present to justify the extern
sion," pursued Helen. doubtfully.
"Well," grinned Morrisey, there's
a settlement at Glacier--just a few
families and some Indians-but we can
throw couple Of hundred men In
there, build houses and start a town
that will Justify petition to the leg
stature.
