LONDON. March 30.--The newspapers Of
London have been very chary of comment
ing on the matter of the acceptance by
Berlin of DIR. David Jayne Hill as Amer
ican ambassador, largely because the nu-
merous contradictory official semi-official
and alleged inspired statements from the
German foreign office during the past
week have perpleXed and mystifed them
Almost all the English correspondents at
Berlin accepted the foreign office state
ments that "the government had not OBJ
jected TO DIR. Hill. and they advanced the
mistaken theory that Ambassador Tower
was scheming to retain his position. The
comments thus far display a considerable
ignorance Of the facts.
The Globe revises the old accusation Of
shirt sleeve diplomacy" against the
United States and says In this connection:
They quite forget that the older nations
sometimes take offense at their casual way
of conducting affairs II Emperor william

CELLULoSE is GREAT FACTOR
Matter of which Gun Cotton Is Made
Enters IntO Many
Materials.
(From a staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, March sO.-(special 49,
"Cellulose is the foundation of our mod
ern civilization" Is the rather startling
statement made by one of Uncle Sans
experts in the section of wood chemistry
In the United States forest service. Not
until one begins to figure just how in
timately our daily life is bound up with
cellulose can he appreciate the truth of
this statement.
Just what is cellulose? Cellulose, as the
name implies. is a constituent of the CELL
that vital unit Of all vegetable life. Cellu-
lose is the framework Of the vegetable
cell and is therefore necessary to all
plant and life growth 1t is however,
not only in this indirect manner that
cellulose is so important, but also di-
rectly in the practical application which
is found for so many plant products
which are mostly or partly composed of
cellulose What is wood? Mostly cellulose
What is paper? Merely a purer form of
cellulose. II cotton is king, cellulose is
the power behind the throne, because cot
ton is almost pure cellulose. Your fine
linen Is cellulose; thread, twine and rope
are all cellulose
The most powerful form of cellulose is
gun cotton or nitro-cellulose. Celluloid is
combination of nitro-cellulose with
camphor. An artificial silk is made from
cellulose which Is said to be superior to
the real article in many respects. Coal
used to be cellulose way back in the
middle ages Of this globes history, so the
biologists tell us. BY charring cellulose
charcoal is formed. These are some of the
ways in which cellulose has been. is and
may be useful to man. What do you think
now in regard to the debt owed to cellu-
lose by modern civilization? May celiuose
always be with us, may the present sup
ply be conserved and future supplies pro-
vided for.

strike for Wednesday and It is estimated
that between 1900 and 1900 men will re-
fuse to go to work at that time in the
southwest. The strike was ordered by Alex.

trict. George Coviile for the Missouri dis
trict and John Mass, president for Ar
kansas, Oklahoma and that part of Texas
which remains organized In union mines
The contract between the operators and
the unions will expuire today and the
miners proposed that they should continue
working at the old schedule while fixing a
new one. The Operators answered that
they would not negotiate a new contract
until all the mines involved would live up
to the terms Of existing contracts.
Under the contract which expires today
when there is trouble at the mine the work
is TO go on and the subject matter in dis
pute is to be referred to arbitration. The
operators have been complaining for two
years that when the men working in the
mines became dissatisfied they simply
walked out and forced the operator to come
TO terms or the miners got tired. The de-
mand is said TO be now 40 per cent less
than year ago and for that reason the
operators have decided that no new con
tract will be made uneii the miners now
on strike indicate they will work according
to contract
The miners claim the operators have re-
fused to meet with the operators today

say that II the operators had agreed TO
meet and formulate new contract the
