ABOARD u. S. S. GEORGE WASH
INGTON, Sept. 23.-King Albert has
received his taste Of American speed.
The king reveled in it, and is READY
for more.
The initial bit of Yankee hustle was
thrown into play yesterday when the
king left Ostend to board the George
Washington, three miles off Calais. IL
was staged by snappy American naval
officers and husky American gobs.
When Albert, with Queen Elizabeth
and the crown prince, boarded the u.
S. destroyed Ingraham at Ostend, the
king announced, in democratic fash
ion. that he was in hurry Orders
were shouted. The destroyer leaped
from its moorings. And by the time
Albert was comfortably quartered the
Ingraham had struck up clip OF
thirty-five knots.
"Well done!" exclaimed the mon
arch as the destroyer drew up along
side the ocean liner. His words were
addressed to Captain L. q. Breton,
commander of the Ingraham. The Off
GERS and crew of the George Wash
ington vowed today the king would
witness further "snappy action" be-
fore he reached American shores.
Hundreds of thousands Of cheering
Belgians lined the shore and the
moles at Ostend when their king de-
parted. Several thousand Belgian
school children gathered at the
waters edge and sang the national an
them.

| At New Castle seven persons, in
! cluding two women, were wounded
during the same sort of outbreak. The
! Carnegie Steel company asserts the

sympathizers to break into the mill by
tearing down the fence.
City officials have asked that a de.
tachment of state constabuiary be sent
Youngstown and other smaller CEN
remained almost ominously quiet.
From DuQuesne, Braddock, and
other points, in the Pittsburgh dis
trict, police reported men going TO
work as usual early today. At Clair
ton 1t was stated three times as many
men reported for work in the mills
today as were on hand at the opening
yesterday. From Homestead it was
stated the number entering the mills
was also greater than yesterday. The
police of Braddock said double the
number entered the mills this morn
ing. No disorder was reported in any
of the towns.
Today is vital to both sides. The
union leaders claim that more men
will be out of the mills today than
were out yesterday. The company Off
cials assert that having overcome fear
of union organizers and Of being
classed as a scab, many men who re-
NAMED away yesterday will return to
the mills today.
Clarion is looked upon by steel men
as the vital point of Carnegie steel
men. Clarion must be held If other
plants are to operate.
1t is from Clarion that comes coke

1t was admitted last night that it
had been necessary to bank the fur.

mill was also closed. The coke plant
continued to operate, however. With
more men reporting for work today,

/ Police stated that the plant did not

pany was one Of the few plants IN
the Calumet district which officials
admitted was completely tied up by
the strike.

evidently prepared for long battle.

they surveyed the situation, counted
their men and arranged their forces.
Poker faces" were displayed by
both sides today. They were not
clipping" their hands. There were
certain signs, however, by which OBJ
servers judged their strength.
Pickets around the Gary plant OF
the Illinois Steel company, the largest
in the district, were practically in
active today. There were hundreds
of pickets, with their long white RIB
bon badges, but there were few
workers for them to argue with.
During the last two changes OF
shifts-six o'clock last night and six
o'clock this morning, but few

guarded gates AS company officials
Yesterday claimed they had 5000
"loyal" employees, union men declared

provided reports of huge stores of
food and beds so that the workers
would remain constantly inside the
walled and guarded plant.
The few workers who did leave the
plant, were taken out IN automobiles
and busses which were heavily
guarded. A few Of those who left
carried bulky bundles under their
arms. They were carrying their tools
home.

THE FUNDAMENTAL, ISSUE

The argument is made that the Senate's
part in the formulation OF treaties is con-
fined to the process Of ratification or re-
lection. The statement is not true
Treaties must be ratified under the con-
stltution by a two-thirds vote of the
Senate, but separate and apart from this
is the provision that treaties must be
made 'by and with the consent of the
Senate" "AdviCe and consent" imply
initiative as well as mere ratification 1t
is grossly unfair to the Senate, moreover,
to thrust before it a treaty ready made,
affecting IN its terms in tremendous
way the future of the country, and then
say to it that it must either ratify the
compact or take the responsibility for
overthrowlng the peace arrangements
This advantage is fully realized by those
who are insisting that the Senate should
not be consulted in advance about the
terms OF the peace treaty. The arrange
ments made mean that the Senate will
never have opportunity to exercise
material influence upon the terms of the
treaty. Those who cannot comprehend
the fundamental wrong of this procedure
merely lack in an understanding of the
processes of free government on the
American pattern. In this matter the
masses of the people seem to comprehend
the situation more clearly than many al
legged leaders. National Republican.

WASTED HOT WATER
IS So MUCH COAL
THROWN OUTDOORS

Almost without exception domestic
water is provided in the cities of the
east by pumping plants which burn
coal
Therefore, any of the hundred ways
in which we habitually and commonly
waste water is direct waste of coal
SO far as cold water is concerned.
this is a very small waste indeed, but
it is a much more serious matter where
hot water is concerned, the United
States Fuel Administration points out
A leally tap on a hot water pipe will
waste several gallons of water-and
several pounds of coal-in an hour.
SEE THAT ALL YOUR WATER
PIPES AND FAUCETS ARE WITH
OUT LEAKS.
A little careful supervision in the
kitchen will often cut in half the
quantity of hot water used, with an
obvious saving in coal
Likewise, many of us are spend
thrifts when we get into a bathtub
and use two or three times as much
water as necessary for a perfectly
good bath.
Don't let the water run after you
have enough in the tub for a BATH
