WASHINGTON, D. C., Apr. 14.- Rather than at this time cause a serious disruption in the labor sit uation, the Conference Committee agreed to eliminate the very ob- jectionable clause bearing on the right to strike.
 The clause inserted in the Senate Sabotage Bill, which bill has been before Congress for about year, made it unlawful for any organiza- ton to strike for higher wages or better working conditions.

causing much hardship and want to the miners and their families.
 The method now prevailing of con- stantly changing the prices, is caus- ing this grave condition of affairs to exist and they believe it is no more than reasonable, at this time, to ask the fuel administrator, to apply the remedy, which they are sus sosting to him.

"So?" Donna Isabel looked up
quickly.
"She interests me. She is more beau
tiful than the stars" Don Mario rolled
his eyes toward the high ceiling, which,
like the sky, was tinted vivid ceru-
lean blue.

Don Mario had been drumming his
fat fingers impatiently upon the arm OF
his chair. Now he exclaimed:
"Your pardon, sonora, but l am just

WHY WE MUST WIN THE WAR
If Conflict Ends With Conditions as at
Present Germany Will Domi-
nate, Writer Says.

"Mittel-Europa is in existence to-
day." says Frederick Naumann,
prominent member of the reichstag.
He is right. Germany stands pos
sessed of all she hoped to gain when
she forced the war. She has reduced
her allies to military and economic de-
pendence. She dominates Belgium,
northern France, Poland, Russia. Ser
bia, Montenegro and Roumana. More
than 20O,000,000 people are under the
dictation of Prussia.
Ii the war ends with conditions as
they are at present Germany'S brutal
policy of force will dominate the world.
Italy, France and Great Britain have
combined population of 118,O00,000.
They are much smaller in area than
the Mittel-Europa empire would be,
are detached from each other and con-
fined within narrow limits on the
south and west of Europe. Neces-
sarily they would become second-class
powers.
The United States, practically alone,
would be left to face the aggression
of power with about twice the popu
lation, directed by autocratic rulers
toward further conquest.
The only way to make ourselves
safe is to win the war

His arrival threw Donna Isabes into
a flutter; the woman could scarcely
contain her curiosity when she came to
meet him, for he was not the sGrt Of

would die without revealing the place

Donna Isabel, it was plain, felt her
wrongs keenly; she spoke with is much

himself to be killed purely out of spite
toward her.

CHAPTER III.
1.-The O,ReiIlY.n

Age and easy living had caused Don
Mario de Castano, the sugar merchant,
to take on weight He had, in truth,
become so fat that he waddled like a
penguin when he walked; and when he
rode, the springs of his French vic
toria gave up in despair.
In disposition Don Mario was prac-
teal and unr0mantic; he boosted that
he had never had an Illusion never an
interest outside of his business. And
yet, ON the day this story opens, this
prosaic parsonage, in spite of his bulg-
ing waistband and his taut neckband,
in spite of his short breath and his
prickly heat, was in a very whirl of
pleasurable excitement. Don Mario, in
fact suffered the greatest of all illu-
sions: he was in love, and he believed
himself beloved. The object of his
alteration was little Rosa Varona, the
daughter of his one-time friend Este
ban. To be sure, he had met Rosa only
twice since her return from her Yankee
school, but twice had been enough
with prompt decision he had resolved
to do her the honor Of making her his
wife,
Notwithstanding the rivulets of per-
spiration that were coursing down
every fold of his flesh, and regardless
of the fact that the body of his victoria
was tipped at drunken angle, as il
struggling to escape the burdens of his
great weight, Don Mario felt jaunti.

ROME. Jan. l5.-The Osservatore

partially of the Holy See throughout
the conflict:
Certainly says the newspaper,
which is the Vatican organ, the Holy

that President Wilson and Premier
lloyd George put as a basis of pos
siblc peace negotiations and the future
settlement of Europe those very points
contained in the appeal of the Holy
Father last August to the heads of the
belligerent peoples.
'Ihoga points were intended, not as
articles for a concrete treaty of peace
but as fundamental points for starting
| negotiations.
The Osservatorc continues with &
warning that the pleasure felt by the
Holy See i'll seeing harmony existing
between the pontifcal proposals and tn,
| Anglo American statements does not
mean that the Vatican will exercis,

would mean violation of the prineipl

HELP GET THE SPIES.

This country has long been honey
combed with German spies. Every
day or two some person who passed
as a business or professional man,
and who has been well regarded, is
caught with the GOODS and ar
rested. Every state, every city. and
every town harbors these agents or
allies of the enemy who are mas
mcrading as peaceable citizens. Our
aasygoing. think way makes
smooth sailing for pirate craft, right
into the councils of state and city,
and even our own homes. No coun.
try had ever 80 well organized and
numerous a spy system as Germany
has maintained right here in the
United States under our very eyes.
The constantly recurring ineendiary
fires, the ingenious lies of endless
variety, are both part of the same
underground system. The Chicago
Herald has printed, run down, and
exploded more than one hundred Of
these adroit falsehoods which would
pass muster with most auditors.
Here Is where we can all be alert
to spot and stop this propaganda.
The next one you hear, run it down
to its source. You will not get far
before YOU reach someone who can I
remember who told it. Anybody
who Is full of information favorable
to Germany and unfavorable to our

where and from whom he acquired

is an opportunity for boys and girls,
as well rs grown ups, to run down,
locate, and explode this work of the
