British Workmen No Longer Fight Government But Cooperate in Turning Out 1 Munitions of War.

UONDON. Aug. 19. The praise

which the entire press regardless of

party has been showering on Uoyd ftnrM mvmr since, with his usual al

most explosive energy, he took hold of the munltloui problem, Is certainly

well deserved and It Is doubtful woetu

r inv other man In England could

hare accomplished so much In so short

a time. Out of a confusion, Ignorance, drow

slness and stupidity, he has created

order, energy and enthusiasm among the workers. He has transformed sleepy '-towns into bustling Industrial ratrea and slovenly, selfish laborers loot bustling patriotic and unselfish

workers who have only one thought that of sending the soldiers at the

front all . the. ammunitions and guns

Impressed with what be had seen.

-I come here." be said "In order to

be able to tell the readers of my paper what England is doing, for it is no use trying to conceal that among the civil population in France, the impression has been spreading that France was being made to bear almost the whole burden of the war. ' "As for myself I arrived here with very small expectations for 1 know the English people's tendency to" take things easy, and trust the special providence which Is supposed to look after the English nation. I was therefore quite prepared, when' I came to Birmingham to find the city looking quite as usual and the workingmen doing their duty in a half hearted slovenly manner, taking no Interest In anything that did not concern their own personal welfare, but I was gladly surprised to notice the almost miraculous change which has taken place within the last two or three months, since I was here last. v England Is Aroused. "After having met scores of men of all classes from the heads of great manufacturing firms to the lowest unskilled workers I do not hesitate to say

that England, industrial England, has been stirred to the depths and that the working classes are full of patriotism and fully aware of the vital importance

of turning out ammunition in unlimited

Quantities. The only thing I regret Is that my pen is not able to do justice

to the firm resolve, the grim determi nation of the English workers.

"With men like Lloyd George and Albert Thomas in charge of the department of ammunitions here and in

France our heroic soldiers may rest as

sured that they will never again suffer from the lack of shells which has so hampered our planned great offensive and which is really the only reason why we have not driven the Germans

back across the Rhine months ago." MARIETTA CITIZENS CONGEAL ACTIVITIES

ON LYNCHING NIGHT

ATLANTA, Aug. 19 Today was

-ailDl day" at Marietta. With three

Investigations under way into the lynching of Leo M. Frank after he

had been kidnapped from the state

prison farm at Milledgeville, leading citizens were guarded in their state

ments regarding their whereabouts on

Monday: evening, and qualifying them

as wen.

In regard to the lynching they were outspoken in their declarations, as they have been since Frank was stolen

away from his cell. But regarding their presence that night only friends

of long standing are told outsiders

all being regarded as private detec

tives or secret sercice men.

Seekers for information in regard to

absentees from Monday night's postponed meeting of the Marietta Bus!

ness Men's association learned much

that was prefaced with "I heard on

good authority," or '1 understand." and

by piecing them together obtained the

information that two groups of men

were engaged in plans to lynch Frank

One of these was at Milledgeville and

the other at Marietta.

At Milledgeville fifteen men were engaged in preparing the way for the

onrush of the twenty-five Marietta cit

izens, and their work covered a period of several weeks. It was first decided to lynch Frank just after his

sentence had been commuted. After

the attack on Frank in prison, the

outsiders decided to wait until after he had left the hospital, not wishing

to hang a sick man.

A man named Chandler, who was

an eye-witness to the hanging, said:

"I saw Frank taken from the second of

four cars stalled down the road abit He limped along like a man in a

hobbleskirt. with a man on either side

of him, to the tree where I afterward saw the body. Then the crowd got around him and I left. None of them

had masks on. He made no outcry

that I know of." Despite the attitude of Marietta cit

isens. Governor Harris announced that his investigation would be thorough

and that rewards would be offered for the arrest and conviction of the' men

who engaged in the lynching. MEETS WITH PREMIER

"The conditions; will be necessary in order to breed more men," he says. y "However," I think that -.women are so enlightened itodayj that It will not be sanctioned by the governments, but will , exist sub-rosa." j WICKFORD, R.I. To be the grandmother, of two. sets of twins .and to see the four children, christened at the-same ceremony Is the unusual experience of Mrs. David S. Baker of this town. In the . old Narragansett church, built over two hundred years ago, the christening took - place recently. Her: daughter, Mrs. Frank L.:Hinckley, is the mother of one pair of babies, both. girls, and her son, David S." Baker, Jr., is the father of the f other twins, both boys.

Have you not heard men rave about the over-indulgence of a certain

man in a certain way, and then proceed to make gluttons of themselves in the manner which affords them the greatest pleasure?

There are certain kinds of intemperance. You may be a victim. But

before you complain about the other fellow it might be well for you to overcome your own particular form of intemperance.

Too many men can see faults in others, but are blind to. their own. The man who served a jail sentence long ago often is the first to kick

the other fellow who finds himself in the same predicament.

The man who censures the son of another often overlooks the sort of

life that his own son is leading.

One woman thinks "it is. just terrible" the way a certain girl conducts

herself, but when It comes to her own daughter "she is just young and

thoughtless." " - . .

Before you blame other folks,, look inside awhile. When you have finished your self-inspection, 10 to 1 you will not have

the heart to blame the other person. ....

I admit that the packing case even draped with a bath towel, has certain disadvantages from the aesthetic point

of view;. a recent arrival in our midst was moved to mirth by the sight of a building ' furnished throughout with deal boxes, ut, after all, the worst that can be said of the packing case is that it is plain and somewhat uncompromising when you knock against its angles in the lark.
