..iske,s Admiration for Darwin.

The biography of John Fiske con- tains this comment in one of his let ters from England: Darwin is the dearest, sweetest, loveliest old grand pa that ever was. And, on the whole, he impresses me with his strength more than any man I have yet seen. There is charming kind of quiet strength about him and about every thing he does. He is not burning and eager like Huxley. He has mild blue eye and is the gentlest of gentle old fellows. None of these men seem to know how great they are. But Darwin is one of the most truly mod est men ever saw"

HARTFORD TAILORS
 UNIONS AMALGAMATE
New Working Agreement to be Presented = Unionists Urged to PatrOnize Merchants Who Are Fair to the TailOrs

l HARTFORD - Local PA (Bushel men) Journeymen Tailors Union, has surrendered it's charter and all mem, bers in, good standing were trans. ferred to Local 139. William Wei gardt, general organizer of the Jour. neymen Tailors Union of America came from New York and collected all the books, etc, from the officers of Local PA, previous to the amal- gamation of the two unions. He also advised the members of Local 139 regarding a campaign in the fall rela- tive to better working conditions.
 Organizer Weigardt requested every member of Local 139 to be an organ izer during this spring and summer and next fall present the following working agreement:
 1. Free and sanitary work shops.
 2. A shorter workday.
 3. An increase in wages.
 4. Abolishment of basement work.
 B.. All necessary trimmings for garments to be furnished by employ CTS.
 Local 139 is constantly adding to it's membership and future prospects are very bright.
 Shop Clubs Appointed
 At special meeting it was voted to meet on the first Monday evening of each month at c. L. U. hall, and the various shop clubs were appointed. Brother Benson, veteran tailor of this city, spoke of the o1d-time hard ships of journeymen tailors, present conditions, and what may be accom- plished in the immediate future.
 Unionists Should Co-Operate
 The union journeymen ,tailors urgently request every union man in the city when purchasing clothing to insist that all work on same shall be the product of union tailors, whether in making, altefing, repairing, clean ing or pressing.
 Fair Employees
 Many tailors and clothing mer- chants in Hartford, recognizing the just claims of the journeymen tail ors regarding wages and working con ditions, are granting the requests of the union tailors as faAt as possible, and all unionists in turn are being constantly reminded by the tailors of their duty as union men to patronize such fair employers.

the German intrigue were maroOned, and from
which they never came back,
1t was intimated that the German "black
book" contained charges of horrible vices against
the English persons named. 1t is agreed that
such charges are, in the vast majority of cases,
utterly absurd and without foundation, but still
a weak politician might be intimidated by
mere threat of an exposure held over him.
Evidently the statements of the trial will be
used with relentless severity to prevent the re-

This scandalous record could be used, the Ger
man Government believed, to intimidate foreign
statesmen who were entirely beyond the reach
of money. they refused to yield to Germany
then horrible charges of personal misdeeds, with
every kind Of exaggeratiOn, would be poured
out upon the world
In some cases the scandalous record might
force foreign politician actually to work for
Germany in others it would make man fearful
of acting against Germany-of pushing the war
to the utmost, for instance. "
The personal experiences Of Nine Storch in
her meetings with Englishmen furnished copy Of
value for this noble volume. Berlin enjoyed the
narrative Of frst-hand experiences, but it wished
nothing that could. be gathered by hearsay to be
omitted. When Nine. Storch made the aequaint-
ance Of young Englishman, who was the son
of Cabinet Minister, she cajoled him to betray
his fathers official secrets and also to tell about
the statesman's domestic difficulties.
Captain Harold Sherwin Spencer, an invaded
officer of the Royal Flying Corps, furnished the
most remarkable evidence concerning ''the book
of the 1900" He declared that:
~ Germany was employing "the black book"
to have Herbert II. Asquith, Joseph Caillaux and
Giovanni Giolitti returned to power as Premiers
of England, France and Italy, so that peace could
be brought about prematurely.
(2) That Sir Cecil Spring Rice, late British
Ambassador to the United States, who died sud-
denly in Canada, was really murdered because
he was returning to England to expose the Ger

conveying information valuable to Germany
