known to have been on four ships
which are missing.
In addition to the many ships
sinking or in distress, floods have
caused great damage in Holland,
Belgium and Germany, where river
dykes were swept aside by rapidly
rising flood waters. Antwerp's 300,-
900 population is in danger. The
floods have cut off all drinking
water from the city. The Scheldt
river dykes have been broken and
many houses wrecked by the in
coming water.
Floods in Holland
Floods threaten to add to the
death toll in Holland where portions
of Rotterdam and Dodrecht have
been flooded by the breaking of
dykes. Officials are of the opinion
that the floods already have cost a
large number of lives.
Amsterdam reported four ships in
distress in addition to a number of
large and small vessels which have
been rescued. The Isle of Marker is
under water and the coast is strewn
with wreckage of life boats and
small fishing craft.
The dykes also have been broken
at the Island of Sylt, one of the
north Tristan Islands, and rising
rivers in Germany have caused con-
siderable damage through the west
ern areas.
Damage in Belgium
Shops are closed at Ostend, Bel
GUM, and damage is reported
throughout Belgium due to the
rapidly rising waters of the Scheldt
and Dyle rivers. Engineers have
been sent to the scene of the worst
damage with large attachments of
workers in an attempt to halt
further disaster.
England, which felt the first fury
of the storm, was only partly spared
today as the death toll was in
creased steadily by new advices
from various parts of the island
Floods in Wales and in Scotland
have caused several deaths and great
damage.
Many Seamen in Peril
Everywhere the storm struck
communications and transportation
service were halted or greatly
damaged.
The number of ships destroyed OF
crippled is problematical but un-
doubtedly great. Literally scores OF
distress calls have been sent out
many of them in such rapid sue
cession that they could not be an
swered Immediately. The men who
live by the sea have worked tire
lessly but against great handicaps
as the storm continued to lash the
open waters into high forbidding
waves.

BELGRADE, Nov. 26 (UP).-Un-

Ivan Michaioff, Macedonian rebel
leader, was concentrating forces in
Petrich, GOrina and Dupnica in
preparation for a campaign against
Bulgarian government troops. The
same reports said the government
was concentrating troops in Sofia,
capital of Bulgaria. Other, and also
uncOnfirmed, rumors said numerous
citizens of Sofia, especially Jews,
we're preparing to evacuate because
of fear of disorders.
SOFIA, Bulgaria, Nov. 26.-Of-
ficials of the Bulgarian government
are today endeavoring to conceal
the situation in which their party
finds itself by discrediting reports of
Macedonian outbreaks which threat
ened the capital three days ago.
Nevertheless, the movement of
the Bulgarian forces under Ivan
Michailoff was, at that time, of
sufficient danger to cause sections
of the army to be rushed to defense
of Sofia.
Feared Peasant Outbreak.
The situation was also felt to be
of such gravity by Foreign Minis
ter Buroff that he issued an appeal
to the United States to intervene
and save the country from pea
SAINT revolution.
Today the government, besides
spreading reports that there are no
Macedonian forces threatening the
capital, is issuing ultimatums to
Michailoff demanding that he sur

Turnout India

LONDON, Nov. 26.-Six thou
sand workers in the textile mills in
Bombay struck today following the
failure of the mill owners to live
up to agreements signed only a
week previous. The mill owners had
arbitrarily reduced wages despite
the agreements.
Alarmed by the prospect of
another strike of the duration and
tenacity of the last walk-out, which
continued uninterrupted for six
months, the mill owners Immediately
asked aid from the authorities. The
provocative tactics, which the police
have persisted in using, and which
lthe officials have connived at, in
every strike in this country were in
full effect today.
Numerous attacks by foremen
and officers upon the strikers were
reported shortly after the walk-out.
The strike is expected to have
tremendous repercussion through
out India and violent retaliatory
measures may be expected from the
government, which is already
alarmed by the growth of discon-
tent among the masses of workers
and peasants in all parts of the
country.
A hartal, or general passive, boy
colt, of the Simon Commission
which is in India for the professed
purpose of investigating the gov
eminent, is in progress throughout

BOMBAY, India, Nov. &c (UP).
Six thousand mill hands went on
strike again today after having been
at work only week after the prev
ious strike was settled. The work
ers claimed their pay had been re-
duced.
Numerous instances of disputes
and sudden outbreaks of violence in
dicated the unsettled state of the
workers, although the previous
strike lasting six months had just
been settled.

Not only are they holding back
the workers from decisive action,
but they are openly seen as assist
ants to the bosses in forcing the

and have a meeting with their

stepped in, called a meeting and
obligingly saw to it that no more
than resolution declaring that the
workers are not in favor of the
wage cut was passed. At a time
when workers are waiting for the
word to come out in struggle, these
misleaders are hired to head off any
demand to fight that may be
brought up.
Philadelphia Takers.
Direct aid to the general wage
reduction drive by the manufactur-
ers of textiles was also given by
the United Textile Workers Union.

ers' branch is quietly negotiating

tees of these confabs openly de-
clare that the purpose is to lower
the scale of prices for silk stock
ings so that they are more level
with the prices paid to knitters in
the southern plants and the north
ern non-union factories. From $1.24
dozen hose, the bosses propose to
cut "a cents.
Meanwhile the National Textile
Workers Union, which brilliantly
led the six-month New Bedford
strike, is marshalling it's forces to
lead a new anti-wage-cut struggle
in New England. Organizers are
being sent into the affected dis
tricts. From their national head
quarters in New York statement
was issued denouncing in the most
vigorous terms the newly announced
wage cuts.
Union Statement.
The statement issued by Albert
Weisbord, secretary-treasurer de-
clares:
"All indications point to the fact
that the textile workers in Rhode
Island will put up fight against
the new wage cuts that the employ
ers are handing out as Thanksgiv-
ing presents. The National Textile
Workers Union is already In the
field and is mobilizing its forces to
stiffen the resistance of the work
ers and to fight to the finish against
wage cuts. 1t will be recalled that
the National Textile Workers
Union was the organization that put
up such a splendid battle in New
Bedford and forced William Butler
and others to reduce their wage cuts
10 per cent after a six-months'
fight. The National Textile Work
ers' Union is now in better posi-
ton than ever before to continue
the struggle against wage cuts and
to insure the textile workers of
New England somewhere near a de-
cent standard of living.
"Organizers of the National
Union have been sent out, and full
preparations have been made to
give battle if the wage cuts go into
effect"

Episode, 194Ol


NEVEN minutes past 10 p. m. the
y radio detector went out of gear
1t used to indicate, with all accu-
racy of 5 kilometers, the location
and the movements of the enemy
airplanes. Two men sat in front
of the radio detector on the thir-
tieth story of the forty-story mill
tary tower, mechanic and a tele-
phone operator. The mechanic,
watching the various arrows and
hands On the face of the detector,
drew with a colored pencil the
course of the airplanes on large
map where squares were indicated
by two letters each. The telephone
operator transmitted the letters to
the base of the anti-aircraft To-
Gated near the river and to the CEN
trail airdrome, twelve miles away
from the center. Air machines with
noiseless engines were ready at the
airdrome. Information thus OBJ
tanned served as a basis for mea-
sures undertaken against the enc
my's aircraft.
Seven minutes past 10 the me-
chanic noticed that something was
wrong with the radio detector. First
the indicators began to jump. The
apparatus showed an airship six
hundred miles to the east of the
city; in couple of minutes it
showed an airship two hundred
miles to the north. That it was
the same ship was obvious from
the specific quality of the radio
wave. Soon the various indicators
on the face of the apparatus began
a mad dance that the eye could not
follow. The telephone operator in
formed first the airdrome, second
military headquarters, located or
the fifth floor of the same building
Headquarters replied that other sta
tons were also reporting strange
happenings. The order was tc
await advice from the central radio
bureau.
And so the mechanic and the tele-
phone operator remained seated in
front of the large aluminium plate
with it's various hands, celluloid
windows and tubes. And it was SO
unusual in the midst of strenuous
work, when the enemy was so near,
to see reliable apparatus on which
so many hopes had been placed sud-
denly become insane. Was it pos
sible that the enemy had found a
key to this invention, too?
TEN minutes before IL a tremor
passed through the room, as if
every atom of the apparatus were
shaken in delirium. The mechanic
and the telephone operator kept on
calling headquarters, but only a
medley of indistinct voices came in
reply At a quarter past II the
report of an explosion was heard
and the two men had the impress
sion as if a cutting wind struck
their faces. At the very same mo-
ment the lights went out.
The two men dressed in military
uniforms took their flashlights out
of their pockets and looked around
The radio detector was dead. All
the hands and arrows and wheels
were motionless. The white light
behind the round celluloid windows
had disappeared.
For a short while the men were
silent. Everything was unusual
They had an impulse to go, but
military discipline was in the way
The mechanic said:
Something is happening out
there"
The telephone operator replied:
"It won't be long before we know
what's what"
Whereupon the mechanic said:
