the recent agitation there. About three
months ago the Navigation Generate
ItaHana gave an order for $50, 900 tons
of American coal, and the probability
of a permanent trade is not being ov-
erlooked seeing that as the syndicate
which is developing the coal lands in
Weste Virginia and Pennsylvania has
acquired valuable ore properties in
Spain, ii will now be possible TO run
a regular line of steamers from Balti-

prospect of return cargoes.
All these foreign enterprises will
naturally seriously prejudice the en-

Although King George intends to be-
stow his formal encoura cement upon
the social aspect of the turf, it is an
open secret at the court that he does
not mean to elevate the sport of horse
racing to supreme place in his per-
sonal interests. King George is a firm
believer in physical recreations for
the nationa at large. He desires to
make it clear that, SO far as he is
concerned. personal effort in recrea-
ton deserves higher place in the es.
timation Of the people than mere at
tendance at spectacular sports. He is
very proud-and does not hesitate to
| say so to his intimates-of the title OF
sport sman, but he has no laundering
after the reputation of being sport
ing man" While, therefore, he will &C
down to EPSON for the summer meet

ment to other forms of sport as oppor
tunity serves.

that Cowes will be more brilliant af

and queen will not be back agar

1t means that, when staying at Wind

London. March 25-Of course we
are all fond of Americans here, espe-
cially during a coronation year when
enough of their millions to ease the
burdens of our downtrodden taxpay-
ers. We love them for selling their
daughters to our impecunious lords.
and thus enable them TO hold on lit
tie longer to the land our vanishing
farming population are signing to be
allowed to till. We even forgive them
for helping the nationalists toward
home rule, but there are limits to our
love, and when it comes to allowing
our children to read the lives of Am
erican presidents. we put our foot
down in no uncertain way-at least
here in London.
The city fathers of our great metro
polls have an index expurgatorious Of
their own containing the title of books
which our children must not see, and
the Lives of American Presidents" is
printed in heavy type on that list.
Out of the five volumes which con-
stitute the series. only one, From
Log Cabin to White House." the story
of Garfield's life. possesses any attrac-
ton for the modern school boy, if he
demands for books from school librar-
les is any criterion.
The education committee of the l..
c. c. says that these FIVE books which
deal with the lives of Americas best
known Notwithstanding George
Washington-'are not biographical in
the best sense. and are expanded to
an unreasonable length by imaginary
dialogues between historical charac-
tiers. dialogues which often contain
vulgar colloquialisms. In addition.
subjects which are usually treated
with reverence. are dealt with in a
manner that is familiar and flippant.
AS result of increa sing competi-
ton on the part of American and Ger
man exporters. the outlook for the
British coal industry is at present far
from satisfactory.
Labor troubles in the United King
dom coal fields have also been a
powerful factor in favor of foreign
shippers, while the operation of the
coal mines eight hour act has not
improved the situation.
At one time the home market was
considered inviolate against imports
from abroad but of late several car
goes of Westphalian qualities have
been forwarded to the Thames.
Indeed, although charters for car
rying German coal to Italian, Egypt
ian and South American ports were at
one time of rare occurrence, they are
now almost familiar The important
contracts for Havre and Savona were
only a few days ago wrested by Ger
many from merchants in the north OF
England and others are expected to
follow.
American firms too. are now invad
ing markets that were at one time
practically monopolized by British
shippers. AS matter of fact, inquir

tons of coal from Baltimore to Havre
