GREAT STRIKE IN FRANCE
Entire Seacoast Affected by Sailors
Quitting Work.
A general strike of sailors and oth-
which began in Almost all the
ports of France May 31, threatens to
complete paralysis of French com-
merce. The naval reserve comprises
nearly the entire marine population
engaged in seafaring life. It numbers
about 117,000 men, of whom 25,000
are serving in the navy. On addition
to practically all the sailors of the
mercantile marine, most of the long-
shoremen belong.
The strike was declared by the
executive committee of the National
Seamen's Union because the govern-
ment’s new bill increasing pensions
from $40.80 tO $7250. in the case of
seamen and from $156 to $200 in case
of captains is anal as inadequate.

Long Demands That President

Wm. J. Long of -: Stamford,

has. written President Roosevelt,
which adds an interesting chapter to
their “nature fakir” controversy. In
part, it is as follows:
“Dear Sir: The issue between you
and me is no longer one of animals,
but of men; it is not chiefly a matter
of matural history, but of truth and
personal honor. ‘As President of the
United States, you have gone out of
your way publicly to injure a private
citizen, who was attending strictly
to his own business. As a man, you
have accused of falsehood another
man, whose ideas of truth and honor
are quite as high as your own. :
“If 1. have spoken falsely,” if in
any book, or word of mine, I have in-
tentionally deceived any child ‘or
man regarding animal life,
publicly to retract every. word,
never to write another animal book.
On the other hand, if IT show to
disinterested person that you have ac-
cused me falsely,
