Great Confederate Soldier

Gen. John G. Pemberton, who de.
tended Vicksburg when that city was
bes1eged by the Federal army under
General Grant, was born in Philadel-
phla 100 years ago. He was a gradu-
ate Of West Point and saw service in
the Mexican war. At the beginning of
the Civil war he cast his fortunes with
the South. After service of a year or
more in the East he was assigned to
the command of the department of
the Mississippi by President jefferson
Davis, with whom he was a great ia
vorite. For nine months General Penn
berton defended Vicksburg against the
Northern armies. The siege lasted till
July 4, 1868, when, owing to a scarcity
of ammunition and provisions, Gen
err "~Iberton surrendered his entire
army. After the war he retired to
Warrington, Va, and in 1876 moved
to Perth Amboy, n. j., and subse-
quently to Philadelphia, where he died
in 1881.

FOOD FACTS
What An M. D. Learned.

A prominent Georgia physician went
through a food experience which he
makes public.
1T was my own experience that

prescribed it to convalescents and
other weak patients, that the food is

Il was in such low state that
had to give up my work entirely, and
went to the mountains of this state,
but two months there did not improve
me; in fact, I was not quite as well
as when / left home.
'My food did not sustain me and
it became plain that l must change.
Then l began to use Grape-Nuts food
and in two weeks | could walk mile

time l have felt as we'll and strong

The Hapsburg Omen.

1t would be interesting to learn
whether the recent assassination of
the Austrian archduke was preceded
by the appearance of a raven-the
hoder of ill-fortune to the house of
Hapsburg, according to the author of
THE Martyrdom of an Empress" The
empress of Austria herself once wrote
poem on the subject, and it was only
the day before her death that the omen
appeared to her. The anonymous

COAL MINERS MAY STRIKE
A strike of 100000 bituminous min
ers looms up as possibility today
as a result of the arbitrary tactics
employed by the Ohio coal operators
in dealing with the men.
The conference between the min
ers and the operators of Ohio, Penn
sylvania, Indiana and Illinois came to
an abrupt ending yesterday. Presi-
dent John P. White of the United
Mine Workers issued the following
statement: 49,.
THE Joint interstate conference
adjourned sine die without reaching
an agreement. The officers of the in
ternational organization have worked
diligently to bring about peaceable
settlement
1T has been stated that the influ-
ence of certain non-union coal oper-
ators who desired strike in the I'M
ion fields\ was exerted to prevent
settlement. If such was the case, this
non-union influence was too strong
to be overcome.
I'VE are determined, however, that
non-union operators shall not precipi
tate a strike in the mining industry
if we can avoid it. Our failure to
agree at this time does not necessar-
lily mean a strike on April 1.
1.-The policy committee represent
ing the United Mine Workers of
America will meet tomorrow and out
line plan of settlement which we be-
ieve will maintain industrial peace in
all the coal mining sections of this
country and at the same time bring
about an agreement fair and just to
all concerned" ,-..

POWDER MAKERS PREDICT
WAR WILL BE SHORT ONE

Philadelphia, Pa, Aug A general
war in Europe could not last six
months, high officials of the +. l. Du-
pont de Nemours Powder company de
clared yesterday. The war will be a
"smokeless powder war" the first
great war in which that explosive has
been used, they said, and for this sea
son a prolonged conflict is an impos-
sibility.
The life" OF smokeless powder is
so short that the almost ineXhaustible
supply that would be required for a
prolonged war could not be accumu-
lated. they said. All the nations of
Europe have as large a supply as
could be obtained in years of fore
sight, they asserted, but even such a
supply could not last six months.
The principal nations of Europe
are able to supply themselves with
powder and have large stores of it on
hand" said T. Coleman Dupont, presi-
dent of the company. These stores
are not ineXhaustible, however, and
do not look for long war"
Pierre S. Dupont, a vice president of
the company, said that while the ma
lions of Europe have large supplies
of powder on hand they probably will
try to obtain powder elsewhere if they
expect a long war.
