Mould Keen Her Busy.

Mrs. Julia Ward Howe had at one
time quite an extensive correspond
'ence with Oscar Wilde. When he was
about to become editor Of a certain
London Magazine he asked her to be-
come a contributor and she evidently
responded favorably, for he wrote:
IT am charmed at the prospect of
counting you among my contributors.
Would you write me an article about
1000 words on Concord-with sketches
of Thoreau, the faun, and Alcott, the
mystic, and Emerson, with his bright
Attic mind, made happy by>a phrase,
and finding comfort in an aphorism,
and Margaret Fuller, to whom Venus
gave everything, except beauty, and
Pallas everything, except wisdom. !
should like the article to be illustrated
by views of Concord. I often
look back to our happy days with
Uncle Sam and have the pleasantest
memories of Newport"

Great Men in the Scale,

Keats enemies first gave currency
to the sneer at him as a chemists or
druggists clerk, and the sheer has al
most passed into a tradition; Kip
ing's ''Wireless,'' for example. Per
petuates and popularizes it, cites a
writer. Yet most people ought to know
that he was never anything Of the sort,
but simply a surgeons apprentice. He
tells US that his last operation was
the opening of mans temporal artery,
and-we quote from Colvin's new life
although he did it with skill and
nicely, that "refecting on what passed
through my mind at the time, my dex-
rerity seemed miracle, and I never
took up the lancet again." There is
something picturesque in putting great
men into a scale lower than that they
really occupied. Lincoln, for example,
is never pictured to us as surveyor
and storekeeper, though his service in
these capacities extended through q
period of years, while he split rails
only for a few MONTHS

Population Of Holy City.

The exceedingly heterogeneous popu.
laton of the holy city csE be imag-
ined when one remembers that it is
the duty of every good Moslem to make
the pilgrimage once. Islam is wide
ly spread religion. From the south of
Africa, fren Madagascar, where the
old Arab slave trade fourished; from
all the states of the Barbary coast the
pilgrims come; from the wide domains
of the sultan, from Egypt, the Bal
:kans and the near east, and from
;Afghanistan, India, Burma, Chira and
Japan. Even from under the Ameri-
can flag they come, from the south
:ern Philippine islands of Mindanao and
tPalawan. Mohammed promised Mecca
that be would make her the center o.
the cities of the earth and to some ez,
"~nt at least the promise is fulfilled.

Those Who Lead,

Some men never have to fight the
battles of coming to their own. They
have the same foes to meet; but they
never seem to doubt their right to rule.
Others begin as children but seem to
lose faith in themselves while getting
an education. There seems to be some
thing in our school system that makes
men Of letters but robs them Of their
Independence Of thought and assertion,
observes an educator. 1t produces low
able dispositions but units them for
executive position It's a fact to be
regretted. Other things being equal,
they should be the best fitted to lead.
They have the polish and the culture,
and The less carefully trained lead
them. There ARE exceptions to the
rule, bat it is sufficiently true to be dis
tressing.

US. URGED TO TAKE

HEAD OF CHICAGO FEDERATION
GOES TO CAPITAL IN INTER-

TO ASSURE HELP NEEDED
To Be Dangerous To Cause Of
Civilization and World
Democracy.

Chicago, Jan. 17.-Immediate taking
over of all the packing plants in the
United States will be urged upon Pres
ldent Wilson by delegation represent.
ing every craft in the industry and
headed by John Fitzpatrick, presi.
dent of the Chicago Federation of La
Dor, which has departed for Washing
ton.
A statement issued by representa-
lives of the employees said:
"Organized packers of the country
have refused to meet US or to cooper
ate with US in any manner in this
great world crisis. They have brazen'
ly repudiated the solemn agreement
entered into by the President and our.
selves through his mediation commits
sion upon last Christmas morning.
Industry Held Vital.
The packing industry is the most
vital and important one in the nation
To permit this industry during the pro
gress Of world war to remain in the
private hands of very few men would
not only be ridiculous from the stand
point of governmental policy but high
~ dangerous to the cause of civiliZa
ton and world democracy for which
we are struggling.
The workers will propose to Presi
dent Wilson that in case the plants
are taken over they will enlist as the
first members of Americas industrial
army and will guarantee the govern
ment full handed equipment for every
packing plant in the United States
They also propose to leave all condi
tons of employment and wages to thu
government. Under a recent agree
ment packers and employees agreed tt
submit all questions at issue between
them to J. E. Williams, as fedora
mediator to abide by his decision.

GERS ARE RELEASED.
Send UItimatum to War Stricken
Nation Allowing Only 24Hour
Period for Compliance.

Petrograd, Jan. 17-War on Ru-
mania unless the nation within "a
hours releases Russian army officers
by the bolsheviki government.
The exact number of Russian Of
fcers who were recently arrested by
Rumanian authorities is now kown.
The Russian UItimatum.
The Russian ultimatum declared:
1--WE are informed that Rumanians
surrounded and disarmed the 194th
and 49th Russian regiments and arrest
ed a committee of the 195th regiment,
also visiting Austrian officers.
Failure to release these persons
and failure to punish those RESPONSE
bic within "a hours will result in our
considering relations ruptured and in
taking the most energetic military
measures"
Relations between Russia and Ru-
mania have been growing increasing
ly tense during during the last few
weeks. Apparently the break started
when the Russian general peace fanat-
icism swept over all the northern
fronts. The Rumanians, elected from
nine-tenths Of their nation, wanted to
keep fighting to the bitter end, but
were literally forced into joining in
the armistice, since Russian troops
on either side of their armies refused
to fight.
Minister Released.
Recently the Rumanian minister to
Petrograd, M. Diamandis, was az
rested by the bolsheviki leaders. He
was released from close confinement
in the fortress of SITS. Peter and Paul
only after formal joint representa-
tons by the entire diplomatic corps.

Gently issued a report on the tin re-
sources Of the Kings Mountain dis

washington, Jan. ll.-AmeI1caA
manufacturing enterprises, with but
few exceptions, east of the Missis'
sippi river have been ordered by the
government to suspend operations
for five days beginning Friday morn
ing as drastic measure for reliev-
ing the fuel famine.
At the same time as a further
means of relief it was directed that
industry and business generally, IN
GLIDING all normal activities that re-
CURED heated buildings, observe as
a holiday every Monday for the next
Mondays, not only factories, but sa-
looms, stores, except for the sale OF
drugs and food, places of amusement
and nearly all office buildings.
While the order does not mention
~shipyards, it is known that they viii
be permitted to continue operations
as usual, although munitions plants
will be closed.
Move Came Without Warning.
The governments move came
without warning in an order issued
by Fuel Administrator Garfield with
the approval of President Wilson pre-
scribing stringent restrictions gov
erning the distribution and use of
coal. It was decided upon hurriedly
by the President and government
heads as a desperate remedy Tor the
fuel crisis and, the anspOrtatiOn
tang1e in thes Eastern states.
Even munition plants are not ex.
cepted from the order. Officials
would net discuss the farreaching
effect the action would have or the
Industrial fabric and questions as
to how the order was to be inter-
yreted to meet specific problems
! went unanswered
The order prescrbes a preferential
list of consumers in whose interest
it was drawn. These users will get
,, coal in the following order:
Railroads.
Household consumers, hospitals,
charitable institutions and army and
navy cantOnmets.
Public utilities, telephone and tele-
! graph plants
Strictly governmental enterprises,
j. excepting factories and plants work
ing on government contracts.
; Public buildings and necessary gov
eminent, state and municipal re-
quirements.
Factories producing perishable
foods and foods for immediate con-
sumption.
To Save 100000 Tons
It is estimated the enforcement
, of the order would save a total of
| 100000 tons of bituminous coal,
which probably is about the present
! shortage. Indications were that at
the end of the 10 weeks of Monday
holidays a permanent policy of re-
stricted consumption would have
been determined upon. This plan
will limit use of coal to less essen
tial industries under a self ration
ing basis.
Louisiana and Minnesota, which lie
partly on both sides of the Mississippi,
we're specifically included as "a whole
in the list Of states to which the
order applies.
