While scoring conditions generally
in the coal fields and criticizing many
of the acts of the mine operators, in
Guiding alleged violation of state laws,
the committee reports that no evil

the mines. nor conclusive proof of the
existence of peonage.
The strike was settled long before
the committee completed its report. so
no specific recommendations were
made. The committee appeals. how

Washington, March 2. Germany
has accepted the United States gov
ernment proposals to end perils TO
neutral shipping in "a reply to the
American note, with few modifica-
tions concerning the mined areas in
the North Sea, while Great Britain an
nounces that it is carefully consid
ering an agreement.
The British announcement came
simultaneously with Premier AS
Commons announcing a blockade of
all shipping to German. Austrian and
Turkish ports as a reprisal upon the
Kaiser's submarine warfare.
Ambassador Jusserand called on
Secretary Bryan and announced the
participation of France in the block
ade of Germany. All commercial in
tercourse by sea between Germany
and the outside world was declared
prohibited by both the British and
French ENJOYS.
If this policy is enforced it will no
longer be possible to ship cotton, man

The impression was general in of
ficial quarters that a strong protest
would be made against the action OF
the allies. which was regarded as an
unprecedented step.
Officials pointed out that in the re-
prisals which the belliserents were
making toward each other there was
singular forgetfulness of the fact that
whatever might be the violations of
international custom as between those
countries at war, this could not affect
the status of international rules as be-
tween the United States and countries
with which she was at peace.

hog, whose grass grows ever green,
while that of his neighbors might as
well be salted down; for the water su-
perintendent has ordered a cessation of
sprinkling.
The precipitation is all that is needed
now, but soon June and July sunshine
will be On US, and the lawns Of the city
will be calling for copious drinks every
night. Ii is then that the water hog
gets in his woik. You may pass his
residence in the late night hours and
you will hear the slow hiss Of water es-
Gaping from his faucets. The end of
the hose is stuck away in an obscure
little hole, but a stream flows gently
forth and on the morrow that lawn will
smile despite the sunshine.

patrons allow the hose to run after

be eliminated, and all residents will
be given a fair chance. Offenders
should be cinched to the limit. They
