mining industry. Following up
this review Mr.. Murphy gives a
table showing the fatal accidents
in Maryland during the year GOV
cred by the report and has only
four TO report from the coal mines
and one from the fireclay mines,
making death rate of only O.
per 1000 men employed in the in
dustry. This IS a record that
beats the world, 100000 tons
and more being mined for each
fatal accident. Mr.. Murphy has
! added new column to his acct
dent reports, that showing how
many persons were dependent up
on the ones killed in the mines.
For the year 1906 the number of
dependents left was 81.
In the table showing the num-
Der of inspections, the total of
which is SIS or just I less than
one for each day Of the year, not
excluding Sundays. This is
greater number than one man
should make, hence the law should
be changed to require four visits
per year instead Of six as it now
stands or else an assistant inspec-
tor should be provided for. There
are about 50 coal mines in Allie
gany county and IS in Garrett,
and 5 fire clay mines in Allegany.
making total of 6S mines that
are according to law to be visited
and inspected once in two months
or six times a year. One man
cannot do this and attend to office
work. 1t is physical impossi-
bility.
In addition to the coal mining
industry, there has been added
since Mr.. Murphy has been in the
office the inspection of the freclay
mines, which had been ignored by
previous inspectors,
Mr.. Murphy predicts a great
future for this branch of mining in
the state.
The subject of mining is always
a pertinent one. While a large
area of the seam known as the Big
Vein is worked out or said to be,
considerable progress has been
made in recent years in going after
coal known to be yet unmined in
the Big Vein, and in mines that
have been abandoned as worked
out. The Piedmont and Georges
Creek Coal Company has done
great deal in this respect. The
Consolidation Coal Company is
doing considerable along this line.
In conclusion Mr.. Murphy
should be congratulated on his
success as mine inspector, and all
interested in the industry should
feel proud that such a conscien
tious and careful man has had the
Office for the past four years. Mr..
Murphy has been alike careful Of
the interests Of employer and en-
ploye and has administered his
Office with one purpose, that of
conscientious service to all con-
cerned.

WORLDS AWAKENING
SHOWS WAR Of
THE FUTURE.
English Book Describes a Conflict
Involving Four Great Nations.
Japan As AN AGGRESSOR
Opening Fight in Australia, and Hos
tiIities Spread to Philippines.

The author Of the famous War
OF the Future, the late Jean de
Bloch, insisted that an uprising Of
the SocialistiC proletariat would
bring the next great world-war to
an inconclusive close. a book IS
published here which adopts that
opinion, and is interesting in yet
another sense because it illustrates
the growing disillusionment of
England with the too obtrusive
success Of her ally, Japan.
The Worlds Awakening" pur-
ports to be a scientific military
novel it describes a war which
breaks out in 1920 between Eng
land and Japan, and soon involves
( France, Germany and the United
States. The anonymous author
explains that the Anglo-Japanese
alliance was not renewed in 1918
mainly owing to the opposition of
Australia, which hates and breads
| Japan, and threatens to "cut the
painter unless the alliance is at
once dissolved.
1t is Australia that br;roc ~,
the Armageddon During a cour-
tesy visit of Japan's fleet to Sgd
ney, the Australian mob shows
its feeling toward the visitors by
attacking their sailors and mob
bing the local Japanese residents.
The japanese admiral opens fire
on the town and occupies it.
Negotiations ensue with England.
Japan demands reparation. and
makes the impossible demand that
her immigrants shall be allowed
free access, given the franchise,
and placed on complete equality
with the white man.
While negotiations are suppose
to be proceeding, the Japanese az
miral on the China station informs
the British commander that war
was declared" and attacks and
destroys the British fleet, Port
Arthur fashion.
Japan scores everywhere. She
incites Hindus to revolt, and in
trigues an insurrestion in Cairo.
a rebellion against American rule
breaks out in the Philippines,
which proves to be the result of a
Japanese plot. Japan soon shows
her hand, lands troops, defeats an
American force, and makes no
COnCealment of her determination
to seize the islands and keep them.
Germany and France meantime
come to blows, and Germany is
discounted.
America declares that she will
prosecute hostilities with Japan at
all costs, and will under no cir
cnmstances surrender the Philip
pines. The war continues in
decisively.
But the proletariat of the world
knows no indecision. The probe
ta1iat has decided that the war
shall not continue. Anti-war
strikes and riots begin in England,
and make it impossible to con-
tinue the fight, Russia and Italy
offer to intervene, and the war
comes to a sudden end with an
appeal to The Hague Tribunal.
The Worlds Awakening" is
only one of many books on future
wars which have appeared in Eng
land during the past few years.
But it is very significant that its
author selects Japan as the great
enemy of the worlds peace. No
Englishman who wanted sale for
his book would have made such a
choice even year ago. 1t is still
more significant that the Arr
geddon should be ended by
peace.loving proletariat on tA~
lines laid down by De Bloch.

the sure enough thing.
! heard rather an amusing story
the other day which illustrates
this point, \ certain Western
senator was vigorously urging the
appointment Of a man from his dis
trict for a consulate in Africa.
The man was VIGOROUSLY an enemy
OF the senator, politically. He
was not of any particular use as a
friend but, he had a vitriolic kind
of eloqnence which made him de-
cidedly unpleasant as an enemy.
a friend Of the senator's express
ed some surprise at the activity of
the statesman in behalf of his
enemy.
why are you making so hard
fight to get Smith that place at
Bungo Bungo,' he asked the sen
ator.
Because l don't know Of a va
cancy further from home, was
the prompt and candid reply.
An interesting figure in Wash
ington recently was David Zephler,
full-blooded Sioux Indian. who
is here with a delegation of his
tribesmen, who have been trying
to get several matters Strengthened
out. Zephler is a quiet sort of
chap, speaks English like a we'll
educated man and attends to bust
ness. He was famous as an Indian
scout in his younger days, having
served under General Custer in
the campaign which resulted in
his death Zephler was with
Reno at the time of the massacre.
He is said to be one Of the most
influential men in the councils Of
the Sioux aud also has the full
confidence of the officials of the
Indian bureau. He will probably
get what he comes for.
The old saying that a govern
ment official rarely dies and
never resigns has been shown to
be false in at least one case. For
eleven years, Captain James II.
Harris, OF Indiaa. has been war
den Of the United States Jail, but
he will superintend the putting in
of the crops on his farm near No
blesville, Ind, this year as pri-
vate citizen.
II am getting to be an old
man, seid Captain Harris, when
asked why he resigned, and I
find the White river more alluring
to me than the Potomac, that all.
I had rather watch the corn and
COWS during my remaining days
than to SUPERVISE the rising up
and setting down Of the human
wrecks who have come under my
care for the past half score of
years"
