BRITISH POLICE ..STRI E' A FAILURE
EFFECT .O • 1 US RUAL- SITUATION
Government Decides On Pella ofIan-Intezference,m-7 amitbe
Done at Liverpool Bas"'bobt:ring kl;lieet on Public.
A despetch frena London says;
'The eomperative faihu'e of the pollee
strike is exercising a salutary fn1lu-
ouce on the general labor situ&tion.
There is now evidence that the strike
Wee promoted ill conunetion 'with the
revolutionary element among the
trade unions to create the widespread
.disorder and anarchy at which the ex-
tremists are curing If police control
We):e generally withdrawn they looked
to having a free hand. Tho damage
done in Liverpool has shown the .pub-
lic what they may expect if revolu-
tionary•forces should get headway,
.and this has had a sobering effect,.
The stoppage of week on the South
London tube, which is only partial, has
been repudiated by the other London
tube employes, and the railwaymen's
-executive committee refused to aline -
tion either that or the engine driver's
-strike on the South-western Railway.
The wording class has been the chief
-sufferers by these stripes, and the
workmen 'feel• bitterly towards the
dn„tigators of them. J, . Thomas, M.
secretary of the Railtyaymen's
Union, eontlernns the strikes in the
strongest terms, Meantime the
strikers are taking to heart the castl
Ngation inflicted upon them by Lord
ttslcivith, who had for year acted
as strike conciliator for the Board
of Trade, for Lloyd George's peisenal
interference in strike troubles' had
always resulted in excessive dentands
beingaccepted, thus offering itjduce-
meat to others to strike, i blas
The Governnwet apparently
decided to refrain from interference
except where public order is involved.
Thus the Yorkshire colliers, who are
still out, expebting Government ape
preaches, are being left severely alone,
and, •St is declared, they are feeling
pretty mad •with their leaders, The
Manchester policemen sent by their
colleagues to Liverpool to. study the
polies situation, reported that the
Liverpool policemen world do any-
thing to .get back their jobs.' But the
Government has deelared Slimily that
no police.1'triker well be taken back
-under any circumstances.. •
AUSTRIA REPLIES
TO PEACE TREATY
, :Prepared to Sian But Thinks
Conditiallg Should Be
Modified.
A despatch from Paris says:—
The Austrian counter proposals to the
Peace terms have been handed to the
Allied Mission at - St. Germain-en-
Laye. The counter -proposals were
brought at once to Paris and delivered
to the 'Supreme Council of the Peace
-Conference.
The Austrian observations on the
treaty were considered in Peace Con-
ference circles to be very temperate
in tone.
The Austrian reply salad the dele-
gation realized Austria's position was
that of a defeated power, but com-
plained that its territory had been
limited in too sweeping •a manner.
Particular objection was offered to
the loss of Southern Bohemia and the
'Tyrol district.
The Austrians state they also be-
lieve they have been greatly over-
-charged, as two-thirds of the debt of
the Austro-Hungarian State is being
loaded upon them. They Say that pro-
portion is too heavy, considering their
small population, and they, are not
sure they can live under such condi-
tions.
A special appeal was made by the
Austrians for an orad discussian of
the treaty, They said they believed
such a discussion would result in a
more cwitplete understanding of the
conditions imposed. '
Although the Austrians indicated,
very clearly their intention of sign-
ing, even if the treaty is not modi-
fied, yet they expressed the hope•
that some 'modification may be effect-
ed.
-275,000 OUT IN CHICAGO
RAILWAY STRIKE
A despatch from Chicago says:—
Leaders of the Chicago District Coun-
eil of the Federated Railway Shop -
men's Union said that 276,000 was a
conservative estimate of the number
of shopmen on strike throughout the
•country, zed that the movement was
•still spreading.
They declared violence would not be
-countenanced by the organization,
and that so far as they knew no mail
trains had been interfered with.

45,000,000 BUSHELS WHEAT —
A despatch from Winnipeg says:—
Manitoba will harvest approximately
46,000,000 bushels of wheat this year,
according to an estimate given out by
Hon. Winkler, Provincial Minister of

yield will be fifteen bushels to the
acre. The wheat acreage of the prov-
ince is said to be nearly 3,000,000
acres.
Estimating the price of wheat at
$2,25 per bushel, Manitoba's wheat
crop thus will be worth $101,250,000,

year, when the yield was 51,000,000
bushels and the price $2.21. per bushel.

His fllvver was out of gas. And it
was out of gas o1 a country road seven
miles from town, and the rain was fall-
ing In sheets.
Leaving his wife in the protection of
the mechine he dashed out into the
middle of the road, holding high he the
air an undersized umbrella that it
might protect his new, neatly pressed
spring suit, while he shouted at a
motorist whose headlight came dimly
through the rain: -
"Stop. I've got my wife----"
"So have 11" interrupted the motor-
ist who had gas, and his car sped on
without letup.
-And than it did rain.

piiono record on good behaviour and

a cage, and Aunt Mary consulted her

"This, children," she anuonnood, "es
an ittlt•oater."

whispered to Molly;
