England stands in that war for every

otherwise, and says: 1T has been

which the Americans fought at Licking

from the fact could be invented. The
Americans fought for separation OF the
colonies from Great Britain that they

'uitlandcrs in the Transvaal claim that
they have the right to a voice in its

British allegiance. The difference is
vital. Had the Dutch republicans yield

There was a hope expressed that the

side en- route to the Coleraine coll
liery with a view TO inducing the
men at that place TO quit work. The
strikers did not attempt TO force
them TO suspend work. but merely
asked them TO do so. In this the
strikers were quite successful. as a
number of nonunion men returned to
their homes. The marching miners
then went back TO McAdoo and dis
persed.
