writings history will be at loss to know which was more cowardly and which ended in a more shameful man. ner, the German fleet or the sovereign who created it. Throughout the war the huge German ships stayed hidden in port, protected by nets and mines, like an ostrich that buries it's head in the sand to avoid seeing it's dangers. And finally they surrendered without the least struggle, with lack of dig nifty that offend the professional pride of the Allied sailors intrusted with taking them prisoners.

 But the navy was his creation There is no disputing that. It was he who exclaimed "Germany's future lies upon the water" No doubt he had numerous collaborations of more ability than he, but we will pay no attention to this Let us grant that he was able to squeeze the second greatest fleet of the world out of his country in a few years. He deserves to have his 3a- ternity recognized, for the creator is worthy of his work. Tn it's future

GERMAN ORDERS OF TIE ]. W, V.
 PLANNED HERE
Attempt to Intimidate Witness is Charge Made by District
 Attorney.

New York, Nov. 7.-Country- wide attempts to organize German branches of the Industrial Workers of the World were disclosed by the police today.
 Thousands of circulars have been distributed from Chicago to l. w. w. branches, announcing that repre- sentative will start operation in New York November 20 and work west, fully equipped with literature and application blanks in the interest of the proposed German branches.

GOVERNMENT READY
 FOR HEARING CASE
 AGAINST THE MINERS
Indications at Indianapolis Are That Matters Will Be Heard
 Today.

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 7.-There was no indication tonight that an effort would be made to have injunction proceedings against the striking coal miners, set for hearing tomorrow in federal court, postpon- ed. Attorneys for the government declared they were prepared to car ry out their program.
 ! Attorneys for the miners tonight stated they would make no effort to secure a continuance of the hearing, but if their efforts failed to secure dismissal of the case, they would ask for modification of the inJunc- , tion to allow use of the strike bene- fit fund.
 Officials of the United Mine Wor-- kers of America at international headouarters here also refused to discuss the court action tomorrow or l the possibility of settling the strike outside of the courts. John l.. Lew is, acting president of the organlza- tion, when asked tonight about the report that Samuel Gompers, .presl-. dent of the American Federation Of Labor, had communicated with him concerning his conference with At torney General Palmer today. would only reply that he "had nothing to say" When the injunction proceedings come up in court tomorrow morning , it is expected that first argument will be on the miners motion for dismissal of the governments peti- i tion for injunction. This motion at tacks the governments right to in terfere in the strike situation and declares that President Wilson ex- ceeded his authority in re-establish- ing the national fuel administration. May, Argue Motion.
 If the motion is overruled by the court the governments petition TOT temporary injunction to prevent mine workers leaders from partlcl- pating in the conduct of the strike will be argued. This petition,f in ad- dition to asking that the present re- straining order be made temporary injunction, asks for court order to compel the miners heads to with draw their strike call.
 It was pointed out today that all though the governments petition asks CnlV TOT IcliPOAoAy iiiJ~~
 tion at this time, Judge Anderson may, if he thinks advisable, make the injunction permanent.
 In their defense against that part of the governments prayer for a mandatory order to rescind the strike the miners, it is understood, will bring up the question of wheth- CT the union officials can call off the strike if ordered by the court. The miners have contended since the strike call was issued that as the walkout was ordered by the Cleve- land convention they were powerless to arrest it. and that only another session of the convention could au- l thorize the miners to return to work I The unions lawyers also will invoke the Clayton law of 1914, which, they say, prevents interference in any dis pnte between employers and em- ployes on wages.
