COlOled Gent in the

II is inconcevable that the Western Union and
Postal Telegraph officials dense that they fail
to recognize the nalcnable right Of employees TO

II is inconceivabc that these companies locked
out 200 and girls in Seattle. and imported strike

their employees into the abect submission Of feudal
slaves.
There must be q deeper purpose than that, for
Il Is plain 10 all intelligent people that these

and age the right TO organize is longer dehaable.
II II plain that these industrial questions the

Why, then the lockout?
Does II lie In the fact that the Western Union
and Postal Telegraph companies anxious TO have
the government commander their systems!
When the United States took the railroads.
il guaranteed the average dividends Of the three pre-
vious years. II Is fact that the past three years
have been the richest in the history Of the telegraph
companies, tho the employees retained at starva.

a war-profiteerng guarantee from the government?
This may be the dark gent in the woodpile.
Sooner or later the government must take

The officials Of the companies know that and II looks

PREDICTS REVOLUTION
WILL END WAR IN 1918.

An Atlantic Port, Feb. 2.-Opin-
ion that unless the war ends within
the year 1918 there will be a revolu-
tion which will overthrow the Hohep-
zollerns in Germany was expressed by
the Rev. Aloysius Daniels. of Hewitt,
Wis, upon his arrival here today
from Germany by way of Switzerland.
'"7he people of Germany are
starving" said Mr.. Daniels, who for
three years has been studying in
Westphalia. There are few left
who are more than SO years old, all
succumbing to lack of nutrition,
while the death-~Faattee~arn among the
children is frightful.
President Wilson is anathematiz-
ed throughout the empire but hardly
worse than is the emperor, while
what is said openly of the crown
prince is not fit to repeat.
II believe they will Quell this Incl
pient revolution. but there will be an
q er unless the war ends before next
r and that one will be the end OF
Hohenzollerns. The Germans are
tragically short of all sorts of food"

Negro Farmer, Father of 35, Sends
! Platoon Hunting for the Hun

Borden, well known colored farmer
Of this county, has the distinguished
record of having IA sons serving in

This interesting news came to light
Thursday of this week during the pro
cess of a divorce case being tried in
Superior court in this city in which
Farmer Borden was a witness for the
plaintiff.
Borden related the following story
of his life's history to Judge Whed-
bee, who in a spirit of humor, asked
Borden if he wanted to marry the
woman after she secured a divorce,
or in other words was he trying to
aid her to get divorce in order that
he might marry her?
Il have been married three times.
Two of my wives are dead and the
third living. 1 am the father of 35
S by my first wife. IL by
my second wife and eight by my pres
ent wife. My first wife gave birth to
four boys each time for three times,
and at one time my second wife pre-
sented me with three boys and one
girl, all arriving within a period of
a half hour. Twenty-seven of my
children are living. the youngest be-
ing only % months old, and I now
have IA sons serving in Uncle Sans
army"
Following his relation Of this re-
markable statement, Borden said he
was 62 years old.
