London, Jan. 30.-The general
strikes throughout Great Britain ant
Ireland are bolshevistic, British labor
leaders declared today. They said the
strikers are under the direction of 10
cal boards organized like sovicts, which
are openly opposed to the authorized
heads Of the National Federation Of
Trades Unions. 1t was further charg
ed that the strikes are being partially
financed by the Russian bolsheviki.
tThe strikes are the result of agita
tion by shop stewards who are Eng
glish bolsheviks. Frank Smith, ma
tional secretary of the Federation Of
Eng neers and Shipbuilders, told the
United Press today
They are under the direction Of local
boards which are organized like soviets
and are in open opposition to the auth

that these 'shop stewards are receiv

shop steward or soviet movement, and
draw up definite program. The shoT
stewards recently sent seven agitators

erupting. 1t is believed certain they
caused the present upheavals.

must be primarily from the point Of
view of the housewife. Consequently.

that it can be Just as profitable to own
well-kept properties as it is to own

Utopian building scheme. It has sim

that if he is to work to his best ca

Industrial housing is a comparative

an old one in England. and In many
ways it has been adequately solved.

head. This place was not for her.
She had been tried in the balance and
found wanting. She wondered IL there
were anywhere a balance that she
could bring down.
She dreaded the forlorn journey

the dull street and his hand clasped
hers with saving strength. It lifted
her from the depths like rope let
down from the sky.
Daphne would have been more con-
tent if Duane had been Clay Wimburn.
1t was Clay's duty to be there at such
time, of all times.
OF course he did not know that this
night was to be crucial for her, but
he should have known. uane

that Reben had warned Duane of the

All she knew was that Duane was
proffering homage and smiles and the
prefaces Of courtship. Daphne might
have failed>tO gain the hearts Of her
audience, for all her toll, but here was
a heart that was hers without effort.
Perhaps Duane was her career. He
was at least an audience that she could

tribute of submission.

CHAPTER XII.

All this while Daphne was kept in
readiness to take Miss Kemble's part
in case the illness of her child should
result in death and in the further case
that she should be unable so finish her
performances. With the theatrical
season In such bad estate and most of
Reben's companies and theaters losing
money heavily, Sheila Kemble was his
one certain dependence. He called
her his breadwinner.
Miss Kemble's baby passed the cri-
sis and recovered. And then the
mother, worn out with the double
strain. caught little chill that became
binding, choking cold. She went
through the Saturday matinee in a
whisper, but the night performance
was beyond her.
And now at last Daphne's chance ar
rived. The Saturday night house was
enormous In spite of the heat. There
were enough people there to make
fourteen hundred dollars-twenty-fiv
hundred for the day.
Daphne, trudging to the theater for
her usual stupid rebuff, walked into
this crisis of her life.
Reben himself knocked at her dress
ing room door where Miss WinsOr was
helping her with her makeup. He
implored her to be calm, and he was so
tremulOus that he suffered. He told
her that If she made good he would let
her play the part till Miss Kemble
got well. He would pay her a hand
some bonus. He would put her out
at the head OF a number two company
next season.
Patterson came at last and ordered
him off the stage. Reben obeyed him.
Then PATTERSON talked to her. He told
her that there was no reason to fear
the house. A Saturday night audience
was always easy. It wanted its mon
ey's worth! It would help to get it.
Il see," said Daphne. "Tm not
afraid Of the audience"
'Then what on earth are you afraid
'I'm afraid Of mer'
Patterson laughed scOrnfully. "Oh,
you'll You're going to score a knock
out, You're going to make big hit r.
"Yes," said Daphne, $50 you've al
ways told me.'
The curtain rose. Miss Winsor and
the young man skipped onto their
job; the butler stalked Eldon entered
and made his exit Mrs. Vining spread
her skirts and sailed on. then Eldon
went back. Finally Daphne's cue
came.
She was startled little as Batter
son nudged her forward. She went to
the door and opened it on her new
career to make her public debut with
the all-important "How d. you DOR
She saw before her the drawing room
in weird light. Beyond it was a
tiercely radiant fog and beyond that
an agglomeration Of faces-the mass
Of tomato cans that she was not going

And she was not afraid. She was
curious TO study them. She was eager

membered them. Then cues came more
or less far apart and each evoked from
her mind the appropriate answer. She
made never slip, and yet she began

TO PROTECT THE SOLDIER

Washington, Jan 24.-To solve
the problem Of unemployed diHcharg.
cd soldiers. the War Department has
ordered that no man be discharged
from the army against his desire until
such time as he can obtain employ
ment In civil life
II was announced today that orders
had been telegraphed to all depart
ment and division commanders, at
Secretary Bakers direction. to retain
all men who desired to remain tenn
porarily in the service without preju-
dice to their subsequent discharge to
take employment. The order fol
lows.
"All commanding officers will take
steps TO insure that every enlisted
man IN their command understands
thoroughly that the War Department
does not desire to discharge any sol.
dier who cannot secure civil employ
ment It will be made clear TO every
soldier that where he would normally
be discharged under orders for de-
mobilization, he may remain temper
arily in the military service at his
as he can secure employment The fact
as can secure employment The fact
that he requests 10 remain in the
army temporarily does not In any way
operate to compel him to remain in
rhe army for long period of time
against his will Any man who
would normally have been discharged
II he had not expressed his desire in
writing to remain in the service, may
thereafter he discharged from the
service at his own request whenever
he thinks he NAV secure employment.
All such men as are retained temper.
arily under the above authority will
be attached TO the most convenient
unit and where their services will be
most useful"
In connection with this policy,
adopted after orders ~sre issued last
week for demGbiIization OF the combat
divisions in the United States, II was
said that action 10 prevent large
proportion of these men from facing
unemployment was taken not only to
protect the soldier individually but
because Of its effect upon employment
conditions throughout the country
Another aspect of the new policy is
that the families of married soldiers
will continue to draw their allotments
from the Government during this
temporary service For the time be
