The Occupation OF Zabern.

In the official list of important
cities occupied by the Allied armies,
list that includes Brussels, Ant
werp, Metz and the upper Alsatlan
capital Of Colmar, appears the name
Of Zabern. This little town on the Dor
der Of Alsace and Lorraine, tranquil
and peaceful enough to be called the
town of roses" has scarcely more
than 5000 people, yet 1t was the
scene of a peculiarly significant Incl
dent that attracted international at
tention just before the war.
In November, 1913, n young Ger
man Lieutenant, Baron Won FoRsT-
SER, in a speech to new recruits, said
that he would willingly give ten
marks out of his own pocket to any
soldier who would run his bayonet
through a Wackes ian Alsatian) :"
He afterward struck with his sword
lame cobbler who was too slow In
getting out Of his way on the street.
A popular remonstrance followed and
in the attempt to repress this ex-
preston Of Zabern's indignation the
Colonel of the regiment, Won REUTER-,
took upon himself the authority to
declare military law.
The effect Of the Zabern incident
was twofold. II revived in France
with much Of Its early intensity the
Alsace and Lorraine question. The
action Of the people Of Zabern was
accepted as clear indication that
even after forty years the French
spirit had not been conquered by Ger
man oppression. The trial and ac-
qulttal of Won FoRsTNEB and the
other officers Of the Zabern garrison
disclosed to the world the character
and strength Of German mfiitarism.
The Crown Prince sent his congratu-
lations to vow FoRsTNER and the
whole Of military Germany gave its
approval of the severe measures taken
by Colonel Won REUTER-. "We shall
conclude" said n member of the
LtClSilSlo6, thut liic ShuAC uhu NV
the law rules Germany. The result
Of the Zabern affair means the tri-
umph of n war thirsty soldlery."
The fate of the principal charac-
tiers in the affair has been told In
the dispatches. vow FoBsTNER was
killed early in the war, shot by his
own men, 1t was reported; Won REU-
TER was killed in the advance in
northern France; the Ninety-ninth
(the Zabern) Regiment was annlhi-
lated, no quarter was asked and none
was given. The lame cottbler, n des-
patch n few days ago reported, was
anxiously awaiting the appearance
of the French army.
Zabern has throughout remained
Loyalty pro-French from its position
in the very heart of the lost provinces
it exercised great influence in keep
ing alive the hope of restoration to
France. To Zabern the coming Of the
Allied armies is an act Of dellverance,
for 1t had suffered more than any
other Alsatian town from German
autocracy.

$4,000 LESS MEN WORKING
IN AMERICAN COAL MINES

4 : II b
ST. Paul, Mimi, June 14.-The coal
shortage situation probably will be
more keenly felt this winter than last
| according to representative of the
United Mine Workers Union of Amer
lea who are attending the annual con
yention of the American Federation
OF Labor. Discussion of the coal sit
uation arose late today after resolu
ton requesting the federation to lend
its efforts to obtain coal for the New
England districts had been adopted.
/ The adoption of resolutions asking
congress to derive funds for carrying
on the war from taxation rather than
from bond issues looking to the re-
Mobilization of labor after the war and
making provisions for returned SOL
diers was the outstanding features of
session marked by the disposal of
nearly rs resolutions
The anthracite situation, w Green,
secretary of the mine workers union,
said, gives reasons for grave fear.
Enlistments and more alluring wages
in other lines of work has drawn more
than 10000 miners from the anthra-
cite industry, it was said. AS so
luton of the problem the construction
of municipal containers, to be filed
in the summer months, was set forth
by other delegates.

the fact that the one threatens the

We think it high time that the Am

that we ordinarily deal with audible

when it deliberately seeks to create
the impression, as it does in it's quota

are not worth what they are repre-

MANY MEN, MANY MINDS.

We were reminded of this old adage
the other day as we sat at banquet
table, surrounded by men engaged in
various occupations. We are repro
ducing the gist of few observations
because they adorn a tale, as 1t
were.
A man sitting at our left, in the
course of time, preached the question
of the governmental control of the
railroads. He warmly endorsed the
proposition, declaHng that, in his es-
timation, absolute chaos otherwise
would have resulted
The nsighbor across the table at
once took issue with our friend. He
characterized the governments action
in taking over the railroads as not
only unjustifiable. but wasteful, and
its present management as extraya-
giant. Politicians, he said, are making
a sorry mess of the railroad situation.
Economical railroad management, he
continued, can be had only when rail
road men of wide experience are re-
stored to supreme command in rail
road operation.
Both gentlemen are intensely Amer
lean in spirit and thought Each would
be tempted to use his fist upon any
man questioning his loyaltyand yet
these two men were as far apart with
reference to the wisdom Of our gov
ernment's course as are the poles of
the earth
Presently, at our fight, some one
began a discussion Of the political as
poets of the pending campaign with
regard to the two leading parties. Our
|right-hand friend was (and is) a pro-
nounced republican He said that or
der cannot be brought out of the
present chaotic condition in national
and international affairs so long as
the democratic party remains at the
helm OF the ship OF state. Mr.. Viii

Liberty Loan bonds represent money
loaned to tae government for the
purpose of prosecuting the war. If
these loans are converted into other
securities they become part and par
Gel of general business activities and
thus have tendency to depress prices
because f the added volume offered.
But at the same time The Saturday
News suggests that it ought to be
made a crime for our stock gambling
joints, which assume to be the baro-
meter of valuations, to quote Liberty
bonds below par
From day to day during the recent
thirty Liberty Loan drive the New York
stock market was quoting Liberty
bonds as having been sold at prices
ranging around "a to IS cents on the
dollar, thus giving the direct lie if
We accept the quotations as the meas

going to be satisfied with putting up
one hundred cents on the dollar for
Liberty bonds to help win this war
and then witness the stock gambling
markets Haunting of the securities

ssix cents below par!
Profiteerinp and market gambling
are among the worst forms OF pro-
Gernanism In America today. Why
haven't the American people the cour-
age to demand their suppression?
We noticed, not long ago, that a
distinguished Minnesota congressman
embraced the opportunity, on the eve
of the primary in his district, to call
attention to the organized movement
among the farmers of his state and
to question its expediency, but, so far
as we are aware, he has never raised
