OVER SIX MILLION OUT
Of WORK IN EN- GLAND

London, Dec. l7.-Unemployment in
Great Britain. which has been steadily
growing, has.-created Il serious prob
lem, which during the last few days
has become more urgent owing to
the advent of severe weather.
There is general anxiety over the
situation as nearly every trade in
the country is affected. Unemploy-
ment is common among clerks ana
middle-class occupations, as well as
among manual laborers and official
statistics show that about 100000 are
without occupation at present. 1t is
admitted, however, that this is far
below the real figure, as there are
many without work who have not
been reached by state or other or
ganiza.ions.
Labor circles declare the actual
number of men out cf employment
is fully 100000. Upon a majority
Of these there are dependents and
the total number of persons suffer
ing from the present conditions is
placed at from 100000 TO 100000
a large proportion being former SOL
diers.
There Is a general tendency on the
part OF the trade unions and local
authorities TO rely upon the govern
Inent TO solve the problem.
The government is asked to pag
each man 40 shillings per week and
each woman IS shilings. with addi-
tional allowances for dependents. This

BurgOmaster of Doom
Passes up the Kaiser
Burgomaster Sets Example for the
Village of Doom by Ignoring
the German Kaiser.

Doom, Holland The burgomeister
of Doom has set an example for the
village by having as little as possible
to do with the former German Emperor
William. Unlike Amerongen, where
both the burgomeister and town secre-
tary were quite proud to be guests at
Williams table, the village authori-
ties here have taken the attitude that
it would be better for all concerned
if they did not visit the, House Of
Doom. The same can also be said
now of the burgomeister of Wierengen
and the former Crown Prince Freder-
lex. The former burgomeister there,
j. Pereboom, was an intimate friend
Of Frederick, bit his successor, Herr
Slot, is said to consider the Crown
Princes presence there as somewhat
of a nuisance.

BURNING DUMP
FIREMEN BUSY
Flames in the City Dump
at Foot of Park Street
Menace Property.
FIREMEN ON GUARD

The city fire department was called
out on Monday evening and again this
morning to fight a fire which ragged
merrily in the city dump at the foot
OF Park street and for time it was
feared that the big plant of Simmons
company was in danger on account of
the FIRE. The blaze was caused by
spontaneous combustion and for hours
the blaze rose to height of thirty
feet and a blanket of smoke was
thrown over a large portion of the
city while people in the immediate
neighborhood of the dumping place
were forced to close doors and win
dows tight on account of the stencil
which came from the blazing piles of
garbage. The fire broke out at the
dump just after six o'clock on Monday
evening and the department was call
ed. A line of hose was laid and after
an hours work the blaze was under
control but the line of hose was left
during the entire night. Early this
morning the department was called
again and the fire had new start.
Hot Cinders May Have HELPED.
1t was declared that the fire was not
entirely due to the spontaneous COM
bustion but that hot cinders which
had been placed on a pile of excelsior
and pine boxes on the dump helped
considerably. The fire department
this morning was seeking to find the
cause of the fire with a view of having
better protection given to the dump
IN the future. The fire was still
smouldering this afternoon and mem
bers Of the department. were on hand.
1t was said that there was little dan
ger of the fire spreading to buildings
in the neighborhood and that the main
danger was from sparks. At one time
the sparks from the blazing dunn
were carried over onto Exchange
street and buildings there we're ir
danger.
The third fire call in twelve hour,
came this morning when a false alarm
called the fremen to St. Catherine's
hospital.

charges of rooms will be popular prices.
"The citizens Of Kenosha should feel
very proud that this hotel is now as
sured to- them. 1t is as permanent as
the Elks' club or the Federal post office
building and will continue for many
years to be the principal point around
which the social, commercial and civic
interests will radiate. It also repre-
sents the. first movement of recent
years in Kenosha tending towards a
greater and more cosmopolitan city.

was issued from the city Offices to-
day in connection with the winter col
lection of garbage ct can't be done"
declared Commissioner of Public
Works Hurtgen this morning. "The
men can not make the rounds of the
city if they are forced to spend a half
an hour at each place getting frozen
garbage out of cans. Now if the people
will just drain the garbage and wrap
it in paper it will be easy for the men
to handle it. We are going to keep
the work going just as well as we can
but the people must help if we are
