With the resumption of normal street ear traf fic this morning, street car official announced that the strike, called by organize labor last night, was at an end. ' "Outside of nominal property dam age, " miid Superintendent of Transpor tation Henderson today, "the strike, so-called, does not amount to anything. In fact there has not been any' strike on tlio part of our men, and. the whole thing was a disturbance urged by pro fessional agitators imported from the east. Our men, with few exceptions, have not quit work." Samuel Atkinson, organizer of the street car men's union wus unable to statu this morning how many Seattle Klectric company employes were per suaded to go on strike. "But 1 will say this," he said. "The strike has the backing of organized la bor here and it has the backing of the Amalgamated Association of Klectric and Street Unilwtiy Employes, nnd ev ery man who quits the Seattle i.lcitne company will be properly taken care of. The strike is on, and it stays on until the company grants it. men the Amen con privilege or organizing." Mayor Hill is of the opinion today that the strike riots are over. "I dn not anticipate any more trouble," he said. Agitation In Tacotna. Taetuna, Wash., March 31. Although efforts have been made for several davs past, to organize the employes ot the local branch of the Stone and Web ster Traction corporation, it is not be- lie veil that the Seattle strike will be extended to "this city. There were no surface indications of dissatisfaction on the part of local car men today' that would lend to the belief that a walk out is imminent. Manager l II. Iicun of the traction company stated. Inncver. fiat lie wj.ild not be greatly surprised if the Seattle trouble pliould spread to Taeouia, nl though he did not anticipate any inter ruption to car service in such event as few of his men, lie stated, had affiliat ed with the street cur union.

I'risi, firing between the Villa and Ciirrmiza forces began early today to the west ward oi Miitainoius, across the Rio ilrnnle from here. A heavy fog cover ed tin river and little of the action could be distinguished. No shells fell on this side of the bor der in spite of the fact tiint artillery was being used. This indicated that both factions intended to respect Am erican lives and property rights. It is reported thai 17 machine guns uinl 10 cannon have arrived aud been added to Villn's artijlery. A number of dynamite bombs were hurled by the Cnrrnnr.istas, with what effect is not known, Tiring on both sides eivised soon alter this and each army assumed a waiting attitude.

Ooudert, specialist in internntioiial lar,- and n member of the National Security league. "It has been announced by the general staff," said Mr. Coudert,' "that 20IUHIU men could be landed in the vicinity of New York in ten days. There are at least four large countries wl.ich are so supplied with inercliaiit marine facilities ami transport service that they each could ship LViL.tlOO men to our shores at one time, Those troops Could be landed without serious opposition at South hnmpton, on Long Island, liuz.anl 's Itny, Mass., or on the New Jersey coast. Our navy could be boxed up ami would imt have to be defeated. The enemy's infantry would have little trouble tak ing our const line forts. There is a great fallacy concerning tlinse fortifi cations. Most persons think they are i Impregnable. As a matter of fact, most of our sencoast forts are open on the hi ml side. After landing in the rear of our forts ami putting them out of busi- 'ness the enemy could send his ships in to our liarbois. Their big guns soon would bring our seaconat citizens to terms. What would our armv and na tional guard be doing all this time? yon may ask. l'recious little, you can be as sured. Although the authori.ed strength of the regular army is 4,iii officers ami IT),1.'"" enlisted men, our efficient mobile fighting force is about '',73S of ficers and 'l!,!iiW men.

San Diego, Pal., March 31. "War is the most hideous thing in the world tho most horrible thing I have ever seen, or ever expect to see. But, brutal ns it may seem, this war in Knrope, for the good of all, should be fought out. J,et them rest and recuperate and they'll simply be nt it again. Let one or the other get. the daylights kicked oal of it and tho sootier the worm will become disgusted with uiininrisin nn, universal pence will re sult." lrvin S. Cobb, who ro'ontly re turnoil from the war arena, whore he wrote many widely read nrticles and who expects to return to the scene of war in May, expressed these emphatic views today. Heing neutral in his position, Cor respondent Cobb did not predict .iust which side would eventuallv have' its "daylights kiidied out," but he stout ly maintained that the final result would cure any delusion existing in mortal mind that war is either sweet. attractive or desirable. Xor did he place the blame for the existing con i m i on uerinaiiv, neciiiise of its veins of riuid militarism, but. attributed all cliielly to the iilmiehtv ilollui- which he averred will alwnvs be foun.l as the cause lurking behind militarism and resultant bloodshed, devastation and suffering. "Since Cain killed Abel," Cobb de clared, "the slaui'hter of mini has based on trade. The European war is a war of commercial supreiuacv nnd expansion. When people get trade jealous, the military spirit predomin ates and sooner nr later somebody is bound to bump Into somebody. "All that I have seen on the buttle- rield of Kin-ope lias convineoil me that war Is a hundred times more ilieinflul than thote isolated from the s iAof coninar, nn compreacnil. 1 am going rncK iioesnsi ,ive my work, ami 1 teei illicit, ns a result of my rest, to work my young head completely off tile next tune.

A statement mnking it clear thai while this gov ernment does not approve of loans be ing made to the warring nations nf Euro'ie, the administration does not consider itself in a position to inter fere with the transactions between for eign powers and individual bankers, was issued from the stnto department t odnv. "The state department has received from time to time information, both directly and indirectly, to the effect that belligerents hive arranged with luiiiki of the fn it ed States for credits of various sums,'' the statement de clares. "While loans to belligerents have been disapproved, thin gn el iiinelil has not felt it was jnstil icd in interposing nil objection to the credit iigreements. "It lias neither expressed approval ur disapproval, but has simply taken no action in the premises and has expressed no opinion.''
