suits brought about by Mayor Ole
Hansons ultimatum that troops
would be used If necessary to re-
store SeattIe's business operations
OF normal channels, the sympathetic
strike affecting 10000 workers
seemed tonight near its end.
Major General John r. Morrison,
commander of the western depart

night, after comforting with Mayor
Hanson and city officials, said that

States.
Causes of Failure.
Four causes for the strikes expected
failure were given by city officials who
expected the strike to fail. The first was
the fact that the city maintained opera

refusing 10 strike The rationing scheme
adopted by the strikers of using y
"soup kitchens" to feed strikers and the
public dependant upon restaurants. failed
to function property Food was slow III
arriving. There was little cutlery and no
one seemed to carry an army mess kit.
Many strikers, first to feel the dfscom
fort were left hungry on Thursday. \
third factor assigned was the presence o.
regular army troops. A final cause, said
city offnicials. was the evident lack of
public sympathy with the strikers cause.

London, Feb. S.-Premier Lloyd George

reporters who asked how matters were
going in Paris, the premier replied
tersely: well"
Mr.. Lloyd George is now expected to
take up his famous role AZ concilator In
dealing with the labor troubles. Several
newspapers appeal to him to produce in
parliament q comprehensive scheme for
uniform hours of work and a basis Of
wages in the primary industries and not
undertake piecemeal settlements which
might create trouble.
The underground strike situation is
complicated. London was without un-
derground trains today. and there is no

WINE, SONG AND W0ME:N FEATURE
 BERLIN'S LIFE
It's a Merry Whirl Nova days in Capital-Even
 Reds Catch Spirit.

Berlin, July 2S.-A sort of devil may care" spirit pervades Berlin.
 It undoubtedly arisee from the let manifests itself in a wild pursuit of pleasure. Champagne and gambling are the main objects upon which pleasure craving Berlin directs its attention, seeking surcease from the past.
 Berlin may lack food, but 1t doesn't lack amusernents. A vast class of rich folks are going through their money with surprising rapidity, while many persons of more moder- ate means have caught the infec- ton and are cutting into their sav- ings of a lifetime to satisfy the all most universal desire for pleasure
 Even the Reds who are suppos- ed to be poverty strick- nave a trace of the spirit, as was instanccd recently when a Sparticus party was announced for one of the suburbs, with the statement that there would be plenty to eat and much to drink. In short. the circular stated practically that though the people were poor they were going to spend what they had with lavishness and abandon. There was to be food such aS a ra- toned people were not supposed to be able to obtain, and there was to be drink galore, and the guests were to stay as long as they ra7v fit.
 As a result of this spirit the city is fairly alive with cafes and dance halls There is generally little, or poor, food in these places, but the habitues buy wine with q recklessn ess that would make even a wealthy Chi cago packer or a Pittsburg steel mag nate dizzy.
 As for gambling Berlin at pres ent is probably the widest open city in the world. Men and women play for stakes of thousands of marks, and seem to get little thrill over winning g or losing.
 The whole spirit of this pleasure mad crowd is one of forced gayety. There is none of the sparkle to it that one experiences among the French. It is simply a sort of stunned let down, a case of saying virtually, Well, the game has been played out; we've lost. and what do we care now ?'' It constitutes Q moral relaxation that has in it the essence of national breakdown provided the present re- gime continues.
 Berlin doesn't care. That's the an swer with thousands who have money and thousands who have little.

 MAKING FINAL.
 TROOP VOYAGE

New York, Aug. 13.-The Liviath- an, the giant transport, after carry ing over to France and back thous-5 ands of American soldiers, left the harbor today on her last trip as Q troopship. She is bound for a port in England and will then proceed to France.
 As a climax to her war work, when the Leviathan returns she will bring the commander-in-chie of the sol- diers she took over, Gen. Pershing. On this trip she will also carry a part of the 1st Division. It Is ex-I pected that she will return with Gen. Pershing and these veterans about September 3.
 Then the Leviathan will be put into dry dock, and renovated for commercial use again, but it has not been definitely decided yet whether she will be given over to her former owners or if the navy will continue to use her.
 The transport Imperator will leave soon on her last trip as a troopship. It is not known yet If the giant ship will finally be given to Great Britain or the United States.
 The fact that the Leviathan is to bring back the 1st Division makes 1t appear that the 3rd Division, which has been at Brest some time, is al- ready bound for home in one of the other ships.
