WAR PLANT WORKERS STRIKE.
Many Grievances Are Claimed by
English Munitions Workers.

London, July PA strike of mu-
milton workers began at Birmingham
at o'clock this evening, the hour the
day workers finished their work and
when the night shift was to come on
duty, according to q dispatch to the
Central News from Birmingham.
The aggregate membership of the
twelve societies affiliated with the
Joint committee of the engineering
trades unions is about $1,000, in
Guiding about 5000 women. Officials
OF the joint committee say they have
no reason to doubt that all the work
ers will be loyal to the resolution to
stop work.
The trades union advisory COM
mittee has been summoned by the
ministry Of munitions to a confer
! ence Thursday to discuss the labor
troubles at Coventry and the general
labor position. How far the union
officials will be able to influence the
situation is impossible to say.
According to reports from Coven-
try the strikers are not only defying
the government, but also the trades
| union leaders and have overthrown
their local leaders. The number of
men involved is from 5000 to 49,
600, variously reported as IS to SO
per cent Of Coventry's total of muni-
tion workers.
Some reports are to the effect that
the strikers are nearly all young
men of military age who took refuge
In the engineering trade from con-
| scription earlier in the war, and, it
Is said, are prepared to go to any
| lengths to evade active service.

\AoSSoi AlSSOtu, GOlu.)
Cecil o. Hilley, a young white man
of Madison county, was shot and
killed by U. S. marshals near Dan
ielsville last Wednesday while resist
ing arrest.
Hilley had been drafted and sum-
moned to appear before the local

so, and hence stood In the same re-
lation ; deserter before the law.
Officers had been seeking him for
some time, and upon information
raided his home, where it was said he
was in hiding. After surrounding the
house, the officers saw young Hilley
and another man come out, and when
they called for them to stop, both
men ran, Hilley firing as he ran. The
officers returned the fire, and Hilley
was mortally wounded, dying short
ly afterwards.
A further result of the raid was
the finding of seven or eight block
ade stills, and a search of the Hilley
home revealed trap door and an
underground sleeping-quarters where
young Hilley had been sheltered.
A case was made against his mo-
ther and father for harboring de-

{its Misfortune, Not Fault.

London, July 25.-The former
Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovitch, cou-
sin of the late Russian Emperor, has
just been appointed an honorary cap
tain in the British army. Dmitri, ac-
cording to the Daily Telegraph, was
present at the famous supper at the
palace Of Prince Youssoupoff, in Pet
rograd, which resulted in the death
of the priest Rasputin. He was ar.
rested on the order of the Russian
Empress and banished to the Persian
front. Dmitri owes his personal
safety TO the fact that he was on the
Persian front when the revolution
broke out.
The Daily Express says that if the
report Of the death of the former
heir-apparent Alexis Is true, Dmitri
is heir to the Russian throne, as the
sons of Grand Duke Vladimir Alex
androyitch lost their right to success
sion some years ago.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure ca
tarrhal deafness, and that Is by a
constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
deafness is caused by an infiamed
condition Of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian tube. When this tube is
infamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing ,and when it is
entirely closed, deafness Is the re-
suit. Unless the Inflammation can
be reduced and this tube restored to
it's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases Of
deafness are caused by catarrh,
which is an inflamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrl
Medicine acts through the blood on
the mucous surfaces of the system.
We will give one hundred. dollars
for; any case. OF. catarrhal deafness
