SOCIALISTS ARE
 BLAMING ANTI-
 SOCIALIST ORGANS

NEW YORK, April 4.-Socfalist and anti-Socialist newspapers of Ger many have been indulging in a sharp and rather embittered debate since the ending of the great strike in February, over the question as to who or what party was responsible for the serious labor disturbance. Ac- cording to German newspapers re- ceived here the Socialist party not only refused to disapprove of the strike but tried to fix the blame. for it upon the government, asserting that it's methods of dealing with the public had given grounds for the trouble.
 The North German Gazette, an of- ficial organ, declared that the strike was form of war sabotage in the interests of peace.

Osceola Has Another Big Fire.

Osceola has been exceedingly fortu-

evident that in the course of events
cur little city is destined to bear its
full share of loss by the fire fiend.
It was about 11:45 Friday night
while Night Marshal Frank Dutton

in the door in hopes that he. might
be able to control the flames with

to the destruction of the goods. The
flames had worked their way up be-

in a manner that made it necessary
to take the burning clothing and
dry goods from the shelves and
tramp them on the submerged floor
of the building. AS a result almost
the entire stock was either destroy

Mr.. Jarl estimates that he had
about $4,000 worth of goods in the

local elevators, as we'll as all other
companies in the state, had recently
been warned by the United States
marshal to look out for firebugs, and

At the time of the fire there was

Mr.. Hynden was loading car of
oats Saturday and worked until
