WANT PUNS ARE SUGGESTED Radical Elements in the Steei Strike Gettlnq the Worst of It—British Railway Strike Ended—Senate Deadlock on Peace Treaty Poaaible. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. Alarm over the condition of President Wilson was considerably allayed by the favorable reports Issued last week by his physicians. He was kept quiet, in spite of his protests, and was not permitted to pay any attention to th> mass of public business awaiting him. Tlie result of this treatment was his steady Improvement, though b* may not be able to resume his official duties for some time. The inactivity irked him greatly and Mr*- Wilson and the doctors bad io exercise their Ingenuity to keep him from getuag In communication with public men. Of course the president could not attend thy opening of the Industrial conference which be had summoned, but it began ita sessions. In the BkDAmerican building, with 00 delegate*

retary Of the Interior Lane was made [>erm«oent rhainngn .and then ihe delegate*. split Into groups, got busy oa the program that should bo foRowea. Naturally, they were swamped with suggestions of ait sorts and from al l-arts of the conntry. and the Job of -■Iftlng out the reasonable plans was a Mg one. The rules adopted were designed to prevent the wafctlar of tiro* by extremists and cranks who might wish to talk at length on their theories whether radical or reactionary. The somewhat hazy but mighty task set for this conference la the discovery of some method ... i.rcotnplisliing industrial peace, of bringing about an understanding between employers and workers, of ending or lessening strike* and lockouts so that production may be Iscreased and high costs lowered. Every grvmp. and (.robably every Individual delegate, has more or less definite ideas as to how all this may Ik- accornpushed, and la to be Rtopod the conference can hit >111 the right one* und tiring about th. tr adoption. Tli.- tlrwl pisn prcM-ated to the conference wb« for an immediate industrial truce t>i continue three months which would sl.-p all strikes at once. This was propoMSl by < Tialnnan Baruch of the public group, and follow* the scheme adopted In Frau.-c. The so-ond propoadtiun, made by Chairman Gnmprr* of the luistr group, was for tinmedhite arbitn^ion of the - atecl strike by a iMiard of atx. two to be appolnted by each group In the cooforents-: this contemplated the Inutn-dlnte return of the strikers to work ts-nding the results of the ariillration.

state autboritles and atagrd some riotous detsoastrations the f*<>ral troops " vre sent there In a hurry and quirt was at pace restored. Gen. Ix-ouard Wood, commanding th* central department, hastened from Omaha, whe.c he had been r pp.-easing the race war. and took personal command In the steel tovn. He turned his attention Immediately to the red* and a raid on their headquarters was productive of quantmep of revolutionary matter, to say nothing of guns and'ammunition. Martial law was proclaimed and then General Wood established a censorship on all news relating to raids and arrests by the military. It was made dear that the troops were there to preserve live* and pro|»erty and not to Interfere with the strike, but as soon ns the radicals were routed and the soldier* were posted throughout the town the steel workers who wished to work returned to the mills la greatly Increased numbers. In the entire Chicago district many more plants resumed operation, the average force being perhaps 50 per cent of normal. In the East also the autboritles were active against- the radicals, the most spectacular happening being a raid at Welrtoto. W. Va.. In which 187 alleged members of the L Vk. \y. were seized, marched to the public so a are and forced to kneel and kiss the American flag. Seven of them were held by federal agents and the reet were run out of the town. These were *11 Finns .and the strike leader there said if It vvaa true that they were reds organized labor would not defend them. Though the people of the United Stele* generally have no great love for the L'oiteu State* Steel corporation. and though Chairman Gary did not arouse any Increased sympathy tor It by bis talk to the senate committee on labor, there U a widespread feeling that a victory for it In thla strike will be beneficial to the country as a whole. The big railway strike In Great Britain was settled by a romproml.-c agreement, the mala points of which

are:

Wdrk to Ite resumed forthwith On full resumption of work, negotiations shall be continued with the -nderstandlng they will be completed before December 81. 1010. Wagv* will t>e stabilised In the United Kingdom at their present level up to UejitemlK-r 30. 1020. Any time after August 1. 1U20. they may be reviewed In the light of circumstances then e*-

By the eternal dtoen of things Sir Arthur Conan Doyle should write thi* •lory, for in the spellbound hour* la which laconic brown men in khaki and "horizon Woe" gave it to me 1 visualised do on* so much as Sherlock Holme*—grim, brooding and penetrating—riding In their places miles over the smoke of Flanders; sitting in their places in the map-littered dug out* behind the lines of battle, untangling ihe mysteries of uncanny secret*. Douglas Held writes In Popular Mecl tnlra magazine. It U the story of tha great est detective system ever devised by man, the Inner story of how the allies by aerial photography and weird deduction from meaningless prints ot the German Tlpt* solved the riddlesTy-% of the foe—the trtotj of the camera, the “best spy of the time." Into this story wtn tome the ■strange ease of the human footprint and the cnustless thing* of stealth U revealed, also the curious “rogues' gallery" of German gen era Is which the allied detectives collected, kept and used with such sure might—also the odd ... but a beginning must be made. There is no more astonishing thing In the whole marvel of aerial photography than the camera's shinty »o catch the trail of a walking man. At two and a half mllai In the air the ordinary aeriaj camera will show the footprints of a man going across slightly shelled ground. At s mile It wlH *bo» them on new-mown grass. At five miles It will reveal them trailing across “No Man’s land." Consider this: Once the French were planning to take a certain bin. knowing that Aararlan "landsturm"— pool machine-gun fighters—held It weakly. At dawn a photographer went up. came dishing back with a picture and 15 mlnmee later the French general called off the attack and fared the lives of thousands of his men. - And yet the camera bad caught no remarkable thing. It merely showed that one group of men had gone out nod another come Into the trenches during •be night. The footprints of the German* told that much. The Incoming trail, followed back, was found to emerge from a woods, lying beside a fine white road. The allied detective* bending over their print*, followed that road to the nearest German cantonment and proved by atill other photograph* that the cantonment was brio by ITuasiaus. Presto! The French naff knew that crack Prussian* were opposing them and that It would b* nothing short of suicide to attack. Deduction of this sort was more than half of the wwk of Ihe aerial photography section* of the allied armies. Tlie work of snapping pictures from the air waa picturesque, dangerous, heroic: but for thrill and romance give me those sweating, rilem men In th# A dugouts. studying photographs by the hour, catching a dew here, a telltale murk there that mode Hlndenhurg's plan , an open book. Modern photographic science laid before each allied genera! a complete picture of everything the enemy wa« doing and almost everything !t was going to do. It showed him munlstutably what hU : w n men were dolrx and what they eould do. It relieved him of cunfilctlng atones from spies, from human mistake—for tha earner., dots *t He. Napoleon could not guess whot We! Ilngtnn wa* planning: Fnch could send up a pb<d<«rapher and within an boor know what I.udendorff was thinking
