Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1919-10-10
By EDWARD W. PlcKARp.

President Wilson is a very sick
man" according to his physician, Rear
Admiral Grayson. After a consultation
with Drs. Dercum of Philadelphia and
Ruftin and Stitt of Washington, it was
announced that absolute rest was es-
sential for some time 1t was reported
that an operation of some sort would
be performed.
Despite the confident assertions of
Fitzpatrick, Foster and other union
LEADERS, the developments of the week
IN the steel strike went to strengthen
the belief that the battle will be won
by the employers. The mills at Gary
kept increasing their production until
1t was said to have reached so per cent
of the normal, and many other plants
in that district including South Chi
ca2o, reported that their workers were
returning The Indiana Steel COM
Rtany at Gary, for instance, was oper-
aiing on Thursday with about 5000
men, or half the usual force. and the
Mark Manufacturing company, employ
ing between 5000 and 5000 men, was
preparing to reopen its plant with a
large force The strikers still out in
that area were growing restless as they
saw their fellow workers returning by
the thousands. and feared they would
lose their places permanently.
s In the Pittsburgh region there was
moi much change in thp situation At
tie opening of the week the strike
against the Bethlehem company. the
largest independent steel concern in
the country, began, but it was far from
successful. A few of the company's
departments in it's various plants We're
closed, but most of them were oper-
ating as usual, though with somewhat
reduced forces. The Pennsylvania
state police had the situation well in
hand and violence was quickly sup
pressed.

The president was comforted by the
assurance of his supporters in the SEN
ate that that body would not accept
any amendments or reservations to
the peace treaty and covenant. Also
he must have smiled when he heard
of the doings at Ardmore, Okla, though
Of course he could not approve of them.
The people of that untamed town
warned Senator Reed to cancel his enr
gagement to speak there against the
treaty. He ignored the warning and
when he appeared on the platform the
lights were put out and he was show
cred with eggs and Kissed and hooted
into silence.
The Fall amendments to the treaty,
designed to eliminate the United
States from participation in all the
various international commissions ere
ated by it except that on Preparations,
came to a vote in the senate Friday
and were beaten, as was expected. The
opposition refused to regard the vote
as an accurate test of the strength Of
the opposing factions, as number OF
mild reservationists voted against the
amendments. The senate is now to
take up in order the Moses amendment
providing that whenever questions in
volving any part of the British empire
come before the league, none OF the
British dominions or colonies shall
vote; the Shantung amendment. and
last the Johnson amendment. 1t Is
hoped final vote on the treaty may
be reached about November 1. How
ever, there is danger of long dead
lock, as some administration senators
have threatened that If the Lodge res
ervations are adopted 40 Democrats
will stand together to defeat the rat
flying resolution. The Democrats
would then try to get vote on the
question of unreserved ratification, and
it is claimed that from SO to 40 Repub-
licans can be counted on to vote
against ratification without reserva-
tons.

Another labor dispute that will be
felt by the entire country is conferred
in New York. A simultaneous lockout
and strike took place in some $50 print

out virtually all the trade publications

a large percentage of the books. Ten
thousand members of local printing
trades unions were thrown out of work.

General Won der Goltz still refuses
to withdraw the German army from
the Baltic region, and the government
at Berlin, perSisting in its contention
that those troops are not under its con-
troll, has shut off their supplies-so it
says. The supreme councils patience
was exhausted and it authorized Mar
shall Foch to send an ultimatum to
/ Berlin with the threat of renewal Of
! the blockade. Near the close of the
week it was reported in Paris that the
blockade had been put into effect. Won
Ger Goltz has been grossly insulting
to General Burt, representative Of the
allies in Riga, and has announced he
would allow no Englishmen to remain
in the Baltic territory occupied by Ger
man troops.
A Riga correspondent cables that
the Letvian government has called to
the colors all men between the ages
of nineteen and twenty-seven. The in
tention presumably is to move against
the Germans, and possibly an advance
against Petrograd is contemplated. in
conjunction with the Esthonian army.
Omaha is hanging it's head in shame
because of the wild outbreak in which
negro prisoner was lynched, Mayor
Ed Smith nearly murdered by the mob,
and the handsome new county build
ing set on fire. The local authorities
being helpless, federal troops were hur-
ried to the scene and quickly restored
order. Smith is in a way a reform"
mayor. and decent Omaha people lay
the blame for the rioting to bitter
newspaper campaign that has been
carried on against him and his police
force
Still another race war broke out in
Elaine, Ark, in which five whites and
eleven negroes were killed. Troops
were sent there. too. In Helena, near
by, the situation was tense.

Canine Life Saver.

Dogs have been given their share OF
credit for saving human life, from time
to time, but it is doubtful if any canine,
however faithful, has ever given bet

Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Thiele We're run
down at a cross road by another car
which was travelling at great speed.
When the crash occurred the Thiele
car was picked up by the other and the
force of the collision threw a fifteen
months-old baby from Mrs. Thiele's
arms. The child would have met GER
tain death beneath the cars but for the
fact that in falling the baby struck
a dog which was riding on the foot

The baby received fewer injuries than
did the other occupants of the cars.

The moon may be of tremendous
importance to young folks hanging over
the garden gate or to night marauders
with an incurable thirst for water
melon, but it should have no sinister
significance to gardeners or farmers.
In some sections of the country pre-
walls a popular belief that in the sea
son when frost is to be expected its
occurrence is largely influenced by the
phase of the moon or other periodical
phenomena. Careful tabulation of
frost data and comparison with moon
phases fails to disclose any such rela-
ton. All persons interested are there
fore cautioned to watch not the moon
but the forecasts issued by the wealth
er bureau.

A friend of mine is very fond of Job
ster, hut, like many men, has no idea
how such food is prepared. His wife
had occasion to be absent from home
one day last week, and she told the
servant girl TO broil lobster for my
friends dinner. She left q note, telling
her husband of the treat she had pro-
vided for him, and requesting him not
to wait dinner for her. He was quite
hungry when he reached home and, af-
ter regarding the note, said to the ser
want:
rs that lobster ready?"
mo, sir, it isn't" said the girl.

CRY as bear" said he.
Il can't, sir" said the girl. 'sThe
mistress said to broil the lobster, and
l got him on the gridiron after dale
of fuss. The more poked the fire the
more he walked off. and thought the
haste was haunted and no good would
come from cooking a straddle bug like
that"
What did you do with it?" said my
friend, getting mad.

asked with animation. 1.-THE name OF
the English queen" I replied; and
there, under the crown, l showed him
the letters V. r. He fondled the gun
even more lovingly, for the rifle is the
DruSes' sweetheart, and murmured:
"'She is a good lady. Strange that so
great country should be ruled by a
woman, vet our learned men tell us
that even Tadmur in the days of Its
greatness was ruled by queen ;" then
confidentially: "Our cousins the Eng

money; but those who bring them take
all that, and we are thankful, for
otherwise we should have to fight the
Arabs with sings and spears" He
leaned forward with his rife across his
lap and with chin in hand, gazed In

the oriental, out over the vast plain
at our feet, listening in his day dream
for the strange martial music he
Ionged to hear, and wistfully picturing

ALIBE PROVED FOR PRETzEL
1t Can Be Proved That It Was
Not OF German Origin.

Now comes the lowly pretzel before
the bar of public opinion In valorous
attempt to remove the stigma of Ger
man origin. 1t has delved deep into
ancient history to prove it's alibi and
upon the face of the evidence pre-
sented it has made out a reasonable
case for itself. Indignantly does the
pretzel deny that 1t sprang from I'M
hallowed association with German
beer; that use it declares IS desc
Grafton Of It's originally high birth,
degradation enthusiastically Teu-
tonic. The pretzel insists that 1t is
inherently baked prayer, for in the
early day of the Christian church the
pretZel was used almost exclusively
as reward Of merit given by priest
to children for learning their prayers.
In the mOnasteries of the middle ages
the pretzel was considered a rare del
icacy, and during lent it wasgthe usual
aims offering. Furthermore the very
croOkedness of the pretzel is a crush
ing argument against its calumniatorS,
for It represents the arms folded in
prayer. Thus stands the case for the
sanctity Of the humble pretzel.

and the testimony Of the Oldest In
habitants, gives authority to the state
ment that the Oldest house, No. 54
North st. George street, st. Augustine,
Fla, is really the oldest house in
America. Built by the Dons in medic
val times (15S9) on the oldest street
of what was the site of the Indian vii
lage of Seloe, whose chief was Folo-
mato, this ancient house has never
been remodeled or modernized.
The architecture is of Moorish de-
sign, antedating the Spanish. With its
coquina-terrace floors, round carved
pillars in the patio, mahogany stair

pegged together, secret closets ana
other substantiating hallmarks, 1t Is

We simply can't feel surprised these

a new labor. A survey of the present
field gives an idea of the variety of
work they do. Women are: Elevator
conductors, telegraph operators, rail-
road ticket agents, munition workers,
editors, farm laborers, ushers, pilots
