WELSH MINERS WILL
Reject SETTLEMENT

London, Aug. 25-The decision of
Walter Runciman, president of the
board of trade, who acted as arbi-
traitor on disputed questions in the
South Wales coal strike, has been an
nounced
The decision, highly technical, re-
jects some of the miners demands,
but grants others that relate to
wages. Vernon Hartshorn, the miners
leader, telegraphed from Cardiff:
The Runciman settlement is inn
possible Even if the leaders accept
ed it the workmen, who do not bene-
fit by it, would refuse ii and they
can tie up the whole field. Runci-
man has taken away what David
Lloyd George and Arthur Henderson
promised the miners and has brought
about a dangerous crisis"
One of the principal disputed
points was whether any increase in
wages granted at the present time
was to be regarded as merely bonus
or a permanent adjustment. Mr..
Runciman decides the new agree
ment is applicable only to the alb
normal conditions prevailing during
the war and is not intended for a
precedent or to apply to normal
times"

RECENT VICTORIES

Amsterdam, Aug 25.-The superb
spectacle of the parade before the
kaiser OF thousands of German
troops on the wide plain before Noyo-
georgievsk, the captured Russian for
tress, when the emperor addressed
the troops, proved his majesty in the
best of health and spirits. His face
was radiant and his voice clear and
strong.
Standing in the center of an i'm
mense hollow square the kaiser
spoke for five minutes. leaning cas-
lily on cane, which he occasionally
thrust into the ground to emphasize
his words. His manners were easy
and simple and his tone and bearing
to the troops were more like those Of
a brother and comrade in arms than
the head of the empire.
Surrounded by thousands of troops
and attended by Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg, General Beseler, Gen
eral Falkenhayn and Admiral Muel-
ler, the emperor faced toward the
horizon, which was black with smoke
rising from the burning fortress. Be
hind him were ranks upon ranks OF
gray clad troops.

The Berlin newspaper commented on
the statement that Russia is about to
fill the ranks of her armies and put

This is an excellent theory, the Vos-
