I. W. W.'s MURDEH SOLDIERS. Dastards' Bullet? End Lives of Over seas Men Parading. Centralia, Wash., Nov. ll.- War ren Grimm, Centralia lawyer, and Ben Ca?sagrandn, Centralia real estate Alan, died late to-dny from wounds' received when industrial Workers ol' tho World ll red on Ar mistice Day parado hero to-day. Tho death list early to-night stood ul three, Arthur McElfrosh having boen killed instantly. All were overseas men. Dale Hubbard, one of the si : men wounded, was reported dying. The other wounded will recover, ii was said. All the killed and wound ed were overseas veterans. Sixteen alleged Industrial Work ers of I he World were arrested early to-night, and more were being placed in jail as fast as they could bo found. Former soldiers were guarding the Jail to keep the prisoners from a mob which crowded around the building. Immediately after the shooting, a crowd of spoctators and marchers seized a man they believed to be the ringleader of the I. W. W. They put a rope around his neck, threw the rope over the cross-arm of a telephone polo and started to haul bim up. He was in the air only a brief period before tho chief of po lice prevailed upon the crowd to lot him down. To-night the man was in jail here nearly dead. Headed hy Veterans. The whole city bad turned out to celebrate the anniversary of the sus pension of hostilities and a large parade was formed, headed hy the city's boys who bad helped bring about tho glad day a year ago. Wear ing the uniforms that sheltered thom in the trenches of Franco and on tho picket lines of the German bord er, the service men were tho cynosure of the hundreds of women and chil dren who lined the streots. As the column swung around the corner of Tower avenue and Second avenue, the hand struck up a patri otic march. Then bullets came into the ranks from an unseen onemy. Men fell to tho pavement and tiny rivulets of blood showed the spec tators what bad taken placo, tho crack of tho ri Iles of the assassins having been drowned by tho blare of the band. Tiny puffs of smoke from the roof of a nearby building indicated whence the bullets had come, and the nearness of the I. W. W. hall led to the quick decision that the heroes who bad weathered tho sanguinary battlefields of Europe had boon slain from ambush by radicals who op posed tho American system of govern ment. Tho marching soldiers did not linger to await tho order to fall out, but with seeming intuition rushed into the nearby structure and sought their way to tho roofs. Tho snipers had disappeared, but the service men sought highways and byways for all suspicious persons and then sent out pioneers into tho Umbered country around ibu city Sudden Terror. Wives, daughl rs and j^'eethe?rJ? of tb.?? parado!ti, ?ftev a momentary p?u&? from tho sudden lorr.ot Ot the ultUalion, rushed to the aid of tho fallen. That the Hiing was intondod for soldiers was shown by the fact that all the killed and injured wore in the military section of the pa rade, which was made up partly of residents of Chohails. Arthur Mc El frosh was found to have been killed instantly, but War ren Grimm did not tile until later. Grimm's death added to the fury of tho crowd of civilians that swarmed later about tho jail to demand ven gea nee. Ho had been an idol of the town even before the war, as he was a star football player nt tho University of Washington. Ho had added to the esteem of lils townsmen by a pro fessional career until the war for democracy called him. He had been welcomed home with all tho plaudits due a warrior, and lils death at tho hidden hands of thoso who opposed that for which he had faced tho ene my in tho open, drove men and women to frenzy. As soon aa the first excitement subsided somewhat, word of tho at tack was sent to Governor Hart, at Olympia. Ho communicated with Department of Justice officers at Se attle and then (j/^patched 75 mem bers of tho Third Infantry, National Guard, to Centralia. Mob Hangs Prisoner, Seattle, Wash.. Oct. ll.-About 8 o'clock tho mob surrounding the Centralia jail succeeding in getting one of tho 1. W. W.'s arrested out of the jail and into an automlbile, rushing bim away before the guards could prevent it. At 7.?50 to-night the city's lights suddenly were cut off and a volley of shots rained down Pearl street, lt was during this period that the prisoner was taken from jail and spirited away. He was rushed toward a nearby wood and at last accounts the crowd had disappeared with him. A report telephoned to tho As sociated Tress here to-night says: "The man's body is now hanging on a rope under the bridge about ten feet from tho water. Tho I. W. W. tho mob lynched was tho one who shot Dale Hubbard."

Strasburg, Nov. 4. - Premier clemenceau's speech here to-day, considered his political velodictory lo France, rose much above party politics. It was, for the most part, a plea for universal tolerance and racial justice, and an appeal to the working man throughout the world io resume labor's pre-war methods and "work." "The world's only salvation from IhO social and economic chaos from which it ls now emerging is "work," (1 M. Clemenceau. Thus, with characteristic brevity, the premier found a solution for the many problems that now confront t the democracies of the world. "As for the Bolshevists," said M. Clemenceau, "there can be no dis cussion between them and the pub lie, lt is a ?implo question of force. In clamoring for freedom for them selves they want to Impose upon oth ers a terrible and absolute dictator ship."
