the Lincoln highway in 1913, have been active in promoting plans for it's beau tification.
 'It is considered most appropriate that each state through which the Lin coin highway passes arrange for the planting of Victory" trees for the sol diers and sailors of the community who have died in the service of their country. It is conceded that the motor truck and motor car have played mighty part in the winning of the war, and that the Lincoln highway stands first in the minds of the people as the medium of their use in through, con- nected transportation. For these rea- sons the planting of memorial trees along the Lincoln highway is particu- larly favored.
 It is pointed out by the American Forestry association that wood has played a big part in the victorious achievements of our forces overseas and that attention must be given to the replenishment of our wood stock With each Lincoln highway state co-operat- ing with the highway authorities, a liv- ing lesson could be taught to coming generations as to the beauties and value of forestry"

Brave and unxleIdina Freedom.

The liberty which our fathers plant ed, and for which they sturdily con tended, and under which they grandly conquered, is a rational and temperate, but brave and unyielding, freedom; the august mother of institutions; the hardy nurse of enterprise; the sworn ally of justice and order; q liberty that lifts her awful and rebuking face equally upon the towards who would sell, and the braggarts who would per vert, her precious gifts of rights and obligations. Edwin P. Whipple.

 That serpents are less mute than we think is shown by ". H. Hudson in his reminiscent volume of naturalist ex- plorations in the Argentine pampas. He specifies the Philodryas oestivus- q beautiful and harmless eolubrine snake, 215 to feet long, marked all over with inky black on a vivid green ground-and states that it not only emitted a sound when lying undis- turbed in it's den. but several individu- als would hold together a conversa- ton that seemed endless. It was a hissing conversation, though not un- modulated or without considerable va riety. "A long sibilatiOn would be followed by distinctly heard ticking sounds, as of husky-ticking clock, and after 10 or 20 or 30 ticks, another hiss. like a long-expiring sigh, some times with a tremble in it, as of dry leaf vibrating in the wind. No sooner would one cease than another would begin; and so it would go on, demand and response, strophe and anti strophe; and at intervals several voices would unite in kind of long mysterious chorus, death-watch or hiss"

First contraband of War.

During the war between Spain and Holland- in the latter part of the six teenth century and early in the seven tenth century both those powers acted with so much rigor toward ships of ev- cry other nationality conveying goods to belligerents that England felt com pelled to enter strong protest. The resistance provoked by England led to the first use of the term "contraband of war when the treaty of Southamp- ton was drawn up between England and Spain in 1925

BOLSHEVISM IS
 BEATEN BY BERRY
Radical Union of Chicago Loses Court Case Against Printing
 Pressmen's Union. ~

The district court of the United States for the Northeastern division of the Eastern district of Tennessee ren- dered a decision in favor of the board of directors of the International Print ing Presmen and Assistants Union in the case of Chicago Pressmen's Union No. } vs. the International board of directors.
 The court, in it's ruling, denied. ap- plication for receiver of the Ipterna- tional Union, denies Tne removal of officers, grants board authority to es- tablish charters in any city where unions have not paid per capita tax for three months, denies and dismisses all allega- tions and attacks against the board of directors and all proposals by the In- ternational board of directors are ac- cepted by the court.
 The court, in these rulings. has given the International board of directors a complete victory.
 It was contended by officers of the International Printing Pressmen and Assistants Union that the above court procedure was brought about by the Bolshevik element of the International Union, and the above conflict was originated when by a referendum vote one days pay assessment and 25 cents extra per capita tax was levied.

to properly care for the public servant in manner beftting the greatness of the tasks imposed upon him.
 The bill having the best chance of passage in congress at the this time li ovides for the retirement of the gov ernment employees at 65 years of age if they are unable longer to perform the duties of the positions to which they are assigned. President Wilson allow ed himself to be quoted before the war broke out as in favor of the principle of providing for the aged and disabled worker for Uncle Sam, but while the war lasted he could not see his way clear to urge the enactment of 1egisla- ton along these lines.
 Now that the war is a memory and the added obligation of the government to the men in the civil service has vast ly increased, there is naturally expected to be an early passage of the desi i,e". retirement bills as an appreciation of the work dcne and the strains cultured while the nation was undergoing a crisis.

Autocracy OF Steel Trust
 Forces Nation Wide Strike

Pittsburgh, Pa., Sept. 26.-The re- fusal of Judge Gary, chairman of the board of directors of the United States Steel corporation (the trust), to grant a conference to representative of his employees has precipitated a strike that Is almost nationwide and directly involves half million work ers Within 36 hours after the strike was called the United States senate unanimously passed resolution to in vestigate the strike and summonses were immediately forwarded to Judge Gary and John Fitzpatrick chairman of the national committee, to organize the iron and steel workers.
 For fl1e past year score of national and international unions, acting through this committee, have conducted an or ganizing campaign in the iron and steel industry The unionists have been re- sisted by the we1l-known tactics of the trust but despite a denial of the right of free speech, free assemb1age, and other guarantees, the workers have f1ocked to the unions. Recently the committee made formal request to the trust for a conference, that wages and working conditions might be discussed
 Judge Gary declined the request on the ground that the committee did not represent his employees. Later the judge issued a long statement on the beauties of "the open shop" which, he said, his corporation Is committed to The number of men who have respond ed to the strike ca1l however, seems to have blocked the trusts plan to make the fight of its choosing the so-

THE PALACE.

''Evange1ine," greatest favorite among Henry w. Longfellow's poems, a story noted for its pathetic sweetness and appealing beauty has been given film visua1ization by the Fox producers and will be presented in one of it's first showings to the American public at the Palace on Sunday evening and also Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
 This story of the once happy and beautiful Arcadia, turned to land of deso1ation and sadness by the cruelty of royal decree which ordered the de- portation of its inhabitants to all parts of the world, is perhaps the saddest passage in the history of the New World and one of the greatest b1ots in the history of the doctrine of rule by divine right.
 With "Evangeline" heading the spe- cial picture and musical program for Sunday evening an extra added feature will also be shown. This is "A Wom- ans Honor," with that very talented and popular star H. B. Warner appear ing in the leading role This picture will give wonderfully strong support to the main feature as it is really produc- ton that has the strength of special

called "open" and against the union shop, which the trust calls "closed" shop.
 Many subsidiaries of the trust have closed their plants, although the man agers are issuing statements as hopeful as those of General Ludendorff during the closing months of the great war.
 Officials of the American Sheet and Tin Plate company at Gary, Ind. claim thev are satisfied with conditions, but the strikers point to the north star which is visible for the first time since the plant was established It is the first time the northern heavens failed to reflect the bright red glow of the blast furnace, which obstructed the view of the stars.
 In western Pennsylvania, where the state cossacks have free hand to dis perse free assemb1age, rioting is com mon and many strikers have keen killed and injured. Mayor Lysle of McKees- port, has denounced the strike as "un- American" This official has consistent ly opposed every attempt of trade union ists i'll that city to hold public meet ings. In western Pennsylvania the strikers claim unexpected responses to the cali, and steel officials now find that the thousands of foreigners whom they depended upon, and who were brought to this country for that purpose, have joined hands with the strikers. With an ingratitude that is typical of cer- tain large employing interests, the steel employers ignore the years of labor at debasing conditions by these aliens and the public is now told that "on1y foreign trs" are on strike.

THE HYPERION.

Following the really tremendous suc- cess scored by the Hyperion Players i'll "The Naughty Wife" they will revert next week to "Jim's Girl" play which comes here hcra1ded by Conan and Harris who have the producing rights, as an even better play than The Five Million" which is now enjoying big run in New York. Both plays are along the same lines and deal with incidents over here and over there during the world war but it is not in a strict sense war play for war plays are taboo and the Hyperion proposes to keep to it's known New York critic has apt1y de- scribed "Jim's Gir1' as a play beauti- fully simple ard simply beautiful. It has no problem to puzzle nor question to answer nevertheless it abounds with situations, climaxes and developments that hold the audience throughout it's presentation and any play that can do that in these days of remarkable dra- matiC offerings must have merit out of the. ordinary The authors are Ward Carroll and Thomas J. Gray and if ones past performances are to be taken as criterion 'Jim's GirP may be safe 1y said to be one of the seasons biggest hits. "Jim's Girl" by way of explana- ton is Yvonne little French girl with whom Jim fell in love while he was a private in the Rainbow Division lover there" Embarking orders for America made no provision for Yvonne for while Jim was ready and willing and anxious to make the girl his wife there was so much red tape to be unrave1led before he could marry her that the first thing he knew the ship sailed and Jim went 1t alone. Urbeknown to Jim but aided and abetted by Jim's buddy, Eddie Fry Yvonne makes the trip as a stowaway, Jim only fndig it out ear the end of the voyage. With Jim's discovery of her comes the sad news that she is to be deported, but she makes her escape finally finding her way to Jim's home where events happen quickly cu1minat ing in happy manner. During the process Eddie also gets a wife; Jim gets a decoration, his mother gets the long end of business deal and the audience gets about two hours and half of as good wholesome entertain ment as could be had anywhere at any price. Mr. Van Buren will naturally have the role of Jim" and Lola May that of "Yvonne" with that brilliant support of the all star company wit such favorites as Ad1aide Hibbard Eric Williams.
