THE WAR, THE f ARM
AND THE. f NIE,R
BY Herbert Quick
Men1ker Federal FaEn Lean Boerd

der Aa a thing against which we
could mot dpfend ourselves,
We should have allowed this new
horror to become part OF All future
wars, and have been responsible for
ita incorporation into international
law.
we should have proved that be-
cahee the fire which burns np our
farms, usefulnegs is beyond tlie'hori-
zon, we would submit to the kndhng
of it.
I'VE might have accepted the sew
enty cents for wheat and the SIX cents
for cotton. but we could not have
done it merely because we we're
commanded to do " BY 80 doing
we should have accepted degrada;
tion. We should have begun, after
winning our freedom In our own
revolution and establishing union
on the foundation Of liberty IN tns
blood and tears OF our war between
the states. TO knuckle under 70 autoc-
racy! We should have baselx yisiesa
up our birthright as Americans.
Such a thought is intolerable. PeAce
at such q price would not be peace,
but only a preparation for q future
revolt against subjugation. Better
any sort Of war; better war forefer'
that that.
Whenever the time comes TOT ne1
! sacrifices, let us remember that We

or next year or twenty years rpm
now, hnt for our freedom today Not
FOR the right TO livesin the future, nut
for the right to make a living TINS

pinch us before we entered the var.
.lIf we had not declared war, but had
accepted the conditions Of life ordered
for us by the Kaiser. we should toGAy
be poverty-stricken people. 8 Oar
factories would be smut down, oar
workmen unemployed, our people
starving, our fArmefs ruined by the
poverty OF those for whose consump'
ton they grow their crops.S There is
loss and sacrifice IN the war, but
there would have been TAR more OF
loss and sacrifice IN accepting the
German terms We should have lest
more in money than we have spent
in the war, but we should have bos'
something far more precious. we
should have lost our souls.

ASK INFORMATION ABOUT INVASION
 OF CONSULATES
No Nasty Action Will Be Taken by United States
 Against Turks.

Washington, June 20.- Through Spain and Sweden the American gov ernment sought further information today regarding the seizure of the American consulate in Tabriz, Persia, and footing of an American hospital there by Turks. Only the meagre ac- count of the incident contained in a dispatch yesterday from Minister Caldwell in Teheran has reached the State Department.
 There will be no nasty action by the United States toward recognizing what may have been an act of war and thereby adding Turkey ti the nations enemies. A complete and of- ficial report will be awaited before the State Department lays before Presi- dent Wilson the information on which he will base a decision as to whether he will ask Congress for another war declaration.
 Appearing before the Senate For eign Committee today in regard to an- other matter, Secretary Lansing dis cussed the Tabriz incident and he and members of the committee were said to agree that if the attack on the American consulate were made by an organized Turkish military force and not by a mob it would present an overt act sufficient to warrant a declaration of war

OUT
 AT THE CURTISS

Machinists and Toolmakers to Number of 800 Demand
 An Eight Hour Day.

Buffalo, June 20-Eight hundred and toolmakers at the plant of the Curtiss Aeroplane & Mo tor Co. voted to strike unless granted demands which include an eight hour day and a scale of wages equal to that paid in the navy yards for similar work. The men also demand the re- instatement of men alleged to have been discharged last month when fed eral intervention temporarily delayed a. crisis in the difficulties between the men and the company. The wages range from 40 to 70 cents an hour. The navy yard scale which the men demand grades up to S1 cents an hour for special work.
 The strike went into effect at the main plant of the concern at 10 o'clock. Two hundred men, accord ing to union leaders, laid down their tools. Machinists at other plants will be called out at noon, it was an- nounced. James B. Kepperley, gen. eral manager, met committee of the men at 10 o'clock.

SERIOUS RIOTS NOW GOING ON VIENNA REPORTS Message By Exchange Tele- graph Say Mob Broke In
 to Bakeries. STONE RESIDENCE
 OF THE PREMIER Cavalry Rushed to City to Restore Order-Protest Against Bread Ration.

London, June 20-Serious rioting broke out in Vienna yesterday, says an Exchange Telegraph Co. dispatch from Amsterdam. The mob broke into several bakeries, stoned the resi- dence of the premier, and one of the wings of the Hofburg palace, the message adds.
 Cavalry was rushed to the capital to restore order. It is probable, it is said, that martial law will be pro- claimed.
 The rioting was in protest against the reduction of the bread ration.
 There have been reports from var ious sources recently of troubles in Austria, notably in the capital, be- cause of the bread ration reduction forced by the virtual exhaustion of the Austrian grain supplies. The bread allotment to each individual in the city of Vienna is now less than 1 # pounds weekly, it was said in a dis patch from Copenhagen on Tuesday.
 Protests against this rationing have been vehement from various quarters. The Vienna city council on Tuesday adopted a resolution of protest, and tue ldDOT COulCll III ltdI Clly cIlA- phmasized its similar protest by the passage of a resolution renewing it's demand for a speedy general peace.
 Strikes in Vienna and elsewhere have been one outgrowth of the situa- ton, according to reports from Switz- erland, and fears have been expressed in Austrian quarters that what would virtually amount to a general strike l was imminent
 In one recent labor demonstration in Vienna the police had to be called | to disperse the rioters, it was said. Austria, it appears, is entering the new harvest year without any reserve stock whatever and is dependent on | Germany for such scanty supplies as she is receiving. Germany, herself, however, is reported so short of ! stocks that she is able to extend little

While Lieut.. Col. Robbins said he would make no statement until he had conferred with the state depart ment, unofficial members of the party asserted that thousands of Gzscho- Slovaks are on their way to the United States to offer their services against Austria.
 These men, it was said, had been conscripted by Austria when war was declared, but at the first opportunity they had deserted to the Russians, remaining with the latter until the Brest-Litovsk peace treaty was sign ed. The treaty being unsatisfactory to them. they decided to come to the United States and offer their services.
 Every courtesy was shown to the party by the Bofshevik government. it was said. A private car furnished for them in Moscow, notwithstanding the scarcity of rolling stock on the Trans-Siberian railroad, and they made the, journey to Vladivostok in record time. E

Washington, June 20-Postal in- spectors arrested today several >trav- cling agents of the Western Union Telegraph Go. on trains between Bos- ton, New York, Philadelphia, Balti- more and Washington and seized suit cases that they were carrying filled with messages filed for transmission by telegraph.
 This practice, which is said to have been in operation by the telegraph company for some time, is regarded as a violation of postal laws forbid ding persons not connected with the postal service from conducting a traf- fic in communications over regular post roads.
 The facts discovered will be pre- sented to grand juries and officials of the telegraph company will be sum- moned to explain the practice. The penalty for violation of the postal laws is a fine of not more than $500 or six months imprisonment.

 Licensing also is required of com mission men, order buyers traders, speculators and scalpers handling or dealing in live cattle, sheep, swine or goats, ''in or in connection with such stock yards" except those exempted by the food and fuel law.
 The presidents action is in accord ance with the recommendations of a committee on the live stock and meat situation, appointed by the president and which held hearings in Chicago, Philadelphia and other cities.
 Regulator powers under the proc 1amation are conferred on the secre- tary of agriculture, who in turn, it was announced, has delegated the authority to the bureau of markets, of which Charles J. Brand is chief.
 Licensing machinery developed by the food administration in connection with the licensing of firms engaged in handling foods will be used, 1t was explained. Rules and regulations for the licenses are heing formulated by the bureau of markets and will be given out within a few weeks. Con- ferences will be held with stock men, stock yards operators and represent atives of trade organizations first will be called.
 Penalties for stock yard concerns and individuals who fail to license by July 25 are provided in the presidents proclamation
 The recommendation of the investi- gating committee on which the pres ident based his proclamation follows;
 'aThe stock yards should be placed under license and regulation by the department of justice, which should also establish a government system o1 animal grading under suitable reg lulations and methods of price re- tporting of actual transactions. Daily reports should be made on distrfbu- ition and destinations of live stock meats and other products from prin' ctpal packing points"

The license was granted to Shea after a strong protest had been made to the commissioners based on the unsuitability of the place because of it's close proximity to the Y M. c. A. and the numerous financial institu- tions in the neighborhood
 Shea owns the building in which his place of businesss is located and has. been at his present stand for about 20 years. One of the facts brought out at the hearing was to the effect that in all that time no remonstrance had ever been entered before The case is returnable to the Superior court the first Tuesday in September and it is said that the Y. M. c. A. are to make an attempt to have the case heard during the summer under a special statute that covers such situations.
 An interesting fact which may have some bearing on the case when the appeal is heard is that some time ago Shea is alleged to have instigated remonstrance against J. E. Morrison, who wished to locate in the store at the corner of Union Square and Main street, the license that at one time belonged to the Atlas hotel. This was brought by the Thomas P. Taylor Co, who in turn sold it to Morrison. The remonstrance stated that the place was unsuitable and is next door to where Shea is now doing busina~@
