LONDON. Nov. 26.—In revenge
for the continued advances end suc
re ress of the British troopss in
Palestine, 1 iie Turca-Gcrman troops
ha\e begun a series of brrbarous
outrages upon non-combatants who
are rr.en.bers of other than the en
tente races. At Jo pap where the
English treops have been particu
larly succe fal, American citizens,
some of them women were strip
ped to their skins and unmercifully
beaten according to dispatches
which have been received at Alex
antlria. Ravages upon the civil po
pulation are now rife throughout
the whole Palestine and a virtu
al reign of toiror prevails. The
Turkish people have themselves
been instigated into all manner of
assaults and abuses upon non-Turk
ish residents, confiscating their pro
perty and driving them from their
ho;ne.s and their very lives are safe
only by flight or hiding. Race hat
red and a fanatical religious preju
dice are adding to the fury of the
rioting and murders that are occur-1
ing throughout the country.
At Jerusalem which has been the 1
definite point objective ol' a con-.'
tinuously successful British drive
for several weeks, the English '
troop have reached to within two
thousand yards of the city and that I
anciert towr. ^s under bombard-1
ment. Reports of its occupation by :
the British are now momentarily
expected The advance of the Eng
lish lines continues slow but im
perceptible.
I. W. W. SECRETARY
ARRESTED AT SEATTLE
SEATTLE, Nov. 2 6.—Another of
a long series of raids upon the In
dustrial Workers of the World was
made here today. This city is the
Northwest headquarters for the
lumber workers union which is a
unit of the I. W. W. and the mem
bership of this particular branch
or department <1 that organization
has incrne cd tremendously through
out the past two years and is said
to exceed twelve thousand at this
date. Upon one occasion their
club rooms and headquarters, in
cluding their library, gymnasium,
piano, typewriters, desks and office
fixtures were wrecked and burned,it
is said at the instigation of the
former editor of the Seattle Times.
Since that time they have been the
victims of raids under sanction and
by the officials of the Federal Gov
ernment.
At the time of the wholesale in
dictment returned by the Federal
Grand Jury several of the organi
sation's officials in Seattle were
named, including that of J. A.
MacDonald, editor of their paper.
John Martin who had been mark
edly successful as an organizer anti
office executive was likewise want
ed but quietly slipped out of Se
attle by automobile over the
Cascade mountainss and is believed
to have made his way eastward.
Succeeding him in the district office
of the lumber workers is Harry
Feinberg who took charge and lo
cating the organization’s headquar
ters in a local hotel continued the
vigorous work of organization with
the result that recently the large
shingle weavers’ union of Ballard,
which is the lumber and shingle
manufacturing ection of Seattle,
went over in a body to the I. W.
VV. and it was charged by the In
ternational President ol the Shingle
weavers that the move was due to
German influences. This charge
was given considerable publicity
and comment by the Seattle Dailv
Times and it is thought that the
Federal authorities have acted upon
a belief in their truth, in the late t
raid.
Secretary Feinberg was arrested
in the raid and the papers, boohs,
and records of the organization
confiscated. He was one of the pas
sengers of the steamship Verona
which loaded with members of the
I. W. W. attempted to land in Eve
rett for the purpose of ho'dirg
public meetings in that city but
were met at the dock by members
of the Everett Commercial Club
and a dozen or more »t their mem
bers murdered.
Deputy Sheriff Jefferson Beard
and Lieut. C. O. Curtis of the state
militia were killed i” the melee and
Feinberg with se *euty four of his
colleagues wer” charged and tried
for murder in Seattlj but after a
hard fought lega' trial which lasted
for three m.nths were acquitted.
The organiziV. *n is said to have
spent $40,000 in the defense of its
accused membo . The members of
the Commercial C.irt were never
charged or br > ght to trial, al
thought formal complaint- were
made against the n and warrants
sought for th-*ir arrest.

The operators were granted in- (

immediately signified their accept
ance and returned to work. The
linemen were out without grievance
of their own but walked out in!
sympathy with the demands of the j
“hello” girls and in an effort to
force a recognition ot the girls j
union which in the last six months,
has been formed throughout the
Pacific Coast states.
This strike had its beginning at
Aberdeen, Washington, when the
girl operators of that small ex
change were attempting to form a
union and found themselves locked
out by the company and their
places fi'led by non-union operators
The strong and powerful Brother
hood of Electrical Workers with lo
cal unions in practically all of the
first class cities promptly came for
ward with assistance for this small
group of striking girls and demands
were formulated and presented to;
the exchanges in all cities of the
Pacific Ooas>. dates and after sev- !
oral weeks of negotiations resulted
in a complete suspension of service.
It is not known here what will be
the actions of the unions in the
states if Oregon and Washington

MILWAUKEE, Nov. 25.—Eleven
persons, sever, of whom aie ietec
tives on duty with the City Police
force, end one woman were in
stantly killed here today when a
bomb exploded in squad loom or
dormitory of the police station.
The infernal machine had been
found in the choir ol the Italian
Evangelical church by Miss Maude
Kictor, a member of the choir who
immediately took it to the police
station where it was being examin
ed when the fatal explosion cc-^
currcd. The death dealing device
is presumed to have been intended
lor the destruction ot the life of
the Reverend August Guillani, tiio
pastor of the Italian Evangelical
Church and hut for its accidental
discovery by AIis^ Rietor would un
doubtedly have accomplished that
purpose.
No reason is assigned and no
cause discovered for the assault
upon the Pastor’s life. This city is
known to l ave a large German po
pulation and the feeling has been
running very high between the eiti
zer.s of tliis oily who lire of German
extraction and sympathies and
those whose antecedents are lt. i
iar.. The police have no theory
other than the supposition that, the
bomb was placed by a German
sympathizer for the purpose ot
wrecking the church and killing1
the pastor, presumably resulting
from some one ot the many discus
sions about the v,r-r and present
campaign in Italy.
GERMANY REFUSES
PROPOSED TRUCE
PETROGRAD, Nov. 25.—The ex
ported German official dispatches
have arrived by special messenger
from Berlin and are found to con
vey the important decision of the
Kaiser to entertain no proposals for
a temporary armistice except such
as arise and are determined upon
by the Russian constituent assemb
ly. The Maximilists have succeeded
Kerensky in power to the extent at
least of possessing th.mselves of
the Russian government machinery
the postal, railways and telegraph
facilities, have built up their cause
and advanced its strength and the
numbers of its con tituents largely
through the propaganda for a sepa
rate peace with Germany and im
mediately upon their accession steps
were initiated with the view to end
ing Russia's participation in the
war.
The Maximilist’s appeal is based
upon the contention that the prole
tariat. or working class of Germany
and of all the other nations at war,
are ir. reality opposed to the prose-*
outioi of i1 by their respective gov
ernments, and it is this party in
Hus-ia affairs that is now upper
most. The German official com
munication is taken to mean sim
ply that the Maximalists must
establish themselves a< acting for
the Russian people through the
maintenance of the representative
assembly of the people, and this
undertaking as i. believed will put
this party to iis highest test of
politcal as well as military
strength.
