That Pot of Beans.

We were talking with some of the
boys who shortly before had served in
the trenches with the first detachment
assigned to the firing line. They told
us of the fighting and the raids and
how young Enright and Hay had met
their death.
But how do you like life in the
trenches?"
"Oh, not so bad. Gee! You ought
to have seen those beans. 1t was this
way. The cook had just cooked pot
of beans for supper and had put it on

MARTIAL LAW is
DECLARED IN JAPAN
HUNGRY RIOTERS THROUGHOUT
NATION FIERcELY BATTLE
POLICE AND TROOPS
SOCIAL CRISIS IN EMPIRE
War Has Created Millionaires But
Increased Misery OF Poor-Up-
risinas Often Anti-capitalistic

Tokio.-There has been serious riot
ing in Toxic. Mobs attacked and dam
aged property in the business and
theater districts.
The rioters also entered and pill
\ LACED houes in Asakusa, the great
recreation resort of the middle and
lower classes. A number of the dis
| turbers were wounded by the police.
! Troops have been called out in
nearly every important city in Japan.
Even the naval station at Maizura is
affected by the unrest. Two thou
sand workmen there are rioting in con-
junction with the populace.
AT Nagoya, noted for it's manufac-
ture of porGelains, mob estimated at
10000 persons, rioted. At several
places the soldiers fired at the disturb
ers.
At Kobe the soldiers and police also
were obliged to use sabres and bayo-
nets against the rioters.
The newspaper comment here seems
to indicate that food riots through
out the country are an expression of
growing social unrest among the peo-
pie and to reflect the belief that the
empire is advancing toward a social
crisis. The riots are spreading, in
volving alike the poor and middle
classes who feel impelled to protest 1
against economic conditions.
1t is remarked that the uprising are
often anti-capitalistic in nature, the |
mobs attacking and destroying the |
of the wealthy and vOicing
anger at evidences of luxury. Geisha
girls have been stoned as they have
driven through the serets in automo-
biles and the houses of the rich have
been assailed.
While the war has created million
aires and increased the luxuries of
he rich, it has also increased the mis-
cry of the poor, because of insufficient
wages being paid. Factory hands,
specially, are fomented by the ring
eaders of the riots, which are the
irst of the kind to occur since Japan
vas opened to western civilization.

100 |. w. w. CHIEFS ARE
GUILTY OF CONSPIRACY
For 1873 Days William D. Haywood And
Associates IN The Organization
Have Been On Trial

/ Chicago, Ill.-One hundred leaders
of the Industrial Workers of the
World were found guilty as charged
in the Indictment" by the jury after
! one hours deliberation at their trial
for conspiracy to disrupt the nations
war program here. Arguments for
new trial will be heard next week.
The defendants, including William
d. ("Big BilP0 Haywood, general sec.
retary-treasurer of the l. w. w., the
highest position in the organization,
faces a maximum penalty of twenty
seven years in prison and $4,000
fine each.
Federal Judge X. M. Lands in his
charge to the jury, withdrew the fifth
and last count of the Indictment, which
charged conspiracy to violate the post
al laws, and particularly that section
excluding from the mails enterprises
in the nature of schemes to defraud.
The remaining four counts of the in
dictment specifically charge violation
of the espionage act, the section OF the
criminal code prohibiting interference
with the civil rights of citizens, the
selective service act and the conspira-
cy statute.
The close of the case, which has |
been before the court for 1873 days was
sudden. Two minor witnesses testi-
fed in the morning session. and fol-
lowing them Frank X. Nebeker, chief
counsel for the government, began ris
closing argument, for which he was
allowed two hours, but consumed
scarcely half of that time. Then
George F. Vanderveer, head of the
defense legal staff, to the surprise or
all in the courtroom, declared that he
would submit the case, to the jury
without making closing statement.
