IS CAUSE
 OF TROUBLE ON
 LONDON STAGES

London, Nov. 3.-(By The Asso- ciated Press. )-Theatre- -goers in Lon don are demanding that the war re- striction prohibiting the sale of candy after s o'clock in the evening be withdrawn and have involved them- selves in controversy with some of the actors. The actors do not want candy sold in theatres and they wish the serving of tea and coffee could be eliminated during the perform ance.
 After the first act of a matinee nearly everyone who does go to the bar, has tea. By the end of the second act the bar is closed by war restriction and nearly everyone who did not have the tea after the first act has 1t then. The same sit uation obtains at the evening per formance except that the excuse for numerous maids edg3ng their way be- tween rows of spectators with trays is coffee not tea.
 Actors aver that many a quiet sit uation is ruined by someone dropping a spoon into a tea cup or dropping the cup itself. Before the candy re- stricton went into effect the actors were further irritated by the noise caused by crumpling of paper in WHICH the canCy IS wrapped. They say they could not hope to destroy the aged tea and coffee habit but hope their protests against candy may result in it's total banish.. nent.
 But the crumpling of little bits ot paper doesn't really hurt a show does it?" an actor was asked
 Some night during a, quiet situa" ton just take your mind off the piece for a moment and listen to the con. fusion caused by candy one way or another" he said, adding that's my answer

FRENCHMEN WERE CARRYING AWAY
 YANKS' S'LUXURIES

"Ah-h! He eez ze Sherlock three of four gentlemen of Parisian origin said when c. w. Cameron, keeper of the Knights of Columbus store-room in Paris, prodded their inglorious trousers and found them well-belted with cigarettes and chew ing tobacco intended for American doughboys
 The men had been engaged as helpers during rush hours at the K warehouse, from which seventy tons of material wore distributed all over France daily, during rusn weeks They had lacked many little luxuries m France, and, quite naturally, their eyes Watered when they saw the i'm mense quantities of creature com forts in the K-C warehouse Wisely, Cameron had arranged for them to receive a few of the luxuries: but their Gallic souls yearned for more, and the yearning was a little too strong for their scrupIes.
 One day Cameron found these gen. Iemen on the threshold of the ware house, ready to depart from a day of hard although not too honest toll. for he had observed that they had increased in girth since their arrival in the morning, and their noonday meal had been frugal war bread. cheese and win blanc. He prodded the stout2st of the group and found to- bacco. He also provoked an emotion al crisis. There were loud protesta- tions of innocence, heated assevera- tiOns of penitence. But Cameron was there. to see that the doughboys got the goods. The Parisians were reIiev- ed of their excess baggage, although their offensa Was excused on account of eXtenuating circumstances.

POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1919-08-07
The Salvation Army

Al man may be down but he's
never out is a slogan used by
the Salvation Army. There Is
a volume of truth in these few
words and the Salvation Army
has faithfully and successfully
adhered to this belief during the
past thirty-six years.
The Salvation Army has proven
itself to be vital social force in
the life Of our country; but its
leaders know it can do better
work If relieved from the ne
ccssitv Of daily begging. Its
work In the slums, among the
unhappy, uncared for, ignorant
people has gained for it that
niche in the American record Of
great achievement which enti-
ties it to the strong financial en-
enlargement Of every man, won.
an and child in the country.
The Salvation Army. which for
years has conducted rescue work
in saloon districts. does not ex-
pect to find its field narrowed as
result of the closing Of the
bars. Its work now will be con-
structive. II intends to rent
some Of the places which will be-
come vacant and try to carry out
a program which will take the
place of the saloon in the social
life Of men.
The Salvation Army has built
hospitals for girls who have
made mistakes and in this way
as well as in many other ways
done an enormous amount Of
good. In short it is an organiza-
ton that is worthy Of the sup
port Of any man and woman.
A Home Service Campaign is
being conducted from August 10
to Is during which time anyone
may have an opportunity to do
nate toward it's support and put
it on q more permanent financial
basis.
just ask any doughboy how he
likes the Salvation Army.

Los Angeles, Aug. 4.-Revenge for

He dropped something, leaped into

An explosion followed amost imme.

A thorough investigation by city,

led to the belief that the bomb was
placed between two five-gallon cans
filed with gasoline, or some other
highly infiammable liquid. Experts
found fragments Of the bomb sufficient
to reconstruct It, They said 1t had
been made of piece of iron pipe
about 10 inches high and six inches in
diameter. Two discs of metal had
been placed as ends, apparently held
IN place by two bolts passing through
both ends and the pipe itself They
also found the two tive-gallon cans
that had contained liquid.

Negroes Stirring

The League of Nations is now
occupying the stage but after
that is settled it is probable that
the Negro question viii be the
one big problem to solve in the
United States. AT least there
were good signs Of it coming to
the front in Chicago. recently.
Race riots are certainly danger
Gus and if they can gain any
Roadway in a city the size Of
Chicago what might not be ex-
pected in smaller places! The
Negroes are here and they are
undoubtedly here to stay. The
great mistake which probably
everybody realizes now--was
made when our forcfathers origi-
nally brought them over from
Africa. But that is history now
and the mistake has been made
they are here. The Negroes
constitute about 10 per cent Of
our population and to ship those
millions back to their native
land would be impossible. How
about setting off two or three
states for them, say Texas ant
Florida?

INCREASE IS EXPECTED
Presidents Request That Congress
Create Commission to Consider
Wage Increases Favorably Re-

Chicago, Aug. 4.-More than
100000 railway shopmen Of the
country are idle az result Of the
strike called by the Federated
Railway shopmen's union, leaders
Of the organization said, with the
strike spreading and no indica-
ton Of an immediate settlement
In sight.
Chicago, Aug. 2.-President Wilson's
request that congress create a com.
mission to consider wage increases for
railway employees was favorably re-
ceived here by officers of the Chicago
district council OF the Federated Shop
mems Union, which called a nation
wide strike Of railway shop workers.
Press dispatches stated that the Presi.
dent had suggested that any proper
wage increase be made retroactive to
August. 1919, and the local shipments
leaders declared that on that point
they would remain firm for retroaction
to January 1, 1919.
Advice OF Officials Unheeded.
The shopmen's strike. according to
reports, was chiefly effective in the
Middle West and Southeast and in the
latter section alone $4,000 men had
laid down their tools, according to
union advices. All over the country
and especially in the Middle West
union locals were voting on the strike
proposal. A big increase In the num-
Der OF men on strike Is expected by
union officials.
The local unions had disregarded
the advice Of their international Off.
cials at Washington, who have been
comforting with the Railroad admins
tration, and who instructed the men
not to strike. The request for in.
creased wages from SO to IS cents an
hour for machinists and from 46 to go
an hour for helpers, was made the
first OF the current year, the union
men said.
