Want Big Increase.
The increase in wages that Will be
demanded amounts to about Is per
cent, and the miners argue that the
cost of living is fully that much more
than it was when the present wage
scale went into effect.
The operators claim that. with the
reduction in the working hours and
the increase in wages, the present price
obtained for their output is not COM
mensurate with the exacting demands
of the miners, and that the only way
they can accede to the miners demands
will be to raise the price of coal
Their reason for the probable raise in
the price of their output. il is said. is
based upon two facts: The additional
expense incident to operating their
mines If the new wage scale Is adopted
and the reports from all over the coun-
try indicating general prosperity.

AN ANGLo.FRENCH ENTENTE

There may be no particular political
significance to the magnificent display
OF naval strength made by Great Britain
and France at Portsmouth this week,
and no threat is intended to Germany;
but the meaning Is nevertheless clear
The two countries are demonstrating
their intention OF standing together
although the Kaiser may do his best to
produce the impression that he must
be consulted on questions OF general Inn
portance. The entire English people
seems to have entered. into the spirit OF
the festivities, and Il may be safely
concluded that the entente with France
Is popular,
Great Britain and France ought 20
be natural allies. both nations being

march OF civilization and human rights,
The alliance between France and Rus
STA was unnatural. and It never was
real, at least on the side OF Russia,
since the autocratlc rulers Of that
country cannot consistently uphold
and support a republican form OF gov

menace to Itself, as Is evident In the
present chaos IN the northern empire.

understand each other they need not
fear the consequences Of intimate
friendship they can. TO mutual advan-
tage. support each other, and their poll
cy should be the maintenance Of peace
and good will.
The tendency In France at present is
away from the yoke Of mlltarism Of
the last quarter of a century, which
was submitted to In the hope Of. some
day, obtaining revenge upon Germany
The tendency now is toward the adop-
ton OF arbitration treaties. The union
Of the powerful influences Of Great
Britain and France for the promotion
Of that policy, should go far toward the
permanent establishment Of peace up
on earth, And that Is what an Anglo
French entente must necessarily stand
for. 1t is n union Of forces for peace,
and not for aggression.

Stories OF the absurd ideas of Turkish
censors have often been told. The lat
est appears in an English magazine.
A Mr. Bond OF the Monastir Mission
sent telegram to a gathering Of fellow

It with. Greetings In the name of the
Master The telegraph operator took
the telegram. but after three days a
police officer called on Mr.. Bond, He
was sent to INQUIRE who the Master"
was in whose name Mr.. Bond had tele-
graphed. The latter did his best to ex-
plain, and after a while the policeman
appeared to comprehend. But as he
left, the official inquired WAS He an
Austrian or a Russian" Neither
was the reply; "a Jew" The next day
the policeman was back. Please he
said. write down the name of the jew

Bond wrote down the name OF Christ,
this did not appease the censor. The
Turkish government could encourage

not sent.
