 Having abandoned Chihuahua to the federals the rebels destroyed all bridges between Bachimba. where the last battle occurred, and Sauez north of Chihuahua the small station at which the rebel out posts now are gathered.
 The evacuation of the city of Chihuahua means that the zone of rebel control will be greatly diminished, Juarez being the only important point that remains.

War Now on in England.

MAN WITH MISSION IN LIFE

ponent of Socialism.
MAN WITH MISSION IN LIFE
BY L. n. MOORE.
LONDON, March ., 1912

LoNDON, Mafcn :, lSl..
One man and one man only is
responsible for the coal war That
man is d. A. Thomas. around whose
personality the fighting section Of the
coal owners, not only in south Wales.
but throughout the country. are rallying.
To realize what manner Of man this is
who wields such enormous power for
veal or woe 1t is interesting to traverse
his career. In person he looks every
inch a fighter. The firm. square jaw,
the deep-set eyes and the tightly COM
pressed lips bespeak man Of determi-
nation, of tire!ess tenacity of purpose
Here Is a spirit that is in its element
when meeting difficulties and overcom-
ing them. Mr.. Thomas has had many
fights. many tangles to unravel.
A Welshman-born at Aberdare March
&c. 1885, the son OF colliery owner-Mr.
Thomas has followed in his fathers foot
steps. From Cambridge, where he won
scholarships at Jesus and Caius. taking
honors in mathematics, he settled down
to the serious business of life as q col
liery owner. and is now far and away
the most forceful figure in the councils
of the coal owners.
The Cambrian combine. of which Mr..
Thomas is the brain, is a powerful trust
with a capital of more than R2,OOO 900
sterling. which owns twenty-five Of the
most valuable pits in South Wales, en-
ploying 10000 workmen and yielding an
average annual output Of over 1900, OOO
tons OF steam coal, held to be the best
OF its kind that finds its way TO the coal
markets of the world.
Interests Are Varied.
The combine supplies much of the ad.
'miralty coal for the use Of the navy
and. in addition, 1t has contracts with
some of the largest steamship lines In
the world. Outside the actual business OF
coal-getting the trust has other interests
For example, il controls one of the mos,
important firms engaged in the supply O,
pit wood used for "timbering'' purposes
through Mr.. Thomas, virtually absorbed
the coal shipping firm OF Sutherland &
TO-. this being followed up by another
move eight years later. when he &C
sluired controlling interest in the firn
of l.. Gueret. Ltd, which had an ex.
tensive business as manufacturers Of pat
ent fuel. as coal shippers, pit-wood mer.
chants and shipbrokers, besides being in
timately associated with a French firn
controlling a fleet of half a dozen steam
ers. A man of the widest ambitions, Il
is clear that Mr.. Thomas aims at tn,
creation in south Wales OF a giganti,
concern under his control engaged in al
branches of coal-getting and distribu
ton.
In 1855 Mr.. Thomas took to politics be
ing elected for Merthyr Boroughs as al
advanced radical. He held his seat unit

safe to assert that Mr.. Thomas will re-
tain his hold on the admiration Of the |
miners and their leaders in spite of what
the next few days may bring forth.
