Representativ of United States
Great Britain and France Take Up
Theme of Peace and Express Hope
That Nations Which Once Found
Each Other Worthy Foes viii Never
Again Take Up Arms
the arrival of President Taft, AM
bassador Jusserand of France. Am
bassador Bryce of Great Britain, Sec
rotary OF War Dickinson and Vice Ad-
miral Uriu of Japan, the celebration
of the 300th anniversary of the dis
covery of Lake Champlain took on an
International scope and really a world
wide importance.
The president and other distin-
guished guests had an afternoon OF
interest They were shown through
the historic ruins of "Old IT," as the
natives call Fort Ticonderoga, which
is now in course of restoration. There
was historic interest in the old place,
alike for the representatives of Great
Britain, of France and the United
States, for the rocky promontory was
held in turn by the French, the Eng
fish and the American revolutiOnists.
Ambassador Jusserand was most
felicitous in his expression of peace
and good will toward America, to-
ward Great Britain and toward all the
Il
ing to the fact that France and Great
Britain soon are to celebrate the com
pletion of 100 years of peace.
Ambassador Bryce took up this
theme and declared that although he
was surrounded by martial scenes and
men Of arms, he, himself, was a man
OF peace. Not until | visited the old
fort yOnder today" said Bryce, did
l realize how many memories cluster
around its ruins. But | cannot but
believe the Creator meant this beauti-
full spot for something else than fight
ing, and | trust that it will never see
fighting again"
Ambassador Bryce declared that the
English and the French in the fight
ing around Ticonderoga found each
other worthy foes. And while he ad-
mired them, he said, for their cour-
age in the cause they went forth to
fight for, he hoped they would never I,
never do it again.
President Taft, speaking next, also
took up the theme of peace. He said :
Il think it is well for us to go back
through the history of all nations, in
order that our own heads, a little
swelled with modern progress, may be
diminished a bit in the proper appre-
citation OF what was done by nations
before us, under conditions that
seemed to limit the possibility of hui
man achievement.
The president spoke of Champlain
valley as battle-ground of 300 years
ago, and touched upon the history OF
lower Canada from that time to the
present. In conclusion he said: Il
echo and emphasize the statements OF
the two ambassadors and repeat their
prayer that never again may this
great valley be given a name in his
tory by reason of its being the seat Of
bloody war"
Governor Hughes and Governor
Prouty spoke briefly at Ticonderoga.

Helps Old Connecticut Town
Celebrate Its Anniversary
ASKS RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE
Takes a Fling at Pilgrim Fathers In
Good Natured Way-Hstory Is
Repeated In Grand Pageant In
Which Indian Dances and Battles
Are Faithfully Portrayed-Mock
Uncas Eats thurman Flesh"

Norwich, Conn, July 6.-Presi-
dent Taft was the chief figure in the
celebration of the 250th anniversary
of this history laden old New Eng
land town. In an address to the peo-
pie, following splendid military
parade and civic display, the presi-
dent, finding q theme in the church
influence in the building up of Nor
wich, took occasion to express his
views upon the liberty of religious be-
lief.
He pleaded that every man should
be allowed to worship God in his own
way. The president declared amid
laughter that the American forefath-
ers came to this country ostensibly to
escape religious intolerance, but as a
matter of fact came in order that they
might follow out their own religious
ideas in their own way and with a
large degree of intolerance toward any
other form of belief.
I'VE have passed beyond that now, "
said the president, land are coming
more and more to realize the right OF
the individual to worship God as he
may choose.
The day was replete with historic
incident. An open air pageant de-
picted scenes leading down from the
wars between the Mohican and Mar
ragansett tribes of Indians, through
the purchase of the site of Norwich
town from Uncas to Revolutionary
days, the welcome to Washington,
the return of the soldiers from the
Civil war, the dawn of peace, the
present day and the hope of the flu
ture
The pageant, held on a grassy plot,
surrounded by giant trees, was a pre-
tentious undertaking. Several hum
dred persons took part in the Ia
bleaux, the Indian dances, the battle
between the tribes, the capture of
Miantonomoh by Uncas, the death Of
the former and the portrayal of .ne
march of historic events.
The fight of the Indians was carried
out with great fidelity Of detail, and
even WHlle the preSluenl. lOOheu OH
the mock Uncas supposedly cut from
the shoulder of his dead enemy a
piece of flesh and ate it with every
evidence of fiendish delight.
1t is historically related of Uncas
that he afterward said that this was
the sweetest meat he had ever tasted
and that it made his heart strong.
After witnessing the pageant, the
president was driven to the grave Of
Uncas in Sachem street, where a
monument stands to his memory as
the good friend of the white man. The
president also was shown many other
points of interest. 1t seemed that
nearly every building in the city was
of sufficient historic significance to
bear a descriptive placard.
The president, arriving from Bev-
erly by special train, was driven di-
rect to the pageant. Later he re-
viewed a parade which was notable in
many of its features, addressed the
people from the reviewing stand, held
a reception in the Buckingham Me-
mortal and witnessed last night a
brilliant display of fireworks.

STRIKE ORDERED BY FORMER
Over Three Thousand Men Obey the
Call, While Nearly That Number of

Work-Long Labor Controversy Has
Grown Very Bitter During the Last
Month In Cape Breton Mines


Grown Very Bitter During the Last
Month In Cape Breton Mines
Sydney, G.. B., July 7.-When the
Coal company's collieries Tuesday
over 5000 members of the United Mine
Workers organization refused to en-
ter the pits and the great coal strike
was on. The company employs over
5000 men in the mines. and less tnan
half this number, all members of the
Provincial Workmens association,
remained loyal, and proceeded to
work.
The general impression of the first
day of the strike is that the company
has scored a triumph, as all the col
lieries, with but one exception, No.
Z, were in operation. OF the 1900
men in No. only $50 reported for
work. This is the company's largest
colliery, and the one in which the
United Mine Workers greatest
strength lies.
Late in the afternoon the first real
excitement in connection with the
strike began, when about 2000 miners
from the various collieries congregat-
ed about the main entry of No. . col
lery at New Aberdeen. The crowd
attempted no violence, but as the
miners who had worked during the
day attempted to leave for their homes
they were followed by crowds of men
and boys, who Kissed and jeered them
and called them names. The major
ity of the men took the jeers of the
crowd in good part, while others re-
scented it. No offer was made to in
flict bodily harm on any of the men
while coming from the pit.
The labor agitation in the mines of
the Dominion Coal company has been
in progress for nearly a year, the of
ficials of the United Mine Workers of
America, which is the American Or
company.
In this effort the American labor
leaders were opposed by the Provin-
cial Workingmen's association, which
labor organization was formed here
some time before the appearance of
the United Mine Workers.
The Dominion Coal companys man
ayers refused the request of the Unit
ed Mine Workers, it being the intima-
ton of Dominion officials that the
American labor leaders were seeking
to divert the Canadian coal trade to
the collieries in the United States.
During the last month the contro-
versy between the two labor organiza-
lions has grown very bitter and antici-
pating that resort might be made to
violence the Dominion Coal company
built stockades around the mines, on
the top of which were strung electric
wires which could be used in carrying
high powered currents. The company
also enlisted more than $50 special
officers for guard duty.

SEES MINERS AT WORK
President Visits Underground
Operations at Butte.

Helena, Mont, Sept 2S.--Attired In
a linen buster, an old black SLOUGH hat
and swinging an electric lantern at
his side, President Taft was locked in
narrow iron cage and dropped 1000
feet through midnight blaclkness into
the depths of the famous old Leonard
copper mine at Butte. He had the
rare experience of seeing miners at
work with a giant drill in a vein of
high grade ore that sparkled green
with it's wealth of mineral.
When he had assembled with whi2,
after an hour under ground, the presi-
dent, blinking in the glare of the noon
day sun, was cheered to the echo by
the crowd of curious people gathered
at the hoist. He declared enthusiast
tically:
81 would not have missed it for the
world
The president also visited the big
smelters at Anaconda and from there
made the run to this city, where he
was greeted by an immense crowd at
the state fair grounds.
