King Albert took occasion to make p

An interesting interlude at Wash

the king and queen of the Belgians.
Albert was given an enthusiastic well

before both the senate and the house

royal couple called informally at the

Uniformity

Uniformity is the secret Of
success of any good product
It's the reason Willard
Batteries with threaded Rub
Der Insulation are making
such a wonderful record Of
long life without repairs.
Ordinary materials used
for insulation between bat
terry plates are taken just as
they come from nature and
can't be made uniform by
any process.
But threaded Rubber In
sulation is built up by a
scientific manufacture. Every
piece of it is like every other
and almost invariably
Threaded Rubber lasts as
long as battery plates.
No wonder many of these
batteries have given three
and four years of uninter-
rupted good service.

story.

The international congress of work
ing women also opened in Washington
with 40 delegates present and Mrs.
Raymond Robins presiding. The wom-
en- made it plain at the outset that
they were not seeking any special
privileges for their sex in industry, but
that they demand full share In any
plans for their protection that men
may consider.

President Wilson stirred up a
mighty hullabaloo by his veto of the
dry enforcement act on the ground
that the emergency which called for
wartime prohibition had passed and
that the law should be repealed. For
a few hours the vets were jubilant,
believing that John Barleycorn had
been given a lease of life until consti-
tutional prohibition goes into effect in
January. But the drys quickly got
into action and forced immediate ac-
ton in the house. with the result that
the veto was overridden by a vote Of
176 to 50. A large number of MEM
bers were absent. but postponement
for this reason was refused and, in
deed, If the full membership had been
present the result doubtless would
have been the same. Next day the
senate also passed the bill over the
presidents veto. the vote being 65 to
%.
The act became effective at once
and the country became bone dry
until the treaty with Germany is rati-
fed As 500 as that action is taken
by the senate. according to a state
uent from the White House, the pres
Ident viii lift the ban. This aroused
both the Anti-Sal0On league and the
mOr rabid opponents Of the treaty.
The leaders OF the former declared
they would maintain the contention
thar the ban could not be removed IN
XII the treaty with Austria and Hun
gary had been ratified. The latter at
tackled the motives Of the president
and said he had delayed lifting the
ban to force the senate TO ratify the
treaty. The liquor men found some
consolation in a decision by a federal
judge at Louisville that the wartime
law is invalid and that the government
could not seize liquor in storage with
out paying for it. But the revenue
agents went right ahead sealing up all
the stocks of liquor they could find
and they found most Of them.

No one on either side Of the treaty
fight in the senate would admit that
the promise of a wet spell in the least
affected the contest, but there was evi-
dent a disposition to get through with
the matter speedily. The rejection Of
all amendments cleared the way for
the consideration of the reservations,
and it was predicted that the same
conservative Republicans who voted
with the Democrats against the
amendments would compel the adop-
ton of milder reservations than those
reported by the committee on foreign
relations. 1t will then be up to the
administration supporters to accept
these or stand responsible for the ON
plete failure to ratify the treaty.

Another plan of the government was
to obtain from Federal Judge Ander-
son at Indianapolis a sweeping injunc-
ton against the miners organization
and SO national and local officers. for
bidding the encouraging Of the strike

and prohibiting the use of the organi-
zation's funds for the promotion Of

The mine operators promised the
government their unreserved cooper
alton in its efforts to keep the mines
open. Confidential reports from gov
eminent agents had led to the belief
that a large number of the union
miners would not strike and, in addi-
ton, it was estimated that the ION
union mines could be counted on TO
turn out a considerable quantity Of
coal. Their annual production is about
100000 tons out of a total OF 500
100000 tons. At the best, however.
the production will be tremendously
decreased and If the strike is pro-
longed consumption must be reduced
accordingly. In this process naturally
the u~nessentiaI industries viii be the
worst sufferers and it is easy TO pre-
dict that many thousands Of them viii
be closed down and vast numbers 0f
men and women thrown out Of N
ployment.
President Lewis Of the miners laid
the blame for the situation on the
mine operators and severely criticized
President Wilson who, he said, had
%prejudged the case with only q partial
and inaccurate knowledge of the
facts. The union officials, while as
sorting they could not now stop the
strike. left open n possible door by
saying they were ready and anxious to
meet the operators for the purpose of
negotiating an agreement and bringing
about a settlement.
Later it was said the officials were
ready TO abandon the demand for a
six hour day and five day week and to
modify the demand for a go per cent
increase in wages, if the operators
would curtaiI if o abandon Saturday
work and agree to a moderate wage
increase. At Indianapolis it was as
serted the extreme demands were put
forward to satisfy a large radical ele-
ment that threatened to revolt against
the Lewis regime.

Chairman Volstead of the judiciary

THAT is question I cannot an

to take the matter up with those

That is all that was said on the

of the measure made ready for the
real battle that will begin Monday
when it is taken up for amendment.
Prohibition leaders admitted that
it was doubtful whether a vote
would be reached before Saturday.
There will be a fight in every
line of the printed text they said,
first of which will be over an at
tempt to split the three-part bill so
as to take up separately straight
measure for enforcement of the

Representative Igoe, democrat,
Missouri, startled some of the pro-
hibition advocates by suggesting
that they raise no point of order
against proposal to let the house
vote on an amendment to repeal the
wartime law.
This action had been expected and
half dozen were known to be

Edstrom is not at the station to re-

Until Mr.. Ringer assumed the du-
ties of his Office, it had been the Gus
tom never to allow the police station
to remain without surgeon, who
was ready at moments notice to
respond to emergency calls.
Students Were Faithful.
Creighton university students here,
tofore were stationed at police head
quarters. They remained there in
shifts day and night and were ready
at all times to go with the police
ambulance on drownings or acct
dents of any character. When Mr.
Ringer discontinued this system, he
failed to make the proper provision
to take care of the deficiency. Under
the former system the police ambu-
lance never left the station without
"a physician or medical senior stu
dent on it. Under the present ar
rangement it is the rarest occurrence
that the captain at headquarters is
able to locate a. physician to accom-
pany the ambulance.
The result has been the creation
of much dissatisfaction and unliin-
tied and bitter criticism on the part
Of those who have had to suffer the
consequences.
