SPEECH FELICITATES GERMANY
REICHSTAG SPEECH CONGRATULATES
GERMANY JNJNANY SUCCESSES
Internationa. Nevks Service.
iSKUld.N, Si'pi. 21). Till' formal
opining yesterday of the reiehslag
was without unpleasant disclosuri s
which were expected but which hard
ly could occur because nearly the
entiire session was devoted to hearing
the opining speech of Herr Knemiin,
president of the reichstag.
The substance of his speech was
congratulatory to the whole people of
Germany from the kaiser to the hum
blest peasant in ihe fields, each one
of whom, said the president, had done
his full duty by the fatherland.
In all ways, the speaker said, mili
tary, econoinicitl and political, impe
rial Germany has reason for satisfac
tion and self-congratulation. Our
enemies, he said, who surround us on
every side, have been unable to with
stand our victorious arms. They have
suffered defeat after defeat at Ger
many's hands.
In spite of a merciless blockade of
our ports and even of the forts of
neutrals whence Germany might ob
tain supplies, the country is well sup
plied with food and the army lacks
nothing for the prosecution of Ihe
war.
The disruptions and political dis
sentions our enemies have not only
prophesied ns sure to occur in our
midst, and have even attempted to
ferment have not occurred and will
| not occur, continued Herr Kaeman...
The present duty before us. said
tiie president, is to see that these
auspicous conditions continue, that our
resources be conserved and properly
used until our enemies shall learn
that Germany is invincible.
The speech was marked by cheering
by members of all parties except the
radicals who showed their opposition
to some sentiments by scattering
groans.
SYMPATHETIC STRIKE
SEEMS PETERIN6 OUT
International News Service.
NEW YOU Is. Sept. 29.—The labor
lenders admit their disappointment
over the lock of interest taken by
union members in the sympathetic
strike. It does not now seem likely
that the strike will assume large i pro
portions as the garment workers and
Hebrew associations have not joined
the movement.
The most optimistic leaders do not
claim more than two hundred thou
and now out and the number is prob
ably far below that figure.
Many leaders are pessimistic as to
the outcome. Striking car men in
whose interests the present strike was
called have made no efforts recently
to interfer with the operation of the
cars ami trains of the Interborough
lines trusting the final success of their
demands to the strike of other unions.
Truffle has already assumed Its regu
lar aspects.
FAST WALKING.
John Nelson walked in from Er
rickson & Tice's works oh Bangor
creek on Friday. He reports that the
rest of the crew are expected to come
in soon. It was freezing when he left
but there had been no snow on the
other side of the hills. He walked
the distance of 17 miles in three hours
a nd 15 minutes which is said to lie
a record over that trail.
